1/ Understanding the EVM – Simplified
You’ve probably heard of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), but if you’re like me find it more than slightly intimidating. Below is my attempt at a basic guide to what it is and how it works:

- After an incredible journey at Archetype, I’ve decided to begin a new chapter! One word encapsulates my experience - rare. A rare opportunity to learn from a unique combination of brilliant, passionate, and kind people. A rare feeling of walking into the office feeling inspired
- From truth-machines like Polymarket eclipsing $400M in cumulative volume to the emergence of SUAVE, crypto-powered information games are here today. My newest piece explores the design space & challenges for the crypto apps & infra that support them.
- Over the moon to share that I’ve joined @deltadotnetwork! Here's why I couldn't be more excited: + Delta represents a *step-function* improvement in distributed systems for developers and users. + A world-class team combining operational excellence with cutting-edge science,
- The next generation of execution layers is defining a new wave of designer blockspace: + What are the defining paths towards improving execution performance? + Merkleization to parallelization—why & how do these optimizations matter? Read on @viamirror
- To celebrate my first few months full time @archetypevc, here's the first cold DM that started it all don't let your dreams be memes, anon
- 1/ Hmmm… let’s explore some of the arguments being made here. 🤔 @macbrennan
- Absolutely thrilled to share that I'm joining the @archetypevc team full-time! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to continue working with this brilliant, kind, and hardworking group of people.
- Excited to release Part II on Exchanges & MEV! ⏬ Some high level takeaways: 1. Intents to improve onchain UX > intents as combinatorial auctions 2. Proposers ---> $ MEV ---> orderflow aggregators 3. On/offchain order matching naturally specializing to tackle different marketsPart II of MEV & The Evolution of Crypto Exchange is live! @0xFunk is back and exploring: + intents as tools for exchange + the future of onchain financial products + and competition along the MEV supply chain Read Part II on @viamirror archetype.mirror.xyz/IOvUPajhe9olbE…
- Bitcoin is crossing bridges—metaphorically and literally. In this article, I delve into the evolving Bitcoin tech stack, from tokens to scaling solutions, and the promising paths these innovations could take us on.
- What do zkTLS, TEEs, MPC, Futarchy, and the Internet have in common? They’re driving technological revolutions in how we 1) produce and 2) monetize information. Back in March, I wrote about the primitives I expected to power experiments that showcase the potential of
- Was extremely honored to host an MEV workshop and discussion at @archetypevc HQ today! Big s/o to the wonderful speakers and attendees who joined and looking forward to hosting more of these events in the future - HMU if you'd like to be invited! :) + @mikeneuder on ePBS design
- Replying to @0xFunk2/ To start, it's important to understand what a virtual machine is. In the context of Ethereum, a virtual machine is a program built into software (Ethereum clients) that recreates a computer's functionality.
