btw whats the plan here to actually improve HyperEVMs UX?

i really think the small-big block architecture was likely a mistake, right now exploring the chain you see so many apps asking to:
- fund hyper with 2 dollars (go through arbitrum for this)
- switch to big blocks through a third party community website hosted on vercel domain
- create pool / do whatever gas intensive action
- wait 1 minute for the tx to settle
- switch back to small blocks otherwise all future txs will take a minute to execute
all because of the gas limits on small blocks

this means every single time a user needs to do a slightly more gas intensive action they need to switch in between block sizes which sounds like terrible UX

are there plans here to increase gas limits on small blocks? make switching in between more seamless? make big blocks faster? the current UX feels like doing stuff on canto in 2022

before i get cope comments: i do own HYPE bags and im just genuinely curious how people are thinking of making the UX somewhat decent. between this, sometimes getting negative balances when querying from RPCs/explorer, nodes crashing, ... hyperevm is not in a great place ux/tech wise rn

but as we all very well know tech doesnt matter, narratives do (although better UX could help)

it’s incredibly fun to go on @bl4nkorg ideation calls with @Slayed_eth @St3cu and the projects we are collabing with and have all these aha! creative moments

probably the most fun period of my life

you guys are not ready for what’s coming

just wanted to share with everyone that i've started advising @xFractalDotFun

i think they're building something extremely cool with an emphasis on deep research behind every feature

right now they have an 87% directional accuracy real time LSTM model for price prediction, agentic alfa scraping and trading all in one place

they'll also be releasing research papers which im super looking forward to ^^

their beta is out if you wanna give it a try

Just claimed a fat Stimmy from @Moonberg_ai.
Didn't even know I was on the list.
You probably are too ●●

wonder why solana blinks never took off

ability to interact with dapps without even leaving twitter / socials is such an insanely cool idea and ux improvement but ive seen close to zero adoption

need something like this on evm asap

remember @believeapp ?

well they once again made a controversial design decision

they froze on chain fee payments for creators and now asking them to connect PayPal / ACH / Venmo if they want to keep getting payouts💀

very web3 aligned

starting to think there’s a moderate chance the future of web3 will sadly just be being eaten out by web2 companies using it for payment rails and only a wasteland of casinos will remain

a lot of the industry relies just on regulatory arbitrage

they don’t know NFTs are like Labubus that only work at 0% interest rates

pls bring back some liquidity 😭

went on a call with ultra

she told me the past 4 years of crypto have been insanely boring and it's time to revert back to the times when we were all just having fun

there was a time everything was up only, and people just released things because they should exist, not for monetary gain

if your web3 business simply works because of regulatory arbitrage it might soon die

with perps trading being legalised in the US think we will soon enter an era where you have to do more than “provide a web2 service but decentralised”

most perp dexes simply exist for this reason

the future of our industry is gonna look way different imo

apps that blend in with web2 but leverage the composability of web3

for those that don’t know, an NFT season has started on TON recently

brands like @pudgypenguins @Azuki and more are releasing limited supply sticker packs, which can then be wrapped into NFTs and resold

floors generally 3-5x mint price and total capitalisation of this market is ~$25M

in comparison the telegram gifts market is worth ~$400M

stickers are bought with telegram stars (the in app credits), then wrapped and resold for TON; each sticker pack around 2-3k supply

sticker limited runs have existed for a long time on messaging apps but it’s interesting to see a whole marketplace come up to enable secondary trading

yesterday the azuki pack saw 150k people trying to fight for a 3,333 supply pack (somehow i managed to snag one hehe)

thanks @rrrusxx for onboarding me

btw @PlasmaFDN during today's cap raise sneakily added X connection to the points leaderboard

they dont have a Kaito leaderboard yet but what mean? secretly tracking social media presence?

either way, trillions

stripe is absolutely killing it with web3 acquisitions

first they bought out Bridge @Stablecoin to have all the payment processing infra

now that have privy for social login and embedded wallet infra

web2 <> web3 is gonna get very spicy

and congrats to @privy_io team for having one of the best products to come out this cycle

the web3 economy is based on attention, not tech superiority

thats why infofi is so interesting, it puts metrics on top of attention and allows anyone to create derivatives of it

already $10k in fees for loud yappers in week 2, with 4 more days to go

start yapping

Loudio.

the truth is that chains don’t matter anymore, apps do

that’s why MegaETH is the best positioned to win

there’s been 2 main app creativity booms in web3 with the third one about to be enabled by mega

1) EVM launch: people creating experimental apps everyday but then experimenting became expensive fast due to rising gas costs

2) @arbitrum launch: mainnet was way too expensive for smaller teams to afford and iterate fast; arb enabled cheaper and faster space and so much was deployed in the first year of arbs existence

3) @megaeth_labs launch: a shift from resource scarcity to resource abundance mindset; devs won’t have to care anymore about block speed, oracle speed, contract sizes, contract call complexity & more. a fully blank slate where developers have complete creative freedom

mega is the best positioned to embrace the third app creativity boom with previously impossible to build apps coming to the chain

not only that, but mega is also taking an extremely app-first approach where instead of passively waiting for apps to come via a large grants bucket, they select, support and accelerate innovative apps via their @0xMegaMafia program

when chains say “come build on our chain, maybe you’ll get a grant” it tends to attract the usual boring forks, few disruptive apps would take the risk

the approach megaeth is taking ensures that there’s a powerful roster of innovative apps building on their chain even before mainnet goes live (30 apps just coming from megamafia alone)

im insanely bullish on chains that think app first

users care about apps, not chains

world computer.

most people midcurving what @PlasmaFDN does

it literally doesn’t matter

Tether will never be able to IPO the way Circle did, and it’s even more valuable than circle

they’re selling the competitor to a $28B company at a $500M valuation

this is the best proxy trade you can get for Tether exposure

me and @Slayed_eth will be back soon to terrorise the timeline

make web3 fun again

expect us

Loudio.

does anyone know if the kaito @arbitrum incentives are equally split amongst yappers or weighted by mindshare?

either way really happy arb decided to take marketing more seriously

arb has always been at the forefront of innovation for L2s, but has always lagged behind on narrative

this (together with a few other things i heard are brewing) should help the chain get back the visibility it deserves

looks like @justinsuntron only managed to get one full allocation in lol

top 3 plasma depositors put in $50M, $33.5M and $24M respectively
