It is targeted at underserved populations globally and focuses on practical, job-ready skills rather than traditional academic lessons. It uses Soulbound tokens for verifiable credentials and a gamified learning system to target the 781 million illiterate adults and 500 million children without access to schooling.

ETH'S LONG-TERM VALUE PROPOSITION

Base's decision to subsidize gas costs in USDC highlights a debate about ETH's long term value proposition and challenges the notion that L2 adoption inherently benefits ETH. While L2s successfully extend Ethereum's utility as a settlement layer, Base's USDC subsidies exemplify how L2s might actually abstract away ETH's “internet-native money” and store of value propositions. Ethereum's success in exporting execution to L2s, while technically beneficial, could undermine its monetary premium if users primarily interact with stablecoins, making its deflationary mechanics and fee capture more important.

CRITIQUING THE OPEN-SOURCE AI HEDGE FUND

The open-source “real-world AI hedge fund” repo gaining attention on Twitter allegedly relies on overly simplistic logic and GPT-4 prompts to decide and execute on trades. It does not have core elements of quant finance like robust signal generation, predictive modeling, and feedback loops for machine learning. True AI-driven trading involves building large, well-curated datasets, selecting meaningful targets, and training models to uncover nonlinear relationships between signals and price movements, as shown by more structured projects like the “Stock Market Analysis + Prediction Using LSTM” notebook on Kaggle.

ETHEREUM HAS AN INCENTIVES PROBLEM

In Ethereum, validators should be incentivized to run a node to earn rewards from the proof of stake consensus mechanism. However, due to the prevalence of liquid staking tokens like Lido, and restaking protocols offering additional yield on staked ETH, incentives for validators are misaligned and heavily favor the end user. Solo stakers are driven out of the market by larger LST providers, and there needs to be some change allowing for small stakers to have stronger incentives to promote decentralization.
