🤯 It blows my mind how we get over 200 passionate community members to spend an hour with us on a Thursday morning, asking awesome questions about @Covalent_HQ, and wanting to be part of our mission…
Seriously the best community and that’s facts bb. ✨🤷🏼♀️

not to be dramatic but the internet is dead and we actually really do need to be thinking about truth infrastructure at scale to verify information and weed out fake shit
not just news but identity, reputation, influence and other social factors too
the same way proof of humanity protocols are gaining traction, truth engines are also important
everything is fakeable rn and that should concern you

1/ I have so many great things to say about @ETHNewYork this year. We just wrapped up judging for the @Covalent_HQ bounty and it was the hardest one to date simply because there were so many quality projects. This entire event has been inspiring, organized, and motivating …

Markets on everything.
Markets on everything.
We’re proud to announce that $ICE, the owner of @NYSE and the largest exchange company in the world, is making a strategic investment of $2 billion into Polymarket, valuing us at $9 billion post-money.
Our partnership with ICE marks a major step in bringing prediction markets into the financial mainstream. But in addition to that, it’s a monumental step forward for DeFi. ICE is the one remaining founder-led exchange company, and Jeff is all-in on utilizing his assets, including NYSE, to usher in a new financial era of tokenization. We’re humbled to be working together on this endeavor. ICE will also begin distributing Polymarket data to thousands of financial institutions around the world. There is so much to build when you combine the force of ICE’s institutional scale and credibility with Polymarket’s consumer + cultural savvy and distribution.
The past two years have been surreal. Going from a write off to creating a category, watching our vision become a reality. The Polymarket origin story is funny because it's a rare case of the dream being identical to how things played out. If I learned one thing, it’s that bold ideas are everywhere, hidden in plain sight. It just takes someone crazy enough to spend their life willing it into existence. That’s entrepreneurship: willing things into existence.
I remember reading Robin Hanson’s literature on prediction markets and thinking - man, this is too good of an idea to just exist in whitepapers. There were a million reasons why it shouldn’t work, countless arguments of why not to do it, and the odds were against us, but we had to try.
At the onset of the pandemic, I quite literally had nothing to lose: 21, running out of money, 2.5 years since I dropped out and nothing to show for it. But I knew we were entering an era where ways to find truth would matter more than ever, and Polymarket could play a critical role in that. After all, nothing is more valuable than the truth. It’s still a work in progress, but we’re honored to have made the impact we have thus far.
I’d also like to give a special thank you to all of our users, builders, and community members who have been with us since 2020. Your support will not be forgotten 🔮
Last but not least, I am deeply grateful for all of the support and hard work of my brilliant team. I’m getting to live my wildest dreams, seemingly against all odds, and I don’t take it for granted.
The best is yet to come… 🇺🇸
Que Sera Sera

1/ The Covalent Network is more than a mechanism of decentralization, it is the tool to ultimately scale the blockchain ecosystem by standardizing data in a way that is accessible to all.

One cool thing I got to do this weekend was intro web3 to some local kids (age 12-18ish)
It was so fun to help them create their first wallets, NFTs, and we even started a little DAO all in 2 hours on zoom!
Big thanks to @harish_yvr and @Covalent_HQ for making this possible

Blockchain receipts are here! 🧾
I did this in like 2 minutes using @Covalent_HQ, ChatGPT and VSCode.
Use the ‘Get a transaction’ endpoint with the query parameter ‘with-dex’ for an enhanced API response. 😉
Put in a tx hash. Write some HTML. Done!

products that generate positive externalities are game-changers for society
these are free benefits to third parties that don’t even have to be involved in a transaction
the positive externality of prediction markets is truth/information/news
anyone can check the odds and be more informed because of the market’s ability to reflect implied probabilities
polymarket’s new accuracy page is proof of this, with 1-month accuracy > 90%
so for the most part you are actually getting news before it’s news, for free

Prediction markets need truth
@UMAprotocol is in the business of truth
The oracle facilitates answers to thousands of different questions every month
It is built to handle anything that can be thrown at it, which is insanely cool
It is a truth machine

how does @UMAprotocol ensure that people vote honestly on outcomes?
through balanced incentives and ✨blind consensus✨
this is a super interesting concept practiced in many research experiments to avoid bias/influence in results
it's also a key feature of the Optimistic Oracle
Vitalik wrote about it. Game Theorists supported it. UMA built it.
It’s called blind consensus, and it might be the most powerful mechanism in crypto you’ll ever study.
Learn how UMA’s commit-reveal system turns hidden votes into honest outcomes. ↴

🧠 Learning a ton about the inner workings of the academic research process from @ThomayTHIERS.
DAOs revolutionize the flows of financial and human capital and can greatly improve the fairness of this system.
