This tweet is already bullish, and I want to add some nuance because the way I see it there is something even subtler and more awesome about it Yes, pushing computation “offchain” with the computation committed to and proven succinctly onchain is awesome because it saves a ton of work to the network and allows for super light nodes. That’s a cryptographic world bulletin board, but not quite a computer imo Indeed, a world computer should also be the main owner of its state. You can keep state offchain, meaning that contention resolves out of band from the ethereum network. This is not necessarily something we want however, because the state of ethereum, its liquidity, its accessibility, is a huge part of why ethereum enjoys such massive network effects. When a liquidation is meant to resolve, I don’t want it to resolve on Aave’s server, with a brittle API governing access to the pool’s state and its updates. I want the ability to learn the state of the pool by looking at the chain, and the ability to act upon that state unmediated by sending a transaction that I know will be included given ethereum’s peerless censorship-resistance and that I know will execute given ethereum’s 100% uptime. This still leaves room for a lot of presettlement infra stitching things together, but it’s much stronger than ethereum being a “simple” checkpoint for what’s happening outside of a limited view of the world state. Composability is the superpower of blockchains, and the more granular and accessible state is onchain, the more permissionless it becomes to compose and innovate. The vision of ethlabs as I’d put it is to have the best state for the L1 as liquidity hub and the most secure place to hold and mint assets from, with L2s spawning differentiated state neighbourhoods that both leverage and reinforce L1’s, bringing new users, more liquidity and growing the onchain economy by eating the offchain one. That’s what we mean when we say ethereum becoming the root of the global economy. For this we need scale, speed and security. We’ll be pushing hard on those!

My agents should be able to do anything I can on a computer or a phone ( and I should be held accountable for their behavior).

Why should asset issuers create a liquidity pool on Uniswap? "It's kind of like being listed on every exchange on earth at once"

Listing your products on Slice today is the biggest opportunity since AI. Do with that what you will.

For crypto founders, the biggest lesson from @fomo and @Pumpfun ascendance is that the distribution model of the last 5 years for apps is moot. Web3 is dead, wallet connect is dead, dApps are dead. The new plan is vertically integrated mobile: hide the crypto mechanics entirely. Single balance across chains, integrated onramp (Apple Pay is king), no bridges, no seed phrases or private keys (sign in with Google or X). For wallet apps themselves, this presents an existential crisis. The user demands simplicity & the feeling of safety. In the past, your wallet was a gateway to crypto. Now, I hold a deposit in each app I use and I don't yet care if they talk to each other. As always, we go through bundling and unbundling cycles. If Phantom and Jupiter and Metamask were bundling, we are now seeing a great unbundling.
