Arbitrum's Long Term Incentives Pilot Program (LTIPP). We collect relevant data at a protocol level and review bi-weekly updates to analyze recipients, their strategies, and the impact of the incentives on high level growth metrics. In particular, we want to highlight outperformers and underperformers, and glean any best practices or lessons learned for protocols distributing ARB incentives in the future. The overarching goal is to synthesize lessons learned that the DAO can reference as it begins thinking about future incentives programs–namely, the working group for incentives that is being actively discussed–especially as Timeboost introduces new conditions for trading and economic activity.</p></div><div class="flex justify-start items-start self-stretch gap-1"><div class="flex justify-start

But when a few block builders dominate block building, that creates maximal value extraction that is suboptimal for the Ethereum end user.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo mitigate this, the Flashbots team announced today \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/SheaKetsdever/status/1861480598000304148\"\u003eBuilderNet\u003c/a\u003e, a new block building network designed to return more MEV and gas fees to users.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOperating alongside Nethermind and the same Beaverbuild, BuilderNet looks to split up the presently “monolithic process” of block building.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis division of labor would allow existing stakeholders such as block builders, searchers and dapps to join a “multioperator network” and concurrently run the same block builder together.

These include exclusive MEV revenue-sharing agreements \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/battle-for-wallet-supremacy\"\u003ebetween\u003c/a\u003e apps/wallets and block builders.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother way block builders have sought to capture greater MEV is vertical integration within the MEV supply chain. The \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/EvPENLZyE3g?t=1297\"\u003eTitan block\u003c/a\u003e builder, for instance, launched its own relayer back in April 2024 that only accepted its own blocks, thereby defeating the entire purpose of the offchain proposer-builder-separation (PBS) that Flashbots’ MEV-boost software introduced.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThough BuilderNet will primarily benefit the Ethereum L1 today, it eventually plans to be available for decentralized sequencing on L2s through \u003ca

Glover uses the Elliott Wave Theory, which is a technical analysis that uses previous price movements to predict future movements.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBasically, if we’ve carved out the high here at just below $100k (last Friday we saw it go as high as $99,800 before falling back) then he’s looking at $125,000. However — and this is the part that might make the big bulls sad — we might not see $100k breached this year.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eGlover said his “favorite” move right now (or the one that seems most likely to him) is that bitcoin’s “topped out at these levels, and we\u0026#8217;re going to drop back down to kind of $75,000 to $80,000 and then moving into next year, then we\u0026#8217;ll see that big rally.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is another scenario though where bitcoin quickly breaks $100k and climbs up to $125,000. If that happens, we could see the price top out at $160,000.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\"\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfrEV34PEeFrhs7JXfkO4-zlMK8Sbt5-kzFkseM0J0O-0AKusZUQxLh58hPErrwhiMEYU4OnPjIFswETXizV0PuMGtoW0i-DVere3ltB-O98pU8Hqz92rhZZLEshBKllQSxpykVTQ?key=OVrdQ2y3ay-pwL5cHIJIjqRq\" alt=\"\"/\u003e\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSource: Ledn\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Glover pointed out that he expects to see a decent amount of profit-taking. After all, we’ve seen a $20,000+ jump in bitcoin’s price in just the last few weeks \u003cem\u003ealone\u003c/em\u003e and it would be “typical … behavior when you\u0026#8217;ve had such a big move ahead of the real event.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“So we have the news event, which is [President-elect Donald] Trump getting in. Now the real event is Trump [taking office] and people will take profit ahead of that, waiting to see whether or not that\u0026#8217;s really going to change the regulatory stance of the US and push things forward,” he continued.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lack of a so-called real news event is also why announcements — like MicroStrategy buying up over $5 billion of bitcoin — didn’t move the needle.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBitcoin’s pause may be beneficial to the overall crypto environment though.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“We’re seeing a lot of switching from bitcoin into altcoins,” Glover noted.

Was it CNN or MTV News? It was MTV News,” Ricoy opined on a call this week.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eRicoy is the founder of Allmight, a new media startup focused on furthering the United States’ leadership in crypto. The initiative caught a nice boost from the recent US presidential election and a growing sense that a friendlier regulatory environment could drive crypto business back to the world’s biggest economy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllmight’s first product is “This Week in Crypto,” a late night talk-style show that summarizes crypto news with a punchy, irreverent bent. A couple of these videos have \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/TheRealRicoy/status/1845141583106036032\"\u003egarnered\u003c/a\u003e hundreds of thousands of views on X. He plans to expand Allmight’s content offerings, creating what he calls next-gen Americana — “low noise, high signal, and actually entertaining.” When I asked if Ricoy wants to become a sort of crypto version of Jon Stewart, he responded: “I would love that.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of monetizing content with ads and sponsorships, Allmight plans to host events and help in job placement for US-based candidates. It also hopes to boost awareness of policymakers\u0026#8217; efforts to legislate on crypto. Further down the road, it might even explore something like crowdfunded investment, Ricoy said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis was all in the works in the lead up to the US presidential election, but in the aftermath of a Trump win and presumably more crypto-friendly regulatory environment, Ricoy said he’s seen a “500% increase in interest and optimism” surrounding his project.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith crypto prices at record highs and crypto’s fear of US regulators seeming to abate, America’s crypto scene seems to be having a moment.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“I’m in the right place at the right time, and it’s pretty cool,” Ricoy said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eYears ago, Ricoy was running a construction labor company when he decided to found a crypto app. With the help of some developers, he launched an app to promote SoundCloud music with Kin, the cryptocurrency debuted by the messaging app Kik during crypto’s 2017 initial coin offering (ICO) boom. Kik liked the app and extended Ricoy an offer to become its head of communications.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eKin would spark a knock-down-drag-out fight with the SEC, and Kik messenger eventually shut down amid the legal battle. After some time working for Kin’s foundation, Ricoy joined the Solana Foundation as community relations manager, where he drove the launch of Solana’s community grants program. After a little over a year, Ricoy resigned to pursue Allmight.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllmight received a grant from the Solana Foundation, but Ricoy said he was clear that his mandate is to grow crypto outside of just Solana, and the foundation was supportive. I asked later in a text how Ricoy plans to grow a blockchain-agnostic crypto community in the US given all the sectarian fighting that seems to happen constantly between crypto ecosystems.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eRicoy said a rising tide can lift all boats, and noted how the Solana Foundation and Polygon Labs have worked together on policy in Washington, DC.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“[W]ho knows, maybe efforts like these can even help bridge communities and put a dent in the tribalism overall,” Ricoy

Crypto markets, of course, will trade through the holiday. But let’s take a look at how US equities typically perform this time of year and what we might see in the coming days.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, stocks do pretty well during Thanksgiving week. Since 1928, the S\u0026amp;P 500 has finished higher 60% of the time following the holiday. During presidential election years, returns are even more common; the index closes higher 75% of the time, with an average return of 0.88%, according to Bank of America Global Research.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nasdaq Composite, which debuted in 1971, has generally followed suit. Last year, the Nasdaq Composite ended Thanksgiving week 2.4% higher, building off of an already strong month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S\u0026amp;P 500 also closed the week ended Black Friday 2023 higher, posting gains of 1.9% and 2.2%, respectively.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquities were trending higher Tuesday while President-elect Donald Trump’s latest comments on his \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/unpacking-trump-potential-tariff-policies\"\u003etariff plans\u003c/a\u003e rocked global currency markets. Trump plans to implement 25% tariffs on all imports from Mexico and Canada, plus an additional 10% fee on goods coming from China, he said in a Tuesday Truth Social post. The Canadian dollar and Mexican peso both fell sharply against the dollar.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eMidway through Tuesday’s session, the S\u0026amp;P 500 was up 0.3% since the start of the week while the Nasdaq Composite was virtually flat.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eStocks were largely insulated from Trump’s comments — likely an indication that investors are going to hold off on making major trades until they have more information about what the Trump Administration might actually do after Inauguration Day. The S\u0026amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes were trending 0.4% and 0.5% higher, respectively, over the day at 2 pm ET.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the upward trend continues, stocks should end November well into the green. The S\u0026amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes are both up close to 5% since the first of the month.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eTomorrow’s economic reports should move markets, or at least expectations of an interest rate cut from the Fed come December. Initial jobless claims for the week ended Nov. 23 will drop at 8:30 am ET, followed by October’s PCE index at 10 am. Odds of a 25-basis point interest rate cut next month inched higher Tuesday, hitting 59% (compared with 52% a day ago), according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html\"\u003edata\u003c/a\u003e from CME Group.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s one and a half trading days (plus another hour in today’s session) left in the week.

Designed to address common issues with existing oracles, Lumina allows for data aggregation, verification and delivery across blockchains.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts architecture is distinguished from other oracle solutions such as \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/tag/chainlink\"\u003eChainlink\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/api3-oracle-data\"\u003eAPI3\u003c/a\u003e, given its support for multiple messaging protocols, compatibility with non-EVM chains and comprehensive data traceability.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreviously, access to oracle data’s origins and flow was often opaque, but Lumina offers full visibility into the entire process, according to Zygis Marazas, DIA’s head of product.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more:\u003c/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/chainlink-integration-bitcoin-l2-spiderchain\"\u003eChainlink brings data feeds to Bitcoin L2 Spiderchain\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Users can clearly see the entire data journey, from the source to the final price calculation,” Marazas told Blockworks. This approach aims to build trust in data reliability and accuracy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https://testnet-explorer.diadata.org/\"\u003etestnet\u003c/a\u003e, which went live today, will limit participation. However, the mainnet is scheduled for release in Q1 2025 and will operate as a fully permissionless network. In addition to nodes, new chains and assets that need oracles services can plug in without direct involvement from DIA’s team. This eliminates the need for manual onboarding processes.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“You can set up your own \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/tag/oracles\"\u003eoracles\u003c/a\u003e if you wish, completely permissionlessly,” Marazas explained. This functionality is expected to appeal to developers working on emerging \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/tag/rollups\"\u003erollups\u003c/a\u003e and specialized blockchain ecosystems, where speed and autonomy are critical.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis functionality should enable the long tail of assets to make their way into DeFi, Aiham Jaabari told Blockworks. Jaabari is the co-founder of Silo Finance, which uses DIA oracles.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Very few oracle providers provide data feeds beyond the blue chips — so that’s why we’re kind of excited about Lumina,” Jaabari said. “Technically speaking, you can actually create an oracle permissionlessly on a [layer-2] for really any token asset.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLumina’s architecture is designed to integrate a wide variety of data sources. By aggregating data from multiple origins, including blockchain networks and external APIs, Lumina ensures broad coverage and accuracy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026#8220;You can get data from any source — offchain or onchain — from the hundreds of feeds that exist right now in the market,\u0026#8221; said Marazas.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo enhance scalability, Lumina employs an OP Stack-based rollup, called Lasernet. For data availability, Lumina uses Celestia, making its rollup an optimium — the optimistic rollup equivalent of a validium.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more:\u003c/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/layer-2-secured-by-ethereum\"\u003eSo your layer-2 is ‘secured by Ethereum’ — what does that mean?\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarazas noted the team was impressed by Celestia’s \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/podcast/expansion/53c20360-7aed-11ef-863d-af4d23f15666\"\u003eroadmap to one gigabyte blocks\u003c/a\u003e, and considers the scaling benefits to outweigh the minor risk introduced by adding a dependence, a view in line with the broader modular trend.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Lumina is optimized for Ethereum rollups, it is also designed to support non-EVM ecosystems such as Cosmos and Move-based chains. It uses \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/podcast/expansion/be971a88-7d4d-11ef-a6f6-07431ef3d44f\"\u003eHyperlane\u003c/a\u003e as a cross-chain messaging protocol, but can work with other standards if needed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLumina’s flexibility extends further with support for both push and pull models of data delivery, allowing users to choose the approach that best suits their needs. “Some customers prefer [a] pull-based approach, where they can get prices on demand, but there are other cases where push-based [updates] can be more efficient,” he added.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, it’s the flexibility that Silo’s Jaabari sees as a selling point. “Having control over the oracle is as important as the feed itself because there’s no one methodology that fits all assets,” he said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eJaabari is also a fan of the layer-2 strategy, calling it “the cheapest way to process the data and make it available.”\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecentralization is a key part of Lumina’s roadmap. Although the testnet will initially rely on whitelisted data feeders, DIA plans to gradually open participation to anyone in 2025, introducing staking and slashing mechanisms to ensure data accuracy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“The vision of our protocol is that eventually it is going to run without the core team being involved,” said Marazas.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr

These systems play a vital role in navigation, safety and autonomous driving. Yet, their full potential is often untapped.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eNATIX Network, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) for collecting real-time geospatial data, is out with a new gadget that transforms a Tesla\u0026#8217;s existing camera system into a 360° dashcam that pays you for collected data.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe device, called VX360, aims to improve autonomous vehicles’ safety and introduce a variety of potential applications such as real-time mapping, property appraisal, insurance assessments and whatever else the market dreams up.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike synthetic simulation data, VX360 captures unpredictable real-world driving scenarios, often referred to as \u0026#8220;edge cases,\u0026#8221; such as sudden weather changes or unusual traffic patterns. Such data will help train autonomous vehicle AI.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy leveraging the DePIN model, NATIX hopes to incentivize Tesla drivers to share real-world footage while ensuring robust privacy and data control measures.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eVX360 taps into each Tesla\u0026#8217;s built-in cameras, using edge computing to process and anonymize footage at the source, according to CEO Alireza Ghods.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026#8220;The anonymization AI blurs personally identifiable information like faces and license plates but doesn’t alter the footage, so it retains its integrity,” Ghods told Blockworks. This ensures compliance with stringent privacy regulations. The footage is then uploaded directly to the cloud via Tesla\u0026#8217;s built-in connectivity or a paired mobile device.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“We’ve been refining anonymization AI since 2020, well before our pivot to NATIX Network, and open-source AI advancements have helped us build a high-performance stack for this,” Ghods said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eNATIX rewards Tesla drivers for sharing footage through \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/price/natix\"\u003eNATIX\u003c/a\u003e tokens, or for the non-Web3 crowd, incentives like gift cards and electronics discounts.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe trip recordings remain available for the car\u0026#8217;s owner to serve as a navigational reference or to aid insurance claims.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eGhods emphasizes the device\u0026#8217;s passive nature, predicting the hardware should pay for itself within about nine months.

So far, the VX360 has been tested with two additional car brands, Ghods said.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Our view on this is that car manufacturers are going away from building cars that are

Users are blocked from interacting onchain unless they hold a given blockchain’s native token. Want to use Ethereum? You’ll need ETH. On Solana? You’ll need SOL. Every network has its own currency.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore new adopters can engage with anything — be it a token transaction, an NFT mint or a decentralized app — they must navigate the process of obtaining and securely storing the proper native gas asset.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor seasoned crypto enthusiasts, this might feel like second nature. You, of course, are a tech savant. You’re reading a crypto publication and you probably learned how to go to an exchange, share your bank details, obtain a token, store it on a hardware wallet, connect to MetaMask, exchange it for another token that you’ll use to power your transaction…and so on \u003cem\u003ead nauseam\u003c/em\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more: \u003c/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/empire-newsletter-mass-adoption-as-priority\"\u003eIs mass adoption still crypto’s most important goal?\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd this is all fine if you’re using a blockchain for DeFi (for example). You don’t mind the learning curve if there’s a clear financial incentive.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut…for the next billion users? Do we really expect a billion Facebook users to jump into this tangle of counterintuitive technobabble and make it work? No. It’s not going to happen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe only way for our industry to move beyond the “early adopters” phase and start onboarding the “early majority” is to eliminate these barriers. We need to make this process as intuitive and simple as using the internet we’re looking to replace.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that means no more fees. Ever. Period.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eLooking back, fees served several critical functions in blockchain\u0026#8217;s early days. They acted as a deterrent to spam by requiring a small cost for each transaction, effectively discouraging malicious actors from overloading their respective networks with meaningless activity.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more from our opinion section: \u003c/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/slow-defi-infrastructure-curbs-mass-adoption\"\u003eDeFi’s slow infrastructure is holding back mass adoption\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time, fees provided miners with financial incentives to validate and secure transactions, ensuring the network’s integrity and sustainability, especially as block rewards decreased over time. Fees also allowed users to prioritize transactions during periods of high demand.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis framework was groundbreaking in its time, but that was nearly 16 years ago. With advances in blockchain technology and shifting user expectations, isn’t it time to rethink this outdated approach and explore what’s next?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo start with, we need to shift focus onto building apps that feel seamless and intuitive for users. Imagine a platform where users can engage freely — minting NFTs, sharing content or transacting — without ever needing to think about gas fees.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if apps operated on an entirely different financial model — one where developers could delegate the ability to transact to users, entirely eliminating fees and the need for tokens?\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve seen attempts to address this before; for instance, protocols that claim to be “feeless” by covering fees on behalf of users in a bid to win their loyalty. But such models are unsustainable. They depend on temporary funding or token incentives that distort the market, create reliance on artificial subsidies and inevitably deplete with time.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather, I\u0026#8217;m talking about a completely free-to-use model that doesn’t \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/the-future-of-web3-needs-zero-gas-fees\"\u003ecost anything at all\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a variety of ways a truly feeless blockchain network could be accomplished. One approach involves allocating network resources to users, which are consumed during transactions and automatically regenerate over time. Hardcoding this directly into the network would eliminate the need for users to pay fees directly while ensuring the network remains secure and efficient.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eOr perhaps more developers could focus on alternative consensus mechanisms, such as directed acyclic graph (DAG) structures, where users validate each other’s transactions without relying on miners or traditional fees.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRead more:\u003c/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https://blockworks.co/news/ethereum-consensus-beam-chain\"\u003eRethinking Ethereum consensus with Beam Chain\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless of the path taken to get there, our end goal should be an ecosystem where developers can build apps that look and feel just like the ones the uninitiated use every day — intuitive, seamless and free of unnecessary friction.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeb3 was never supposed to change the world for a few million crypto enthusiasts. It was supposed to make digital life better for everyone. But instead of tackling the root of Web3’s dysfunction, successive protocols have doubled down on the fallacious assumption that fees are an unavoidable necessity.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile these challenges continue to hinder mainstream adoption for now, the tides appear to be changing. And I\u0026#8217;m pretty sure that in a few years, the idea of paying to use a blockchain will seem as antiquated as the landline.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator
