My boss said dress for job you want not the job you have. Now I'm sitting in a disciplinary hearing dressed as BATMAN

[Jeffrey Scholz @Jeyffre]

I'm glad we can finally be done with this stupid messaging of

"Study software engineering/blockchain dev earn $100,000 remotely."

And I hope AI keeps it that way.

Turning a craft into a get-rich-quick scheme cheapened it and propagated a culture of low expectations (and some entitlement).

A market that is hard on juniors is a feature, not a bug.

The unserious people should be weeded out.

Someone who survives the junior grind shows they have brains and hustle.

When I used to put job ads on X, I got so much spam from people who thought completing a course and building an NFT earns them a job.

Now I'm even interviewing people who literally say "I'll take a pay cut to do real research work."

That is dedication to the craft.

To clarify -- wanting to make money is a good thing.

But encouraging people to pursue short-term, ephemeral opportunities with the expectation of a quick payout is a waste of human capital.

If you're going to learn how to code/do web3 dev, do it because you love the craft or because there is something meaningful you want to build (yes, knowing how to code makes you a lot better at vibecoding).

Until now talking to a satellite required ground station contracts, aerospace teams, and six-figure budgets. There was no accessible bridge.

Introducing Orbitport as the bridge to orbital infrastructure, accessible via API call.

It handles the routing across congested ground stations and variable-latency LEO networks so you don't have to.

Orbitport is secured from orbit down.
Every data packet is cryptographically signed to verify the originating satellite and authenticate the machine itself.

Speculation was phase one.
Ownership is phase two.

Income-generating real estate.
Fractional | On-chain | Transparent.
Built on @Arbitrum.

📽️ WATCH: Estate Protocol CEO Parv Prabhakar says tokenizing only 10% of the U.S. real estate unlocks $7 trillion in liquidity.

Multiple escalations over 3+ months. Multiple reference numbers. Every single time - identical copy-pasted responses.
Never once engaged with the actual context.
Is this how Imperia customers are treated?

@HDFC_Bank @HDFCBank_Cares my savings & deposits WITH HDFC exceed my credit limit by 1.5x, yet limit enhancement denied.
Your own Biz cards accept GST returns for NEW card issuance, but reject the same GST returns for existing customer limit reviews.
Make it make sense. 🤔

Upgradeability isn't bad everywhere. Admin controls make sense for treasury management, fee parameters, new deployments.
But for contracts holding user funds, the direction is clear:
Immutability is becoming both the security standard and the legal shield.

[Aashish Paliwal @Shady535]

1/
Upgradeable contracts are sold as flexibility.
But if they hold user funds, they're a liability: for security, for trust, and now legally.
Here's what the data shows. 🧵

6/
The SEC closed its Uniswap investigation without enforcement action.
Legal analyses point to key factors: non-custodial design, immutable contracts, users retaining direct control over funds.
Contrast that with custodial platforms facing ongoing enforcement.

@GalloDaSballo Yes, you can utilize conditional encryption from @dciphernetwork

Their BlockLock feature lets you encrypt the key against a future block height. Once that block hits, the network lets anyone decrypt the shared ciphertext.

Tokenized real estate and rwa is geting a lot of hype, but very few teams are actually running live, income-producing assets onchain.

@EstateProtocol is one of the few doing it for real, they just added another US short-term rental on @arbitrum.

Consistency is very impressive here:
- Real Airbnb income paid out in $USDC
- Fractional access instead of full ownership
- New properties being added, not just teased
- Over a year of steady distributions
- Over 27 properties tokenized
- Crossed over 5300 whitelisted users (Dune)
- TVL sits around $12.37M (@DefiLlama)

Its starting to look less like a crypto experiment and more like the early version of a rental-income layer settling directly on L2 infra.

IMO if this momentum holds, onchain real estate will eventually become a real yield category in DeFi.

ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS IN INSTITUTIONAL GRADE REAL ESTATE BROUGHT ONCHAIN ON @arbitrum

32 top tier properties brought onchain
Rent on time for 14 months straight
4500+ users signed up

RWAs onchain are evolving. Till now there was only demand for the extremes of the market. Venture style r/r in most tokens, or tbills managed by Blackrock. As stablecoins mature and become a part of the everyday financial system, many more of them would begin chasing risk adjusted yield.

Real estate is where the biggest opportunity lies.

[Steven Goldfeder @sgoldfed]

we're proposing to lower fees on @arbitrum one during peak congestion

specifically:
1️⃣ create multiple gas targets to allow for more granular fee estimation
2️⃣ permission from the DAO to adjust and add new gas targets over time

if you're building anything that requires fee stability during peak usage on arbitrum i.e. consumer, gaming, perps, etc - this is will help you a ton

below is a visual of the recent gas spike on October 10 and how gas pricing would have performed under the new proposal

@Airtel_Presence I paid for Wi-Fi installation priority fee yesterday and chose a time slot for today. The scheduled time has passed, but I haven’t received any callback or update. Tried calling 198 but stuck with AI & IVR only. Need a real human support ASAP to resolve this!

Hot take 🌶️🚀

Micropayments for bytes is the future.
The free internet was never free… it just hid the costs behind ads, tracking, and rent-seeking intermediaries.
Now the mask is off.

Every retrieval, every API call, every byte of data will have a price tag.
Not because it’s paywalled, but because value is finally measurable.

The next web won’t run on likes or clicks.
It’ll run on proofs and payments. One byte at a time.
