New mev-boost relays, Uniswap NFT aggregator & more - The Daily Gwei Refuel #498 - Ethereum Updates

Transcript

hello everyone and welcome to another episode of The Daily way refuel where we cup the latest news in ethereum ecosystem I'm your host Anthony sassano and since the first of December 2022 alright everyone let's get into it so I came across this tweet today from the ethereum on arm Twitter account here basically saying you can now run a full slash archive slash staking ethereum node for less than 400 and they break down the hardware that they've used to achieve this here so I've gone over similar setups before and I just I actually discussed this board uh the other day but basically this is the rock 5B board the 16 gigabyte Edition uh and they all these prices are in US Dollars that costs 189 uh the acrylic case with a passive heat sink is only 13 a two

terabyte SSD is 140 micro SD eight dollars ethernet cable six dollars power supply nine dollars for a total cost of 365 dollars so obviously less than 400 there uh and they also link to all these parts that you can check out for yourself as well but this is awesome I mean I've often talked about how the reason why ethereum is so limited at the base layer is because we keep it that way in order to make it so that people can run full and archive nodes and validators on low level hardware and and I've said before consumer grade Hardware but I mean this is below consumer grade right this is this is considered low level Hardware here or I guess like a below consumer grade Hardware because uh you know realistically things like this they

can do certain tasks really well but I mean they're not going to replace a a home PC for a lot of people who do more demanding tasks but the point is is that to run a full archive node and to run it's taking validators isn't actually that demanding I think the biggest requirement is probably that SSD right I mean you can see there that odd that on a whole bunch of cost to it because you can't use a hard drive uh which I I think you know to be funny the fun the thing is the ssds are either just as cheap or cheaper than hard drives these days and used to be the case that they weren't I remember I used to I remember actually when it was over like a dollar per a gigabyte for a um SSD and now and this was an nvme SSD this is like the

first ssds I remember back a long time ago when I was first buying them how expensive they were and now they're just Dirt Cheap so I think that because of that like it obviously brings down the cost of of running validators on ethereum running nodes on ethereum and all that good stuff there uh but the fact you can run it on a low powered uh you know less than consumer grade device here is awesome and the footprint's so tiny look at the thing it's it's tiny right I mean we don't obviously have any scale here but if you know how small a Raspberry Pi is then it's basically the same size so just a great tweet that I wanted to highlight something you guys might be interested in checking out I'll obviously link this in the YouTube description below I haven't got one of these I mean I've got a bunch of

raspberry pies that I could set up a full node on uh I think I did that like a few months ago and then I just let it kind of sit there and I don't think it's running right now um I don't even think it's plugged in I have like a um a hobby Workshop in my uh in my study here where I just build a bunch of different things and play around with them but as with any hobby related things you know the projects kind of go by the wayside when something more interesting comes along but maybe I'll get back to that and report my findings there with the Raspberry Pi's on running full nodes and maybe even running a validator on it we'll see right but yeah just wanted to highlight that for you guys it'll be linked in the YouTube description below all right just a reminder here that the

Robson test net is shutting down uh several infrastructure providers and validators have already stopped supporting the network and uh Tim says here that we expect the remaining ones to turn off their notes in the coming weeks and there's a full announcement that you can check out on the blog post which was uh which is a new blog post that was just posted I mean it's very very short you can go check that out but yeah if you are using robsten either as a developer or a validator or running any infrastructure around it just know that it's pretty much getting completely shut down within the next few weeks and it is not going to be used anymore we have two other great test Nets that you continue to use which is sapolia and girly and they are obviously proof of stake testnets as well they went through

the merge transition before mainnet so yeah just wanted to give a highlight for you guy oh sorry reminder for you guys on that one all right so Tomas from the nethermine team put out a link to a sedge today which I think I've covered on the refill before but sedge is basically this uh piece of software that allows you to have a one-click setup tool for uh proof of stake network uh and chain validators So currently said you've designed primarily for solo stakers and test net devs of ethereum sedge generates Docker compose scripts and the entire for the entire on-premise validator setup based on the chosen client now this the reason why I'm highlighting this today is one I mean I saw Thomas tweet about it again but also I had a similar experience over

the last 48 hours with a similar tool which is the rocker pool a node stack uh smart node stack I should say so I spun up my first rocker pull mini pool which isn't active yet there's a 12 hour waiting period from when you deposit um when you do the deposit and create the smart contract I think from time of recording it should be active in three hours from now hopefully I'm still awake by then I had to see it go live there um but I do want to talk a little bit about this so but that's why I also highlighted this from Tomas which I'll link in the YouTube description below because this is for solo stakers um whereas what I played around with today is obviously for the rocketpool network so I want to give High Praise to the rockapool community for producing

such an awesome piece of software and an awesome documentation uh kind of archive to go along with that software I followed the documentation completely I didn't do anything on my own I was like you know what I'm going to follow the docs I'm going to see where they take me see if I run into any issues maybe I can be helpful if I do run into any issues um but I didn't everything was really straightforward now obviously I have a lot of experience with solo staking and some of that translated over but the smart node stack itself I mean it does share a lot of the same Concepts obviously because it's still staking ethereum but it has its own things you know it has its own interface it has its own command line options it has its own um grafana dashboard uh and and things

you can monitor on there that are that are relevant to Rocket pool and the documentation went through all of that like not once reading the docs was I actually thinking to myself well you know something's missing here or I wish you know they clarified that better I wish they did this bit uh and it was just a really seamless experience so for anyone thinking of spinning up a rock-a-pull mini pool I mean I highly recommend doing it as I said it's a seamless experience it I didn't run into any issues myself they've obviously spent a lot of time are they being the rockapole community and and the core team have spent a lot of time honing you know and and refining the whole experience from the software itself to the documentation so I highly recommend uh checking it out there now I will say that I even though I didn't run into a

snag there was something that I caught I guess like post making the deposit so I I actually covered this the other day um So currently right now because there's two uh there's uh there's a premium on re there's an Arbitrage opportunity where essentially if you don't use uh the rocket ARB software which was developed by rockapole Community member you can check that out uh the in the Discord Channel there's more information about that the rockapool Disco channel uh if you don't use that you just do a vanilla deposit which is what I did an Mev bot will take the ab opportunity from you so basically I think I missed out on a little bit of eth of of profits by not doing it myself and someone else got it because of my deposits uh so just keep that in mind if you do spin up a mini pool that you need

to if you want if you don't want an Mev bot to take your you know your um the premium essentially or the app that you could be doing Yourself by spitting up the mini pool uh definitely check out rocket R but you can find that in the rockapole Discord Channel but that's something that wasn't in the docs and I suggested to uh the community that they should be that should have that then I also pinged uh one of the one of the team and said hey it would be awesome if there was a note here on the documentation that said when our AP is at a premium there is an Arbitrage opportunity and if you don't use this rocket ARB software uh you'll most likely be front run by an Mev Bots or you pretty much will be run by an MAV bot and lose out on that profit

opportunity now this doesn't mean that I lost anything um I just lost out on taking advantage of that premium at least that's my understanding of it any rocker people please you know feel free to correct me on that but that's my understanding of it uh but yeah as I said waiting still patiently another few hours to go till my annuity is activated and then I'll be able to be officially on the rockapool network as as a validator there and another reason why I'm spinning up this mini pool now of course is because I'm I can I'm um part of the next uh a set of odar members being considered to be sorry part of the next set of uh of members being considered to be added to the Odell uh for for rocketport obviously you need to be running a mini pool for that so so yeah there it's it's

all spun up it's all well and good just waiting for it to activate now but as I said just massive kudos to the rocketball community for what they've built here I hope more people use it I want to see rocker pools dominance on the network go above two percent I would love to see it go up to 10 hopefully we can get there with withdrawals enabled you know maybe people say okay well maybe they don't have enough for solar staking but you only need 16 East to set up a mini pool um and I'm talking pure solo staking so rocket pull mini pool is the next best thing so if you do have 16 eighth uh then and obviously you need to you need to bond a bit of RPL as well I think it's uh the minute the I think the minimum right now is 127 RPL uh which

isn't nothing it's it's you know it's a couple Grand or just above that at current prices uh uh but you know that plus the 16 8 is less than the 3280 would require to do solid staking so if you don't have that if you have the RPL and the 16th you can go ahead and spin up your own mini pool uh but just remember you need to use the rocket ARB software because if you don't you're going to lose out on a potential uh profit opportunity from that as well all right so Remy Roy here from the eat steak Community has put out a tweet thread describing a new ethereum test net project called ephemery I think that's how you pronounce it uh it has the goal of creating a test net that is ephemeral ephemeral ephemery yeah I

think I'm saying that right and that resets every few days or weeks uh our goal is to create a test net that is well suited for testing and staking setup before going on mainnet but also for any use case that does not need a long-lived and durable storage we're looking for Genesis node operators testers who want to set up different client pairs people to create and help documentation and developers who want to start implementing this in ethereum clients uh wallets and all tools generally used within the ethereum network with within ethereum Network you can get a glimpse of the current iteration of the fmri test net on this URL here so I'll link this in the YouTube description below if you want to reach out to Remy reach out to the ephemery uh Builders here and get involved with this but I think this is

great uh there are obviously the two test cents that I mentioned before that are already live for paulion girl in I mean robson's still live as well but uh uh we you know we lost um oh man the name eludes me right now we lost the other test net uh or it will shut down um uh uh not too long ago oh man could be ring could be that's what it's called I'm pretty sure ring could be shut down I haven't heard anyone talk about in a while uh but you know that one got shut down Robinson's getting shut down we have the two long-lived one which is Napoleon girly I don't think we need more than more than two long-lived ones right um and now with this with ephemery they're trying to be a short-lived one where you can basically just test things out and it keeps being uh kind of like

reset okay and and it's not like you build something on there and it's going to be there in maybe a week it'll just be there for a few days couple days whatever and it's just a good way to test short-lived things so yeah definitely go check this out I'll link Remy's a tweet thread in the YouTube description uh below all right some massive news in the Mev boost world we have two more credibly neutral relays that just launched and by credibly neutral I mean of course uncensored or non-censoring relayers so this one of them comes from uh gnosis Adele and the other one comes from ultrasound.money so you can check out these relays at agnostic-relay.net which is the gnosis Dell relay and relay.ultrasound.money which is obviously the ultrasound.money

relay the reason I'm so excited about this is because as I said guys the one of the main things to help with the I guess like censorship uh issues that have sprung up because of Mev is for there to be more relayers and of course in addition to that to be more Builders now the builder stuff will get better over time especially now that the um the the Builder software is open source uh and and everyone can kind of look at that and build it and and modify it to their hearts content but also like the real the additional relay is being spun up is just as important as well here so I'm super excited to see these two new ones uh spun up here and you can point your validators to them if you are using Mev boost um you know people have been asking me

lately about this and about why I don't run Mev boost on my validators at all like not even like the non-censoring um relays I am running Mev boost I will be running it on my rocketpool mini pool because I feel like I I should do that because the um the rewards go to you know everyone go to the community I don't want to be the the guy who says no I'm not going to run Mev boost on on my rocketpool mini pool uh but with my actual solo validators the reason I don't run it and and obviously I wouldn't run the sensored relayers I'd only run the uncensored ones but the reason I don't run it at all I mean there's two reasons the the first reason is that I think and this is my own personal definition and I don't try to push this on anyone but if you want to

be a true solo Staker on the network you need to be building your own blocks right and by running Mev boost you aren't building your own blocks you you are Outsourcing that to a third party now why is this an issue or why do I think that well so that's the first reason and then the second reason is is that even though these relays say they're not censoring now you know there's no way for me to know that if they're going to change their rules from underneath me and not tell anyone and then you know unless I'm monitoring it day to day and then a block gets produced using uh you know I I'm part of building a block that contained you know or at least was um was censoring uh on the network I don't want to be a part of that at all so from that perspective

they're two very ideological driven decisions from me and maybe I'll change my mind in the future around it but people will say well you're missing out on like a lot of rewards by not running Mev boost and it's like okay yeah I am but like I don't care like I'm not a profit maximalist like honestly I run validators purely because I want to help the network and I'm not selling my eighth anyway because I just love stacking Ethan I think that you know me having my eighth obviously gives me a you know a massive buy-in into ethereum as well and allows me to to be part of ethereum success but I'm not profit Maximus to the point where I'm like oh I need to I need to really like optimize how much yield I'm getting on my validators I need to run all the Mev uh

boost uh relays and even the censoring ones and I need to scrounge up this and I need to optimize my gas uh for this and it's optimize my rewards here like I'm not I'm not like that I don't I've never been one to min max things yes of course I optimize things here and there I optimize it so my valid editors run flawlessly and they have you know pretty much 100 uptime uh uh what at least the new ones do what my first one uh for those of you who know uh was actually not running very well for for quite a while there but the the newer ones that I spun up definitely I try to like uh you know make sure they've had 100 uptime since I spun them up but yeah that's just my own personal decision and I really want to stress that uh I I

don't I don't knock anyone for running Mev boost relays at all like you should do that I mean it's part of the network I mean if if we don't want it part of the network then we have to enshrine it with PBS and then we have to work to eliminate as much Mev as possible but the Mev booth software has actually been a massive positive for ethereum without it Mev would have concentrated and centralized completely and it would have been I think really bad for the ethereum network if that was to happen so the software is net positive and if you and even if you are running it with regulated uh relays I mean I'm not going to knock you for that either you can do what you want at the end of the day like it's your validator right it's your it's who you choose to go with and if you're

Outsourcing your staking to a third party whether that be through uh liquid staking or otherwise uh again like I mean is it you're already Outsourcing your your staking UH responsibilities you're not going to care about if it's using regulated or unregulated um a relay CR or maybe you do and you want to withdraw from that entity but you don't want to take the discount you're waiting for withdrawals to to be enabled and all that stuff there so yeah if you are a solo Staker and you do run Mev boost and you do run the censored relays I would suggest setting the Min fee to 0.05 eighth right as I suggested from flashbotter's blog post last week they put out just because it's like it really helps the network and and the justification obviously was given in the blog post that your APR would only drop

by I think point two percent or something like that which is basically nothing so unless you're a pure profit maximalist and point two percent is is really going to make a massive difference for you then fair enough don't put that flag in but if yeah you want still want to run on the censored relays because you want to you know you want to get as much profit as as possible uh but then you're willing to to forego you know point two percent so you can help the network out with that then then do that but if you don't want to run a censored relay at all you've got that option as well and now you have two new relays here uh to to go along with that too with the agnostic relay and the ultra sound relay now on the topic of Mev boost and the topic of how a lot of things

have been coming out over the last few months since the ofax sanctions to help with censorship hazu uh quote tweeted Jimmy ragosa today who also noticed that the Mev uh boost censorship is on a downward tractory trajectory here seems to have peaked at 79 and he's has been on a clear downtrend uh maybe he watches the refill I don't know uh but basically he pointed that out and then hazu quote tweeted this and and said uh you know the things that are enabling this are more neutral relays coming online such as the ones I just spoke about adoption of that minimum bid uh which is uh from the blog post that flashbots put out that I also just talked about and existing relays accepting submissions from external Builders which is also very important because if the relays are not accepting submissions from external Builders there could still be a

censorship Vector there and as hazu says this should make this chart look quite different over time and I've discussed this a lot where I basically said that you know some flashbots and block Nate even Eden and whatever shutting down their censoring relays wouldn't actually uh be a long-term solution it's a Band-Aid solution the long-term Solutions are all the things that we've seen come out over the last few months and the things that will come in the future as well I mean we didn't even I think the the adopt the Min bid thing the 0.058 Min bid thing was only uh looked at post sanctions I don't think that had been looked at before then so we're coming up with even newer ways that no one's even thought of before uh because of these sanctions so I I've said it a few times I'll say it again

the sanctions seem to be a blessing in disguise here for ethereum censorship resistance um and on that note the last thing I wanted to talk about was a new blog post from Chris Hager here he works at flashbots which is actually a technical guide and knowledge base for running Mev boost relay at scale so it includes the major learnings from operating the flashbots relay uh which is obviously going to be very useful for people that want to build uh similar tools as well so build Builders and and things like that so again this is another I guess thing that helps with censorship resistance uh you know as a second order effect because it lets people uh develop better builders unless it will be more competitive and hopefully uh gets people building things that are non-censoring uh yeah

all right moving on so hot protocol had a big November uh month here so not just but for hot but for the industry at large as they say yeah uh one thing is certain trustless bridging trustless bridging infrastructure has never been more important than today today in total users bridged 158 million dollars in volume uh this month or in you know the month of November a 60 increase over the previous month what bear Market guys seriously like when I look at the growth of layer twos which Bridges obviously play a big part in um I'm I'm looking at that I'm like this isn't this isn't a bear Market this does this doesn't look like it's going through a bear Market at all it's growing it's growing and I've shown the metrics uh the other day on that dashboard about how much it's growing

um and people are getting excited about it uh there are some with tokens there are some without tokens so it's not just people uh people farming airdrops right like I mean I know optimism is going to do a second airdrop sometime in the future but like there is not much details around that and I doubt many people are farming that obviously with arbitrim since people assume they're going to do a token people are farming potentially farming that but I honestly I don't think there's too much of that going on necessarily I think people are getting real value out of a lot of the apps on these networks uh and on arbitrim for instance I hear about a lot of apps on there um people talk about GMX a lot I've seen uh that get quite quite a lot of usage and then all the apps that we

know and love are already from ethereum mainnet being ported to to these networks uh and and all that sort of stuff I've seen it talked about a lot and it's not just people trying to farm the airdrop I mean obviously there is a portion of that I'm not going to deny that but we're seeing real organic growth on these things which is just amazing to see so yeah great to see the growth of hot protocol as well I mean hop already has a token they've already done their airdrop too so again this is organic stuff this isn't actually you know I mean there's always see token incentives and things like that but this isn't people farming an airdrop here because as far as I know hop hasn't announced any plans to do a second air drop so very cool to see this organic growth of their protocol

all right moving on to a little thread from coinbase CR or coinbase wallet I should say they've said here as more and more users opt for self-custody coinbase wallet remains dedicated to shipping great features from new test Nets to free web free usernames let's dive into what launched in November and this is basically an update thread on what they launched in November such as claiming your free web 3 username doing more with your wallet uh transaction previews multi-chain without the pain more to explore with nfts and other similar things uh polygon Mumbai and optimism girly test net four sets uh and new dap Integrations and I mean you can check all this out I'll link the thread in the YouTube description but I mean coinbaseball it is is fast becoming one of the or has

become one of the best mobile wallets out there especially for the normies right um because I think that that it has the coinbase brands or automatically people are going to be like okay well you know I want to use this because it has the coinbase brand I trust it I know coinbase is a is a trusted entity in the in this ecosystem and if they're in the US especially they're probably like oh well you know I I bought my crypto using coinbase I'll just download coinbase follow it and use that and it is self-custody it's not custody by coinbase which I think is extremely important because coinbase is promoting this themselves there's not a lot of exchanges that will promote this to their users uh whereas coinbase is because they I think see the bigger picture they see the 10-year timeline here of the fight taking over uh and

self-custody taking over and on-chain stuff taking over and then coinbase wants to be at the center of that they don't want to just seed all the market share to on-chain things they want to actually be able to capture that value through a wallet which I think is very very important because wallets are that front door so if you can capture the value via a wallet and capture the users via a wallet then then any loss of market share on the I guess like centralized exchange side in coinbase's case can be make up made up for in a wallet so yeah very cool to see this from coinbase wallet all right a big announcement from uni swap nfts are now live on the platform starting today you can trade nfts across major marketplaces to find more listings and better prices and they also air dropped five million dollars of usdc to

historical Genie users I believe the airdrop was 300 or something per user so obviously not the not the big airdrops that we were used to in the bull market but something nonetheless and they're also offering gas rebates to the first 22 000 buyers now you may be wondering what this is exactly well it is an nft aggregator so unisop isn't launching their own Marketplace for nfts they are aggregating them so they they're aggregating all these nfts from major marketplaces including openc x2y2 pseudo swap looks rare and more and you'll get the right widest range of nfts at the best prices by going to unisop's nft interface this isn't surprising at all they launched this considering that they acquired Genie which was the nft

aggregator uh that that um that unisop is obviously uh deploying this uh off the back of um but you know I think this is this is like really big because unisop has the brand right has the awareness it has the trust it has the um the existing user base that would already be into nfts if they're irregular users of unisop because they're used to kind of like trading tokens and things like that because nfts are tokens too obviously um not just I mean I meant erc20 tokens right so they're going to leverage all of that and I can't imagine I I mean I can easily imagine nft nft unusual becoming a be very big if not the biggest uh I guess like Marketplace for nfts even though they aren't aggregator so they're not the marketplace

themselves they're probably going to become that front door that portal for all of these different marketplaces so so yeah it's going to be cool to see how that growth uh kind of plays out over time uh but yeah massive announcement from unisop today you can go check it out I'll link their little thread in the YouTube description below all right so I'll walk you here uh put together a little tweet thread today uh titled the green pill thesis where he says there is trillions of dollars being spent on public goods annually what if regen web 3 could allocate the capital better so I've talked about I I think I've talked about a Rookie's green pill thesis before and he talks about this a lot on his podcast that's hosted by bankless but basically he wants to use regenerative Finance or that concept of

regenerative finance that gitcoin has been using and other public goods uh initiatives in ethereum have been using and apply that to allocating Capital better uh outside of crypto now I highlighted the other day that gitcoin was working with uh I got a couple of things organization but it was a UNICEF they're working with UNICEF to fund things via that and that's obviously a non-crypto thing and what he's trying to take this even further he's like okay well how many how much dollars are being spent on public goods annually 10 trillion dollars uh and and uh apparently this is spent on public goods in 2021 in the us alone so not just not globally in the US uh alone so I mean globally it's gonna probably be a lot more than that and then his green pill

green pill thesis has a you know he's got a short thread here describing this with a bunch of Graphics uh web3 and he says web3 provides a better coordination substrate for deployment of capital to fund public goods and then he's got his graphic here which you can read I'll link this in the YouTube description below for you to give a read to but basically you know he says for example Legacy institutions for supporting public goods are opaque you know you don't really have much visibility of what's going on there but with web 3 it provides a better coordination substrate because it's transparent uh Legacy public goods is unaccountable and it's very hard to get accountability here the people that are that hold them accountable are usually governments and governments can be corrupt and as I said it's opaque uh whereas um using ethereum there's an uncraftable base layer that

you can use you can set it up and automate it via smartphone contracts Legacy institutions are inefficient I mean I don't have to describe that obviously they are whereas web 3 can be much more efficient it's programmable we can make smart contracts uh basically take away all that inefficiency and obviously with Legacy institutions it's often centralized whereas with web 3 and ethereum it's permissionless and decentralized and there's other Graphics here that you can check out I'm not going to talk too much about this but you you can check this out I'll link it in the YouTube description below but I just wanted to highlight this for you guys because this is definitely something that I'm passionate about and I think a lot of you are too all right so uh Kaza or Casa are here I I don't know how I think this is Kaza um

which has traditionally been a Bitcoin custody solution for a long time now and they also used to make little uh little Bitcoin node boxes with I believe uh Raspberry Pi is a little mini PCS I don't think they do that anymore but they announced today that they will be supporting ethereum alongside Bitcoin with khazar starting in January and they'll be rolling out a new app design uh to support this now this is really cool because I've heard good things about cars as a as a um as a custody solution are from people in the Bitcoin Community but the hilarious thing is is that if you go to the quote tweets on this and you read the replies all the Bitcoin maximalists they're pretty much trying to cancel this company saying I'm never using your product again you know

you're not Bitcoin owner anymore you're you're embracing coins or you're embracing unregulated Securities which is also always bizarre to me that they always use the unregulated security thing it's like Bitcoin is being status simps that they're always not they'll always be bizarre to me but anyway um just if you want to get some entertainment you can read the replies and read the quote tweets here because this is what happens when these I guess like traditionally Bitcoin only and Bitcoin Maxi companies so to speak uh go and Branch out um they get canceled by these I guess purists by these Loyalists and I think that's the wrong way to go about it of course like I'm not gonna like for example I was talking about yesterday about how uh you know maybe metamask will support Solana I'm not gonna if metamask announced that I'm not gonna go

to minimize and be like are you guys shouldn't support salon know what is this blah blah like I don't care they can support whoever they want uh businesses can do whatever they want metamask is a business at the end of the day right they make money from metamask through the swap feature um but but yeah I mean not to take away from the announcement here but I just thought that was a funny thing to highlight but great to see uh cars are branching out I think you know Bitcoin only businesses never made sense uh and I think that a lot of people trying to cancel them are definitely probably not even users of Kazar so so yeah I'm excited to see what they have in store for us for the ethereum community in January yeah all right so there was a new layer 2 announced yesterday and I hadn't heard

of this until it was announced it's called mantle Network and they're building themselves as a high performance ethereum layer 2 network with modular design low fees and high security they say Mantle's unique architecture will power the next generation of hyperscale Dubs and accelerate the massive option of web free technology buzzwords Galore there right but I figured I'd just read it out for you guys um but not much more information on them right now apparently this is a product of the bit Dao Community which is a bit weird because the bitdial community also uh committed 200 million dollars worth of funds to ZK sync so like is mantle supposed to be a competitor to ZK sync or a compliment like it's a bit confusing right that was my first thought and then my second thought is also that the L2 space is getting crowded now and this is what I love to

see remember I said to you guys that we're not going to see many l1s launching anymore but we are going to be seeing more and more l2s launching well we are I mean it's it's happening slowly but it's happening and in the L2 space really is getting crowded because I do believe these General L2 platforms there's not going to be that many winners but like the our specific ones like the app chain stuff is different but in terms of the generalized platforms there's only going to be a handful of winners and it really is becoming crowded but this is amazing it means there's more competition they're going to get more iterations more research more development happening and it's going to lead to a better experience for all of us so I'm really happy that mantle network has announced themselves and exists but I would love

to learn more about them which you can on there on their uh their website uh here but there I don't think there's that much detail yet uh there there is obviously um a bunch of uh marketing speak and obviously what you do on a website here uh with a roadmap as well um I don't know if I saw a white paper or anything on here maybe there is and I just haven't seen it no I mean there's a career section and stuff like that as well and there's a developers uh yeah in in the career section here and then if I click learn more is there an is there a white paper uh yeah there's like a blog post I guess but yeah not too much details yet but still something to keep an eye on that's for sure um but great to see another layer to

join The Fray just wanted to put that on your radar and I'll keep up to date with this of course for you guys all right last up here we have a partnership between superfluid and cryptocurrency jobs just and and you guys know that I'm an investor in superfluid and I've been good friends with Daniel who runs cryptocurrency jobs for a while so just disclosures there but super fluid says starting today you can create and browse job postings on cryptocurrency jobs that pay in salary streams enabling instant access to your funds no payment delays and frictionless transfers so uh that's what superfluid enables obviously and you can kind of check out the uh the positions here as I as uh cryptocurrency job section where it says uh jobs that stream uh uh pay in crypto and these are the jobs that do it

there's not that many jobs right now that are doing that and have announced that they're doing it I think there's only two uh that you can see here both at coin shift but if you click through to it uh and you and I think if you go down to I don't know where it is exactly on the page here but basically I'm sure it's somewhere uh no I don't know where it is actually I'm not gonna spend too much time on that but this is the section that you want to be going to jobs at stream to pay in crypto which is uh and uniquely enabled by superfluid and if you are someone who who is looking uh for for a job that streams uh that that streams via super fluid here you can check out these but also if you are an employer and you want to post a

job to cryptocurrency jobs and you are planning to do streaming salaries then this is the the section to do it it's not very crowded right now so you you know obviously normally things get pretty crowded on these uh on these jobs websites but you can stand out by doing this so that's a competitive advantage that's for sure at least for hiring so cool to see this little partnership here uh and yeah congrats to both of the teams here on on uh doing this but I think on that note that's going to be it for today so thank everyone for listening and watching be sure to subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet give the video a thumbs up subscribe to newsletter join the Discord Channel and I'll catch you all tomorrow thanks everyone
