Explainer06 Sep 2023Axelar Interchain Token Service: bridge taxonomy and the wrapped token problemClassifies bridges (native, validator or oracle based, generalized message passing, liquidity networks), lists the risk categories, then explains how Axelar's ITS issues natively fungible interchain tokens instead of bridge-specific wrapped versions. Sushi is an early adopter.Map21 Apr 2024The Ultimate Interoperability Guide: landscape of cross-chain protocolsCategorized landscape of interoperability protocols across messaging, cross-chain DEXs and AMMs, lending, liquidity aggregation, bridges, proof aggregation, proving and verification, each with a short descriptor such as Wormhole's 13/19 guardian set.Map22 Apr 2024Interoperability guide v2: messaging, transport, bridges and proof layersUpdated interop landscape separating cross-chain messaging, transport layer, bridge, aggregation and cross-chain DEX protocols, then adding proving, proof aggregation and verification layers and shared sequencers as modular building blocks.

27 Oct 2024EigenLayer as the base for modular verifiable servicesFrames EigenLayer as a programmable trust layer where modular infra (DA, fast finality, sequencing, interop, ZK proving, oracles, AI) is sold as verifiable SaaS. Walks through an app-specific fantasy football rollup assembled from AVS services.ThesisEthereumDeFi43 likes

13 Sep 2024EigenLayer as a verifiable cloud: the AVS model explainedExplains EigenLayer as a cloud for programmable trust: it accumulates stake and lets anyone rent security on demand, giving rise to AVSs. Lists oracle, DA, ZK proving, interop and rollup coordination AVS categories.ExplainerEthereumDeFi55 likes

10 Sep 2024AVS ecosystem map on EigenLayer: oracles, DA, ZK proving, TEE, AICategorised list of 30+ actively validated services on EigenLayer, from oracles and data availability to ZK proving, AI inference, FHE and MPC. Frames EigenLayer as the verifiable cloud base layer for specialised modular infra providers.MapEthereumZKAI104 likes

30 Aug 2024What is EigenLayer: the verifiable cloud for programmable trustArgues EigenLayer brings SaaS-style abstraction to Web3 by extending Ethereum security beyond the EVM, so teams can spin up a rollup and plug in DA, proving, oracle and interop services as AVSes. Over 50 AVSes are building on $12B restaked ETH.ExplainerEthereumDeFi27 likes

19 Aug 2024Eight NFT collections for airdrop exposure and the rationale for eachLists eight NFT collections he holds or watches for airdrops, with project-specific reasoning such as Celestia ties for Sloths, Eclipse genesis NFTs and Forma's modularium marketplace.Market takeOther23 likes

11 Aug 2024Mitosis airdrop strategy: ecosystem-owned liquidity and Expedition tiersExplains Mitosis as a Cosmos-based L1 pioneering ecosystem-owned liquidity, built on Hyperlane with a $7M seed. Details Expedition point tiers, NFT and ether.fi role bonuses, and the roadmap.BreakdownDeFi30 likes

08 Aug 2024Hyperlane HYPE airdrop: protocol breakdown and value estimatesExplains Hyperlane as a permissionless interop layer and estimates the speculative HYPE airdrop. At a $500M FDV with 10-15% airdropped, he sizes it at $50M-$75M, about $625-$875 per early user wallet and $1000-$2000 per Celestine Sloth.BreakdownL1/L2DeFi38 likes

18 Sep 2023Response to Justin Bons: Ethereum scales L1 via blobs and dankshardingRebuts the claim that L2-only scaling is no scaling. Ethereum sells secure block space and shifts from B2C to B2B, rollups keep customizable execution, composability is the real concern, and L2 activity accrues fees to L1.Market takeEthereumL1/L213 likes
