Setting the StageThis past week was one for the books. Had some epic of podcast recordings and shows, shipped a mini-app on Farcaster, hopped from Vegas to the Palm Springs area to the mountains of Idyllwild for FWB Fest—and somehow kept my mic hot through it all. The energy onchain feels like it’s mirroring IRL right now: fast-moving, a little chaotic, but packed with moments of pure magic What Went Down Ethereum turns 10: A decade ago, the whitepaper felt like a moonshot. Today, it’s the infrastructure for trillions in value, countless experiments, and more than a few all-nighters for devs around the world. Check out the 10 year anniversary celebration below!

From Coinbase and Chase partnering, to PayPal’s expansion of stablecoin use cases, to Base’s growing role in the onchain space, the language we’ve been speaking in our corner of the internet is slowly becoming universal. It’s not just about protocols anymore—it’s about cultural infrastructure, human connection, and making the onchain experience feel as natural as sending a text. Founder’s NoteThis week felt like a bridge-building moment—between people, between communities, between crypto and the world outside it. We’re not just stacking blocks; we’re building culture, infrastructure, and memories that’ll last far longer than any bull or bear cycle. My final takeaway? Tech can scale fast, but nothing moves without people. The real edge we have is how we show up for each other in the community. Catch you onchain, — Rachel Subscribe
