The Ethereum Foundation is ramping up support for apps with a new App Relations & Research team led by @jchaskin22. From cryptoart to onchain social, expect deeper strategic backing across the Ethereum app stack. Here’s what this pivot could mean for builders.👇 ~~ Analysis by @wmpeaster ~~ 1️⃣ OpenSea acquires Rally @opensea is pushing forward with its OS2 vision. On Tuesday, it announced the acquisition of @rally_xyz, a social-focused crypto wallet. Rally CEO Chris Maddern is now OpenSea’s CTO, and Rally’s tech will power the upcoming OpenSea Mobile experience. 2️⃣ Goblintown’s new memecoin @goblintown, the hit 2022 NFT project, is back with a community coin. Called $gob, the memecoin lives on Solana and vests over 30 months to Goblintown NFTs, unlocking weekly. It includes a 2.5% transaction tax reinvested into liquidity and burns. This design aims to avoid the typical short-lived memecoin cycle. Worth watching. 3️⃣ JokeRace Vote-and-Earn v2 @jokerace_io just upgraded its Vote-and-Earn system. Now, votes follow an exponential price curve—costs rise every minute—so early voters can earn more if they back winners. This format will feature in the upcoming Joke Games. 4️⃣ Paragraph Coins @paragraph_xyz is testing a new monetization system for writers: Coins. Launching next week, these tradable ERC20s let readers directly support posts—no paywalls, no subscriptions. The first example, @AustinAdams10’s The Death of the Yeoman Farmer, already has 2,300+ supporters.

We asked @divine_economy of @jokerace_io about his "every app doubles as a wallet" idea. "There are two models for wallets right now." "Self-sovereign wallets like @MetaMask and @Rabby_io that are standalone and interact with any dApp, and embedded wallets." "Embedded wallets are presented as a panacea that automatically lets anyone onboard." "They actually create more friction for your native user base."

We asked @divine_economy of @jokerace_io about the increasing speculative desire or "degenification" of everything. "There are two trends going on that are related: financialization and vibes." "The vibification of everything is one of the dominant trends of our time." "The question is, how do you long vibes?"

polls cost nothing (do not signal conviction or disincentivize bots) and pay nothing (do not reward you for backing the winner) JokeRace does both @elonmusk vs @realDonaldTrump choose the winner. get paid. 👇 https://t.co/pGqkOE9VFJ
