+Finding systems that incentivize the wrong types of interactions.
+User interactions in a system solely tied to the extraction of value without adding value back. Use of data to find these instances.
+In 5-8 years we will have regulation in the crypto space
+Current need for an independent auditing body
+Due diligence for finance, smart contracts, and system design
+Two types of tokens: community tokens and infrastructure-based tokens.
+Community tokens used to incentivize coordination and collaboration
+Infrastructure tokens used to crowdsource and incentive user behavior
1/ Gaming guilds may uncover growth opportunities for different ecosystems during the current down market.
In this thread, we will analyze the @MeritCircle_IO guild to develop a framework for analyzing other gaming guilds and their potential impact.
2/ Crypto games are evolving to have a wide range of gameplay and economic models.
As the scope of Web3 gaming grows in complexity, guilds will evolve to do more than simply fronting startup resources — they will play an active role in both player and game development.
It employs a range of for-profit strategies that include player and game development, direct game investments, active consulting roles for games, and more.
1/ Created to scale throughput, rollups continue to settle on monolithic L1s like @ethereum — however, as usage increases, will rollups remain cheap to use?
Let’s explore Rollups: Execution Through the Modular Lens in this report from @eshita. #ModularDesignSeries 🧵
2/ Rollups allow for scalability on the L1 by batching transactions from the L1 and executing them on an L2, output is sent back to the L1.
The type of rollup can be classified by how transactions are validated and where data availability (DA) takes place.
3/ Top-down, rollups can be separated by whether they post validated proofs on a smart contract settlement layer or not.
Settlement provides objective finality that the processed transactions are valid and ordered correctly.
