Fast, scalable chains with dirt-cheap txns? This feels like the public cloud explosion all over again. 

We're finally here!

Operating Partner & Head of Crypto Startup School 
@a16zcrypto. 25 years working on frontier tech. 2X CEO, 4 exits & most recently VP Subscriptions at Google.

2/ Latest gen self custodial wallets: Slick UX, seamless login, mini apps & packed with social primitives—like the "invite your friends" era that blew up early social nets. 

Virality unlocked. 🔓

3/ Multichain infra & dev tooling: Opening doors to bigger audiences and frictionless liquidity—busting through historical silos. 

The floodgates are open!

(Present me committing future me to get this done and this post is a timestamp.)

4/ What’s next? 

Fearless founders dropping "only possible in crypto" moonshots. These will raise the bar across the industry.

What kinds of experiences are you most excited to see?
