Congrats to @PhilippZentner and the entire @lifiprotocol team on their recent Series A. We're grateful to have had Philipp in KB3. He recently walked us through LiFi’s core thesis. • Unified access to every major liquidity venue, aggregating bridges, DEXs, and settlement

Today we’re announcing a $29M Series A extension for LI.F​I, funded by Multicoin and CoinFund. This brings our total capital raised to ~$52M. More aggressive and committed than ever to build the universal liquidity market for digital assets. Time to scale.

Growing up in Buenos Aires, @Skeletor_Space (KB11) watched Argentina's economy spiral through repeated crises driven by ongoing, runaway inflation. (In 2011, a dollar could be exchanged for 3.45 pesos; today, it'll buy you a thousand.) It attracted him to "parallel economies" –

I’ve had The Beginning of Infinity unread on my shelf for a while. It feels like a good explanation. It reminds me of @Kernel0x’s education philosophy – peer learning, “unschooling” society, by recognizing that appealing to authority for truth limits us all … Time to read …

Listen to this if you want to know more about pod! The description on the tweet is also a good TLDR

What if we don't *need* global consensus to solve the double spend problem? ▷ validators don't talk to each other directly, instead maintaining a local, totally ordered log ▷ transactions finalize in one round-trip (200ms), without being ordered ▷ ordering-sensitive

What could a MicroIPO look like? To @aadams and the @whetstonedotcc team, the answer will be found by effectively pricing net new assets (not tokenizing equities). “Issuance as a net primitive has become significantly cheaper.” “What issuance means is: getting ���an asset from

The blockchain gives us consensus on time. But how do we achieve consensus on place? At Kernel's NYC salon, @0xranvir – co-founder of @witnesschain with a Ph.D. in distributed systems – laid out Proof of Location: a protocol for bringing consensus to the physical world. The

Meet Luxo Pi, a lamp that moves, talks, and listens. With a background in robotics and personal hardware, @whoiscyril built a functional robotic lamp fully contained within a Raspberry Pi. NPUs (neural processing units) give it sight, hearing, motion, touch – and soul. Inspired

s/o to @Kernel0x for hosting me for this talk focused more on how reasoning about identity could become a protocol ultimately powering a user-owned data layer tons of fundamental ML and product challenges to solve before then, but we're closer than we think

The context wars are upon us. OpenAI, Anthropic, Apple, Google. Every major player is racing to collect more of your data to power their AI. It reeks of “enshittification.” At Kernel's salon in NYC, @plasticlabs CEO @vintrotweets laid out a different vision: Honcho is
