(1/25) Think back to 2014 - the beginning of @ethereum - and compare it to what we have today. What if I told you that the Ethereum of 2030 will be AT LEAST as different from today's Ethereum?
We live in the world of Today-Fi; let us consider the world of Tomorrow-Fi.

(1/25) @ethereum roadmap: Rollups, Danksharding and Settlement Outside the EVM
Rollups are predicated on the idea that the complete, final record exists on-chain. Danksharding is about pushing this data outside the EVM (off-chain).
What does this mean for the Ethereum endgame?

Let me show you how video game development is about to be radically transformed.
(2/16) My first internship was at @riotgames. I spent summer 2011 working on a ton of interesting stuff; I wrote a physics engine, I built a QA automation platform, and I rewrote the file format for some of the in-game assets.
Let me tell you, there are A LOT of assets.
