I've made 40+ technical Ethereum diagrams over the past few years. I'm now making full-res version and source files available on Gumroad. These are great for desktop wallpapers, physical prints, or independent research. Any support is appreciated! 🙏 jordanmmck.gumroad.com

ETH = certainty of security BTC = certainty of issuance ETH made the right choice. Security is the foundation. BTC will break the 21M hardcap to prevent a collapse in security — dropping certainty of issuance. ETH has the superior monetary policy 🌞

Starting to understand @eigencloud (I think? this is all "afaik"): So, I have my validator with 32 ETH in the ethereum consensus layer. To restake I need to have my withdrawal address set to a *contract*, and that contract is an eigenpod deployed via some address I control. 🧵

We need a revolution in Ethereum marketing. The gap between the common understanding of Ethereum and its potential is staggering. We need unapologetic AMBITION in marketing. Ethereum is not simply a "smart contract platform" it is the WORLD COMPUTER — it is the platform upon

New diagram (1/4): Ethereum + L2 scaling vision. I've drawn Optimistic / ZK roll-ups running on top of Eth, plugging into DA system. Eth DA is shown as a ring around Eth world state, then @eigen_da is shown as a larger ring. Video today on 4844, danksharding, EigenDA! 🧵

ETH vs BTC: Superiority of Ethereum's Monetary Policy Certainty of issuance OR certainty of security. Choose one. Security must take priority. Therefore the Bitcoin 21M hardcap must break... Bitcoin will eventually adopt the issuance model of Ethereum. Video coming soon. 😉

zkTLS explained: Scaling is solved*. Now we can onboard the world. But people have reputations and history in web2/tradfi. Having to start over in web3 is a big obstacle. With ZkTLS we can import this data into web3 and accelerate mass adoption. ⤵️

Huge thank you to @Optimism and all badgeholders! 🌞 Grants like these make it viable for a niche YouTuber like myself (with 2.3K subs) to make content creation my full-time, or near full-time, job. Which is incredible! Retroactive Public Goods Funding really is the way...

How can we best *visualize* Ethereum? I've spent years working on this problem... Here are some of my core visuals and how they fit together. But I want to refine & improve these models. So, let me know, do they make sense to you? What mental models do you have? 🧵

✨ AI + Crypto ✨ To unlock the full potential of AI (without creating dystopia) we need verifiability through systems like @ethereum & @eigencloud. Before crypto/ai our financial system consists of a complex mesh of centralized opaque servers. Many problems inherent here...

I've spent 4 years diagramming crypto systems because the world needs to see what we're building. But static diagrams aren't enough. These systems move, they're alive. I'm now building animated, interactive, diagrams driven by real-time data. Interested in a collab? DM me.

New video! 🌞 I explain (with diagrams) how @eigencloud works, and why I think it represents the 4th major paradigm in CryptoEconomic Capital Efficiency. Where the paradigms are: 1. Bitcoin 2. Ethereum 3. Roll-Ups 4. EigenLayer

ZK roll-ups are likely the future of Ethereum scaling. But proof verification is expensive. @alignedlayer "fast mode" is an "optimistic" ZK proof verification system, which provides a super fast/cheap way to verify proofs... New video tomorrow on this. Here is the diagram!
