How much of the financial industry's revenue comes from being a necessary intermediary? Payment processors take 2-3% of every card transaction. Remittance companies take 6%+. Brokers charge commissions. Banks earn spread. Clearinghouses charge fees. Custodians charge for holding your assets. You're paying for access to a system that requires middlemen by design. Onchain finance removes most of them. A swap is peer-to-protocol. A transfer is wallet-to-wallet. Custody can be self-sovereign. Paying fees is optional. The total revenue of financial intermediaries globally is measured in trillions per year. That's the TAM for onchain finance. We're at maybe 1% penetration.

I spent the last 2 weeks diving deep into trading agents I built so many of them that it made sense to build this... A scaffolding tool for building trading agents It's very experimental but it comes with wallets, tools and x402 integrations Built on LangChain & Base 🦜 🟦

After aggressive scaling last year, the Base Chain team is focused on reliability right now. One of the metrics we watch is "empty blocks built," as symptom of sequencer instability we sometimes see during periods of high demand. Recently it's the lowest it's been in ~1 year 🥳

The best builders are often the ones who are slightly embarrassed by their current product. It means they got it out early and they can already see what it should be.

This is a big deal: @AskVenice is the default model for @openclaw This is because of their privacy first inference approach Why this is interesting? @steipete (OpenClaw creator) has been very vocal about crypto people and the so called "trenchers" giving him a hard time and direct negative impact on one of the most exciting projects of the past years. I've been struggling to defend "crypto" and the whole speculation system around it after seeing his experience from outside our bubble Venice is showing how crypto / blockchain ethos use cases can still co exists and add value to the world. Starting the week with a high note From open claw official docs 👇
