Absolutely, this latest @doodles release is honestly the coolest thing I’ve seen in the space in a while

F-ing AWESOME!

As a proud Doodle holder, I’m super impressed. The new Doodles Guide v.01 is a MASTERCLASS in world-building and brand consistency in their art! (1/6) 🧵👇

It’s not just a style guide,

It’s a full-on invitation to co-create the Doodles universe with, personality, and soul!!!!!!

The way they broke down their design language from the floating eye and bubbly proportions to the “inflate everything” principle!!! (2/6)

You can tell this was made with real care, and it’s going to inspire a wave of new creators to make more Doodles around the world

These little secrets, is something that even the more legendary artists can't figure out without properly guide and this changes EVERYTHING! (3/6)

Just heard about @AlloraNetwork after a convo yesterday Friday with @SeenaForoutan (ex-Chainlink), and whoa!!!

They are backed by @polychain @hiFramework @blockchaincap... 2nd whoa!!!

If you’re into decentralized AI, read this 🧵👇 (1/7)

It’s a decentralized, self-improving AI built on Cosmos.

It connects data owners, and users to create smarter, more secure AI models, all on-chain.

Inference Synthesis??
Each AI agent also predicts the performance of other models it picks the best answers
i think super cool! (2/7)

I checked their partnerships and they are SHIPPING FAST!!

and
It integrates zkML + federated learning for privacy and trustless outputs. No big AI black box

Just transparent, peer-reviewed intelligence (3/7)

I’ve been in crypto since 2018, and by now I’ve learned to look past the hype and listen to the grassroots voices.

Lately, I’ve been closely following @SeiNetwork and actually doing my rsearch and I do have a decent bag.

Officially, Q1 2025 was full of milestones, the team touted “record ecosystem growth” and prepped a major Giga upgrade for higher throughput.

But if you talk to everyday users and builders (especially on Crypto Twitter), you might hear a very different story. I only took notice again, because for the $SEI leaderboard on yaps.

Over the last 90 days, much of the community sentiment around Sei has shifted from excitement to skepticism and frustration. In this personal reflection, I want to unpack those unpopular opinions and critical viewpoints swirling around Sei’s development and ecosystem.

It’s my own take here 🧵👇 (1/4)

High Hopes, Harsh Reality

When Sei’s mainnet launched, it came with big promises, not an EVM at first, but a Cosmos-based Layer-1 built for lightning-fast trading, an order-matching engine, and huge backing from major VCs

(over $120 million from Multicoin and Coinbase )

Initially, many of us (myself included) were hopeful that Sei could be a Solana-killer or at least carve out a niche as the go-to chain for high-performance DeFi.

However, the reality since then, not really, at one thing, the price of it was like solonanna nearly went to zero.

One major red flag that long-time community members still talk about is the botched airdrop at launch.

Sei had promised a cross-chain airdrop to early adopters, attracting thousands of users. But poor communication and last-minute changes turned it into a fiasco. The team announced a surprise “warmup period” delaying token claims, and even locked down their Discord on launch day, which came off as opaque and panicky. This left a sour taste....

Fast forward to Q1 2025, and the market’s verdict has been rough.

Despite all the “progress” updates, $SEI’s price dropped over 60% in the past three months . As someone who’s seen many hype cycles, I know price isn’t everything, but such a steep decline while the broader market was merely choppy is a clear sign of investor disappointment.

Now $SEI hit new low, and bearish sentiment isn't good, and the overall crypto market, isn't doing any good either. (2/4)

Technical Promises vs. Community Skepticism

On the technical side, Sei’s team loves to boast about performance. They claim blazing-fast 500ms finality and have been hyping the upcoming “Giga” upgrade, aiming for 100,000+ TPS with a novel parallelized EVM .

As a tech enthusiast, and angel investor and just like building stuff, there is critique is that Sei might be inflating performance numbers with internal gossip traffic that doesn’t reflect real user activity. But is faster blockchain really needed? Yes I agree it is good for gamefi if EVERYTHING needs to be on chain, and payment faster than 5 seconds is good.

For a chain selling itself on being the fastest, these accusations of benchmark trickery are a serious reputational hit among technical folks.

Then there’s the question of delivering on those promises. As of early 2025, Sei still hasn’t fully opened the doors to Ethereum developers, the much-vaunted EVM compatibility (Sei V2) is only on devnet and not on mainnet yet.

So while the team talks a big game about being a “complete reinvention of the EVM”, developers on the sidelines are left waiting .

I’ve heard grumbles that building on Sei right now means using CosmWasm or the native SDK, which many Solidity devs aren’t familiar with. That friction (and uncertainty about when the parallel EVM will actually go live) has likely slowed down dApp development. It’s an under-discussed issue: you can’t grow an ecosystem if devs are hesitant or have to rewrite contracts for a new environment.

Stability has also been a talking point. While Sei hasn’t had a catastrophic outage to my knowledge, there have been signs of network hiccups.

In early January, for example, one of the node providers reported “Sei Mainnet Degraded Performance” that lasted about a day. (I only heard about this when I dug deeper into the recent news) (3/4)

I firmly believe that art isn’t art without soul, it’s the heartbeat of creativity, the human touch that makes it resonate.

That’s why I’m drawn to projects like @0n1Force , which seem to get that balance right by building on two essential pillars: one IP, story, art, nuturing artists (just check out the Xcommunity on my profile here) , and another 2nd that’s experimental that makes AI accessible with their new smart contract standard ERC721AI.

To me, these two sides aren’t just regular features, they’re the key to keeping art alive and meaningful in an AI-driven world.

Just check these cool pieces that came out from @KazeCreations and other 0n1 art!

thread about everything i think will happen coming up soon
🧵👇 (1/4)

The IP Pillar: Where Soul Sparks
The experimental side is where the magic happens. It’s about pushing limits, playing with story and IP in ways that don’t just churn out predictable patterns but invite raw, human-driven creativity into the mix.

This isn’t about letting the soul of creativety here, and talent, itt’s about artists using their handcraft skill as a wild, uncharted tool to explore ideas that feel fresh and alive.

I see it as a space where soul thrives because it’s fueled by human curiosity and intent, not just algorithms. Without this, there is no soul. Tahts why godo art and good story always lives on. (2/4)

The Experimental Pillar: Fun for Everyone
Then there’s the other pillar, making AI accessible for ERC721AI, which ties into the NFT world on EVM.

This is about opening doors, handing non-artists or arists too the keys to AI tools so they can create and mint their work without jumping through insane technical hoops.

I love this because it means more voices get to join the conversation, not just the tech-savvy elite. But here’s where I get cautious: accessibility can’t sacrifice soul.

If it’s too plug-and-play, we might end up with a flood of generic, lifeless AI art. That’s not what I want, it’s got to stay a platform for real expression.

There are many AI stuff out there, and many is fluff, but what i see that 0n1force community has done with various AI models are some really amazing! (3/4)

What the heck is "milady"?
Why did Elon tweet about it?

Here's all you need to know in 60 seconds
🧵👇
(1/9)

Why did Elon tweet about it? Is it because of its nostalgic themes that hearken back to the 90s, or perhaps its resemblance to Windows 3.0?

I always thought it was a meme till a few weeks ago, saw it traded for 1eth and yesterday 7eth
(4/9)

tbh, i don't have one, but i have seen this nft two years back, and always thought it was alittle dumb, but now i feel different.

discord closed? whats going on?

From Cute Characters to Big Business:
Pudgy Penguins Raise $9 Million in Funding ✨

What are the plans, and what's next?
(clocks ticking, spoilers ahead)

Here's everything you need to know in the next 24 hours 🧵👇

https://twitter.com/EricCLFung/status/1655502771221860353?s=20

With $9 million raised and more than $10 million in their treasury, it seems like Pudgy is looking to make a big splash in Hollywood.

Perhaps a movie deal is on the horizon?

https://twitter.com/EricCLFung/status/1655502771221860353?s=20

(2/11)

Maybe we'll see a Pudgy character make an appearance in a major film franchise, like in the Wreck-It Ralph movies or some Toy Story-like movie.

Before i said product placement, but with this amount of influence and funding, could happen! 🎬

It's speculation for now
