We're experimenting with how transactions are ordered on OP Mainnet — for the first time ever. Stake-based transaction ordering is live on Sepolia today. Stake OP, get top-of-block access. Here's what's happening and why 🧵

most people left crypto. i don't think this is just bear market, i have been through many. bitcoin and ethereum plus stablecoins are the only really relevant things that are gonna be left in a decade or two. AI is a in crazy stupid bubble. it's gonna explode sooner rather than later.
the first of the vulture capital messages have appeared. i'm going to help you out. 1. we don't negotiate with terrorists. 2. it's proof of work, there's no allocation for you. 3. your influence is a cancer to this industry. in a world filled with "polite decline"s, kindly, fuck off.
In the next months I'll provide you with a Hacker News replacement that I'll run myself and I'll guarantee personally: no benefit for whatsoever individual, a team of 10/20 persons since the start, from different time zones, clear rules, total transparency, and a "karma" system. I really want to fix HN and provide something that is not bound to a specific company.
After 5 years on the @ethereumfndn leadership team, I’ve decided to step away and pass the torch. I made this decision in early March, and will wrap up my work at the end of April. I’ve made no plans for the future, other than taking a long break to reset and spending time with my family & friends. Working for Ethereum at the Ethereum Foundation has been a great honour. I’m proud to have worked with great people inside and outside of the EF, and proud of what our community has accomplished together. And I’m grateful to have worked with @aerugoettinea, @dannyryan, @hwwonx, @tkstanczak, @tjuliang, @VitalikButerin, and @AyaMiyagotchi on the leadership team over the years. We share a vision and a set of values that mean I will always be your ally and your friend. This journey has been a gift. I have had the rare privilege of seeing up close how small teams of great people can do the impossible. It has changed how I see the world and my place in it. We do not need to accept the world as it is, or where we fear it is going. That is not hope, it is definite: I have seen the proof. The Ethereum ecosystem has reliably done things the world told us was impossible. It is easy to forget how much real fear and doubt there was that Ethereum would never launch, that DeFi would never work, or that Proof of Stake would never ship. The lesson is not that our success was guaranteed and the doubters are always wrong, but that truly wicked problems can be overcome when great people make an extraordinary effort. You must make an extraordinary effort.
Stablecoin cards might be one of the most underrated shifts in payments They flip the model: - Crypto on the front end (USDC, USDT) - Visa/Mastercard on the back end No new acceptance layer needed. Who’s building: Infra: Nium, Rain, Kulipa, Reap (APIs for issuance) Apps: KAST, RedotPay, Wirex (consumer focus) What’s interesting: They’re not replacing rails, they’re plugging into 150M merchants instantly. Still early on volume. But the rails are already there. Big question: Do stablecoins become a real way to pay… or just the invisible funding layer?
