> This is a "we don't know what we actually want" problem. The mob wants ETH number to go up. Failing that, someone, anyone, to point fingers at. This will require greater need for and use of ETH, and therefore more burning of ETH. Fortunately, we are getting very close to being able to implement near-synchronous and synchronous composability in which tokens will be able to move automagically via ZK proofs that set up shared atomic execution contexts across multiple networks (L1, L2s, Besu private networks, ...) in real-time. This will unify fragmented liquidity pools in real-time. Much ETH will be burned increasingly many complex bridge-less cross-chain TXs are orchestrated. TradFi is coming to do some of this. Agentic will do some of this. And DeFi will make use of this.
Unpopular opinion: The Ethereum Foundation did nothing wrong. 2024: "EF is too centralized! Step back! Let the ecosystem breathe!" They listened. 2025: Restructured leadership. Reduced influence. Gave the community space. 2026: EthLabs launches. Now the same people are screaming: "Where's the leadership?! EF is useless!" Let me get this straight: → You demanded decentralization → You got decentralization → Now you're mad there's no central leader This isn't an EF problem. This is a "we don't know what we actually want" problem. We want the aesthetics of decentralization with the comfort of a king. We want someone to blame when things fail, but no one in charge when things succeed. The EF did exactly what the community asked. And now they're being punished for it. Maybe the problem isn't the foundation. Maybe it's the mob. Ethereum doesn't need saving. It needs the mentality to grow up. Agree or disagree? 👇

Crypto exists because of the 2008 financial crisis bailing out big banks so we decided to bail out Aave

the eth core devs don’t tweet a lot about just how hard the work that they do is so let’s talk about it: 1. every line of code they merge can move more money than most banks process in a quarter. there is no staging server for that. 2. they swap consensus logic for a 400B + dollar economy without scheduling downtime. ever. 3. they coordinate hundreds of researchers, auditors, and client teams across time zones, cultures, and philosophies, yet ship like a single mind. 4. they do it all in public, with every decision dissected by the loudest peanut gallery on the internet, and still keep the vibe collaborative. 5. they design for attackers who have nine figure incentives and infinite patience. then they sleep anyway. 6. they keep six independent clients in perfect sync so the same block lives at the same height for every node in the world. 7. they turn bleeding edge research into production code while preserving backwards compatibility for machines that went online before defi even had a name. 8. they debug issues that only happen once a year on a single archive node because someone somewhere will rely on that edge case. 9. they write cryptography that must stay unbroken for decades while the math itself evolves beneath their feet. 10.when the upgrade lands smooth the outside world shrugs. inside ethereum we know it was a minor miracle. every successful fork proves that decentralized coordination can outperform the world’s best hierarchies and shows that open internet capital markets are now the default. thank you, truly. we owe you everything.

So @ajnafi is an immutable protocol with fully permissionless functionality and a buy/burn on the delta between borrow/lend rates. The gov mechanic is exclusively used to allocate the grant rewards quarterly from the diminishing treasury. Otherwise no gov admin of the protocol.

It would seem I made it a habit of writing blog posts to wrap up a year in @thales_io and @OvertimeMarkets developments. This blog post was not intended as such, but it's an outcome of a long deliberation on what is the best future path for Thales protocol and token. It elaborates on our journey so far, and why I believe that, at this juncture, we should fully embrace Overtime's branding, coupled with a new token $OVER. There are fundamental tokenomics changes proposed in the accompanying governance proposal. Without further spoilers, I truly hope you read it and join the discussion. link.medium.com/ex5RQMKhfPb

If you are trading onchain literally anywhere besides @Kwenta_io on Arbitrum, you're overpaying on your trades. on Gains, you're overpaying by 7bps on GMX, you're overpaying by 5-9bps on Drift, you're overpaying by 4bps on Aevo, you're overpaying by 8bps

It might seem like just another release, but I've watched these 2 teams grind countless hours and late nights. We've had arguments, we've made friendship, we've watched children be born (congrats btw). Now it's here, and it's all so you can balls long memecoins. Enjoy. 🥂
