controversial, but what if Ethereum doesn’t have a problem

🔥 BULLISH: Top protocols in the Ethereum ecosystem have launched EPAA to ensure onchain infrastructure has a voice in policymaking.
We got the band together 😏🪇
It’s critical for policy to reflect the pragmatic and technical realities of securing $100B+ onchain, without intermediaries. Meet the Ethereum Protocol Advocacy Alliance.

the last 2 years we've been building what i always wanted to use on ethereum. this is how we it get to 3B people.
By 2030, three billion people will live on stablecoins. They will use Tuyo, the universal money account. The TUYO rewards program goes live today.
Ethereum is positioned to become the legitimacy layer of the world.

Be the SMTP you wish to see in the world.
In 10 years, many more people will use crypto, but they may not know they're using crypto. They only need to feel the benefits, not understand the systems behind it. The best tech is often invisible.

By choosing to deploy assets into @SteakhouseFi vaults on @MorphoLabs the EF has chosen vaults protected by @AragonProject trustless guardians. The best user protection in the world.
0/ Today, the Ethereum Foundation deposited 2400 ETH and ~$6M stablecoins into Morpho’s yield-bearing vaults. Morpho is a pioneer in permissionless DeFi protocols and consistently demonstrates a commitment to Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) principles.
there’s a way through every block
All the realms rejoice!
Ethereum 🤝 Bhutan This is cool - Bhutan just integrated the BhutanNDI system with Ethereum. Vitalik and Aya joined the ceremony with the Prime Minister and Crown Prince. BhutanNDI is a private SSI system for verifiable credentials on-chain for anything citizen related 🇧🇹

Bullish DeFi. Our systems are becoming incredibly battle tested for an increasingly volatile world.

This may be an unserious threat to sound policy today, but it’s a chilling preview of what’s around the corner. Reminder we’re not building DeFi for friendly regulators. We’re building for resilience.
1/ Senate Democrats are trying to kill market structure. A group just sent a counter-proposal to the RFIA and it is deeply unserious. These Senators claim to be pro-crypto, but what they propose is basically a crypto ban. It's hard to imagine a good deal happening right now 🧵

these messaging features are now table stakes: - let me reply to a message without creating a thread @SlackHQ - let me react with the emoji of my choice @telegram thanks ✌️

Protocols FTW ✊
Replying to @awrigh01
The pattern is clear. Open protocols beat closed systems. Email killed postal monopolies. TCP/IP killed telco cartels. HTTP killed CompuServe. Now: stablecoins kill banking rails. Same movie, different industry.

Code is free speech and encryption is the right to bear arms.
This is what happens when organizations aren’t subject to market dynamics and finding product market fit.

ve-lockers and gauges were pioneered by @curvefinance on Aragon OS, becoming the cornerstone of DeFi tokenomics. Now, the same team launches @YieldBasis’ tokenomics and governance on the new generation Aragon OSx.
Dear founders, It’s always a good time to build something you believe in.
Dear founders, It's a good time to sell your company. Love, Brian.

Looking forward to speaking at the #CVSummit in Zurich tomorrow for @AragonProject! If you want to chat about deploying your network token, onchain governance, or token value accrual, hit me up! Thanks to @CV_Labs for hosting!

This is massive. Congrats @SteakhouseFi and @MorphoLabs for powering this milestone for DeFi adoption!
Stablecoin yield for the masses. Starting today, @Coinbase users will be able to access competitive yields thru vaults, curated exclusively by @SteakhouseFi. Powered by @MorphoLabs. This brings access to onchain money markets for millions. Explainer below ↓

Policy is an edge paired with flexible tools to implement developments onchain and remain adaptable to future challenges and opportunities. The @AragonProject stack is tailor-made for protocols and organizations to optimize their operations in a shifting landscape with minimal friction, cost, and overhead.
To win in this market, founders must track policy better and faster than the competition. Our priority @variantfund is helping founders find edge, and policy is the new edge, so we're doubling down. I'm thrilled to welcome @salahghazzal as Policy Lead 🔥 blog.variant.fund/policy-is-…
