The first real consensus mechanism that society created is the social contract. It's enforcement mechanism? The legal system. Everything else is built within (including blocks, chains and NFTs).

Absolutely not true. I am the former SVP of legal and people at Bolt and I left on my own @Polymarket
JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”

Congratulations @abbasali and the rest of the team!
JUST ANNOUNCED: JPMorgan Product Head Joins GSR Trading MD to Build Institutional Staking Markets “It’s only a matter of time before asset managers are benchmarked against indices like CESR, the Composite Ethereum Staking Rate, and we intend to provide the market infrastructure that enables this," said Abbas Ali and Ruchir Gupta, Co-Founders of @GyldFinance. CESR, by @coinfund, in collaboration with @CoinDesk Indices, is a daily benchmark rate that represents the mean, annualized staking yield of the Ethereum validator population.

The Tornado Cash verdict could reshape DeFi’s future, especially for privacy-focused developers. @JonaJaupi in @defiantnews explains why: thedefiant.io/news/regulatio… I told The Defiant the ruling exposes a gap between how decentralized software is seen and how it works. Bridging that gap is critical for innovation. 💡 #Axelar #DeFi

"You could have a stablecoin of an issuer on some other chain that you bridged it to. Unless you can actually redeem it there, you have to question, what's the actual value of that stablecoin? Because I don't think it's a dollar." 🤔

Decentralized blockchains are no longer a crypto experiment. They’re becoming institutional infrastructure. At Point Zero Forum @axelar nailed it: - Banks are outsourcing to public L1s - Regulation is adapting - Interoperability is the new compliance The shift is happening and it’s unstoppable. Axelar is ahead of the curve. This is why I'm bullish on $AXL

Axelar has a unique perspective on why institutions are moving to tap into public blockchains—on display at @pointzeroforum 🔗👇 "These back-office systems at 10 disparate banks have become redundant, because they can outsource a lot of that to public infrastructure."

Institutions need to balance their objectives with the features of decentralized blockchain networks - interoperability is key to advancing this work. Great to see the cutting edge work @DeutscheBank and @Memento_Bc are doing and the role that @axelar is playing in distribution.

Why decentralization matters, if you’re in the blockchain space? Let's remind ourselves... Decentralized infrastructure, not marketing, governance theater, or selective openness, gives blockchain its true power. Without it, a blockchain becomes just another fragile empire waiting to fall. Without decentralization, the essence of blockchain, distributed trust, is compromised. 1/4

👏 Great point by @awrigh01 about the core use case for decentralized blockchains - namely, that two people, on two opposite sides of the planet, can agree on a set of data without an intermediary. @axelar provides this exact benefit at the interoperability layer.
Wikipedia proved we could crowdsource knowledge. Bitcoin proved we could crowdsource money/assets. Ethereum proved that if we add programmable logic to a global shared state, we can transform how humans coordinate. @tributelabsxyz co-founder and CEO @awrigh01 on those early days:
