𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐄: 𝐆𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. I recently gave a talk @d_InfraSummit, hosted and organized by @1kxnetwork. In my opinion, this is the highest-quality and most-serious side event at @EthereumDenver, It was a privilege to share

Gotta say that I'm an even bigger fan now. Holiday parties must be on point.

The Internet enabled the iPhone. GPUs enabled LLMs. The human gig economy (Uber, AirBnB, etc) were enabled by the combination of the iPhone and the Internet. The agent/robot gig economy will be anbled by GPUs & LLMs. Kind of crazy to think about.

I’m also selfishly excited to see RPC nodes continuing to be called out as an open question or caveat in almost every talk. See this slide from @adietrichs. I know the team @BuildWithGrove is shipping while I’m here equipping.

Ethereum used to have the “world’s supercomputer” narrative. I gave up on that a few years ago…. Felt like narrative for narrative’s sake. @paradigm Frontiers changed my mind this year. A conference by developers, for developers, focused on tangible impact. From UX to

People talk about solving hard and ambitious problems. This requires a whole new level of conviction and perseverance.

Come find me at SBC or @paradigm Frontiers this week.

Our team coined The RPC Trillema several years ago. APIs: The language spoken by distributed systems. RPC: The medium by which systems can communicate via APIs. @POKTnetwork The goal is to provide Reliable, Performant and Cost-effective RPC endpoints and APIs. @BuildWithGrove

Requests: We range from 50M to 1B requests a day, but we're just getting started. Partnerships: Ripple, Google, and many more. Other stakeholders: Tons of suppliers, developers and community members.

My 2-minute pitch for @BuildWithGrove and @POKTnetwork at @BerkeleyRDI. 🧵👇.

The rule of 1. Focus on the 1 most important thing every day. Have 1 scheduled a week with the team. Everything else will fall into place.

PSA: Do not travel with juggling balls. I’m simultaneously glad and conflicted at the same time. I get stopped by TSA almost every time as they assume I’m smuggling something inside. The only thing I’m smuggling is a couple handfuls of fun 🤹‍♂️. The craziest thing is that.

It really feels like you're building something with a moat when the power of ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity combined all go in the wrong directions.

It's crazy to see (and feel) the difference in raising an extra $1B now and two years ago. November 2023: Microsoft invests $10B for 49% of OpenAI. August 2025: OpenAI raises $8.3B at $300B (< 3%).

I couldn't embody this until @balajis really called it out:. "𝘈𝘐 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘭.". 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝 - You can "vibe code" your way through basic trial-and-error. If it looks right, it's right.

The playbook on how legally pay $0 in taxes on a $700M business. Fascinating.

Over the last 2 weeks, my time zone shifts were: 🇺🇸 PST -> 🇨🇦 EST -> 🇬🇧 -> 🇫🇷. Kept waking up at the same time every day without an alarm clock; sometime between 6am -> 7am. I've been known to take my morning routines a little too seriously, but the human body continues to amaze.
