I'm so looking forward to Friday's opening at AMC Theatres of The Book of Clarence. This bold and clever movie is being produced by Jay-Z. I got to know him during our work on Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. I have immense respect for Jay, and for everything that he does!
🗣️ Calling all @zksync developers!

I’m often asked what differentiates NEAR's Layer1 and how I think about its place in the broader Web3 eco––here’s a breakdown comparing different networks/layers in Web3 to traditional computing and the advantages & tradeoffs each offers.
@cosmos is like a datacenter building kit: you get shovels to dig your basement, you have networking cords to connect it to the internet, and you have the specs for racks, but you need to assemble it all yourself, power it up, and maintain it entirely yourself.
@NEARProtocol is more like cloud computing: a shared set of computers where you can launch your own service in seconds and you don't need to think about the datacenter at all. NEAR validators and governance can decide for you when more compute is needed and expand the network according to demand.
@solana is a mainframe: great for multiple processes that are sharing resources, but also means there is an inherent limit on capacity.
Rollups (right now) are like individual servers: anyone can spin one up, but they need to operate and maintain every aspect (or it may stop from time to time). Capacity is limited on each individual server, too.
There is space for all of these, depending on developers’ needs and preferences, but we need to abstract ALL of this for users so they can just go to the app and use it.
Last week was the 20th anniversary of The Black Album, which means 20 years since The Black Phone.
This Nokia special edition phone was stacked:
• The Black Album preloaded
• Jay Z ringtones
• weekly texts + voice msgs from Jay
All for $124. This thing was ahead of its time.
