And there it is: Jane Street was behind the 2022 crypto winter, destroying Terraform by first depegging the token and destroying the ecosystem, then pretending it would rescue Terra, while effectively it was soaking up what little value remained.

I'm joining @OpenAI to bring agents to everyone. @OpenClaw is becoming a foundation: open, independent, and just getting started.🦞

DeXe Protocol is partnering with @RWAlabs_ae to bridge UAE-based RWA structuring, legal and compliance frameworks with DAO-native governance infrastructure

Together, we’re bringing transparent on-chain rules, decision-making, and treasury operations for tokenized asset programs

Gave Clawdbot access to my portfolio.

"Trade this to $1M. Don't make mistakes"

25 strategies. 3,000+ reports. 12 new algos.

It scanned every X post. Charted every technical. Traded 24/7.

It lost everything.
But boy was it beautiful.

@Bio_helping Don't you think that a native thread is better than just a quote retweet? =)
Plus, there's a quote rt with a call to action at the end of the thread

One habit that genuinely changed my year 👇

In my circle, 2025 was the year of wearables.
Whoop, Oura, Garmin, Apple Watch — not hype, more like a quiet cult 😄
And honestly, that’s a good sign. Means I’m around people who care about health & longevity

@Bio_helping @Bio_helping works? cause it seems like twitter doesn't count my tweet as a quote rt

@Rusya_Solus tbh, "InfoFi" died natively even before Nikita's fix. That means we are moving fast in the real value direction, and that's a good sign for web-3 products/companies/marketers. And Solus ofc ;)

We need more DAOs - but different and better DAOs.

The original drive to build Ethereum was heavily inspired by decentralized autonomous organizations: systems of code and rules that lived on decentralized networks that could manage resources and direct activity, more efficiently and more robustly than traditional governments and corporations could.

Since then, the concept of DAOs has migrated to essentially referring to a treasury controlled by token holder voting - a design which "works", hence why it got copied so much, but a design which is inefficient, vulnerable to capture, and fails utterly at the goal of mitigating the weaknesses of human politics. As a result, many have become cynical about DAOs.

But we need DAOs.

* We need DAOs to create better oracles. Today, decentralized stablecoins, prediction markets, and other basic building blocks of defi are built on oracle designs that we are not satisfied with. If the oracle is token based, whales can manipulate the answer on a subjective issue and it becomes difficult to counteract them. Fundamentally, a token-based oracle cannot have a cost of attack higher than its market cap, which in turn means it cannot secure assets without extracting rent higher than the discount rate. And if the oracle uses human curation, then it's not very decentralized. The problem here is not greed. The problem is that we have bad oracle designs, we need better ones, and bootstrapping them is not just a technical problem but also a social problem.
* We need DAOs for onchain dispute resolution, a necessary component of many types of more advanced smart contract use cases (eg. insurance). This is the same type of problem as price oracles, but even more subjective, and so even harder to get right.
* We need DAOs to maintain lists. This includes: lists of applications known to be secure or not scams, lists of canonical interfaces, lists of token contract addresses, and much more.
* We need DAOs to get projects off the ground quickly. If you have a group of people, who all want something done and are willing to contribute some funds (perhaps in exchange for benefits), then how do you manage this, especially if the task is too short-duration for legal entities to be worth it?
* We need DAOs to do long-term project maintenance. If the original team of a project disappears, how can a community keep going, and how can new people coming in get the funding they need?

One framework that I use to analyze this is "convex vs concave" from https://t.co/1BrMsUAKWK . If the DAO is solving a concave problem, then it is in an environment where, if faced with two possible courses of action, a compromise is better than a coin flip. Hence, you want systems that maximize robustness by averaging (or rather, medianing) in input from many sources, and protect against capture and financial attacks. If the DAO is solving a convex problem, then you want the ability to make decisive choices and follow through on them. In this case, leaders can be good, and the job of the decentralized process should be to keep the leaders in check.

For all of this to work, we need to solve two problems: privacy, and decision fatigue. Without privacy, governance becomes a social game (see https://t.co/uMXcuzQNjM ). And if people have to make decisions every week, for the first month you see excited participation, but over time willingness to participate, and even to stay informed, declines.

I see modern technology as opening the door to a renaissance here. Specifically:

* ZK (and in some cases MPC/FHE, though these should be used only when ZK along cannot solve the problem) for privacy
* AI to solve decision fatigue
* Consensus-finding communication tools (like https://t.co/Nzord32Ub1, but going further)

AI must be used carefully: we must *not* put full-size deepseek (or worse, GPT 5.2) in charge of a DAO and call it a day. Rather, AI must be put in thoughtfully, as something that scales and enhances human intention and judgement, rather than replacing it. This could be done at DAO level (eg. see how https://t.co/pCHI7Mlo2m works), or at individual level (user-controlled local LLMs that vote on their behalf).

It is important to think about the "DAO stack" as also including the communication layer, hence the need for forums and platforms specially designed for the purpose. A multisig plus well-designed consensus-finding tools can easily beat idealized collusion-resistant quadratic funding plus crypto twitter.

But in all cases, we need new designs. Projects that need new oracles and want to build their own should see that as 50% of their job, not 10%.

Projects working on new governance designs should build with ZK and AI in mind, and they should treat the communication layer as 50% of their job, not 10%.

This is how we can ensure the decentralization and robustness of the Ethereum base layer also applies to the world that gets built on top.

We are revising our developer API policies:

We will no longer allow apps that reward users for posting on X (aka “infofi”). This has led to a tremendous amount of AI slop & reply spam on the platform.

We have revoked API access from these apps, so your X experience should start improving soon (once the bots realize they’re not getting paid anymore).

If your developer account was terminated, please reach out and we will assist in transitioning your business to Threads and Bluesky.

By the way, if you’ve just started conducting self-experiments, I highly recommend taking a DNA test to gain a deeper understanding of your body

DNA is one of those things you should do at least once

I even found how to get a free one ;)
