The best products in crypto are becoming platforms

Uniswap v1-3 = best DEX
Uniswap v4 = platform for devs to create DEXs with custom hooks

Aave v1-3 = best lending platform
Euler v2/Morpho/Aave v? = platform for risk curators to manage custom lending platforms

LayerZero v1 = best bridge
LayerZero v2 = platform for devs to build their own decentralized verification network (DVN)

Optimism & Arbitrum = best rollups
OP Stack & Orbit Stack = best rollup frameworks

Ethereum (then) = best chain
Ethereum (now) = settlement layer for chains

eigen = “your own” is not just a meme
The future of crypto is higher volume, lower take rates. It’s pre-programmed.

Cosmos: A Builder’s Thesis

With a market cap of 59B across 74 chains, The Interchain is growing fast with titans like @dYdX moving from Starkware to Cosmos to build “the best product possible"

Should you build on Cosmos, anon? Let’s dig in! Image
But first, what is Cosmos?

Cosmos isn’t a blockchain but a framework for creating hyper-specialized blockchains (app-chains) tailored to user needs

Every app-chain is instantly compatible, solving major interoperability issues.

BSC+Osmosis+Terra are built using the Cosmos SDK Image
The Cosmos SDK makes creating your own chain as easy as deploying a smart contract

App-chains have many benefits:
• independent fee market (no gas fee wars)
• incentive alignment between tokenholders and validators
• pay gas fees in native coin, creating buy pressure
• IBC

Have you been sleeping on India, anon?

Crypto in India grew 641% July ‘20 - June ‘21, far outpacing growth elsewhere

Let’s talk about 5 of the biggest and most interesting web3 companies from India, a thread 🧵
But first, why India?

If Balaji’s massive bullishness wasn’t enough to convince you, consider:
- Growing pop. of 1.4B
- Hockey-stick growth in # of internet users and tech cos
- Indians’ hunger, rising to the top of companies like Google/Microsoft/IBM
1. @0xPolygon, an Ethereum scaling solution

Polygon started off as a PoS Ethereum sidechain. They scaled Ethereum to over 7k TPS (a 450x increase!) and brought gas costs down to fractions of a cent.

Had the pleasure of chatting with @RepJohnCurtis today about blockchain + policy thanks to @mtnDAO!

some highlights and quotes from John below:
1. "We understand blockchain as well as most understand congress"

There's still a lot of work to be done on the education aspect. Most regulators understand that bitcoin is a non-US currency and that's about it.
2. "We fear what we don't understand, and we want to control what we fear."

This is the source of much of the anti-crypto sentiment within Congress.
