In most sport tournamnets, playoff match up is determined by seedings. For example, for a round of 16, the match up would be seed 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15 and so on.
Why has no one thought of a mechanic where the seed 1 can PICK who their matchup is, and then seed 2 to pick and so on?

But wait there's more ๐
Hong Kong government's 2024 budget pretty much indicates that they see weakness in the economy and they are leveraging up to maintain short-term stability. A pretty good strategy I would say, but its effectiveness is to be seen.
Linea
Technical Development:
Distinguished from other Layer 2 solutions, Linea exudes a unique aura from its inception. It not only possesses the strong backing of ConsenSys and support from numerous projects but also stands out among other Layer 2 solutions in its emphasis on the ecosystem and its Ethereum OG flavor. Linea not only focuses on Ethereum infrastructure development but also pays attention to practical implementation, such as driving the adoption of ERC-6551 through the Linea Gas Pass initiative and promoting the Cancun upgrade, among other efforts.
Airdrops:
Linea's distinct personality may also reshape the landscape of L2 airdrops. Yes, it may introduce changes to the existing models, although it is unlikely to be revolutionary.
Keeping a close eye on Linea's various activities might prove to be a shortcut of sorts.

3. Starknet
Technical Development:
Starknet is a non-EVM compatible Layer 2 solution that utilizes the Cairo language. The Stark-based mechanism it employs is widely recognized as the most efficient and challenging to develop.
For the development of Starknet, several key areas are being focused on:
- Upgrading the Cairo language to version 2.
- Completing the off-chain sequencer and prover for transaction ordering and verification.
- Establishing a decentralized validator network.
- Scaling the network to handle increased transaction throughput.
- Enhancing account abstraction.
The technology adopted by Starknet is undoubtedly robust, and the team's background is unquestionable. However, due to the ambitious nature of their goals, the current performance is only marginally better than the mainnet, with stability still lagging behind.
Airdrop:
The rumors regarding token unlocking in November are indeed true, including institutional unlocking. The only unknown factor is whether Starknet is truly prepared for an official token issuance in November, given its current state. If the timing is not optimal, the project team has the capability to postpone the token issuance.
As mentioned in my previous tweets, the factors that truly determine the timing of token issuance are:
- The stability and maturity of the network.
- The maturity of the ecosystem.
- The patience of investors and institutions.
- Regulatory pressures.
Currently, Starknet only satisfies the third factor. Regarding the delay of the planned roadmap circulating online, it is not directly related to the token issuance. Lowering costs and creating a competitive fee market can be achieved without strictly relying on the STRK token.
In summary, speculating on the timing of token issuance holds little significance for Starknet. The current focus should be on completing necessary operations before the November milestone. If token issuance does not occur in November, we need to prepare for a long-term strategy.
