some "ethereum 10 year anniversary torch" scams going around - be warned! - Every torchbearer has already been confirmed + scheduled. Any new requests are fake. - The event NFT is not available yet, mint info will be shared on the livestream. Anything before is fake.
I want to tear it all down. The closed platforms. The extractive models. The systems that weren’t built for us. Ethereum gives us a shot at building something better. Let’s not waste it. More on this soon ;)
0/ Share your moonshot ideas. What do you want to build on Ethereum over the next decade?

Ethereum wants to be a neutral platform for humanity That only works if no one’s in charge The EF doesn’t control it. No one does Decentralization of blockchains isn’t optional, it’s the point Easy to forget, easier to lose Clip from @pumatheuma on @ExpansionPod_

Kraken, via Ink, will offer onchain loans to their users through a white-labeled Aave market operated by Ink. Aave's infrastructure will be utilized for onchain loans, using Aave as a DeFi mullet. dlnews.com/articles/defi/…
What makes a crypto asset a strong long term store of value? Some properties I think are important: - Wide token distribution - Wide, unsubsidized node distribution - Multiple independent clients - Permissionless block production
Posting to Farcaster directly from the @baseapp, from my Base account, all in one spot. Super neat 🔥. This is how we onboard the mainstream.
Big congrats to @jessepollak and the @base team on the app + rebrand After the ruling limiting Apple’s take rate, Base is first to move Don’t bet against Jesse, or the incredible community he’s built
Decentralization is merely a means to an end The goals of a public blockchain are: - Corruption-resistance - Censorship-resistance - Permissionless access To mitigate MEV, we weakened censorship-resistance That’s why I think FOCIL should be the headliner
Twitter did a lot of good for the world. But it’s built to maximize time on app, not quality of experience. And a weird quirk of human behavior is that outrage keeps us engaged, so that’s what the algorithm optimizes for. Farcaster flips that on its head. With @farcaster_xyz,…
Bitcoin mining is already a duopoly, and it’s only getting worse. Economies of scale and shrinking rewards push everyone out except the top two. Soon, only they’ll decide what gets added to the Bitcoin chain. The rest will pivot. Ethereum is the endgame.
Bit Digital and @SamirTabar flipped BTC mining to an ETH treasury on 7/7/25. Since then: - ETH is up ~40% - BTBT owns over 120k ETH - BTBT market cap > $1.25bn - ***ETH/BTC is up ~30%*** Bitcoin was the beginning… Ethereum is the endgame. There really is no second best.
