immutable contracts as truly "natural software" - geological formations which exist within our experience, influence our world, but cannot be altered

has anyone written about this?
1/ was incredible to see everyone at @EFDevcon!

I presented an overview of Ethereum as a commons and how @ProtocolGuild is purpose-built to fund this mainnet work

- POSIWID
- the purpose of a system is what it does, not what it claims to do
- no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do

1/ “Insistence on a single culture shuts down learning. Cuts back resilience. Any system, biological, or economic or social, that becomes so encrusted that it cannot self-evolve, a system that systematically scorns experimentation and wipes out the raw material…”

blobs market will eventually saturate..

..and the hivemind will have no self-reflection on the hand-wringing it conjured about blockspace demand, ETH moneyness, high fees / low fees, roadmap, etc

narrative games are pointless - let's have conviction and push through the noise
for your consideration /ethereum =)
1/ new piece! ↓ link + thread below ↓

"​Protocol Guild: a funding framework for the Ethereum commons"

an exploration of the commons scale resources that make Ethereum (network, asset, media), what underpins their integrity, and how
@protocolguild can help with that

wow so much in here! for Ethereum - protocol contributors should be compensated well, @protocolguild is the right tool

gas limits increase this, slot times decrease that..

how about EIP-4444 first - then let's talk?
every project needs a funding strategy for existential infra they don't maintain (eg. ethereum L1)

this competitive differentiator signals to users & builders: we're here longterm, we care about our foundations

closing the loop _cannot_ be an afterthought - DM to jam on this!
Ethereum's 3 resource types (network, asset, media) are most robust when many diff. actors engage in their production

likewise - it's crucial that L1 software media funding come from many diff. sources

@protocolguild is the enabling framework, the 1% Pledge is the invitation
governance of protocols should be a means to an end: consensus and progress

without constraints, it competes with other productive operations
