1/ Blockworks has acquired Messari.

We’re bringing together crypto’s two largest data and market intelligence platforms.

@EliBenSasson The next decade belongs to chains that treat security and UX as the same problem.

The only reason for crypto to exist is to rebuild institutions natively on the internet.

Our failure to do so is the only reason people legitimately don’t care.

Better trading systems & more revenue does not dig us out of that hole.

Courage to solve the big problems, May.

Expect many smart contracts with source code closed to be hacked. Decompilation in the age of AI is easy

[Lex Sokolin | Generative Ventures @LexSokolin]

Uncollateralized lending in crypto is either:

1. A revolution in credit primitives
2. A fancy word for exit liquidity

The difference? Real identity infrastructure

Without it, you're just hoping humans behave onchain like they do IRL

Spoiler: they don't

Novel use cases for public blockchains, smart contracts, and data.

Fragmentation of chains is great for interoperability protocols.

Now that Tether, Circle, & Stripe are all building different payment L1s, it is increasingly unlikely that we will have one globally-dominant payment L1.

As a result, interoperability between payment chains becomes necessary.
- Interoperable addresses of the form "address@chain" (e.g. ERC7930) will become the (de facto) standard
- Native interop supported by chains or asset issuers and externally-supported interop, like intent or solver-based bridges, will continue to improve.

A chain will then resemble a bank or mail server more than a vertically-integrated walled garden like web2 social & e-commerce platforms.

It's unfortunate, but also highlights why DeFi and zero-knowledge proofs is the future. Users shouldn't have to hand over their data to transact, only share proofs when necessary. As an industry, we're not there yet, but that's the north star.

Just revealed: FinCEN explicitly told prosecutors Samourai Wallet wasn't a money transmitter due to its non-custodial design; DOJ prosecuted developers anyway, suppressing exculpatory evidence for a year.

1 The things you don’t know you don’t know are mostly more important and more impactful than the things already know, this is especially true in crypto space.

Bitcoin is currently being used for non financial transactions to a massive degree

49% the UTXO set is sub 1000 sat outputs

43% of transactions in the past 2 weeks had an OP_RETURN or were inscriptions

Don't shoot the messenger

If the point to asset tokenization is liquidity, why can asset tokens only exist on a single marketplace at a time?!! Accumulate has the solution to this problem.
