US Govt:
Knowledge must remain asymmetrical. Your access to power and information must be limited. You cannot be trusted.

when did everyone everywhere get so pessimistic about everything
we live in a literal golden era. sci-fi esque intelligent machines, miracle drugs, self-driving cars, spaceflight, new monetary systems, robotics, quantum computing
this shit is awesome

When we stop looking at $ETH as a personal investment and start recognizing that the asset value exists solely to secure the network, with the goal of fees replacing issuance, we begin to see how valuable ETHereum actually is, and price is < important.
Don’t lose sight of that.

The Ethereum ecosystem is lucky to have Friederike, Martin, Stefan and the entire Gnosis team on its side.
The products they built are really useful and have pushed the space forward. But what stands out most is how they handled themselves under pressure these past years. Owning problems fast, in public and standing behind their users every time. Today was no exception.
Not sure what to say in moments like this except: thank you. Keep being awesome.

The greatest security for crypto assets is finely scoped fungibility.
Valuable for those who use it, valueless for those who don’t. Utility guarantees value, but caps the ceiling. Perfect for protocols.
I wonder what Web3 would look like if we weren’t liquiditymaxxing 24/7.

everyone building the same thing. the government stack of the future replaces forms with prompts, and bundles the admin lifecycle (route, verify, deliver, report, etc.)
but who’s gonna figure out coordination?
who’s building the sync engines of the civic future?
@city_sync_
everybody's building the same thing. the IDE of the future replaces code with prompts, file viewer with thread viewer, and turbo bundles the building lifecycles (plan, design, build, deploy, monitor, fix, etc.)
but who's gonna figure out collaboration? do you make every component real-time multiplayer? bullish sync engines.
who's building the sync engines of the agentic future? cf durable objects, partykit, zero etc.

Digital Identity is key to a lot of really promising functionality in the digital world, but also the source of a lot of dystopian control.
Is there a solution that doesn't involve capturing eyeballs or prints that can provide the same guarantees?

For those of you who are interested, you can now keep up with @city_sync_ progress as we begin to enter the pilot phase through our new @karmahq_ profile!

@city_sync_ — The City/Sync organizations is responsible for developing, educating, and researching the effective implementation of decentralized public administration frameworks in different cities around the world.
We believe that decentralized public administration is the key to bringing power back to the hands of citizens by giving them the tools to become self-reliant. karmahq.xyz/project/citysync

@city_sync_ kept the City/Sync push moving: Version 1.0 of the web app is nearly ready, pilot cities are lining up in Mexico City and Berkeley, and the project made the top 300 in QBE AcceliCITY. karmahq.xyz/project/citysync

Sometimes, when operating in the field of emerging technology, you run into regulations and policies that limit our imagination toward something better.
When it comes to coordination, the laws around volunteers and incentives need to be challenged.

CT can’t have real conversations anymore. Every design is judged against a list of cypherpunk purity tests, instead of the actual use-case it’s trying to serve.
Different contexts require different tradeoffs but we’d rather argue ideology than build things people actually need.

Let me be clear what I am saying and not saying:
I am NOT saying: let's forcibly shut down protocols (we can't), or let's only use the largest ones, or that teams shouldn't build new protocols.
I AM saying: there are a lot of zombie protocols out there with basically the front doors unlocked and no one inside anymore. These are like blighted homes and we need to get rid of them, or the whole neighborhood will suffer.
The way we change that is by CHANGING THE NORMS around shutdowns and giving these founders a graceful way to exit. Right now there is no playbook on how to wind down a DeFi protocol, and we need to make one, ASAP.

Governments will integrate with AI, and probably sooner than you think.
The use of AI to untangle our legal and regulatory policies is first. Getting rid of redundant or overlapping policies will free government to do more. Second, the chatbox will replace our agencies. Paperwork will be automatically provided to you through adaptable forms. All of this increases the frequency of communication between citizens and government, placing more pressure on governments to execute.
Governments will need to make a choice in how they handle Public Administration. In order to respond to these new efficiencies, they will need to either centralize more tightly, or they will need to decentralize and invite the public-sector to do more. This is where @city_sync_ becomes beneficial.

Facts.

A fresh account coming out of nowhere and being able to borrow decent chunks of a billion dollars is objectively insane.
Circuit breaker type mechanisms, are basic logic and obviously programmable at the smart contract level. This is the kind of stuff that DeFi should excel at tbh.
Composability is a super power, but it shouldn’t necessarily expose an entire protocol’s TVL to random accounts.
It also doesn’t even mean that borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars quickly shouldn’t be possible. It just needs to only be done under certain conditions.
You wouldn’t even need IRL identity for this, you just need time based bonding curve like easing mechanisms and potentially account level trust scores to evolve in protocol.
DeFi is still wide open IMO. Protocols that consider the attack vectors we’ve see over the years and bake in mitigations to them could still take the monopoly position in the future.

I hope everyone realizes we are watching the rebalancing of global cybersecurity in real-time.
Hacks on hacks on hacks. AI is the culprit and the new defense.
Stay safe.

Blockchain financialization consumes 99% of our focus but serves only a very small area of fundamental use-cases.
Blockchain coordination consumes 5% of our focus and contains an infinite design space.
We can literally transform every system/government/infrastructure on the planet.
What are you focused on?

Building on Base? Make sure you take advantage of the security offerings to strengthen any protocol or app. We offer multiple benefits:
1. Free security reviews from our Protocol Security team
2. Smart contract monitoring by @chainalysis
3. 10 discounts for audits

What if cities had digital public infrastructure for coordinating civic participation across institutions and programs?
City/Sync is taking the first step toward implementing a decentralized framework for Public Administration.
