A few years ago we decided to re-build Aragon & its tooling from the ground-up.
We realized that DAOs & onchain organizations were suffering & although they had been built on unstoppable infrastructure they were hamstrung from reaching their goals.
Launching the new protocol, Aragon OSx, was us planting the flag for a more modular, adaptable, & secure future for any onchain organization that would stand the test of time.
Today we mirror that protocol in our app, where you can now easily launch the most customisable organizational setup onchain in the industry. Allowing your team to focus on your product & know that you'll be able to adapt to anything that comes your way.
We are here to empower you to maximize the value you create and distribute this to your network, creating a flywheel to the moon.
It's been a long road, but we are just getting started.
The next generation is here. 🦅💙
Everyone should reflect on if they classify themselves as a taker or maker.
For about 6 years post university I lived the best and most selfish life, but eventually I decided it was time to shift from taking to making.
I’m still not sure I’ve past neutrality at Aragon, but I’m certainly trying.
You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world.
The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it becomes obvious that the path to prosperity for all is just let the makers make.
Regarding Tesla, the reality is that I have been given nothing.
However, if I lead Tesla to become the most valuable company in the world by far and it stays that way for 5 years, shareholders voted to award me 12% of what is built. Anyone who wants to come along for the ride can buy Tesla stock.
If Tesla “merely” becomes a $1.999 trillion dollar company, I get nothing. This is a great deal for shareholders, which is why they voted so overwhelmingly to approve this, for which I am immensely grateful.
And they did so by a margin far more than you won your political seat.
I actually agree with this take after watching tons of privacy projects fail being too purist and not shipping something anyone would use.
No trad company will outperform onchain, trust-minimized, and decentralized software in the future.
You can’t beat regulations, but code can.
circle has 12 months to solve an unsolvable problem. usdc can't comply with both mica and genius act using one token. eu requires 30% reserves in eu banks, us requires 100% in us treasuries. same address can't redeem through both systems. $35b liquidity splits into usdc-us and usdc-eu. defi protocols need separate pools for each. 0.5-2% price divergence guaranteed. eu stablecoins like eure capture the arbitrage.
Devil is in the details.
Just because xUSD was a scam founded by bad people doesn’t mean every yield-generating stablecoin is bad.
T-bills have risk, using a bank has risk and holding USD itself is an automatic loss of funds to inflation.
Choose the risk for your reward.
Very happy to support the @3FLabs team!
Investing early is about investing in people and this team has what it takes to go far!
Amidst a challenging week in DeFi, we’re thrilled to announce 3F's angel round backed by many leading DeFi OGs, as we build a one-click leverage solution for RWAs.
Together, we’re excited to shape a more transparent and trustless DeFi. Stay tuned.

The concept of the EPAA was born out of a frustration of watching major centralized companies taking a lead on crypto policy while protocol builders and the Ethereum community as a whole was sidelined.
We decided to do something about it.
Some of Ethereum's biggest players, incl @LidoFinance @aave and @Uniswap , are banding together to shape how Ethereum infra is understood and regulated. This is a great and important effort.

Took a little more off the table on $ZEC. Fully sold out the amount I put in, up 550%. Gravy train keep running!

🔥 BULLISH: Top protocols in the Ethereum ecosystem have launched EPAA to ensure onchain infrastructure has a voice in policymaking.

Seven major @ethereum protocol teams, including @aave Labs and @UniswapFND, have united to form the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance (EPAA).
The group aims to collaborate on global policy issues impacting Ethereum-based software.
