Hey there!

@tch writes about how smart wallets can achieve mainstream adoption through better opportunities for financial growth, robust social recovery mechanisms for access restoration, and advanced protection features to ensure privacy and security in the evolving blockchain ecosystem.
Safe, secure, and smart wallets will make people richer and their lives easier and more fulfilling.
@macbudkowski points out that rather than attempting to onboard the next billion users to Ethereum through a single mainstream app, the focus should be on building hundreds of well-targeted apps that solve specific problems for smaller groups of users, creating incremental growth and paving the way for broader adoption.
What Ethereum needs is 100s of apps targeting 100k-10 million users.
@papa writes about how the rise of pseudonymous tools and zero-knowledge (ZK) applications on decentralized networks like Farcaster demonstrates the potential for private, verifiable communication and collaboration, blending individual privacy with trust in digital identities.
Pseudonymity has allowed individuals to share ideas & truths unburdened by fear of retaliation.
@tomu writes about how Farcaster is pioneering programmable social networks, integrating onchain actions into social interactions through AI agents and open graphs, creating seamless, collaborative ecosystems where engagement drives economic activity.
Agents turning social posts into onchain actions are creating a new way to communicate that wasn’t possible before.
@matthan writes about how existing laws are broad enough to address most harms caused by AI, but how amendments to existing regulations may be required to maximize AI’s potential benefits.
We should review our own laws to make sure existing legal provisions do not accidentally come in the way of our AI ambitions.
@ramon writes about the evolution of the internet into a fragmented, recursive space of continuous “now,” defying linear time and physical presence, where thriving requires embracing non-linear thinking and adapting to a realm shaped by infinite possibilities, AI agents, and decentralized logics.
Online, we’re no longer observers of history or planners of the future. We’re trapped — or perhaps liberated — in the eternal present.
That's all we have for this week — what did we miss?
