This is really what the RWA <> onchain crossover is about…
the RWA thesis lives in velocity: tokenized MMFs as collateral, intraday liquidity, programmatic redemptions, vaults.

Canada really does have a moment here.

Tooling is definitely coming to better adopt agentic workflows in orgs, as is more inference independence… … but in early-stage venture when speed and responsiveness matters most, if you have to wait for that tooling, you’re at a structural disadvantage.

Fully expect this, and they are already telegraphing it. The level of public backlash is what they are negotiating with, and are gathering two weeks of usage and trial balloon data up to their June 22 date.

Obviously this is way worse than API overall. However, explicitly nerfing subscriptions leads to huge public backlash, and the rapidly falling cost of intelligence means you'll be able to profitably serve Opus 4.8 level models for $20/month in the near future. We therefore think it's far more likely the labs will withhold new features/models from subscription plans. It will be interesting to see if Mythos ends up being API only. (4/4)

Intelligent task decomposition and routing to the appropriate models is going to ramp up quickly. Fable speedran credits on major research and feature builds… … one of which reactivated automated workflows that cost over $100 a couple months ago down to pennies.

Imagine. Crypto. Finance but better. For years crypto had to conform to a stunted subset of capabilities. That script is flipping.
If you’re building for tokenized securities, you need to read this: > With an onchain geofence in place, sophisticated issuers could actually issue securities onchain without the whitelist model

Exactly. There are so many layers that one needs to build on top of inference to get the enterprise-grade collaboration/coordination surface, including governance and provenance, right.
AI writes 61% of the average enterprise codebase. 81% of leaders say it's causing more production incidents, not fewer. Governance is now the hard part. Software Factory's new Requirements Drift Detection flags code that's drifted from the spec. We'd love your feedback. 8090.ai

And there’s so much fun you can have with fully backed tokens - the backing makes them safe to play with and create new market based experiences. Everything is market. Markets are fun.
Vitalik’s post is closely related to our research and a useful validation for floor-backed tokens. Shared thesis: liquidation-based DeFi is fragile because solvency relies on volatile spot prices and real-time oracles. Floors can/will take a different path: split each fToken into an endogenous, oracle-free floor note and a premium warrant.

Also, yep…
what's happening with trading cards is a great reminder that liquidity begets liquidity nfts won't make a come back without deep, active markets right now you can buy pretty much any trading card (pokemon or sports) and flip it there's a buyer for anything at all price levels

SCARCE ASSET SUPERCYCLE notboring.co/p/scarce-assets

scarce assets that become ever more vital in an era of abundance are becoming an increasingly fascinating investment class, led by investors that understand stewardship
Today we announce Thrive Eternal, a permanent capital holding company that will be concentrated in a small number of assets that we can own and steward over many decades. Across Thrive Capital and Thrive Holdings, we are building and investing through a moment of exponential change; backing emerging technologies, the infrastructure that powers them, and the businesses they can transform. Increasingly, we see a fourth category. These are assets with qualities that cannot be replicated by technology. Iconic franchises and cultural institutions rooted in tradition, identity, and shared experience. In a world shaped by abundant intelligence where creation scales and distribution fragments, we believe they will matter even more. Thrive Eternal is built on the belief that the most enduring of these assets share common characteristics: they benefit from long-term stewardship, they compound through cultural resonance, and they are enhanced by technology rather than displaced by it. Our work at Thrive has always been informed and inspired by a deep appreciation for product, brand, and the ways in which consumers form lasting relationships with the things they love. We have been building towards this for a long time. Our first partnership is expected to be with the San Francisco Giants - an institution built on more than a century of shared identity and community, and among the most iconic sports franchises in America. We have reached an agreement, subject to league approval, to acquire an ownership stake. We feel privileged by the opportunity to be long-term partners to the Giants.

Show vs tell is getting easier than ever. In crypto though, smart contracts are still the constraint as new contracts with any novelty are gated by risk, hardening, and audits, and most existing contracts have very specific or limited uses because of that constraint. Unless…

A product is the thing you use to solve your problem or get a job done. People use products. Products thus serve those people. Not all people. Just the people with the specific problem the product aims to solve. The best products focus. If you have a loose screw, you reach for a screwdriver. Not a hammer. Not a penny. Not a multitool. A fucking screwdriver. A platform is a foundation for products. It's the technology, the infrastructure, the tooling, the resources. Eventually it is the ecosystem of people and APIs and libraries and other products and network effects. People do not use the platform. People build products on the platform. They build products that serve their users. The platform is the foundation. It is not the product. The best platforms are ones where every builder can build whatever they want without any blockers. You don't need approval. You know your users and their needs and you solve their problems. The platform unlocks and enables you to do that better, cheaper, more easily. If the platform does not allow you to create more value with the platform than without it then you don't use the platform. It's very simple. See: Base v OP Stack. The second-worst platform is a product that calls itself a platform. That non-platform end ups not empowering anyone while also not bothering to solving any problems or serving any user needs. It's bad, but mostly harmless (unless you are an employee there lol) No, the absolute worst platform is one that is actually a platform that actually has products built on it but suddenly fancies itself a product. If you are building on a platform that shifts to serve end-user directly, you should RUN THE FUCK AWAY. Their mission is no longer to empower anyone to build anything. It's to deliver their own products and solve their own user's needs. They will happily ignore/deprioritize/rug every other competing product. As they should. You cannot build a great product while building someone else's product at the same time. You cannot build a great platform if you are building a solution to a specific problem and specific user need. The EF is not building a product.

Large treasuries and sophisticated actors will gravitate to assets that give them more utility and composability. It will take time for many to understand, but agents and agent managed treasuries will shorten that loop.

This has been an incredible journey and collab with @demirelo @xTiagoSantana and the @inverternetwork crew (h/t to @jeffemmett on bringing us all together). If you like what's here, you'll like what's coming. Good primitives unlock entirely new design spaces.
[1/6] We just published a paper. The core result: protocol-triggered liquidation in DeFi lending is not inevitable. It is a design choice. This paper, co-authored with @Lewwwk and @xTiagoSantana, is the research foundation behind @FloorsFinance. A short thread.

people naturally think of clawds as human-like entities... and our future lives being a cohabitation of people and people like agents it gets more interesting though when you decompose agents into configurations of context, capabilities, and inference... also more nature-like

Just the beginning…
I'm proud of my @FloorsFinance team, who successfully adopted and leveraged AI tools, enabling us to be ~60x more cost-efficient while shipping 4x faster.

QuillAudits has started a comprehensive smart contract audit for @FloorsFinance🛡️ Floors brings tokens with rising floor prices, always-on liquidity, and credit lines that can never be liquidated - turning market activity into durable onchain backing. Our team will be reviewing the core Solidity token logic, permissions and key mechanisms to ensure robustness as the protocol scales. Security first. Built for builders.

One more application of bonding-curve-based primary AMMs. This is close to the same primitive we're building around at @FloorsFinance, just pointed at a different goal: using the primary curve to enforce redeemability (a floor) and to make credit depend on that floor instead of spot price. (ps. @hosseeb et al are again one step ahead of the curve)

4/You're not locking in a bet and waiting for $1 or $0. You're trading the token before the event ends. ✦ ride consensus as it forms ✧ fade it when outcome is too crowded ✦ reposition as news hits Price path is tradable. Resolution just closes the loop.
