@UxGsol happy birthday mate 😇

[Alex @alexonthebloc]

interesting comparison - what stands out to me is that all three are solving different layers of the same problem
as ecosystems grow, the real challenge isn't just moving assets, but aligning execution, security assumptions, and liquidity across completely different environments.
the question going forward isn’t which protocol wins - it’s which model becomes the default coordination layer for the next generation of apps

zPass, Zeru’s reputation passports, are open for mint starting 17:00 UTC on US Thanksgiving, 27 November 2025 🦃

Phase 1 Mint is only open for 42 hours at https://t.co/IJcuDU44jd for 4.20 USDC on @Base. Phases 2 and 3 will see price increases.

Zeru has created a universal reputation layer that serves as a user’s gateway to the onchain economy based on their onchain behavior, verified by the zScore AVS & backed by $2.5B of economic security on EigenCloud. This reputation is called zScore.

You claim your zScore by minting zPass, and holding a zPass gives you access to private yields, boosted rewards, NFT whitelists, launchpad participation and a host of new and exclusive privileges in the onchain economy!

zScore can already be seen on wallets' Etherscan Cards, freely accessible, verifiable via Merkle proofs, and natively published to Base.

For Base builders, this means you can check a wallet's zScore via API call, then apply campaigns and incentives directly to your target user base. No more guessing who will deposit, stake, trade, etc.

For Base users, you can finally be rewarded by existing or new protocols for being a positive DeFi user, long-term NFT holder, consistent DAO contributor/governor, and more. Find the apps that care about your onchain reputation, and are prepared to reward you in-kind.

For B2B use cases, it's now easier to find and attract sticky liquidity, get access to high intent users, and deploy curated campaigns, all while protecting user privacy at all times.

Referring others = 1 USDC for each referred mint, with uncapped potential! Get in now to avoid price increases next year.

Onchain reputation has been a long time coming, and Zeru is bringing all parties together through zPass so that we can all grow together. Mint now, enjoy for a lifetime.

“Geniuses only.”

Nivi: To me, the missing ingredient in most people’s recruiting is intolerance. You should really just treat every employee in the company, including yourself, as an enemy agent that’s trying to destroy the company by bringing mediocre talent into the business. It’s unfortunately just the nature of human nature.

Naval: My co-founder and I have a new criterion in our company: “Geniuses only.”

It’s a harsh word, but it sets a very high bar. You can just look around for who’s not a genius. The only way you’re going to attract geniuses—whatever that term means to you—is by having a company full of geniuses.

And if someone’s not a genius, then either you’re transitioning into the phase where you can no longer hire geniuses and you just need to scale up for whatever reason, or you can just show that person the door because you hired them prematurely for the kind of company you’re trying to build.

Now, this is very difficult.

You’re lucky if you can hire one genius a month. You as a founder have to identify them and do whatever it takes to recruit them and motivate them. So it’s inherently self-limiting. Given that a person probably isn’t going to stick around your company for more than three, four, five years—although in some great companies, people stick around for decades—at that attrition rate you’re talking about a 30 to 50 person company.

But if you can even assemble a team of 10 geniuses, you’re way ahead of everybody else. At most companies—the successful ones—the founders, and maybe a few early people are at the genius level. But in the urge and the rush to scale, that gets drowned out too quickly.
