It’s been a very eventful 2024 for the HonorCode project and on-chain reputation more generally, and 2025 looking even brighter with efforts like Deep Funding picking up. This year-in-review thread is a reference for the main milestones and posts so far:
Mr. Mamdani, SHUT DOWN THIS #CANTILEVER.
This week saw an announcement that NYC is searching for a #BQE Czar to oversee the troubled stacked section near Brooklyn Heights. If this project goes forward with the aim of fixing it in place, it will fail horribly.
The easiest option is to simply close that stretch for safety reasons--we've also seen how quickly weak structures can buckle. Traffic will adapt. If the Feds want to pay to rebuild their interstate, then let's talk. But Brooklyners should have the final say over what goes there.
You may be curious about where we've been lately, and the long answer is...we've been cooking something big! Shorter answer, is watching the NY #Knicks kickin' ass.
This account doesn't cover sports much, but watching Brunson and Co's miraculous win raises a point about honor...
The fact that this championship lifted the spirits and brought an entire city together simply compounds the significance of the stunning result. Past critics have been forced to confront their misreading of what it takes to win at the highest level.
Nobody exemplifies Knicks honor more than the King of NY himself, Jalen Brunson. The realization that the lead player gave up millions of $$$ to assemble a winning team has upended the world of sports. True honor is rare.
Congrats all and Let's Go #knicks2026champs !
The fact that the championship raised the spirit and comradery across an entire city only compounds the significance of the event. Longtime critics were forced to confront their misreading of what it takes to win at the highest level.
I'm pleased to finally announce a UI for HonorCode! Available on OP Mainnet here: docs-site-lac.vercel.app/app
Implementing basic reputation tracking for projects, I was able to replicate the original allocation in minutes instead of hours.
Peter Turchin is one of the few big picture thinkers able to see our society through the light of history and thermodynamics. His recent discussion of the dynamics driving inequality and the breakdown of social cohesion deserves attention.
We need to call it out for what it is: #corporatesocialism is a deliberately engineered set of financial policies, institutions, laws, privileges that allow superrich to escape negative consequences. BC what good is all that $$$ if it can't be used to carve out special treatment?
Here are a few examples, sry for paywall

This past week, the #FederalReserve cut short-term interest rates in the midst of sky-high stocks and unaffordable homes, low unemployment, and rising inflation. Such a questionable move only makes sense through the lens of metastasizing #corporatesocialism.
By overstimulating the financial sector, rent extraction and asset speculation are allowed to run rampant. Actual productive investment is not incentivized, because it’s simply easier to park capital in a sure thing instead of making a risky bet.
Certainly we’ll keep seeing wealthy elites & their media stooges concoct excuses for outrageous policies, while claiming the free market is at work. But make no mistake: we’re seeing #corporatesocialism further entrench, which will continue to spew its ugly and poisonous fruit.
