i’m joining the fight against ai slop on the side of human slop

we want to see some art on ethereum what’s good these days?

did you know that the enterprise team at the @ethereumfndn has done 120 calls this month alone, with banks, F500s, and even governments. @davwals @_ashmorgan_ @ismiMatthew & @motypes are leading the charge, follow them!

From 0 to $7K: Why I Took My Podcast Onchain. I launched a podcast in 2019 that hit all the vanity metrics - charted Top 100, 7-figure downloads. But here’s the problem: it made $0. So for my next podcast adventure, I brought the entire production onchain. Thanks to a few powerful tools like @podsdotmedia, @betrmint, @zora, @Veildotcash, @bpdotfun, and @base, it’s earned $7K in just 3 months. My advice to other content creators: 🔑 Experiment. 🔑 Ask questions. 🔑 Get to know builders and see how you can help each other. The keys to the new creator economy are already here 🔑

One month in at @ethereumfndn leading the new EF Enterprise team. One thing is clear: Ethereum is the Liquidity Layer for the internet of value. It is the backbone of the onchain economy and the data speaks for itself: → 90% of RWAs live on Ethereum & L2s → DeFi TVL is 9x the next largest ecosystem → $170B in DEX volume (last 30 days on mainnet & L2) → $140B+ stablecoin TVL on mainnet → 60%+ of stablecoins are on Ethereum & L2s Why are FIs, fintechs, etc choosing Ethereum? → 10 years of uninterrupted uptime → No single point of failure / no vendor lock-in (+ L2 optionality) → $130B+ in economic security → 1.1M+ validators, multi-client, genuine decentralization → Deepest onchain liquidity → Zero pay-to-play Believe in somETHing.

here is a thread that explains what zk is, why it’s a win-win for everyone, and how it is going to become one of the main usecases for ethereum. ↓

> no company wants to horde user credential data, it’s a compliance risk > but regulators want companies to verify users (kyc etc) what’s the solution? enter ZK: a way to prove that you are 18+ (or anything) without revealing all other info (your name, face, address, ssn etc) through the use of zk (zero knowledge proofs) : > companies don’t need to store user data and can avoid getting sued for mishandling that data if they were to get hacked > users don’t need to give every bit of info to corporations > regulators are happy this is all possible, on ethereum.

i’ve learned something new on every call i’ve been on today > a new way to trade tokens on L1 > a new way to think about tokenized stocks > a new way to build a LLM powered CRM > that sharks are older than trees > a fresh approach to JIT liquidity lots happening

Everyone is looking at the first-order effects of spot buys for these DATS but absolutely NO ONE is ready for when these companies start to put this money to work on chain. $6B+ injected directly into ETH Defi? LFG. h/t @blockworksres
