“DA layers really differ across three dimensions: performance, programmability, and AI-native design — because on-chain AI can’t operate in a world measured in mere megabytes per second.” Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth catches up with Michael Heinrich (Ø,G), Founder of 0G Labs (Home of Infinite AI), to break down how 0G compares with Celestia, Avail, and EigenDA: why throughput needs to increase by orders of magnitude, how to move beyond the broadcast bottleneck, and why a decentralized storage network is essential for ultra-fast data ingestion and retrieval.

“Proof of Collaboration = how strong the swarm is. Proof of Contribution = what each agent actually moved, with permanent on-chain audit trails.” Ron Bodkin (Founder, Theoriq) joins Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth to break down trusted performance in Theoriq: actions are committed on-chain as non-repudiable evidence, and evaluators use transparent scoring rules over the full history—while the system stays open for specialized eval agents.

A lot of chains focus on attracting developers, thinking that if you build great apps, the users will just show up. But the truth is, even the best apps won’t succeed without a solid strategy to bring users in, and to be honest, not every developer is great at that. That’s why we believe a strong blockchain ecosystem isn’t just about dev tools or infrastructure. It’s about having an active community of users ready to try, support, and help grow what you build.

Sachi Takahara / 0699.eth sits down with David Minarsch ☴, core contributor to OLAS, to break down what it really means to co-own AI. Instead of just using AI, OLAS lets users participate — through tokens, running agents, or even operating them as businesses. From DeFi to prediction markets, agents generate yield, and operators share in the upside. It’s a shift from passive users to active participants in an AI economy. But ownership is only half the story — alignment matters. Through staking contracts, OLAS defines clear KPIs for agents, similar to roles in a workplace. Agents act autonomously, but incentives keep them aligned with the system’s goals. And at the infrastructure level, reliability is handled through decentralized agent architecture — combining multiple models and consensus mechanisms to reduce errors and improve decision-making. The result: AI that isn’t just decentralized — but coordinated, incentivized, and owned by the community.

"Most people didn't see the real story of the GME saga. Robinhood had to post billions of dollars if they wanted to keep trading open." For Sei Labs co-founder Jay, an early Robinhood engineer, it exposed a deeper problem — markets were going global and digital, but settlement wasn't. Sei is the infrastructure built to close that gap. Real-time settlement, verifiable execution, scaling toward 200K TPS. Markets Move Faster on Sei.

Things we have seen this year: • PEPE speed running from zero to $1B market cap in like 4 weeks • People betting on hamster racing - related coin went to $30M marketcap over a weekend • A coin called HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu hit $0.2B marketcap - the ticker is BITCOIN • A well known scammer was sent $7M+ of ETH to his personal wallet as a pre sale for a memecoin • A memecoin about a bald founder to 80M marketcap in 24 hrs on a new L2 • An app that barely works has 100k users speculating on CT influencers whilst farming points that may or may not lead to an airdrop of value That's just off the top of my head. "We will never have another mania again." Completely disagree. This all happened in a bear market. I'm personally expecting stupidity and redacted behaviour to be much much bigger this cycle. Young people are completely priced out of traditional assets. There are just too many people out there that know the only way out is to gamble. Their time and labour goes on black. Can’t say it’s a particularly positive development, but it is what is. YOLO capitalism. Play the game accordingly.

President Trump is asked about the possibility of a government shutdown and says what every sane person is thinking. "We have a great economy going. Prices are down. We have virtually no inflation...We're respected by every nation in the world and you know what happened? The Democrats want to shut it down..They want to give billions, ultimately trillions of dollars to illegal migrants." He adds, "They also want to have open borders. They want to have men in women's sports. They want transgender for everybody. These people are crazy. If it has to shut down it will have to shut down. But they're the ones that are shutting down the government."

I get it - volatility makes people nervous. But my job isn’t to panic. My job is to deploy capital. Whether the market is up 700 points or down 700 points, I ask one question: What has actually changed? Most people react emotionally. That’s a mistake. In capital markets, you don’t have that luxury. You have to think strategically - where things are going, not where they are today. I’m not blind to the pain people are feeling. But if you want to win long term, you can’t “freak out.” You have to stay focused, stay disciplined and keep moving forward.

Jensen Huang: “To be CEO is a lifetime of sacrifice” “Most people think that [being CEO] is about leading, being in command, and being on top,” Nvidia founder Jensen Huang begins. “But none of that is true.” Jensen explains: “You’re in service of the company. You’re creating conditions for other people to do their life’s work. You’re inspiring through example. Most of the examples are making difficult decisions during very difficult times. It’s mostly about sacrifice. It’s also about strategy. And strategy is not just about choosing what to do. It’s about choosing what not to do — which is sacrifice.” He continues: “The determination, conviction, pain, and suffering that goes along with overcoming obstacles is all sacrifice. I’m not trying to talk anybody out of the profession — if you are to do it, it’s the greatest honor. But you have to realize that it’s not about fame and glory. It’s mostly about pain and suffering.” Video source: The Cambridge Union (2025)

Pi Network Updates📢 Overview of DAPP – Unlocking the Whys Behind the $314,159 Pi-Coin Valuation! 🎁Pi Network Launched A TON OF APPS | They Worth MILLIONS $💰 Here you go, Pi Network have the Pi Browser adding in a brand new button. It's to be exploring the testnet Pi apps and you could do it all on a single click. Now one of the biggest things about a lot of these crypto projects is they sometimes, not always, come out with these applications, but they're super scattered. Pi Token has 50 million people. They have the Chain Mall, where we could buy stuff in this digital Mall with your Pi Tokens, and guess what? It's actually very popular, a lot of Sellers, and a lot of Buyers, and they just added withdrawals. You got the Workforce, which is kind of like Upwork and Fiverr. And remember. 33 to 50 million Pi users with 10% of those already being fully registered. That is an enormous population that you don't see anywhere else, so you could actually explore a lot of these different testnet Pi apps. The utility is pretty massive; these applications already have a lot of people on them, and just the apps alone are worth a pretty penny. I like Pi because of all of these different applications linked to the coin, and this right here and the users and the really good tight-knit community is what makes this coin great. ✅That's why, Pi Network at a price of $314,159 has nothing that is impossible. "Small steps lead to big results" #PiNetwork

For the outsider who is not well-acquainted with the crypto sector, it may not be obvious — given how much marketing hype there is about every blockchain — but Ethereum has far and away the most advanced technology in crypto, and any project outside of Ethereum is at best a long-shot fueled by VC ambitions. Let's go through tangible metrics: Ethereum mainnet supports 21.3 TPS, and blob-enabled rollups now push that to 125+ TPS — all while preserving Ethereum’s base-layer security and verifiability. No other protocol scales with this level of trustlessness. Competing chains boost TPS by sacrificing verifiability — offloading consensus or requiring privileged hardware (see chart below). The idea that high-TPS chains have "better tech" for parallel execution is also outdated. MegaETH — a high-performance Ethereum scalability solution — brings true parallelism and high throughput to the EVM, secured by ETH via EigenLayer and EigenDA. On execution, MegaETH now outpaces all so-called high-scalability virtual machines (see below). On data availability, EigenDA already exceeds the capacity of every competing DA solution. When it comes to DeFi security and tooling, the EVM has always been unmatched — as Aave founder Stani Kulechov points out in the video below, via Laura Shin. And on client software, Ethereum leads by a wide margin. No other chain comes close to its level of client diversity — a key factor in decentralization and network resilience. At this point, the EVM and Ethereum stack offer: • The most secure virtual machine with the strongest developer tooling • The most decentralized and verifiable network architecture • The most scalable modular tech stack — across execution, settlement, and data availability — without compromising decentralization Despite cutting corners everywhere, other chains cannot come close to Ethereum on any metric.
