In a space full of uninspired copies @yapsterxyz represents a fresh take.
@pchopra28 and I have been lucky enough to follow @SalvinoArmati, the builder behind Yapster, though many iterations. The insights were too good to keep to ourselves, so we hit record on a product walkthrough with him.
He shares how he thinks about the product, gameloops, invites, and how the Yapster team is iterating now.

Got very lucky to get FOLIO #64 tonight... over a year after visiting Bright Moment in person where I was lucky to have @mattdesl explain the work to me in person.
had a super fun time visiting @brtmoments in London... got to chat with @mattdesl about his process and how he put together the awesome terminal system for FOLIO. This was probably the best execution of the *interactive* potential of gen art I've experienced yet.

We’ve been hard at work on the Metalayer for the past 6 months.
There have been tons of advances im ETH interop, but so far its way too hard for chains to take advantage (which protocol? Which settlement? How do I get liquidity)
Now, interop is turnkey
🌋 The future of rollup interoperability is here.
Introducing the Metalayer by Caldera: seamless, intent-based bridging for 100+ rollups, settling in seconds, not minutes.

Having trouble deciding if your project should deploy an app-specific rollup? Us too... so I wrote an dApp developer-focused guide about how we think about it in this week's @slowburnxyz - the crypto newsletter from @crabbylions @caro_cline & @lessin.

What if you could sign Seaport listings or DEX trades with Face ID (perhaps within the shiny new PWA you just installed)?
Arbitrum Stylus unlocks a new way to make this possible
Today is Arbitrum Day
Last year we took one giant leap with the launch of Arbitrum Nitro.
Today we’re excited to announce that we are taking another big leap with the release of the code and public testnet for Arbitrum Stylus. 🖊👇

if you're a vc with an ens in your bio, but your last txn was > 18 months ago, i suggest you:
a - remove from your bio
b - make a txn
c - don't tweet about being a crypto-native vc whenever tokens pump

If you read the @spencerapplebau drift thesis it lays out pretty clearly why interop/shared state can matter for derivatives dexs. HL doesn’t yet have options, but does support spot on top of perps. The most contrarian thing there is poor support for bridged assets.

Michelle invited me to play around with Warp a few weeks ago, and since then everyone else on our team has been jealous over zoom. The execution is killer.
👋 Personal update: 1 year ago, I joined a stealth startup as an engineer...today, we go out of stealth.
Introducing Warp: a blazingly fast, modern terminal for engineers.
I’m grateful to have the chance to reimagine an iconic developer tool. AMA

107x trade on @HookProtocol 📈📈
Pretty wild but @NeikosX recently purchased a Milady call option for 0.0093 ETH on @HookProtocol.
Yesterday, the option expired in the money earning him 1 ETH.
A 10652.7% return in less than 2 weeks!

Trigger Orders are now available on Odyssey!
A trigger order market buys or sells a perp when a predefined price is crossed. 🪤
Trigger orders allow traders to manage risk without needing to monitor positions constantly.

📈This 0.8 ETH strike milady call @0xaeto bought for 0.1 ETH expired in the money and netted him 0.41 ETH!
That's a 310% return in ~3 months using options compared to gaining 0.71 -> 1.21 (+70%) by buying Milady directly.
Milady's floor price has been on fire the past few days:
1D Change: +30.59%
7D Change: +51.92%
@0xaeto bought a @miladymaker call from me with a 0.8 eth strike and is now way in the money (with at least a 3x return). There are still other milady options listed on Hook 👀

Reading @LitProtocol docs and I think very underrated. Bullish for many use cases as regulation becomes more clear (but crime still not legalized).
