The World’s Computer: Why Ethereum is More Than Just Digital MoneyIn the fast-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, Bitcoin is often called "digital gold." But if Bitcoin is gold, Ethereum is the electricity, the engine, and the entire infrastructure of a new internet. Since its launch in 2015, Ethereum has transformed from a niche experiment into a multi-billion dollar ecosystem that powers everything from art galleries to global financial systems.Beyond the Currency: The Magic of Sma...

Greetings to all those who celebrate Christmas. Zhipu and Minimax delighted fans with updated models such as GLM-4.7 and Minimax-M2.1 which show great results in early testing and bode very well for open source and open weight models. Andrej Karpathy ended the week with a banger of a post on X talking about the challenges programmers face today in unlearning old habits as well as keeping up with a much more complex mental model around tooling. Readers who think others in their family, friends...

This week I published a book! And I'm reflecting on my weekly blog practice.

Last year's story in one breath 2025 was the year Incented stopped being “an idea we were passionate about” and became something we could point to, run live, and trust under pressure. We started the year with outside validation, spent spring in a shipping frenzy, hit the summer with real users forcing real priorities, and ended the year with two things every platform eventually needs: a clearer philosophy and a bigger surface area (multi-chain, richer programs, deeper workflow). If there’s on...

Explore blockchain bridges: the critical infrastructure connecting isolated blockchains in Web3. Learn how lock-and-mint and liquidity pool models work, why interoperability matters for DePIN networks like Nodle, and the future of cross-chain composability.

ETHGas is a marketplace for Ethereum block-space commitments and tradable sequencing rights. It lets validators offer block-space commitments and sequence rights in advance (up to 64 slots ahead) via trading instruments such as “Whole Block” commitments, “Inclusion Preconfirmations”, and future “Execution Guarantees”. The platform aims to reduce latency (3 ms settlement claimed) and make gas costs more predictable and tradable. It targets multiple user groups: traders and mark...

ZM gm. Today feels quieter in the ZAO world in a good way. Less broadcast, more breathing room. Projects are still moving, conversations still humming, but the energy is reflective — like the system doing a soft recalibration instead of a hard push. I’ve been spending time with The Five Levels of Attachment, and it’s been sneaky in the best way. Not calling attachments “bad,” not asking for detachment cosplay — just inviting a shift in perspective.

Great literature has uncanny ability of summoning the past and holding it up as a mirror to our current reality.​ One night, I watched a fascinating movie. It was Fahrenheit 451, released by HBO on May 12, 2018. While the movie was released back then, the source material—a novel by American author Ray Bradbury—has been around since 1953. ​It’s a dystopian tale, though perhaps not as bleak as Orwell’s 1984. Through this story, Bradbury critiqued the American politics of the 1940s while flashi..
