1/ 🚀 Imagine if Shopify used blockchain & stable tokens during Black Friday... Here’s how it could revolutionize their operations and performance:👇
Yesterday was an incredible day for our merchants and for Shopify:
* Merchants drove a record-breaking $5 billion Black Friday in sales (GMV)
* Peak sales / minute for yesterday = $4.6 million
* Shopify's egress processed more than 173B requests
* Peak requests per minute was at 284 million on edge, with more than 80 million on app servers pushing 12TB a minute
* 45 million peak database queries per second, peak database writes was 7.6 million per second
* We rely on Kafka. At peak we hit 66 million messages per second
Let's keep going 🔥
3/ ⚡ Scalability at its Best
With blockchain’s decentralized nature, Shopify could handle millions of transactions per second. Distributed load means no bottlenecks during peak times, making it smoother than ever. #Scalability#BlockchainTech
2/ 🌍 Global, Instant Transactions
Blockchain & stable tokens would allow Shopify to process real-time, borderless payments. No more waiting for currency exchanges or high fees for international transactions. #Blockchain#StableTokens

This is a super useful post.
A huge downside that the AI Agent narrative has is that you have to be extremely aware of what's happening with the tech.
90% of the agents are already outdated.
This is not a sit back and hold for a long time narrative, it's crucial to actively trade and understand which project has the best tech.

Why did I do this gigantic exercise?
To help VCs and degens uncover shiny new tokens, of course 😂
But really, I wanted to unpack the hype:
- Is the space well-funded?
- Are there strong protocols across categories?
- Is there real traction beyond AI memecoins?
The answer is mostly no.
- The space remains underfunded - $2B is almost nothing.
- Competing with centralized labs in AI stack development is tough.
- Most "traction" is still speculative and robust apps haven't emerged yet.
Right now, funding is concentrated in infra and middleware—but this will shift.
I align with a16z: value accrual will move to apps in the coming years.
And finally, all of this crypto x AI economy will be cross-chain and powered by @EverclearOrg.

Big thanks to @0xPrismatic, endless Devcon side-events, and all folks contributing to this effort 👏
Apologies if there is anything incorrect or out of date - space is moving fast and we might have missed something.
P.S. I’m dreaming of automating this research with next-gen agents someday— Open AI, wen full o1?
