AditiGrants Program Playbook
First things first, big shoutout to Lisa who collaborated on this post with me and to Christina from Aave, who shared her experience and lessons learned from launching the Lens Grants Program. Much has been written about the importance of community in web3. A protocol community can support and accelerate decentralized protocol development, integrations, commercialization, user education, or globalization. As they’re forming, communities often need guidance from the protocol core teams to be m...
AditiShifts in Product Dynamics
There’s been some clear shifts in how product is being built in web3 since the onset of the bear market.Velocity is the new constant: We're not just moving quickly, we're at lightspeed. The pace of what is getting built in the space is a constant change of new technologies & UX patterns (eg. bridging directly into Base on Friendtech, AA/MPC, zkEVMs, etc). Interestingly the platforms where the discourse is taking place is highly fragmented this cycle, especially given the onset of al...
AditiSovereign Rollups - A Brief Intro
In order to fully understand what a sovereign rollup is, we’ll need to first understand the different pieces of a blockchain:Data Availability and Consensus - makes sure data is available and that there is an agreed upon ordering of transactions. Example: CelestiaSettlement - writes transaction data to the DA layer while publishing new state to the settlement layer. Settlement layers maintain state roots and is a place for dispute resolution and proof verification to take placeExecution - pro...

some of them are serious, some of them are silly. all of them are valuable. not ordered in any special way. learned = relearned = sharpened = blah
When you’re overthinking = write. When you’re anxious = walk. When you’re tired = sleep. When you’re sad = move
Having a different location to work from vs. live from is a game changer
The key to working through lulls is to keep moving. Get up, get out, go out. I like to end my day at the park
Someone finally/unironically called me “Sir/Ser” on CT, that was fun
How you do anything is how you do everything
Being busy isn’t a healthy response to “how are you” – cut it out of your vernacular
Your mindset should always come from a place of abundance, not from a place of competition
“I’m in harmony with myself” > “I’m in competition with everybody”
The Non Violent Communication framework is the most important tool in your toolkit.
Start with what you observe. Then move into how those observations make you feel. Then end with needs/asks. I’d recommend reading this to learn more
It’s not an apology if the word “but” is in it
It’s only embarrassing if you’re embarrassed 🤷♀️
Direction > Speed. Doesn’t matter if you’re moving slow or fast, if you’re moving in the wrong direction, you are fucked
If it costs you your peace, it’s too expensive
Every game is a game of social influence. And most hard ‘tests’ are an exercise in storytelling
No is a complete sentence
Always normalize the vocabulary and introduce more precision by asking questions. This also shows you’re listening + synthesizing information
The answer isn’t “are you right vs. wrong” – the answer is always something people are either going to react strongly or weakly to
Finding mentorship in crypto is really, really hard
Being respected ≠ social clout/twitter clout
Focus on what is actionable. Anything other than that is noise 🗣 some guiding questions:
Can you simplify it?
Can you build + sell it?
