Congrats to the team tor another award, still getting them almost 10 years later!

It was working on this project which reminded me how much I love mixing real science, storytelling and CG.

That’s why A⁷ is rather hard science and heavy on theoretical physics shenanigans 🖖

Long thread, no TLDR:

Throughout Uniswap's history, there have been many moments that upset people

Raising VC funding, adding fee switch to v2, not having a token, having a token, criticizing Nomi days before he rugged, blocking certain tokens in the UI, geoblocking OFAC countries, concentrated liquidity, BUSL, etc

Some people wish instead of raising money to build at scale, I begged for grants until I ran out of money and gave up

Some people wish I moved abroad and launched a token anon, and had to look over my shoulder the rest of my life

Some people want me to practice civil disobedience, intentionally flaunting laws they (and often I) believe are unjust and live with the legal consequences

Some people disagree with structural, economic, or technical decisions that were made

I work in crypto because of the immense positive impact I believe it can have on the world by removing gatekeepers, and increasing access to value and ownership, the same way the internet has for information

I work on Uniswap because I think it has massive potential to contribute to that outcome

I'm incredibly proud of Uniswap v1, v2, v3, v4, the thousands of projects building on top of it, the web app with millions of users, the wallet with hundreds of thousands of downloads, and the airdrop that changes thousands of lives around the world

I've made many mistakes, but stand behind the decisions I've made. I'm a bit introverted, so constant public communication can be tough. But I'm going to continue pushing myself to engage publicly, transparently, and clearly as often as I'm able.

We're still in the early days - this technology and revolution will play out over decades. I'm in it for the long haul - that's why I'm still grinding away 5 years in

Hope that we can come together more as an industry, and see past minor disagreements

The more uni-fied we are, the stronger we are, the harder we are to kill. So lets be frens

🦄💜

@cjdcosta @jofo_real @bramcohen @gavofyork I wasn't referring to $DOT, just echoing @bramcohen's point that solidity and EVM are garbage.

[Joey @joeydefi]

@cjdcosta @jofo_real @bramcohen @gavofyork Polkadot is as promising as EOS, it's 2 generations behind. Avalanche subnet architecture is the best *by far*. You don't need a bloated EVM, yet you can speak EVM-standards and interoperate flawlessly. Better tech =! increased adoption though. ETH is king because of "liquidity".

@bdog_hh Big fan of the moustache guy 😆

[b-dog 🔺 @bdog_hh]

@NiftyxProtocol and @GameswapDEX are looking forward to supporting @Aten7Game and it’s webexperience reveal at the @avax summit. Let’s bring the next triple A game onto Avalanche from the #Hollywood VFX artist @cryptosylvan

@_patrickogrady Ok this is going from great to huge.. awesome work Patrick!

HyperSDK: Opinionated Framework for Building Hyper-Scalable Blockchains on Avalanche

(otherwise known as the secret project I've been developing over the past 6 months at @avalabsofficial)

[patrickogrady.xyz @_patrickogrady]

At 6:42:29 AM UTC (1:42:29 AM ET) this morning, December 22nd, 2022, the first native Cross-Subnet Message was sent on #Avalanche Mainnet using **Avalanche Warp Messaging**.

[Joey @joeydefi]

@Tocelot @JackSoslow @gwertz I'd recommend you to follow @cryptosylvan as his team has been working on cutting-edge ML/AI powered procedural world and character building for some time. Cool stuff. https://t.co/tiRrYhqapp

[Aten7 @Aten7Game]

1/ We have developed an underlying technology layer (and will continue to extensively) which provides a number of features:

- The world's best current gaming industry interoperability solution (we don't say that lightly)

[Joey @joeydefi]

Amazing work by Sylvan and co. This stuff is quite promising and could become the definitive bridge between mainstream gaming and crypto/web3 gaming.

Banff 1 is just the latest of many developments that will make Subnets the most powerful & exciting technology for creators building in the digital age.

These primitives will be the foundation for new use cases and app-specific chains that that haven’t even been thought of yet.

[Sylvan @biomimetical]

At last.. welcome to Aten7

As mentioned before this is a temp landing page while the studio finishes the fancy webgl experience.

At least you can check out the story now 😆 we'll be posting vids soon!

@Aten7Game

Thanks for your patience and support!

[Emin Gün Sirer🔺⚔️ @el33th4xor]

There is a pretty obvious takeaway here that should be clear to techies: clean, straightforward designs are superior to complex solutions, and tech that just works is in every way better than tech that requires its own invented vocabulary.

[Joey @joeydefi]

Lessons learnt the hard way. Better to patiently await for @SparqNet powered subnets than mindlessly acquire troubling technical debt. Projects thinking long-term already sense that the next cycle will bring a post-EVM world, albeit maintaining EVM standards for interoperability.

[Zach Rynes | CLG @ChainLinkGod]

It’s been a rough month for Ethereum rollups

- Optimism RPC couldn’t handle the load during token airdrop
- dYdX ditching StarkWare to launch a Cosmos chain due to throughput
- Arbitrum pausing the Odyssey program due to congestion

Not great validation for the rollup thesis

[Joey @joeydefi]

💯! most first time startups are unaware of how much good engineers REALLY cost, only to be awakened later facing reality when growing the team... crypto enables new ways to keep core engineers vested long-term via sweat-equity, which mitigates this situation during bear markets

[Ryan Petersen @typesfast]

It might be that many software business models don't work when engineers cost $400k/year.

@SamLew_89 @Rager @CanteringClark @NiftyxProtocol No, I'm afraid you're not in the building channels, nor part of the community anymore, or even vested. It almost seems as if you'd like to see the project derail or contributors giving up, which you'll never see, sorry 😉

[Joey @joeydefi]

@SamLew_89 @Rager @CanteringClark @NiftyxProtocol Yes, we keep building believe it or not. We have said that ETAs aren't hard deadlines, just best effort estimates. Also, we have ALWAYS been clear that you shouldn't buy governance tokens for speculation. We've always recommended (FAQ/ToS/rules) farming them, which is well, free.

[Joey @joeydefi]

@SamLew_89 @Rager @CanteringClark @NiftyxProtocol What? we interact with community members every day on telegram. Not so much on twitter as the current state is highly toxic, not worth it and unproductive.
Also, ETAs are inherently "estimations", not hard deadlines, and they're often adjusted because of external/internal factors
