oh greetings, didn't know this was here

Hope ppl clear that Velo team have strong opinions about retro funding because we believe in it and in the Optimistic Vision

We wouldn't have shown up day 1 and refused to go elsewhere—despite mind-bending incentives from other ecos to do so—if we didn't believe

this isn't zero-sum but it's also not zero-stakes

has anyone here studied Econ using a CORE textbook? was thinking about using it for a book club of sorts

Thrilled to be an inaugural reviewer for Superchain grants—and big gratitude to and respect for @brichis for passing me the role despite winning more votes

And thanks for all the public support—this is something I work hard on and it's a great surprise it's being noticed

feel like i've earned a badge by this point

how do we make this happen

is there anything like a book club focusing on emerging/heterodox economic approaches, governance, stakeholder ownership, etc? I do see ppl talking abt this, and it's why I got into this space

got thinking about this reading "The Alternative" by Nick Romeo and it brushes *right up* against what we're doing here

having trouble recalling

in 2020-2021, were thought leaders/VCs doing highly visible pattern rec based on learnings from the prior cycle?

thinking of the manner in which ppl today 'proposing' memes as legit assets, as though this wasn't something heavily discussed 3 years ago

so

who's launching $DEGENERAT

kinda feels like we’re firmly at the sociopath stage of memecoin launches for the moment

think I’m only excited by stuff where I know source from here on out

Or there’s something genuinely exciting abt it, not just chart

idk who needs to hear this, but when applying for OP grants, *please* do not make it obvious that your application was written entirely with ChatGPT

it's not that it makes you seem lazy - builders should use whatever they can to shave time - but because reviewers won't be sure you mean what ChatGPT is saying

who's working on projects documenting defi lore?

there's stuff that should be in films, case studies, you name it

enough happens every day

two more days to weigh in on mission requests, people -

a ton of OP going out, and if people are wondering how to get involved, now is a great time to offer some help – especially builders who can sense check some of this stuff

i kinda think the recast-for-mint thing leads to a decent amt of noise. feel like it could be fine to recast something and send it into ppl's feeds as though it's your post but then not have it on your profile view? idk

it's weird i've been lurking forever on FC now and i'm finding it hard to get totally in the mix

and meanwhile i'm shouting myself hoarse on twitter trying to get ppl in here

maybe this is my job

i am once again capitulating to farcaster

holy moly

A warm Farcaster welcome to @0xmethodic!

gotta say i'm loving oplabs ppl showing up to governance (in personal capacities, ik ik) - helps massively to have this kind of context

it's a beautiful day for GOVERNANCE

okay i'm capitulating and keeping this feed up at all times. the quality is way too high for me not to, even if i feel like i have to build a feed from zero

who's most involved in rpgf discourse around here?

Reposting from X bc it's gotten more play here:

I see this grants season as having two major proposals

RFG-3, which covers audit support, is likely the most immediately impactful of this slate of RFGs

this one, RFG-8, which covers research on crosschain infrastructure, might be the most consequential down the road

Optimism Governance has posted a new request for grant:

We're looking for people to research cross-chain interoperability and work alongside OP Labs in making the Superchain real

This is a major undertaking that'll be supporting ongoing protocol work https://app.charmverse.io/op-grants/page-012176298170861077
