"So we took a step back and said, what do we actually want if we’re building a blockchain? People have said for years that the thing that's important is decentralization. We think that what you want is what decentralization gets you, which is censorship resistance and verifiability. And so we went with a rollup-focused architecture because rollups let you have some of the best things about decentralization. You can get censorship resistance and you can get verifiability. But then [you] also [get] some of the best pieces of centralization where you can have some weakly trusted server that sits between you and the rollup. Then you don't have to download hundreds of gigabytes of random full-node data to interact with the thing. And you can get real Web2-like latencies." @prestonevans__

“IP is such a boomer term, but it is right way to do your creator fee attribution.”

"I've hit bankruptcy multiple times." - @brainrotmanager of @ipdotworld "That's why I'm trying to translate that energy into building." "We're very specific about the types of IPs that we want to bring on board to begin with." "We do not want to condone any sort of PVP." "What we will have coming very soon is a liquidity migration program."

"When you think about what you can really do with a general purpose prover that can create proofs locally, the sky's the limit." - @MayaDotan_ of @StarkWareLtd

IP World founder addresses the legitimacy issues between creators and memecoin deployers. "99% of token deployers ultimately rug because they're playing pump and dump with viral content."

We asked @MiguelMorel how visual mapping changed the way people understand blockchain data. "I think we pioneered the new era of data analytics for blockchain where we introduced this idea of being able to search for activity." "With @arkham, I can just start with a name or with a token and slowly unravel all of the information." "We made it significantly more user friendly, more accessible, and way more free for people to be able to actually understand what's going on on chain."

2013 crypto OG explains why stablecoins changed portfolio strategies. "If you're not going to outperform Bitcoin with a trade or long-term play, you should just be buying Bitcoin or splitting half into Bitcoin, half into the venture"

Starkware product manager explains The ZK Proving Race's impact. "It's a good thing there's a driving force for this competition. We're getting close to proofs on mobile devices and consumer laptops"

We talked to @notsofast about the 2016 crypto landscape compared to today. "The tide of legitimacy was so much lower then." "It looked like throughout 2015 Bitcoin would just be between $200 and $300 until it died forever." "Ethereum took a lot of people's Bitcoin." "The survival of everything, Bitcoin and everything worse than it, was not guaranteed." "Institutions buying Bitcoin and Ethereum and even Litecoin is crazy to me."
