I'm thrilled to start new work this week with the EF. high level, you can call me an "Ecosystem Liaison" 🤝
This means I'm talking to you as stakeholders, to find what's stuck and how to unstick it
unironically, how can I help? 😛 more to come soon
Short list of EIP-1559 benefits:
1. More predictable fees (reduce overpayment, better UX)
2. Removes incentive for reorgs in fee heavy environments
3. Cements primacy of ETH w/ BASE_FEE burn, ↑ cost of economic abstraction / MEV
4. Will allow in-protocol congestion oracle

ok, the tech is neutral in that any side of the aisle can leverage it..
But we should accept that this infra is inherently political as a confrontation to legacy institutions ↓

honestly impressed that the founders of L1 companies find the time to endlessly argue with people on this here website..
here i was thinking they had companies to build 🤔
As people claim & delegate the $OP airdrop:
Unless they do protocol gov fulltime, the person who is already a delegate for 2 other protocols on the side is _probably not_ the best pick. this stuff takes time to do thoughtfully

1/ Persian illumination is some of the most beautiful art i've encountered
The KZG Ceremony interface design pays homage to this artistic tradition, and inspired by / in solidarity with the Iranian people's ongoing struggle
the concept was conceived in sept. '22 post-merge
A few reasons to ignore hot takes about "1559 made high gas prices!1!"
1. new tx type experiments → congestion
2. people sending first burn tx → congestion
3. market volatility usually increases gas prices
4. miners are targeting 13.5mm gas, not 15mm
5. UIs still rolling out
you:
- thinks "L2s for execution" is a dirty word
- love monoliths
- handwave tradeoffs
me:
- at peace w/ the fact 99% of future users will never touch L1
- embraces modularity, eschews monoliths
- hands perfectly steady
we are not the same (but we can learn together!😄)
so honored to have another supporter of protocol stewardship through
@ProtocolGuild

massive kudos to the people at VanEck who reached out with an idea and made it happen so quickly

right? it's so awesome that anyone can run a validator node to check the books at their local credit credit union and Large International Bank. modern finance is so open and auditable! Lyn just curious what bank nodes do you run?

dishonest framing 🤦♂️
Proof-of-Stake is legacy tech. It's what corporations and banks have run on for centuries.
It's outdated and oligopolistic. And yet, still useful for centralized systems.
Proof-of-Work is the new innovation, especially when combined with difficulty adjustments.
