Hey fam,

This week we're diving into some serious blockchain philosophy, exploring whether Ethereum needs a clearer direction (spoiler: it's complicated), and we've got a fascinating chat about turning dev contributions into a fantasy sport.

Let's get into it.

Simon Yi, our co-founder, tackles a question that's been buzzing in the crypto space:

But maybe that's not such a bad thing...

Check out Simon's full analysis on why this ambiguity might be both Ethereum's biggest challenge and its hidden strength.
