‘East of Eden’ by John Steinbeck is one of my favourite recent reads.

Today, we have many L1 Blockchains like $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $AVAX etc. Users might have multiple assets across multiple chains, but they will not be able to leverage them across all chains. Moving assets across chains is tough. Here’s how bridges solve for interoperability👇🧵

Rollups are the talk of the town - they’re one solution to scaling the $ETH blockchain to process more Transactions (Tx) per Second. Here’s how Rollups work, and why they’re important: 👇🧵

Here’s the thing: L1s like Bitcoin and Ethereum are slow. Bitcoin currently processes about 5 Transactions (Tx) a second. On the other hand, Visa does 24000 Tx / sec. How can crypto ever outperform traditional money? Here’s how Bitcoin scales with the Lightning Network👇🧵

Ever wondered how Web3 companies raise money through token sales when the network isn’t even ready? They raise it through SAFTs - Simple Agreement for Future Tokens. Let’s do a breakdown of why we need SAFTs and how they work 👇🧵

Zero Knowledge Proofs have a real application in the crypto world. They can be used for Rollups, Private Transactions, and a lot more. ZK Proofs that work on the blockchain are a special type called SNARKs. Let’s do a deep dive into what ZK Snarks are and how they work: 👇🧵

You might have heard of ZK-Rollups, ZK transactions in the crypto space. The ZK there stands for Zero Knowledge Proofs. Here’s what it means - a thread 👇🧵

I read through the Synthetix Protocol (synthetix.io). It’s a protocol enabling the creation of synthetic derivatives based off real-world assets on the blockchain today. It’s purpose is only speculative trading. Thought it was cool. Here’s what they do 👇🧵

I am in the prime of my life. Literally, and mathematically. 24 can be represented as 2 * 2 * 2 * 3, all primes. Though this is a bit of a cheat. All numbers can be represented as a product of primes. So I can confidently claim that, mathematically, I am always in my prime.

Faust was an erudite man - a scholar. He was a voracious learner. And so when he met the devil, the devil offered him all the knowledge of the world. For the meager cost of his soul. This is the Faustian bargain. It is supposed to be a warning tale for the ambitious who may give up their morality or humanity for a goal.
