- Nexus Mutual: crypto insurance. https://nexusmutual.io/.
- There are some stablecoins NOT pegged to fiat, like OHM (OlympusDAO).
- Remember the smart contracts live on the blockchain, but the frontend can do anything before then. The developer can still control/modify that, and therefore the (majority) of the app is not decentralized. There’s a project called “Homescreen” (from skynet) to fully decentralize web3 frontends as well: https://homescreen.hns.siasky.net/. And https://blog.sia.tech/announcing-homescreen-decentralized-frontends-for-web3-113a3564530d.
- Lido and anchor for staking on eth (like marinade on solana). https://lido.fi/ and https://www.anchorprotocol.com/.
- Crypto….earnings report?? https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/p/the-state-of-ethereum-q3-2021.

- Lots of research in eth2, ZK and optimistic rollups, plasma, and polygon.
- A wallet maintained by a smart contract, rather than a private key. An interesting idea.
- Perspective on life: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html. My biggest takeaway:
- DevOps DAO? https://docs.keep3r.network/.
- Bug found in Optimism’s Geth fork, allowing free eth creation. Scans show that it was NOT exploited. https://optimismpbc.medium.com/disclosure-fixing-a-critical-bug-in-optimisms-geth-fork-a836ebdf7c94.
- Watched starship update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3N7L8Xhkzqo.
- Updated all widgets on my wordpress site to the current versions, removed all legacy widgets. Remember the site has no pages or menus or headers or footers. Just static widgets on the left and dynamic posts on the right.
- Removed inactive themes.
- Added social media links (just linkedin, rss, and gitlab).
- Resonant article on perfectionism: https://arunkprasad.com/log/unlearning-perfectionism/.
- “Perfectionism is the tendency to stake your identity on achieving fixed outcomes.”
- It’s not about extreme pursuit of ambitious goals. That’s fine. The problem is when your self-image is tied to it.
- How to avoid this? Tough, since it does provide value/fuel in many contexts. But be present. Journey over finish-line attitude. If you can’t see 20ft in front of you, take one step in the right direction.
- Note too – perfectionism is nearly synonymous with longterm thought = untenables = anxiety. The usual tactics of mindfulness, gratitude, self-compassion, etc apply here as well.
