When I decided to introduce the term "NFT" in ERC-721 because "it would be more approachable" than the technical term "non-fungible token", I could have NEVER guessed how approachable it would eventually become... 😅

- I might not be objective, but Cadence is probably the most cutting-edge computer language right now. And we're hiring! Language nerds? Here's an opportunity for you: dapperlabs.com/join/position?… (Pls share/retweet, language peeps rarely "go looking" since these jobs are so rare…)
- A blockchain is a computer that anyone can use, everyone can trust, and no-one can shut down or block. The fact that such a computer can be used to build decentralized financial systems is worth getting excited about, but that's only the beginning…
- It's surprising how few people look into the details of Flow, the blockchain that underlies NBA Top Shot, NFL All Day, et al. But when people DO look, they are almost impressed by the thought we put into it. Another example of that today:Flow is a normie blockchain. In a world in which L1s are battling for 300 million crypto users, going for the other 4.7 billion internet users is crazy differentiated enough that it just might work. This is the longest Not Boring ever, so 10 tidbits below:
- It's official: I'm 100% committed to Flow now. Check out the clip of the announcement below!"I am now Full Time Flow" - @dete73 Dete is stepping away as CTO of @dapperlabs and stepping in to be 100% full time working #onFlow for the Flow Foundation 🌊 Learn more about this, and what it means for Flow, right now in our Town Hall ⤵️ lu.ma/lsxtl422
00:00 - There's this assumption by a lot of folks in crypto that the security problem of key management is just something that users have to figure out. Obviously, that's true to some extent, but there are things we can do to make this *a whole lot* easier. A thread:
- With the Crescendo release live on mainnet today, I wanted to call out several technical achievements in the new release that I’m most excited about: ⚡Speed & Latency 📚Storage efficiency 💻Cadence 1.0 🤝EVM on Flow Deets in the 🧵…
- I'm as pleased as punch now that the Crescendo upgrade is live! 🎉 As a celebration, I’ll be participating in Flow Community Rewards (rewards.flow.com) to the tune of 2M $FLOW. 😳 I'll be deploying the entire lock-up (plus rewards) throughout the ecosystem in October.💥
- Well, it's finally here. I can't properly express how much thought and effort went into this document, and the depth of thinking behind it.
- Perhaps you've heard by now: EVM Equivalence is coming to Flow! 🌊 IN FACT! The preview network is live now: flow.com/upgrade/cresce… Cross-chain projects: we just decimated your maintenance load. You're welcome... 😉 Not multi-chain? Flow still has a lot to offer you! 🧵⤵️
- I'm embarrassingly excited to see Doodles coming to Flow. 😊 Here's a team that looked at the tech, asked what that tech could do *for their users*, and then did the hard work to make the most of that tech. This is what consumer-facing web3 should *always* be about. 💥So why did we choose Flow for Doodles 2? We’re able to create a frictionless on-chain app that lets mainstream fans customize their Doodle without limits. a thread 🧵
00:00 - Some ideas about "Hybrid Custody" using Account Abstraction: forum.onflow.org/t/hybrid-custo… Start with a Web2/mobile flow (no wallet required) and smoothly transitions into full self-custody (your keys control your assets)... without transfers!
- Kinda cool to see @nba_topshot grab the second spot here. Now we just have to beat.... ourselves! 😅
- On @flow_blockchain, composability is king. We have 1000s of user-deployed smart contracts on Flow, every one of which is an extension of other smart contracts. This is composability in action. This is the power of blockchain. This is what Web3 is all about. The power of
