@PlinthBotherer5 I hear at Apple they’re really stringent about leeks as well

@dillonhanson12 Thank you for the kind words, Dillon!

I have accepted the role of CEO of the GenLayer Foundation.

As the CPO and co-founder of GenLayer Labs, it's been an honor and a pleasure to bring the network into reality, all the way from the whitepaper to the current testnets.

With mainnet around the corner, the next big challenge is adoption. The modern economy couldn't exist without contracts, and yet the traditional methods of resolving them are slow and expensive. Digital systems settle in seconds. A contract dispute takes years, as I've seen firsthand.

I'm passionate about GenLayer enabling fast, unbiased, and cost-effective adjudication for humans and increasingly for AI agents. I'm looking forward to finding and supporting new and existing projects that can benefit from this and bringing them onto GenLayer to kickstart the flywheel.

To put our money where our mouth is, the Foundation itself has a mission: move all of its work to run autonomously on GenLayer itself, and eventually disappear entirely.

I'm incredibly excited to tackle this new challenge. We will be doing a live stream tomorrow to address all your questions. See you there.

Edgars Nemše is the new CEO of the GenLayer Foundation.

The GenLayer Foundation has appointed @EdgarsNemse, GenLayer co-founder and Chief Product Officer, as its CEO. He leaves his role at GenLayer Labs and joins the Foundation full-time.

The timing is deliberate. Until now the Foundation's job was to set things up: the legal structure, the token framework, the first institutional relationships and the capital to launch well. With the token launch and mainnet approaching, the job changes. The Foundation becomes an operating organization: it stewards the treasury, brings projects onto the network and supports them with engineers, grows the validator set, and establishes the network's governance. On GenLayer those are technical jobs, and they need a technical operator.

Edgars co-authored the GenLayer whitepaper and has led the product from first prototype to the current testnet. Before GenLayer he was CTO at StakeHound and worked on trading strategies at Millburn Ridgefield, an $8B quantitative fund.

The Foundation's leadership team: @driudor, who founded the Foundation and has led it since, becomes Chief Institutional Officer, leading capital, institutions and key partners. @raskovsky is Chief Ecosystem Officer, bringing companies and their products onto GenLayer and growing its community. Xavi Cabezas is Chief Marketing Officer, taking GenLayer and the projects building on it to market. GenLayer Labs, led by @kstellana, remains the protocol and product company, focused on mainnet.

The Foundation's focus under Edgars:

— Through launch. Deliver the token launch and the network's early operations well, and run the treasury responsibly and openly.

— Adoption. GenLayer's adoption will come from teams and companies integrating intelligent contracts into real products. The Foundation's job is to find them, fund them, and build alongside them.

— Handing the network to itself. The Foundation's own work, grants, treasury decisions and governance, should eventually run directly on GenLayer. The end state is DeepThought, the on-chain organization that takes over the Foundation's role. The Foundation is working to a four-year horizon for that handover, and the work starts now.

More on each of these as mainnet approaches.

@cognocracy @GenLayer Let's go!

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

@kstellana Thanks Albert. Eight years building together and this is going to be the best chapter yet. Labs and Foundation together will be unstoppable

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

@AnaRegen @GenLayer Glad you're coming along, wouldn't be a W without the team

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

@RahilBuilds @GenLayer See you on the flipside

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

@raskovsky @GenLayer Likewise. Best possible team for this. Our ecosystem is in great hands with you.

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

@driudor Likewise, the Foundation would not be where it is today without you!

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

You don't need to write code by hand to understand the system that you have built and the decisions behind it, junior or senior

You have a superintelligence that can explain it to you at a moment’s notice. You just need to be an active participant. Ask questions, push back. Owner mentality

@kstellana Seems like a clear misclassification that hopefully they'd intent to fix

Astra refuses to write a failing regression test for a known issue for "safety reasons" 🤦

[Laura Shin @laurashin]

AI agents can't be jailed, don't sleep, and cut every corner. @kstellana of GenLayer Labs built them a court instead: 1,500 AI validators, a verdict in minutes, for fifty cents.

[Albert Castellana 卡瑟 - e/acc @kstellana]

The internet runs on a pretty strange assumption: it can move money, execute code and connect billions of people, but if something goes wrong, a company, lawyer or court has to sort it out. GenLayer started with a simple question: what would the internet look like if dispute resolution was actually native to it?

What an odd thing to say, Codex

[Edgars Nemše @EdgarsNemse]

The term 'writing' is too broad - you have functional writing where the purpose is to convey information, and you have prose where the aesthetic quality of the word choices is the point, and anywhere inbetween

Of course the best writing has both - look at Lincoln's speeches - but not every piece of text needs to be a work of art
