Grab your blankets, find a cozy spot, and let the universe put on a show. Don't forget to make a wish (or two)! 💫 Who's in for some stargazing?

Ethereum

Daimo Pay

We’re excited to introduce Daimo Pay: onboard users from any coin, any chain → instant action in one click.

The goal-state Ethereum UX is possible today. Check it out:

We started Daimo with two ideas:
1. Ethereum is production ready.
2. The experience is still terrible. Click button > use wallet. Repeat 2-3x, wait, deal with errors.

We tried to fix *the wallet*...and ended up fixing *the button* instead.

We're proud of the result:

PERSONAL UPDATE: After an amazing 3.5 years, I’m leaving a16z to work on something new (more on that below).

It’s been an incredible experience getting to work with our portcos alongside some of the smartest people I know. 

To the entire a16z team, especially @cdixon and Ali and the rest of the deal team: thank you for showing me what having a truly world-class culture means. You make a16z special.

To all the founders I’ve met and worked with: it’s been an honor to be a part of your journey. I’ve learned so much from you and am excited for the things to come.

So what’s next? I’m joining the indomitable @samrags and @rfs to build Merit Systems. We are building tools, markets, and mechanisms to create an entirely new economy for software creation and contribution.

Stay tuned for more information and announcements in the coming weeks. It’s time to build.

math

Who has read this book? I’m trying to get back into maths. Last time I studied maths was when I was 16 and although a lot of the fundamentals are still there, a lot has been forgotten.

Anyone have advice for those getting back into maths?
