LinkedIn has become the default Web2 professional identity layer of the internet. It shapes how we present ourselves, how we get discovered, and how companies hire. Yet its architecture and incentives are still built on a centralized, closed, platform‑first model. At the same time, Web3 professional identity, onchain reputation, and verifiable credentials are emerging as powerful alternatives. This article explains why LinkedIn does not need a full blockchain migration, but it does need a Web...

I am not a crypto journalist. I am a DAO governance researcher from India, still learning this space. And maybe that is exactly why this question came to me because I was not too deep inside the ecosystem to miss it. When Tally announced its shutdown, every major crypto outlet covered it. CoinDesk covered it. CryptoPolitan covered it. Twitter threads came from respected governance voices. Everyone repeated the same story: regulatory environment shifted, VC model failed, Ethereum's "infinite g...

I have been watching Arbitrum's governance closely for the past several weeks. What I noticed wasn't a technical failure. It wasn't a security breach. It was quieter than that and in some ways more serious. Nobody was participating. Proposals were passing or failing not because the community decided but because most of the community never showed up. The ones who did were, more often than not, the ones with the most tokens. This is not a coincidence. It is a design problem.The Numbers Don't Li...

I joined Arbitrum's governance forum four days ago. I'm not a developer. I come from accounting and finance. I had no technical reason to be there. I just started reading and I couldn't stop. This is what I noticed.56 views. That's how many people had read Josef Gattermayer's Security Council application when I first opened it. Josef is applying for a role that gives him emergency multisig power over one of the largest L2 networks in crypto. Billions of dollars. Real users. Real stakes. 56 vi...

Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol in the world. $34 billion locked inside it. 99,200 people using it every month. $300 million in annual revenue flowing through its treasury. By any measure, it is a financial institution of serious consequence — comparable in footprint to the 37th largest bank in the United States. And yet, last week, its governance forum had 254 active participants. That number deserves to sit for a moment. Not 254,000. Not 25,400. Two hundred and fifty four...
