Congrats to Forma on launching the first Celestia sovereign rollup! 🎭

At first glance, Forma seems like a rollup for TIA NFTs/onchain creators.

But there's **a lot** going on under the surface, and Forma could be a prototype for future rollups 🧵

So then why ZK accounts?

Because it will enable:
1. trust-minimized bridging of TIA to rollups (not bridging/settlement of rollup native assets)
2. more native/aligned LSTs and restaking
3. privacy features
4. ?? things yet to be imagined

But once again, NOT settlement. Thanks

Everything that has financial incentives at its core will be boiled down into its essence by blockchains, and the ease of tokenization and market creation - it won't be pretty, but it will reveal what was always there.

The ability of chatGPT4o to write SQL and python has been genuinely transformative but it can’t figure out how to get python to run reliably on my Mac

What a great day. More to come

yea i’d check that out too ngl

Has anyone analyzed how DAG-based consensus mechanisms interact with MEV?

Is there a leader monopoly? Timing games? Are 'happy paths' incentive-compatible (with exogenous MEV profit)?

not saying blockchains are perfect. but they are the first legal system in history with:

— no borders
— no police
— no penalties for revolt (forking)

hard to overstate how important these things are at a time when states are bombing babies

Celestia...Underneath✨

Astria... For Sequencing🔢

Hyperlane/Stride... For interoperability🪐

Feeling Artsy... And Lazy🦥💤

underappreciated that building end-user privacy fixes most of these as a side effect

why? because if users’ state is private to them it can’t be shared with anyone else (there’s no zk shared state)

so for it to work at all you have to segment state and manage its interactions

The first sovereign rollup powered by the Astria Sequencing Layer 🥂

So turns out the Solana IBC connection exists cause braindamâge 🎛️ (🎨,🎨) got rugged by the Wormhole hack, and made it his personal mission to get trust minimized transfers implemented.

We need him to get rugged by more x-eco bridges!

1/5 Hello, Forma 🎭 🎉

Forma, the network for onchain creations with Celestia underneath, is now live.

The native token of Forma is TIA, and TIA on Forma is bridged via Stride's Hyperlane ⏩ deployment.

This is the start of something wonderful.
