Now that everyone knows me as the psycho who hates his competitors, I’ll ask for advice on a topic I’ve been thinking about for a while:
How do you drag the entire payments industry into a competition where the survivor is the one who can endure the most mental and physical pain?
The runner Steve Prefontaine once said: “I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it.”
Help me figure out how to make payments a pure guts race, because I’ll take more pain than anyone else and will keep building Polygon so it’s true as an org too. We’ll win and global money movement will happen on Polygon.

The claim that netting offchain flows can replace the need for stablecoins at global scale is total crap.
It sounds efficient given that instead of settling every payment, you can offset flows, then settle only the net amount.
The problem is that global money movement is a multi-factor mess with 10s of millions of potential permutations on flows. Different times. Different currencies. Different rails. Different counterparties. Different liquidity. Different compliance. Different settlement conditions. There are many more. All to be considered alongside cutoffs, holidays, time zones, prefunding, balance-sheet limits, reconciliation, and the need to deliver funds to specific recipients. The number of permutations becomes enormous.
By the time you partition the flows into nettable groups, you have recreated a complicated network of accounts, liquidity buffers, controls, and exceptions. Some of that nets out. A lot doesn’t.
Stablecoins provide direct, programmable settlement. They move across borders when banks are closed, without waiting for the other side of the ledger to line up perfectly. Currently, they actually increase the permutations referenced above. But it’s done with much greater efficiency. When more money is onchain, stablecoins will reduce the permutations drastically.
Choosing between stablecoins and netting offchain money doesn’t make sense. Stablecoins improve money movement. So use them.
Just f*cking do it.
Do it mad. Do it to the point of insanity. Do it with limited time. Do it with 3 kids. Do it at 80. Do it with sickness. Just fcking do it.
The world doesn't care about your potential. It only cares what you did.
Do it scared. Do it unprepared. Do it at 3 AM in bed. Do it while no one is watching. Do it while everyone is watching and calling you an idiot.
Algorithms make you stupid. Gatekeepers take all the profit. TV numbs your mind. Inaction is the kiss of death. You either do it and make memories, or die with fantasies that never came true.
Just f*cking do it. Do it without enough money. Do it on an 8 year old MacBook. Do it from your parent's basement. Do it while working a minimum wage job. Do it while everyone calls you a loser.
The competition has no idea what they're doing and they're lazy as f*ck. Do it for yourself. Do it for everyone who ever supported you.
99% of people do nothing with their life. You're different.
Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. Thats for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
I no longer believe in the idea of hundreds of economically relevant chains.
I’ve changed my mind on this quite a lot over the last year. My current bet is that the blockchain endgame is probably 15-20 chains that actually matter. Maybe even fewer.
Some general-purpose, some specialized. And as individual chains move toward hundreds of thousands of TPS, that may be more than enough blockspace for most real-world use cases.
This is also why I’m increasingly skeptical of the L2 thesis, and especially L2 tokens, as it’s playing out across the Ethereum ecosystem.
Sure, we’ll see corporate chains, private networks and custom infrastructure. But having a chain doesn’t automatically create economic value, and definitely doesn’t mean it needs a token. For most companies, using established chains, smart contracts, stablecoins, privacy infrastructure and other existing rails will simply make more sense.
The original idea of public blockchains was shared, neutral infrastructure without trusted third parties. Hundreds of chains, sequencers, bridges and tokens increasingly feels like rebuilding the complexity we were supposed to remove.
And this is where Polygon gets interesting to me again.
Polygon spent years going deep into ZK, L2s, CDK, AggLayer and the whole “internet of blockchains” vision. A lot of time and money was lost. Some bets clearly didn’t work.
So what?
Those mistakes don’t erase what Polygon already has.
Over the last ~1.5 years I’ve watched the center of gravity move back to Polygon itself: a fast, full-fledged L1, home of Polymarket, with POL as its economic token, and payments + high-throughput apps as the first major specialization.
And “first” matters. Win a huge vertical, build distribution and economics around it, then expand.
That’s a big part of why I believe Polygon can make a real comeback and become one of those 15-20 chains that actually matter.
As for AggLayer, I don’t know. Maybe the original vision takes off, maybe it doesn’t. Maybe it simply becomes Polygon’s interoperability layer to the outside world. And maybe that’s enough.
Probably my last tweet before vacation. Going offline for a week or two and hopefully staying away from CT 🫡
We are excited to announce four updates regarding the Ethena ecosystem, further details on each point are provided in the blog linked below:
1. Buyout of early investors:
The Ethena Foundation executed a buyout of all locked tokens from certain major seed investors that sold any ENA within the last 9 months.
2. Alignment of Token & Equity:
The Ethena Foundation and Ethena Labs have reached agreement on a Master Framework Agreement, whereby IP and ownership of value accrued by the protocol is assigned to the Foundation exclusively and governed by token holders with no residual cash flow due to equity investors in the Labs entity.
3. Revenue Buybacks:
Governance proposal now live for the implementation of the fee switch whereby net revenue accrued across all business lines under the Ethena brand will be used to programmatically buy back the ENA token.
The vote for revenue buyback fee switch implementation is now here, and has already been approved by the Risk Committee:

4. Removal of monthly VC unlocks:
The Ethena Foundation and lead investors have agreed to eliminate future overhang associated with monthly VC investor unlocks by releasing unvested tokens. All team tokens remain locked per the original vesting schedules.
