As a corporate lawyer, I've been incorporating companies for 17 years, & it's a mess. Somehow we really got robots & AI before a halfway decent startup app.
So I built it myself--oneshot formation, cap table, governance and onchain identity for your startup today.
yes. never bring this to Ethereum.
ZCG people are extremely upset that their plan to turn Zcash into its own little mini-government is being thwarted.
And they're fighting tooth and nail to preserve it.
This is what happens when you create entrenched interest groups and give them a perpetual claim on other people's money.
Eventually, preserving the institution becomes more important than whatever it was originally created to accomplish.
Don't let them win.
good news: the hacker is buying ETH
bad news: I'm now a suspect, along with Tom Lee and a small # of others
can I say something without everyone getting mad?
aztec being stage 2 is really good
this stuff is not hard--people use decentralization when they need it (eg not to go to jail)

I've uploaded my passport to so many shady crypto projects, so this hits home
ZKPassport runs on @aztecnetwork and supports the private launch of a company or fundraise via @MetaLeX_Labs
@lex_node, will you ever go back to collecting raw IDs?
@ZKPassport has been an absolute game-changer for MetaLeX and its users and my clients. Composable ZK-proofs are the future of legal compliance--and it will be automated and streamlined on @MetaLeX_Labs
in another era I'd be dunking on Solana and touting the superiority of the L2 roadmap but the L2 roadmap isn't doing much for ETH imo
and functionally and incentive-wise a bunch of the 'L2s" are really just alt-L1s as they don't go stage 2 . . .they are clout-farming off Ethereum. . .so Ethereum faces similar problems to Solana tbh. . .
either decentralization (whether on Ethereum or Solana) is something that has value or these can all just be centralized databases that sometimes coincidentally have blockchain format. . .
I still think decentralization will win on a long enough timeline. . . .

ETH is the asset that will secure the future.

▸ Productive ➡ Yield
▸ Scarce ➡ Store of Value
▸ Trusted ➡ Collateral
▸ Reliable ➡ Bearer Asset
▸ Useful ➡ Digital Oil
▸ Available ➡ Freedom Tech
Everything ETH on one page - more to come!
this is kinda true but Weil is a unique case in just how insanely dominant one specific lawyer (Aiello) was at the firm, to the point where it was almost like he owned the law firm and everyone/everything in it
it's sort of funny to me how much people are trying to draw 'lessons' from what was a fairly unique situation..

This is beautiful. Crypto can be much more fun, powerful and meaningful that just sending coins to one another, now privately
Great work @lex_node @aztecnetwork @ZKPassport

This proposal from ZCG is infuriating.
It conveniently *extends* their mandate, currently set to end in 2028, until 2032.
It also keeps ZCAP fully in control and doesn't offer *any* control to coinholders.
Enough is enough.
ZCG proposes to donate ~36,200 ZEC (~$46M) to Zcash's future block rewards, paid out from 2031 into the 2040s, and forgo ~62,000 ZEC of its emissions.
The largest voluntary contribution we know of to the security budget of a capped-supply PoW coin. 🛡️

this is what our work with @ZKPassport is all about!
