Some bittersweet news: this week is my last week at @zksync The last ~16 months have been an amazing journey filled with experiences I never imagined I'd have a chance to do in crypto including owning one of the industry's largest ecosystems in Era, driving one of the biggest airdrops with our TGE, and designing a DeFi incentive program from scratch. But the thing I'll remember the most and take with me are the amazing people at Matter Labs: incredibly smart, kind, and the fact that they really give a shit about what we're doing and why it matters in the world. Wanted to give a special shout-out to Alex for taking a bet on me and giving me the opportunity to be a part of the ZKsync story. What's next for me? I'm cooking something exciting that I can't wait to share here -- soon! 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳

Starting my screenshot essay arc again (did this back in on Farcaster back in late 2022/early 2023 and really enjoyed it). Planning to write 2-3 of these a week on various AI and crypto topics. Here's my first -- what do you think?

The next big "L1" opportunity isn't higher TPS or lower fees for smart contract devs. It's making crypto rails accessible to a new, emerging set of builders: AI app / agent devs. AI devs will build on crypto rails for two reasons: 1. Create product differentiation and lock-in by incentivizing users via tokens to contribute to improving model performance 2. Power increasingly autonomous (and eventually sovereign) agents who can capitalize themselves via internet capital markets, make payments, acquire compute, etc.

Nice! building Presto specifically for AI devs who will want diff things than a typical token launchpad IMO is super interesting

The ecosystem that wins the hearts and minds of AI devs will focus on: - Abstracting crypto complexity: AI devs won't care about tokenomics, bonding curves, wallets, or L1/L2s. They want powerful tools + enshrined mechanisms which make it simple to launch a sustainably-designed token and maximize utility of crypto rails. - Powering the agent economy: Offer curated marketplace (or MCP registry) where users or agents can discover and transact with other agents. - Building AI vibes (very different from crypto vibes) There are both existing ecosystems and newer ones (Ritual, Bittensor, Arc + others) building in this direction. Excited to see this space continue to evolve!
