Payments has been one of the goals of crypto from the beginning. The pieces are finally coming together.

Week 4 of a16z crypto CSX.

Confession time: I'm not a degen. Never have been. My daily 'gm' never sat quite right.

I'm in web3 because I believe it's possible to use decentralised technologies to make better products. Everyone here, whether a16z or the 25 companies in our…

Voyager 1, launched Sept 5, 1977, is furtherest human artifact from Earth, over 15B miles, 24B kms. Magnificent remote debugging has it back sending understandable data after 6 month outage. Flight Data Subsystem computer, 7400 series TI chips (see image), with 8K 16 bit words of…

Interest in memecoins will come and go, and I'm optimistic that real products/protocols will develop in the end.

But we shouldn't pretend that the casino doesn't set us back. Deterring great founders and giving ammo to politicized regulators has a profound effect.

If you’re afraid of learning assembly, play TIS-100 and try again. It’s a delight and you’ll learn so much.

Here are some (broadly-defined) areas where I believe crypto can make a difference in the world.

1/ Payments
Problem: Payments are highly inefficient, especially when sending them across borders. People spend $647 billion on remittances every year, with an average cost of 6.25%.…

Super high-quality talks at a16z crypto CSX. The chat between Eddy Lazzarin 🟠🔭 and CCP Hellmar of CCP Games was truly inspiring.

This idea that a huge complexity can be derived from a small set of base rules really stuck in my mind. This is true for math, physics, colors, and…

A quote from Eddy Lazzarin 🟠🔭's 'Tokencraft' session:

“Design the protocol, not the token.

If you design the protocol correctly, it will become evident where the token fits in.”

“You don’t design a token; you design a protocol.”

Eddy Lazzarin 🟠🔭 dropping knowledge on token design at a16z crypto CSX London

This is among the most critical and impactful hires we’re looking to make right now.

Will suit strong engineers that thrive in dynamic environments, with deep ownership over critical projects. Ideal for strong communicators too.

Jolt and the Arecibo(Folding) repo is where I tell my friends interested in contributing to open sourced ZK.
