4/ I kid you not, as I'm typing this - the discord decided to do an impromptu voice channel for an impromptu cat giveaway lol
And we're cheering "never sell"
5/ I'm personally part of the sunglasses squad (the squirtle sunnies) where if you scream "SQUAD" in the Discord, you're bombarded with a deluge of "squaaaaad" in response
Best community ever
6/ Currently, squad is approaching a 0.5 ETH floor 👀
And other cat gangs are rallying around their own floor price - like the fire crowns
We talk shit about each other on the Discord, but it's all in good fun and builds the community
The purple TV heads - with a 0.65 ETH floor
The froggies - with only 8 being sold and a 1.5 ETH floor (showing a super tightknit gang!!)
The dragons - with a ~1.2 ETH floor
And many others, but those have been the most vocal 👀
8/ And the best part? This is just the beginning of the Cool Cats
Seriously - we're just in Generation 1. All Gen 1 cats have blue skin (minus the zombies and 1/1 cats)
Imagine what color(s) the Gen 2+ cats will be! I'm personally hoping for a yellow cat to rep my IRL one 🙏
9/ Not to mention BREEDING
Squad 🤝 Froggie costume 🤝 Fire crown
Who says no?
10/ Some other stuff I'm excited about:
+ IRL swag bc why tf not
+ Monthly airdrops
+ Potential community-made cat derivatives - 3d cats or cat comics anyone?? 👀
either way, im never selling bc my cats are cool + the community is dope + these too much good shit to come
/end
11/ BONUS TWEET
in the time it took me to finish my rant, @lilfrecklez created a banner image for me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

1/ It turns out your whole world can change in 3 months.
I’m revisiting my bridging piece.
Bridges are more important than ever bc they encompass all facets of crypto.
In a modular paradigm, *everything* is a bridge because everything is "cross-chain".
2/ TLDR; I'll talk about:
- How bridging changes in a modular world
- Soft confirmations and why we need them
- Each use case of modular bridging
- Shared security and MMAs
3/ Bridging in a modular world adds complexity to cross-chain transactions.
Monolithic blockchains have homogenous state, making verification of state transition simple, but modular blockchains require verification of 3-4 separate components.
We modularise in order to overcome the inherit tradeoffs and limitations of a monolithic stack. Having separate optimised, modular parts will make a better system in composite.
1/ Over the past 2 months, I fell in love with the interoperability problem. I spoke to nearly every project in the space, and decided to summarize my 200+ hours of research into an article.
Here’s what I learned.
2/ The golden standard is on-chain verification. Every other solution is a trade-off of having verification off-chain (more extensible) and providing security guarantees in order to ensure accurate validation
1/ MCon+Mainnet takeaway #2: The whole DAO contributor funnel needs work:
- Discovery: no Glassdoor of DAOs for beginners 2 browse
- Onboarding: Discords lack process for ppl 2 gain context
- Contribution: DAOs disproportionately benefits self-starters who create their own scope
2/ The most common question I get is 'what DAO should I join'
Usually the best answer I can give is 2-3 ones that I really like, but no one exhaustively knows all the DAOs
Would be great for there to be a Glassdoor for DAOs w/ verified member reviews
3/ Also helpful to think about what you want to get out of joining a DAO
Is it to just see what all the buzz is about?
Is it to find a community?
Is it to be more deeply involved in building in crypto?
Is it a jumping off point to working full time in crypto?
