A few weeks ago I said there was a seismic change in Ethereum's social layer about to happen. It's happening.
Multiple big infrastructure players that most users don't know about are starting to collaborate and build together, doubling down on ETH and the Ethereum network. Follow @blockspaceforum to keep up with it.
The biggest block builder (@titanbuilderxyz), the biggest relay (@ultrasoundmoney), @ETHGasOfficial, @Commit_Boost (38% network adoption), @QuasarBuilder, @primev_xyz, @nuconstruct, @blocknative, @fabric_ethereum, researchers from the @ethereumfndn, and many others are all coordinating. Many of us realized that they had to team up and work closely together to make our opinions stronger and speed up our ability to deliver.
In the last 5 years @class_lambda built many of the most relevant zkVMs and Ethereum L2s. Last year we went all in on @ethereum L1.
In a year we built @ethrex_client, one of the fastest production ready execution clients at about 60k lines of code. We're coordinating with big stakers and the MEV pipeline to grow its adoption while also shipping multiple products around it.
We're building a new RISC-V zkVM with @alignedlayer and @3miLabs that I think will become a standard for L1 proving and @eth_proofs in the short term.
We're working on @leanEthereum by building our own @ethlambda_lean client.
We helped develop the @Commit_Boost sidecar that standardizes communication between validators and third party protocols. We're happy to have helped build a critical piece of software that is now running on 38% of the Ethereum network.
We also started collaborating with @titanbuilderxyz on different things under @kubimensah's lead. Hopefully soon we'll be working closely with @alextes and @ultrasoundrelay too!
There's more I want to share but can't yet. For now I can say that @class_lambda is part of the @blockspaceforum process and I'm very excited about what's coming.
Keep an eye on what we will be doing, I promise it's gonna get interesting.

'Just use a VPS' bro.
It's just a 1-click, 2222-step install.
Incredible to see the meme play out so accurately re @openclaw. Some incredible takes ๐
"Runs Clawdbot on a $5/mo Hetzner VPS in Frankfurtโ
โข โSSH tunnel + tmux + systemd service + nginx reverse proxy for WhatsApp bridgeโ
โข โWrote a custom Docker compose with 47 environment variables and healthchecksโ
โข โProudly self-hosting Claude on 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, constant OOM killsโ
โข โUses tailscale + cloudflare tunnel + fail2ban + weekly cron rebootsโ
โข โSpent 3 weekends optimizing latency instead of just buying the damn Mac Miniโ
โข โMy uptime is 99.3% if you ignore the weekly kernel panicsโ
โข โRefuses to pay $600 for hardware but happily burns $80/mo on VPS upgrades + electricityโ
โข โHas 3 backup scripts in bash but still panics when the instance gets suspendedโ
โข โThinks Mac Mini is โcentralized cloud nonsenseโ while running everything through DigitalOceanโ

A VPN ban doesnโt mean that theyโre going to lock up every single person who uses a VPN or watches porn.
Your governmentโs strategy is to make โcrimesโ like this as common and easy to commit as possible.
This way, if you ever do something completely legal which they *actually* donโt like, *which can be completely unrelated to VPNs or bypassing age verification,* they can pull up your internet history and easily prosecute you.
Organize a legitimate protest, and the governmentโs swift response will be to label you a child sex offender because they found you using evil VPN technology.
This is how free speech dies, not from a law that says โfree speech is dead now,โ but from draconian, authoritarian laws like this that give the government โplausibleโ reasons to go after anyone, which canโt easily be fought against.
๐ฏ this, and Iโm once again begging libertarian-type tech people to understand that a โVPN banโ or Chat Control doesnโt mean theyโre going to prevent you specifically from using a VPN or an encrypted messenger.
It means when they catch you doing so, theyโll use that fact itself as a pretense to lock you up without needing to do any โhard workโ like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Donโt think you wonโt be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter!

I've spent the past 5 years researching what works and what doesn't for fair token distribution and capital formation.
This is the culmination of that research. A guide for projects launching tokens and the participants evaluating them.

The Horizon upgrade is now live.
The Graph now supports a modular, multi-service future.
Horizon unlocks the ability for new data services to be built on the same protocol. Subgraphs continue as always, but The Graphโs underlying protocol now has the capacity to integrate new products like real-time streams, preindexed APIs, analytics tools, and more.
The Graph is not just Subgraphs; itโs a data protocol with many data services.

Your existence in this industry is on an as needed basis.
I am tired of reading entitled tweets authored by bozos who didnโt make it after 4-8 years of just existing. Or tweets of how unfair the industry is to left handed bisexual werewolves.
You are competing with the most intelligent motivated people on earth in the most pvp industry in existence.
If intelligence, hard work, and time in the industry were the recipe for success @_prestwich would be the emperor of the multiverse .
After 8 years of full time employment and 11 protocols launched. I still have not seen financial success. Please shut up, no one is listening.

since I started in crypto, I kept seeing zero-sum extraction > positive-sum building
it used to make me angry. still, then I learned to take an optimistic mindset and focus on what I can control: add more than I take
thatโs one of the reasons we created @AgenticZero during @EFDevcon, to give @ethereum an agnostic place without noise, to discuss the most important matters to help AI ร crypto builders make real progress
we are fortunate to have incredible sponsors like @CambrianNetwork @AlloraNetwork @gizatechxyz @ZyfAI_ @mimicfi @v0 @recallnet @daedalus_angels (and a few more you will learn about soon) that help us make it happen
I am incredibly thankful to all of them
AI scales decisions, crypto scales trust
if that resonates, pull up a chair ๐ช
