WHO IS PETER TODD, AND WHY DOES HBO THINK HE IS SATOSHI?

HBO's documentary Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery suggests Peter Todd, a prominent Bitcoin developer, as a potential candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, citing circumstantial evidence like a mistaken forum post reply and shared communication patterns. However, the crypto community has largely dismissed these claims as speculative and unsupported, with Todd himself denying being Satoshi.

AZTEC'S ROAD TO MAINNET

After seven years of public development, the privacy-focused Aztec L2 has finally released its road to mainnet with an interactive roadmap. It is similar in structure to Ethereum's roadmap, with several categories like programmable privacy, decentralization, and proving system with several steps in each ultimately leading to the mainnet launch. As one of the original privacy projects, Aztec enables private smart contracts and interactions through its Noir programming language and zero-knowledge proofs.

GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS, US JOBS REPORT, BASE GROWTH, AND RESTAKING TRENDS

The crypto market saw major fluctuations last week, with Bitcoin dropping to $60,000 before rebounding to $62,000 due to geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran and a strong U.S. jobs report. Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, reached $2 billion in total value locked (TVL), driven by the success of Aerodrome, while Ethereum's liquid restaking protocols saw explosive growth, with TVL surging from 112,000 ETH to 3.5 million ETH in 2024.

APPLICATIONS CAPTURE FEES, BLOCKCHAINS STORE VALUE

Blockchain-based applications like pump.fun are increasingly out-earning infrastructure and smart contract platforms. There has been a shift toward “fat applications” and modularization across blockchains as apps seek greater economic control and technical flexibility. While apps capture a larger share of the blockchain fee pool, L1s could compete as digital money, acting as a store of value and medium of exchange.

PROTOCOL VALUE ACCRUAL BLACK PILL

Blockchains face complex challenges in value accrual and must balance revenue from transaction fees, MEV, and token emissions while navigating the trade-off of higher per-transaction value or maximum volume capacity. Appchains and application-specific sequencing could internalize priority fees and MEV for apps, potentially reducing protocol revenue. With enough misalignment between protocols and apps, there could be a shift in value accrual from protocols to the apps, forcing protocols to rely on high transaction volumes rather than individual transaction value.
