Hiring for BD in crypto is different than web2. Tokens, governance, and permissionless ecosystems change the game. This requires a slightly different approach to hiring. If you're hiring for BD or growth in crypto, check out the post below. 📝: Christian, pyrs.eth,

Jim a few features that most fast chains lack but are required for a proper onchain payments system: confidentiality, recourse and consumer protections, fee subsidies and abstractions, and compliance provisions(AML, KYC, etc). payment chains have the opportunity to prioritise these

The payments L1 race is on, competition heating up: tempo vs. Arc vs. Stable

Insightful excerpt from Liam Horne “Blockchains were not designed for stablecoins. Stablecoins are an emergent phenomenon of blockchains. They were created in order to be inter-exchange financial rails and to be an alternative bank for those exchanges, but the main use case

Hot takes on today’s tempo announcement 👇🏻 Tempo’s “stablecoin optimization” positioning is a trojan horse to being a neutral exchange layer If we learn Tempo is actually gas-token agnostic, as an EVM-compatible chain, it would mean all stores of value (BTC) and mediums of

Someone on HN (which is often quite crypto-skeptical) asked why exactly businesses are finding crypto and stablecoins useful. It's a very reasonable question. My response:

On Tempo, permissionlessness, L1 vs L2 Tempo will be a permissionless chain. On day 1, anyone will be able to deploy a token, and anyone will be able to transact on the chain. Some projects think that attracting real-world usage and serious institutions requires giving up on

Gud word salad. All the trade offs here are why financial markets are chaotic systems, and why we’re still innovating the base layer after centuries of development. No chain will solve for all, there is room for many winners. Focus on what you do well, then sell, not snipe.

The level of credible neutrality necessary for change is relative to the incumbents IMO, so whether or not Ethereum is MORE credibly neutral misses the point. As long as Tempo can be a 10x improvement of credible neutrality compared to things like: fedwire, ACH, RTP, DTCC,

Before working at a venture fund, I believed privacy both online and in crypto was important for obvious moral and commercial reasons. Now I believe the lack of privacy onchain is one of the biggest sources of friction, if not a dealbreaker, for many institutions. It's critical.
