This morning I woke up feeling completely in love with Polygon community. I am grateful for every comment, post, opinion, no matter how harsh, and so happy that there are so many people who care enough to steer Polygon development in the right direction and keep it in check.

If Polygon didn’t have decentralized Governance, these are the types of decisions made behind closed doors, at some Board meeting, with unaware users. Here we witnessed the power of open discussion, transparency and decentralized decision making and that is what we are here for

Community is not an echo chamber competition. Well done Polygon.

💯💜💪

Polygon governance just processed its 1st controversial proposal. It was a SHITSHOW and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED every second of it! 🔥💜 I oversaw the creation of our governance framework, and I am thrilled to see it fulfilling its purpose — giving ultimate power to the community!

1/2 It's done. Malachite is open-source -- github.com/informalsystem… Give the repo a ⭐ and the Universe will reward you. Join the X space scheduled later today to discuss with top builders about Rust & decentralization. Link in the next tweet.

Live and direct.

Great work by Informal Systems 🌱. My bet is that this becomes the industry’s reference consensus engine. 🔥

Mathematics is one of the most marvelous things humans have invented. It directly connects us to the beauty and perfection of the universe, and translates this perfection into sings. Incredible.

Another important win for the industry. Proud to be friends with Alex.eth 🇺🇸 🛡️ and prestonvanloon.eth; thank you for your service gents! 🙏💪

There are only 3 reasons for blockchains to exist: - Self-custody of assets. - Censorship-resistance of transactions. - Trustless enforcement of commitments. If a chain does not provide these, it probably does not need to be a blockchain.

“The advantage of a free market is that it allows millions of decision-makers to respond individually to freely determined prices, allocating resources in a manner that can’t be mimicked by a central plan, however brilliant the central planner.” — Friedrich Hayek

PSA: After much thought and reflection, I’ve decided to step down from the board of the Polygon Foundation, and wind down my day-to-day involvement with Polygon Labs. I was introduced to crypto in 2013 (damn, time flies). By 2017, I was deep down the rabbit hole, fascinated by
