@BlokeMan00 Gravity and gravitational time dilation can in a similar context to this and Andrei Sakharov's emergent gravity, also be seen as a gradient in the energy density of the free resonant energy surrounding mass.

@cruthaifios @deeptechweek @DrSonnyWhite @M31Capital It still applies, but only within closed systems. Using the second law of thermodynamics to model our universe as a closed system is a postulate — and very likely a flawed one. Most indications, including the very fact of its existence, suggest that it is not.

@DrSonnyWhite Congratulations! I’ve followed this field for years and remain amazed it doesn’t receive more attention. The implications are profound—well beyond energy and propulsion. The ability to modulate fields around casimir cavities could open a whole new range of applications.

[Knut Vinger 🪙🕸️ @KnutVinger]

@Cortex_Zero @MikeyDiMercurio The assumptions about how the second law of thermodynamics can be applied to our universe is much more questionable than the law itself. It boils down to if the universe is an open or closed system. Until that is known, 2LTD as an argument against ZPE extraction is void.

[Knut Vinger 🪙🕸️ @KnutVinger]

@MWhittte @CoinwebOfficial Yes, this is indeed true.

Cross-chain trading shouldn’t feel risky or complicated. Most systems rely on bridges or wrapped tokens, and that introduces trust assumptions and unnecessary steps.

@Pact_Swap takes a different approach by enabling native asset swaps across chains with execution enforced through collateral and on-chain logic. The protocol handles the complexity behind the scenes so the user experience stays simple and familiar.

Been watching the situation around NEAR Intents closely.

They gained a lot of volume by undercutting THORChain on price, but now they seem to be running into the same issue many intent-based solutions eventually face. If the model doesn’t earn enough to support the business case, fees eventually have to rise.

And once fees rise, the volume that was driven by “being the cheapest” starts to look a lot less stable.

It’s also worth noting that the only real liquidity provider on NEAR Intents has been themselves (correct me if I am wrong). That makes undercutting easier in the short term, but much harder to sustain once fees need adjusting.

Still, it’s impressive how fast NEAR Intents captured market share simply by offering better rates. It shows how powerful price really is in this space. But it also highlights the limitation of models that rely on keeping fees artificially low to stay competitive.

It will be interesting to track how much their fees increase from here.

This is exactly why I am so bullish on Pact Swap.

Because it is built on Coinweb’s infrastructure, the base cost of running a cross chain swap is basically nothing. More or less the cost of issuing a smart contract on Coinweb and executing a few L2 transactions.

That means margins remain high even when fees are the lowest in the market.

You don’t need to raise fees to stay alive. You don’t need to rely on huge spreads or MEV. You can simply offer the best price, sustainably.

Seeing NEAR succeed by being cheaper validates the entire thesis. Price wins. Now imagine that same playbook with real margins, real sustainability, no extra validator sets, no hidden costs.

The future looks 🔥 for @Pact_Swap and @CoinwebOfficial.

Hehe! I thought there was something familiar with that figure there, but I did not immediately see what it was😄

[Coinweb.io @CoinwebOfficial]

Let’s talk about interoperability - and why bragging about TVL in bridges might actually be a red flag 🚩.

In traditional DeFi, TVL is often used as a success metric. The more money a protocol holds, the more traction it supposedly has.

BUT... when it comes to interoperability - connecting different blockchains - that logic starts to fall apart.

Why?

Because the way most interoperability protocols work today is by replicating consensus. They build entirely new systems of validators to “watch” what’s happening on different blockchains, agree on it, and move tokens across.

To keep these systems secure, they have to lock up huge amounts of capital - sometimes more than 100x the value of what’s actually being transferred.

This means two things:

1. They're expensive 💸
Many bridges spend millions of dollars per month just to pay validators to maintain their security models. That’s money going into infrastructure that shouldn’t be needed in the first place.

2. They're risky 🥷
The more money you lock up in one place, the more attractive it becomes to hackers. In 2022 alone, bridge hacks accounted for the vast majority of crypto exploits - over $2B stolen. These systems create a single point of failure in an ecosystem that’s supposed to be decentralized.

So when a project brags about high TVL in their bridge, what they’re really saying is:

“Look how much capital we have at risk just to keep this thing working.”

Now imagine a different approach.

What if we didn’t need extra consensus layers?

What if we could move information and value across chains without locking up funds or paying a validator army to maintain trust?

That’s where $CWEB comes in.

Coinweb uses deterministic logic instead of trust-based consensus. It doesn’t need to “agree” on what happened - it proves it using data that’s already public and final on the connected blockchains.

Instead of copying consensus, Coinweb reacts to what’s already confirmed. No oracles, no bridges, no duplicated validation.

This model is cheaper, safer, and far more scalable.

So next time someone flexes their TVL in a cross-chain protocol, ask them:

“Why does your system need that much capital just to function?”

Because in a truly efficient design, security doesn’t have to be expensive. It just has to be smart.

Do you agree?

P.S. Thank you
for watching over us and teaching us these things.

Maximalists will hate this:

The future isn’t monolithic.

It’s modular. It’s multi-chain. It’s interoperable.

Apps will live across chains.

Users won’t even notice.

That’s true decentralization.
