🚨 Genomics is on the edge of a revolution.

Rare diseases, cancer therapies, personalized medicine; all powered by AI. 🧬

But there’s a hidden bottleneck that few are talking about: compute scarcity. 🧵👇

Microsoft has a very special place in my heart.

I got my offer while studying Computer Science in college—a moment that quietly reshaped the trajectory of my life.

I spent 11 incredible years there, learning, building, and growing alongside some of the brightest minds.

Happy 50th anniversary, @Microsoft! 🎂

Forever grateful. 🙏🏻❤️

Spending on AI datacenters is going vertical. And as AI costs drop, we can afford to automate harder tasks, which means even more consumption. AI Agents are the perfect example of this, where there’s no upper limit on what we’d apply them to as they get cheaper.

DeepSeek news is making waves in AI. Some say it’s a game-changer. Others call it AI’s Sputnik moment. But let’s take a step back—what does this really mean for compute? Here’s our take. 🧵👇

I spent a nice weekend with this book. If you are curious about the mathematical beauty behind the models that you use everyday, this book is going to keep your mind entertained. ❤️

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

After I started reading this book today, I lost six games in a row. Whats happening?? 😂

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

@MagnusCarlsen Congrats! 🍾

The future of technology, culture, and society is being written in code.

The choices developers make, the ecosystems they build on, and the innovations they deliver will shape how we connect, create, and thrive in a decentralized world.

In 2024, Solana became the #1 ecosystem for new developers, attracting 7,625 builders, while Ethereum followed closely with 6,456.

This speaks volumes: Solana’s scalability, low fees, and developer-friendly tooling are drawing fresh talent. But Ethereum’s ecosystem remains unmatched in depth and opportunities.

Web3 is no longer about one chain—it’s a vibrant, competitive, and multi-chain future, with developers choosing ecosystems based on their unique strengths. 🚀

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

Base is dominating in 2024. 🚀

The most popular chain for EVM multi-chain deployers as both the first and second destination.

<10% of Base deployers share code with other chains, showing strong developer retention.

25% of code innovation across major EVM chains happens on Base—the highest among all chains.

It’s no surprise that Base is on our radar at Kinesis Network. 👀 @Kinesis_Network

39,148 new developers joined crypto in 2024.

Even in a challenging macro environment, developers are exploring crypto at a remarkable pace. Why?

Web3 remains a frontier for innovation.

The rise of AI and decentralized technologies is pulling talent into crypto.

Builders know where the future is being built. 🚀

The top 5 countries for crypto developers in 2024:

🇺🇸 US (18.7%)
🇮🇳 India (11.7%)
🇬🇧 United Kingdom (4.2%)
🇨🇳 China (4.0%)
🇨🇦 Canada (3.8%)

India’s rise is remarkable—it jumped from #10 in 2015 (1%) to #2 in 2024 (12%), solidifying its place as a global hub for Web3 innovation. 🚀

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

I finished reading the 2024 Crypto Developer Report by @ElectricCapital, and wow—so many fascinating insights about the builders shaping Web3 space. 🛠️

Here are my biggest takeaways from the report 👇

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

Ethereum is the #1 ecosystem globally, but the Web3 world is expanding fast. 🌍

Chains like Solana, Polygon, and ICP are growing developer bases across continents, proving that the future isn’t just Ethereum—it’s multi-chain.

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

It wasn’t just the White House. Pro-crypto candidates made big gains in Congress too.

263 pro-crypto officials were elected to the House.

18 pro-crypto Senators joined the upper chamber.

The message? Crypto is a winning issue for candidates.

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

The 2024 elections marked a big win for crypto advocates. 🇺🇸

Trump campaigned on making the U.S. a global hub for crypto. He pledged to build a "strategic national Bitcoin reserve" and support innovation-friendly policies.

Pro-crypto leadership starts at the top. 🚀

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

The U.S. crypto developer share has dropped from 38% in 2015 to just 19% in 2024—a decline driven by years of regulatory uncertainty and hostility.

But with the 2024 elections bringing a wave of pro-crypto leadership, the tide might be turning. Here’s what’s happening 👇

[Hamza Ak 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @HamzaAk_en]

Crypto is truly global 🌍

In 2015, 81% of crypto developers were in North America & Europe. By 2024, this dropped to 55%, with massive growth in Asia, South America, and Africa.

Asia is now the #1 continent by developer share (32%).

India onboarded the most new crypto developers in 2024.

The ecosystem is diversifying like never before! 💪
