Uniswap Labs has acquired Crypto: The Game
https://decrypt.co/234608/uniswap-labs-acquires-crypto-game-next-season
Bryan Pellegrino: “Ok since it's coming up a ton today, here is how we're currently thinking about eligibility from a wide lens.
The focus is clearly on real users and the fairest and broadest distribution of highly aligned, most durable users.
A lot of this is informed by results of the Sybil process and any real final definition will come directly from LayerZero vs my ramblings
6M initial wallets
3M have sent < 5 tx lifetime, so let's say 3M wallets to really consider.
All transactions < $1.00 deweighted -80% but still count just at 1/5th the rate of a normal tx
All 'valueless NFT' tx deweighted -80% but still count, just at 1/5th the rate of normal tx (In this case valueless is defined as having a listed marketplace value of < 0.00001 ETH or minimal lifetime volume)
These 2 alone deal with most of the inorganic network spam that has largely disappeared post-snapshot.
Things like gas-drop count as valid tx
from there normalize tx based on protocol fees specifically (not the fee to the underlying blockchain the tx was processed on)
min value on this is eligibility criteria, max value/upper bound as well
multipliers based on things like early usage (had played with the idea of block reward/halving style distribution being replayed over tx history but discarded for complexity)
cliffs: Remove sybil, remove spam, semi-linear with upper bound cap, reward early users, reward durable users, RFP to reward all non-standard protocol interaction like LP/etc., focus on fairest and most optimal distribution for protocol”

Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy: “If ETH fails in the future it wont be because "Solana is faster", it will be because the eth "elite" is still stuck in a massive contradiction
Blockchain tech is impressively super well conductive to create purely capitalist incentive based systems
At the same time vitalik, hayden and many many others are trying to "solve capitalism" by saying that what we build can only be respected "if the end is worthy (healthcare, open source software, art, etc)" or that "the best builders in the space are motivated by positive social change". Throw on top of that neverending attempts to "solve" MEV while we are at it
You are either building capitalism or planned socialism. I'm sorry, you really cant have both
I choose capitalism in all its (often ugly!) glory. And if you are not here for glory, then one simple argument is - unlike socialism, capitalism actually works.”
