New year, new ways to bring execution onchain.

Most high-value crypto apps begin as offchain databases. Force a full rewrite into smart contracts and you cap throughput on day one. Design around the database, and 1M TPS is within reach.

Not sure we should tell our friends at the holiday party that most perp DEXs rely on offchain systems for speed...

The grant application process for the Syndicate Network Collective is now open—the first DUNA to launch both voting and grants. If you’ve built something for the network and want to get funded, or you’re building an appchain, apply now. ↓

“Just rewrite it in smart contracts” is like saying “just rewrite your backend.” It doesn’t have to be that way.

Most chains force users to acquire a native token before doing anything. Stadium (@versus) does the opposite. Their appchain uses USDC as the native gas token—removing one of the biggest points of friction in web3 gaming.

How does Ethereum scale to infinity? Purpose-built chains. On the Syndicate Network, each chain runs with its own logic, purpose, and community—and SYND stakers can support the ones they want to see grow. Here’s what’s being built today ↓

Open Loot mainnet is now live—powered by Syndicate Network. To scale their ecosystem, Open Loot has migrated moved their chain to Syndicate Network, giving players real ownership and connecting studios and players across one high-performance, purpose-built network. ↓

Unite Mainnet now runs as an appchain on the Syndicate Network. The upgrade—supported by Syndicate and @alchemyplatform––migrated Unite from their previous stack with minimal downtime and no data loss, giving them a foundation to introduce custom sequencing logic in the future.

“A switch into yield strategies is a switch into long-term thinking.” Amid the drawdown, traders are moving toward stability and long-term positioning. Read the new @coindesk article featuring @will on why this moment signals market maturity ↓

Appchains meet the cloud. Today, Syndicate Appchain RPC Nodes are live on the Google Cloud Platform—making it possible to self-host a chain in minutes and at virtually zero cost. ↓ x.com/syndicateio/...

Every era of computing started the same way: One machine, scaled up—until it couldn’t anymore. From mainframes → PCs → data centers → cloud, progress came from scaling horizontally, not vertically. Ethereum is on that same path. Here’s how history always repeats itself ↓

Nothing like a little horizontal scaling talk before Thanksgiving dinner.
