The future of African Web3 isn't a single super-app. It's builders creating 'legos' of a significantly better operating system for Africa's economy - products focused on specific market needs and leverage each other to offer what no single company can build alone. Using blockchains without leveraging decentralization misses the point. Africa needs better financial + trust infrastructure. Our best path? Building 'on top' of each other's products, coordinating our visions & roadmaps, and creating stronger bridges with global communities. magma ignites such coordination. 2 weeks, in person, with high-potential founders & builders. The magma community already processes 4-5% of Africa's stablecoin volume and is at the forefront of Web3 product innovation on the continent. Ready to build together? Join magma3 to be part of this coordination fabric. Apply by Jan 30: 🧵Learn more about magma2: @borderlessaf

epic sequencing call #17! Many founders, including 10 rollup founders, shared their support for based and/or native rollups. Below are some their quotes. 1h45min YouTube recording coming ASAP :) Part 1—based and native rollups Ben Jones from @Optimism: "Let's get this right. Optimism is willing to support based sequencing and native execution. It's wartime." Nick Johnson from @ensdomains: "You can count Namechain as based-pilled and native-pilled [...] and consider us fully onboard." Jesse Pollak from @base: "We need to scale and connect the Ethereum ecosystem and based sequencing and native execution feel like the tools to do it." Tomasz Stanczak from @NethermindEth: "Based and native rollups feel super aligned, they are what we're super excited about." "We will be experimenting with Surge, based rollups, and FABRIC." Hayden Adams from @unichain: [couldn't make it; see recording for my Unichain take] Steven Goldfeder from @arbitrum: "Diversity makes Ethereum unique [...] We need to find a common core - which is a native rollup, but not stifle innovation on top of it. [...] We're excited to contribute to this direction [...] All of us want Ethereum to win." Fede Carrone from @class_lambda: "Based? For me, it clicked within seconds" Ye Zhang from @Scroll_ZKP: "Based sequencing is an important way to stay in the same economic zone with Ethereum. [...] Native rollups are a super interesting idea!" Part 2—FABRIC: Fabric to Accelerate Based Rollup Infrastructure and Connectivity Drew Van der Werff from @Commit_Boost: "FABRIC is a shelling point to coordinate and stitch together some of the fragmentation that has emerged" mteam from @Spire_Labs: "Spire is devoting developer resources to native rollups." "We believe that a unified set of standards based rollups will lead to greater efficiency in development timelines, bring down costs for users, and establish a compatibility zone which is why we’re excited to announce our support of Fabric" Daniel Wang from @taikoxyz: "we've been waiting for the FABRIC standards so we can work together and provide a full solution" "Taiko is willing to contribute to the Fabric project to make sure we can divide and conquer the problems" Amir Forouzani from @puffer_finance: "Based rollups were a no-brainer for us, [...] so were native rollups." "FABRIC just makes so much sense, [...] these standardization efforts are so important" Demi Brener from @OpenZeppelin: "We see based rollups as a promising path towards scaling Ethereum and billions of user." "We are supportive of the FABRIC efforts and are willing to contribute." Sam Batternally from @rise_chain: "I am here to voice my support for FABRIC" "the signaling from Ethereum that this is the direction scaling is going which will be huge to pull off and attract more builders" Vitalik Buterin: "our community thrives on open source, open research [...] It's amazing to see all of this interest and willingness to work together on sequencing and interoperability
