2024 was in many ways the centralization cycle. Decentralized primitives lost out to centralized apps across the board.
Ethereum decentralization -> L2 multisigs
Uniswap immutability -> Jupiter frontends
Seaport programmability -> Ordinals offchain orders
Metam*sk selfcustody -> Privy app wallets
dYdX cosmos chain -> Hyperliquid validator
The one beautiful exception to this? LayerZero
- immutable protocol with flexible DVNs
- clear tokenholder governance and rights
- dominating marketshare across bridges
- sovereign universal token standard for OFTs
- opensourcing better L1 tech than any 11-figure chain
In the past few months alone, they've shipped:
- QMDB, a better blockchain database which gives you 2.3 million state updates per second
- FAFO, a transaction parallelization approach handling storage read/write conflicts that can process 1.1 million transactions per second
- vApps, an architecture to fit any Rust application into a universal onchain proof framework
Back in 2021 I would joke that the corollary to the blockchain trilemma was the bridge trilemma: if we have at least 3 live crosschain bridges, one of them is about to get hacked. Ronin (625m), Poly (610m), Binance (570m), Wormhole (325m), Nomad (190m), Harmony (100m), Multichain (125m) - all eviscerated user capital.
We don't worry about that any more.
It's so rare to see the team with the best cryptonative ethos also dominate on both tech and distribution.
Kudos to @LayerZero_Core for all the quality opensource shipping.

It is very hard to browse crypto websites with a straight face
People say they want to own the leading stablecoin blockchain, but they keep bidding Plasma instead of Tron. Very confusing
A few weeks ago, Circle considered becoming XRPDollar for $5 billion
Today, up +20% and worth $55 billion while crypto tanks -10%
But by all growth metrics, Tether remains king. So rare that nobody can get access to the #1 player and they all go crazy over the silver medal

you've heard about the hyperliquid of casinos
now time to learn about
openai: the hyperliquid of artificial intelligence
circle: the hyperliquid of stablecoins
drift: the hyperliquid of perpetual swaps

The reason onchain gaming struggles is that crypto is already one giant metagame
“Buy onchain assets to level up and gain new ranks” - this is just jupiter and hyperliquid
“Explore the environment and interact with repetitive NPCs to accomplish goals” - welcome to twitter 🫠

When onboarding family and friends to crypto, they always decline, "we don't have enough stablecoins yet"
I tell them about USDC, USDT, USDS, USDE, USDY, USDD, USDB.
Not good enough. They want more.
"Why no USDK? Where is USDQ?" they complain.
The STABLE GENIUS act fixes this

Don’t worry, the memecoins are immutably stored onchain. Solana fixes this
Agents will do to wallets, what hyperliquid did to perps
People are now pitching "tokenized SBET"
What's next, dehydrated water packets?

The legibility trap: defining a market can break it
- tokenized attention degrades all CT
- cash is fine but blockchain privacy is illegal
- liquid governance collapses Downs' paradox
- flashbots pushed all transactions into private RPCs

Refreshing to see the stripe x privy acquisition. Real app with real users solving real problems. No vaporware infra token fugazi. Crypto markets maturing 💪
Everyone is ravenous to invest in Tether, the best business on planet earth
- $155 billion total supply
- over $1 billion surplus profit every quarter
- over $10 billion in gold/btc holdings
- with only a couple dozen employees
But you can't, so Circle/Plasma are proxy bets

Circle a vândut acțiuni CRCL în valoare de 1 miliard de dolari ieri într-o ofertă publică inițială suprasubscrisă de 25 de ori la prețul de 31 dolari fiecare
Acum se tranzacționează la 88 de dolari pe piețele publice
Poate că ar fi trebuit pur și simplu să... crească prețul și să facă un miliard în plus? Suprasubscrierea de 25 de ori înseamnă că prețul este prea mic, acesta este semnalul pieței

Ar trebui să fii dispus să folosești propriile tale produse
Ar trebui să construiești ceva atât de bun, încât *vrei* să folosești propriul tău produs
Este întotdeauna ciudat să vezi că un launchpad de tokeni nu folosește propriul său launchpad pentru propriul token
Dogfooding-ul este mort

Stablecoins are rerunning the L2 metagame
Users want one big stablecoin with giant liquidity and good yield, not stablecoin-launchpad-as-a-service to swap between Playstation stablecoin and McDonalds stablecoin

Viitorul Portofelului 🧵
Când abandonezi CEX-ul sigur și cumperi prima ta criptomonedă on-chain, alegi un portofel și toate lucrurile tale rămân blocate acolo.
