it's kind of painful to see the devcon keynote

after almost 10yrs building ethereum's OSS stack, is this what is left? where is the accountability?

how are you going to inspire the next wave of strong devs? not the B players and the rent seekers? in the age of AGI?

**tim**: Hello hellno!! 🤩

I wonder: what do you and others think of gakonst’s statement? I watched Vitalik’s speech this evening and personally it gave me energy. I now asked Claude to integrate blobs into Kiwi protocol because he mentioned it during the Farcaster protest

**hellno**: haven’t watched the Vitalik video yet
