- Telegram Is Crypto’s Adoption Machine (coindesk.com)

- The Social App Thesis (davidphelps.substack.com)
The author describes "The Social App Thesis," a sequel to "The Proto-App Thesis," arguing that apps will win by operating as social apps. The piece contends that financial capital and social capital are inversely correlated, so wealth cannot easily buy status, and that financial incentives tend to fail at retention, which the author says explains why many Web3 social apps have failed. It argues that Web2 monetized social behavior while its users did not, whereas blockchains let users monetize directly from other users. The excerpt ends mid-argument, before the author's discussion of zero-sum financial incentives.

The article says the standard aims to standardize order and settlement interfaces, allow dApps to access shared filler networks, and reduce failure rates by fostering competition among fillers. It states that 70 protocols support ERC-7683 and that projects can choose settlement processes that fit their needs.
