Apps need data, fast. Crypto's UX problem runs deeper than fragmented chains, private keys, gas costs or bridging. Somehow the majority of onchain applications still rely on APIs that massively slow down the user experience.
Didn't appreciate that our browsers are going to enable a) unprecedented amounts of "scraped" web data b) unprecedented amounts of behavioural training data AI is going to watch us use browsers, webpages, figma, etc. and it will soon be better than us at doing so.
The browser sees everything. This is the reason we’re getting so many new AI-first browsers from The Browser Co, Perplexity, and soon OpenAI. So they can “see” data that they increasingly cannot scrape. AI feeds on data. It gets the data by automatically scraping the web. But…
Polygon isn’t chasing adoption. We are earning it solving two problems that payments care about: ✅ Fees ✅ Speed That’s why you’ve been seeing more transaction volume, more merchants, and more institutional pilots landing here, and why we crushed it in H1. A thread 🧵 with…
Good guide to idx!!
🧵1/9 — We've seen @DuneSim Sim APIs. Now, @Dune's Sim IDX: the backend boost. It lets you listen, decode, enrich, and serve data from ANY smart contract. This is building real-time, query-ready pipelines that practically build themselves! 🚀 Please have a github account first.
ETH and SOL performance is being driven more by technicals than fundamentals at the moment, which explains the move over the last week. Still, Ethereum's share of onchain activity has been in decline since late 2Q24, while Solana currently owns 44% of all activity. Read more🧵👇…

shoutout to the @Dune team for producing some really high-quality, data-driven blog posts and newsletters! perfect weekend reads!
this is cool
This might be controversial, but your transactions should be able to fight back against malicious sandwiching validators. I built a simple program to do exactly that. You can't know at runtime if slippage is natural market movement or a sandwich attack. But if your swap lands…

just can’t help building things
7 years in, $80M raised, still all day every day in the arena building software and today also this lil ikea sofa for our office. Good times with my co-founder @mewwts
state of every ai tool right now: 10:00 your limits have reset 10:03 you have reached your limit
technical debt = your imaginary perfect picture white castle in the sky of what your system could be - what it is today
1/ Unpacking @pumpdotfun $PUMP ICO via fresh Dune data. Huge s/o to @Adam_Tehc for building it just hours after the ICO, delivering clear, immediate insights for all!
i have a huge bias towards focusing on what's not working. today was reminded about the simple act of asking the question; what's working? it can produce remarkable insights that the opposite question can not.
