I wonder how brightly Ethereum would shine if its dApps could enjoy sub-second latency for the majority of transactions. Even without it, Ethereum already outperforms everything else. With it, Ethereum would achieve complete domination.

Ethereum's endgame is ZK Proofs. @NikolayVolf shares his thoughts on what's next for Ethereum and why ZK will ultimately provide the best UX in crypto.

The Deadlift Index proposes that "that CEOs who lift weights outperform those who don’t on the S&P 500." And it is outperforming the S&P 500. Of course.

Replacing L1 scaling with "L2 scaling" betrays the promise of crypto! Going from a system where all are equal with access to the same ledger To a system where only the elites can use the L1, forcing the masses onto centralized L2s! That is the betrayal of the cypherpunk dream

The current L2 and modular meta is fascinating. But many solutions still create fragmentation instead of solving it. Scaling isn’t just about TPS. It’s about keeping Ethereum composable and unified. Gear exists to solve that problem.

Rollups made scaling possible. Gear.exe makes scaling seamless. No liquidity fragmentation. No new tokens. Just sub-second latency and unparalleled compute on Ethereum.

Everyone comes back to Ethereum eventually. The base layer is unmatched in security, liquidity, and trust. Gear was built not to replace it, but to extend it. Parallel compute. Sub-second finality. No fragmentation. All on mainnet.

Good to see the Ethereum Foundation more active lately. The truth? Ethereum is a sleeping giant. It still has the best foundation of security, decentralization, and developer mindshare. That is why we built Gear. To help Ethereum realize its full potential.

Running AI agents on Gear just makes sense. • Parallel execution for handling multiple requests at once • No bridging or fragmented liquidity • Rust + WebAssembly for high-performance AI workloads Ethereum-grade security. Web2-grade performance.

AI agents need massive parallelism & persistent state to operate effectively at scale. Gear’s parallel compute architecture & WebAssembly VM are perfect for running autonomous agents that interact in real time. This is not just scaling. It’s creating new design space for dApps.

The DeFi Renaissance isn’t just about better apps, it’s about rethinking how we scale systems without breaking decentralization. Ethereum has the foundation. Now we need to unlock its full potential through efficiency, interoperability, and usability.

Ethereum wasn’t designed for real-time computation, but that doesn’t mean we’re stuck. Parallel execution and smarter architectures can scale Ethereum without compromising its principles. The future is composable and seamless.

Liquid restaking isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about unlocking new possibilities. Gear.exe uses liquid restaking to secure high-performance computation, ensuring scalability without sacrificing decentralization. Efficient, decentralized, and trustless.

Zero-knowledge proofs are the endgame. When zk becomes real-time, trust becomes obsolete. Computation is verified without repetition. But until then? At Gear, we’re paving the way by building scalable, efficient frameworks while zk matures.
