Going public has long been the apex milestone for high-growth startups - a gateway to institutional capital, liquidity, and prestige. But in today’s world, where software defines finance, and stakeholder ecosystems are increasingly global, the traditional IPO is starting to feel more like a legacy system… which begs the question -

Been awhile since I got back to writing! Have been working on all things governance at the dYdX Foundation, and this foray into governance has got me thinking about how governance as a whole in Web3 can be improved. Let’s start with delegation.

The era of Layer 2’s is upon us. Without compromising decentralization and security, Ethereum has pivoted to a rollup-centric roadmap, which sees it delegate the executing of transactions on Layer 2’s to scale by magnitudes of order.

Here's a quick overview of what bridges are, why it is important to understand how they work, and their design trade-offs.

Going bankless is a journey towards freedom—self-sovereignty. Financial independence. Created this visual referencing Bankless’ “Going Bankless: The Ultimate Guide” piece as well as the Welcome To Bankless | 2021 Edition video.

We are knees deep into 2022, but it’s not too late reflect on what happened in 2021. This is a visual showcases the top 20 Crypto Events of 2021, and is created from Bankless’s Top 20 Crypto Events of 2021 video.

Here's the final part on 'Ultra Sound ETH' in my 3 part series for ‘The Bull Case for Ethereum’ - for this, I dive specifically into EIP1559 and Ethereum's Transition to PoS.

In this visual, I detail how Ethereum is modularizing in order to 'invert' the blockchain trilemma (covered in my previous piece on The Blockchain Trilemma), where decentralization, security and scalability are achieved without compromising either. This is how Ethereum becomes ultra scalable, and is how meaningful adoption is enabled.

The Blockchain Trilemma dictates that you can only optimize for two of the three properties of a blockchain. Those three properties of a blockchain are Decentralization, Security, and Scalability.
