Looking back, it’s even more impressive seeing Bison Trails in that list. It was the experience of a lifetime to work there. BT will always have a tender place in my heart. I miss it so much.

I guess being maniacal about security and focusing on building a truly great product over ~3 years of downonly was all for something huh?! Go figure…

Uniswap is literally the textbook definition of a perfect protocol. 100% permissionless, decentralized, and credibly neutral. No upgrade keys, no multisig, no shenanigans. Very limited governance. They will prevail in court and set precedent for the rest of the industry 🫡

Congratulations on Mainnet launch EigenLayer. All the largest operators on Ethereum are ready to restake.
