The fortunes made this cycle won't come from any alt-L1s IMHO. They will come from apps that generate real yield that you've probably never heard of. Not HYPE but apps built on HyperEVM, not ETH but apps built on @Base.
You can look around and make asymmetric bets on a dozen of them already. Just look for any < $1B FDV coin that generates real revenue through fees. Even $AERO counts because it can grow to $100B once the inevitable happens and all the @Coinbase CEX volume is onchain.
Bet on the trends that are inevitable:
- Just like web1/web2 meant all companies went online, web3 means all finance goes onchain (CEX will lose to onchain, it will just take 5-10 years)
- Ignore the boomers that still operate every CEX and just bet on the trend
- Look for apps that capture real yield from this trend, whether its creator content (@Zora, @Virtuals_io, etc) or fees (@AerodromeFi, @MoonwellDeFi, @Mamo_agent, @DefinitiveFi, @BMXDeFi etc)
- Buy them at low MC
- Hodl for a few years
This is literally all you have to do. Like buying MSFT in the 1980s. I was a little kid telling my family "pretty soon every house will have a PC" and they were like "you're crazy Luke" and now here we are. If you bought $100 of MSFT in the 1980s you'd be a billionaire today.
I was seriously a kid in the 1980s telling my dumb family everyone will have a PC. I was a high school student in the 1990s with a University shell account telling my friends "soon everyone will be on the Internet" (they didn't believe me either) - I had one of those motorola flip phones in the 1990s and I was telling everyone "soon everyone will be on mobile" and they were like "it's too expensive" (learn to use Verizon maintenance mode and get free calls bro). I had the first iPhone in 2007 and I would tell everyone at parties "soon all your apps will be on this thing" and nobody believed me. Literally got called an idiot because I told them Blackberry was done.
So believe me when I say soon all your CeFi stuff will be on web3. It's happening right now, finally Wall Street figured it out.
Plan accordingly...
Even the boomers running the @Binance and @Coinbase CEX don't know it yet but @jessepollak is right.
We are still so early... (video credit tomo355 on Midjourney)

Most financial tools feel overwhelming. They're designed for people who already speak the language of finance. @Mamo_agent takes a different path. It's built for the rest of us - for people who want to grow their money without making it their full-time job. Story time...🧵

In summer 2020 when the world locked down for Covid, I began exploring smarter ways to grow money, not through chasing trends, but calm, steady systems that compound over time. My friends at @Coinbase took notice. Some suggested I start a fund, but I had a different vision...
As generative AI revolutionized the world in 2023, I was working on decentralized apps at @MoonwellDeFi, and began thinking about agents with a wallet, and how we might automate the systems for passive wealth creation I had developed in the last few years. The tech wasn't ready.
The @CyversAlerts team has already deleted the post above that had incorrect information. Here's what really happened:
The Moonhacker vault deployer and the actual Moonhacker are unknown to our team. The vault appears to have been developed to execute a leveraged USDC strategy.
Many individual whales and funds deploy vaults like this that integrate with Moonwell core markets and vaults. The typical strategy is to supply USDC, then borrow USDC, then supply more, in order to farm WELL and OP liquidity incentives.
I didn't quite realize how badly until just recently, but we hit some hard scaling challenges at @MoonwellDeFi as we crossed 40,000 wallets on @Base. 🌜🔵🌛
In the last 3 months, our community on Base has quadrupled. This is a great problem to have... 🧵
Before our launch on Base last year, we designed a new data architecture that enabled us to show beautiful market and portfolio graphs in our app. Using GraphQL, we were able to capture daily snapshots of your positions, and show your portfolio history over time.
This worked beautifully, and was well received by our community, but we knew it was a somewhat inefficient way to do this. As we recently reached over 40,000 wallets, it was now taking several hours per day to index all of this onchain data and generate these daily snapshots.
@MoonbeamNetwork@Polkadot What makes @Polkadot unique? Parachains and shared security. Parachains are distinct L1 networks that can support any use case. Proof of stake validators on the L0 relay chain provide shared security to all parachains and can pass messages between them.
💌 Send messages and communicate between apps
💸 Teleport tokens and NFTs between parachains
🏦 Mint digital assets that can be used on all parachains
🚫 Reduce or eliminate bridge risk
I can send money to my family overseas without paying over 10% in fees and getting cheated by criminally convicted @WesternUnion. What's more, no corporation can deplatform me or censor the transfers of value to my family. consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/09/1…
I can contribute directly to open source projects without any 3rd-party, charity or not, taking a cut of my donation. In addition, a matching pool will probably enhance my contribution. gitcoin.co
