I am creeping closer and closer to going full Ham into ethereum:native
Nobody wants to talk about crypto right now
Sentiment is in the gutter
Oversold across all metrics
X hates it
I’m getting excited
Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH
Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy.
The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure.
Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation.
What we believe:
• We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person.
• We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum.
• We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone.
• We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them.
We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products.
Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future.
We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development.
We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong.
We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]
This is just the modern day version of “steady lads” IMO
They are gonna be forced to KYC and 80% of volume is gonna flee to the next unregulated derivatives exchange. Every cycle in crypto had one, HL is just the latest. Bitmex, FTX, Binance, Bybit, the list goes on, all got KYC
GOOD MORNING BULLS
Haven’t felt this good about the market in a long, long time.
The world has given up on crypto over the last year watching other assets outperform it - claiming the experiment is over.
Even with the recent bounce, they’re still grave dancing.
We’re about to witness the greatest comeback story leading into the most insane bull run of our generation.
You’re still early.
Be more bullish.
People without children often hear this line as judgment. It is not. It is simply truth, said softly.
You can live a full life without a child. You can travel, build, earn, heal, and enjoy freedom. All of that is real. But there is a dimension you will never touch until you become responsible for a life that exists because of you.
A child changes the axis of time.
Suddenly, the future is not abstract. It has a face, a voice, and tiny hands holding your finger.
You learn a kind of love that is not romantic, not transactional, not conditional. A love that shows up even when you are tired, broke, scared, or failing. A love that humbles you daily and strengthens you quietly.
You start measuring success differently.
Not by applause. Not by money.
But by whether you are becoming someone your child can feel safe with and proud of.
Children force growth. They expose your impatience, your selfishness, your unresolved wounds. And then they give you a reason to fix them. Not tomorrow. Today.
Legacy stops being a word and becomes a responsibility.
You realize you are not just living your life.
You are shaping a human who will walk the world long after you are gone.
People without children are not missing happiness.
They are missing this specific depth of meaning.
And you do not know it is missing
until it arrives.
Ethereum is for AI.
ERC-8004, a new standard by the @ethereumfndn dAI Team, @MetaMask, @Google, @Coinbase, and others, provides a blueprint for how AI agents find and review each other, request and pay for jobs, and verify the work done.
What builders need to know.
French police is currently raiding X’s office in Paris. France is the only country in the world that is criminally persecuting all social networks that give people some degree of freedom (Telegram, X, TikTok…). Don’t be mistaken: this is not a free country.
