The existence of hate speech and misinformation does not justify censorship. The solution lies in our ability to reinforce productive expression and navigate our way through deceitful information. Censorship is never the answer.
The highest paid marketer in crypto is earning $850,000. Base pay. Yesterday I was engagement baiting about CMO comp so @madladshad made a salary survey. Enough misinformation. This is what CMOs actually earn. 👇
When will web3 interop be good enough? When our grandparents can use crypto apps across chains without asking us for help.
Across V4 introduces new and improved crosschain architecture. The system combines intents and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to expand to more chains, faster. Here’s the technical breakdown. 🧵
The era of AI web browsers is here. With @PerplexityComet, @diabrowser, and soon @OpenAI's browser launching on Chromium, I have a feeling the way humans interact online is about to change big time. But for better or worse? In the long-run, I'm not sure. What do y'all think?
We are halfway through 2025, so it’s time for a mid-year update. Here’s a deep dive into UMA’s performance over the past six months and a sneak peek into where we’re heading next.

IBM couldn’t build an OS so they were forced to partner with Microsoft. Apple can’t build an AI so they’ll be forced to partner with the next Microsoft. The only way out is to collaboratively fund a competitive open source model.
AI can give you information. It can’t give you skills. However, it can give you the information you need to learn skills faster. Take initiative. Learn how to ask AI the right questions. Put in the work.
Watch XRP be the one to win this whole crypto thing. The irony would be 🤌
woke up thinking (rare) how tf does one team ship both Across and UMA? still no clue. but we did. and we’re just getting started. also, check the fresh new look risklabs.foundation
You think prediction markets are cool? Just wait until you go down the onchain IP rabbit hole.
I remember my first call with Chef Momo to start exploring an integration of @AcrossProtocol into @PancakeSwap . Here's how everything unfolded: 1. PancakeSwap began integrating our Across API using our documentation, with support from our team (@againes_ & @KanishkKhurana_ )…
