At the Base Cafe at Farcon you can scan a QR code, it connects with your coinbase wallet, you sign the transaction and you’re done. After years of using buffi dai at ETH Denver and xdai at many different events and happy hours, this experience was seamless and easy. Huge shoutout

I finally made it home from ETH CC after a full 24 hours of travel 😅. Here are some of my reflections:
I didn't attend a single talk, there were wayyy too many side events and I didn't have time

Feeling nostalgic. Here’s our very first Maker offsite in New Orleans 2018. There were about 30 of us at the time and the team ended up growing to over 100. A lot of these folks stayed on until the Foundation dissolved then went on to do amazing things 🌹

Today is my 6 year anniversary in crypto. I was hired at the Maker Foundation 6 years ago and it changed my life in all the best ways. It’s truly astonishing how much the space has grown and evolved over years. I’m more bullish than ever, and so grateful to be here!

It is still too early to assess the damage, but as a badge holder I can definitively say this round of RPGF is much more labor intensive than last round, lists were a terrible idea, and the amount of nonsense projects is overwhelming. I’m not happy with how this round is going.
My 2 Cents on ongoing RPGF round 3 Fud :
- We Know Nothing
The current discourse around Optimism's RPGF Round 3 is rife with premature judgments. With 150 badge holders and none having fully voted yet (dec 7th), it's important to realize that the process is still unfolding. The

Hot take: you don’t have to like someone to support their project, invest, or vote for them. Performance should be objective.

A couple points about Optimism grants:
1.RPGF and Grants Council are completely separate programs
2. We have a transparent and equitable process where anyone can apply but a grant is never guaranteed

I would love to see a dashboard that includes all of the projects built on Optimism that includes onchain metrics such as number of transactions, daily active users, sequencer fees, etc. This would help retro funding IMMENSELY. Is anyone building this?

Anyone know who this? I want to make sure this isn’t happening in the OP ecosystem. Feel free to DM if you don’t want to share publicly.
there is a latino team taking advantage of chain's grants to buy houses, cars, & resorts
they even sent death threats to former team members to not say anything
this will soon become public. glad to see the latam crypto community taking a stand to flush them out & build better

Conversating in the real world always reminds me how early we are
Family member: “you still working for Bitcoin?”

When I can get through a holiday season without someone asking me if I work for Bitcoin, that’s when I’ll know we’re closer to mass adoption

I am an investor so I can't vote for Holonym but badgeholders should strongly consider adding them to their ballot. They are a small team with a small budget that is making a significant impact to the OP ecosystem, exactly what RPGF was created for.
#10
of 296 in sequencer fees,
#28
in MAU on OP
small budget, 10x team, outsized impact
Holonym should be a no-brainer for OP badge-holders, help us get 10 votes to meet quorum
