8/ Richard Garfield created Hasbro's first billion-dollar brand, Magic: The Gathering.
Now he's building onchain games so players can "keep playing these games even after we stop supporting them officially."
9/ It started with @dhof’s @lootproject
8,000 lists of fantasy gear asking: “What if we built an IP that belonged to no one?”
Player-DAOs like @LootRealms became stewards.
Builders like @cartridge_gg turned it into reality.
Engines like @ohayo_dojo make worlds open by default.
10/ If you want to know what escaping digital feudalism feels like, don't take my word for it.
Play @LootSurvivor.
The future I'm talking about? It's live.

15/ When the Library of Alexandria burned, unique texts vanished forever. All that human knowledge, in one vulnerable place.
When game servers shut down, unique worlds and culture go up in smoke.
The fire was inevitable. The centralization was the choice.
16/ Building onchain games isn’t building a safer vault for your worlds.
It’s giving them a printing press: the power to exist everywhere at once.
Copied, extended, rebuilt, preserved, not locked away behind a single door.
18/ We're declaring independence from digital feudalism.
When you own your world, value flows through you, not from you.
That's not just better gaming. It's freedom.
Lido is built on Ethereum.
@LidoFinance is a decentralized liquid staking protocol. Users stake ETH, receive stETH, and keep liquidity while earning staking rewards.
It helps secure the network while giving individuals and institutions access to participate in staking.
Fluidkey is built on Ethereum.
@fluidkey is a privacy app that lets users receive and manage funds onchain without publicly linking them to their identity.
It helps people stay private by default while remaining fully native to Ethereum.
Payy is built on Ethereum.
@payy_link is a privacy-first stablecoin chain designed so your transactions aren’t exposed to the world.
It brings programmable payments to Ethereum, without sacrificing privacy by default.
2/ Cypherpunk means a commitment to censorship resistance, open source, privacy and security (aka CROPS).
The inclusion of privacy is significant because long-time privacy advocates know that privacy was presumed to be important but often went unsaid, much to its detriment.
5/ Today is perhaps the best time to be a privacy advocate in the Ethereum ecosystem.
@web3privacy now lists no fewer than 120 active projects, protocols and organizations:

7/ We’re both big fans of the Hsiao-way! Hsiao-Wei Wang (@hwwonx), EF Co-Executive Director, speaks of Defipunk as a framework for supporting DeFi projects.
This is tough love but incentivizes applications to embed Cypherpunk values into their code:

8/ EF efforts are always welcome but we love when privacy is emergent and community-driven, like @walletbeat, led by @polymutex.
It provides fair and transparent assessments of wallet features, including privacy: https://t.co/iFJsmYnNTL
10/ Where to start? Well we love @fileverse.
Their https://t.co/Q5Y45GMqsv productivity tool, enables online collaboration to work on shared docs privately.
Also, if you post about @fileverse they will absolutely post some obscure but definitely cool anime under your post.
11/ One of the best wallet options, in our humble opinion, is @Railway_xyz which you can use to shield your assets and transactions.
It will take some extra effort to use but that dark mode colour scheme is worth it.
17/ @pcaversaccio is one of the few people who can out-Cypherpunk Vitalik.
@VitalikButerin proposed a near-term, pragmatic compromise called the ‘Maximally simple L1 privacy roadmap’ that focuses on four key objectives: https://t.co/vhKLExalNi
This roadmap emphasises practical privacy goals we could implement in the near-term:
20/ Neo-Cypherpunk elevates the significance of culture in communicating its ideas, making no sharp distinction between technical and non-technical contributors.
Find your way to @web3privacy, @winprivacy and @ETHPanda_Org to get involved.
21/ Many privacy projects from @rotkiapp to @fileverse often struggle to keep the lights on. That’s a crazy situation and we shouldn’t stand for it.
Contribute to privacy projects with your wallet.
Recently, over 100 projects participated in public goods pro-privacy rounds on Gitcoin and Octant:
ZKPass is built on Ethereum.
@zkPass is a privacy-preserving identity protocol letting users prove information about themselves without revealing the underlying data.
It enables secure verification of credentials onchain while keeping personal information private by default.
