Asking for a friend.
Are hackathons still a thing?
Or are we past that?
1. Yes, a thing
2. No, old news
answer ⇊

Click-through ≠ growth.
Vanity metrics are killing your strategy and everyone else's, but not much we could do till now?
Web3 marketing is not the same as web2 marketing.
Even though wallet data is public, users are primarily privacy centric and want to keep their clicks private.
Most web3 users don’t click links either.
Click-through rates are vanity metrics any way.
A click does not mean the users came, saw, and did something of value on your dapp.
The web3 funnel is also not linear.
They see your ad, get curious, and then visit your dapp directly.
Almost always through some official trusted channel.
Hardly ever through the link.
Phishing paranoia is real.
But up until very recently measuring web3 ad campaigns with CPMs and CTRs was the only way.
And let’s face it, it’s still mostly how it’s done.
We need better ways to track real outcomes.

ofc:
- we're launching a natively gasless L2, meaning we don't make revenue on the sequencer side
- to actually fund the L2, we are getting a commission on the native yield + native apps fees
- the rest of that yield and fees (70%) goes to a public funding pool where the community votes on which app/protocol/public good/liquidity provider gets funded and incentivized
the design of the public pool getting funded by eth yield was really similar to the early octant design and reinforced the idea within our team that this made sense and was worth pursuing 🫡

I’ll be speaking at @EthCC for the third year in a row!
This time, I'm diving into a paradox that is shaping web3: privacy–privacy tradeoffs. What happens when the tech we build to protect privacy today ends up hurting it tomorrow?

Repeat for those in the back: Lazarus was able to access the credentials of a dev.
Of one of the safest protocols out there.
Good luck using any protocols anymore, audits are no longer enough
Like very few other projects, @safe stands for security and reliability. This reputation is based on 10 years of building secure multi-sig solutions.
This security was now compromised through a targeted attack on the ByBit Safe.
Lazarus was able to access the credentials of a Safe developer leading to the catastrophic loss of funds.
The team took all measures to reconfigure and re-instantiate the infrastructure securely making the frontend again accessible to everyone.
We are committed to solving the underlying issues, decentralization of infrastructure, and verifiability of transactions. Signing transactions blindly is a risk no one should have to take.
I want to thank @benbybit and the ByBit team for their collaboration in identifying the issue and providing transparency. For them as for us, protecting users is the highest priority.

Today, most DAOs and protocols manage their governance with centralized tools like Discourse. But this might end soon...
We are really proud to share that @DXdao_ picked Orbis to build DAVI, a new decentralized governance product 🥳
