Cash is skeuomorphic and lossy, transacting on a scalar value is ancient technology Can we use vector spaces instead in ledgers to express more intent in money? Can AI agents be the catalyst for this? Martian Market is an experiment in design fiction that asks this question

🚨 Speaker Announcement 🚨 We’re excited to welcome @henlojseam from @ezklxyz to bring an extremely imaginative workshop: Martian Market Suppose if we were to create a new colony on Mars mediated by AI agents how else could markets work? If this sounds interesting, join the session to participate in this experiment! EDCON 2026 will be held from Oct 17th to 18th in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia🇲🇾!

Thrilled to be partnering with @EDCON_Official for Kuala Lumpur this October. Our work is about making Ethereum accessible, resilient and available to the people who need it most. The teams closest to that problem are usually local ones, and Southeast Asia has a lot of them. Applications to speak and volunteer are open 👉 edcon.io

Super thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with @geodelabs 🚀 Geode Labs is an Ethereum ecosystem development organization and product studio, aiming to make Ethereum more accessible, resilient, and available to those who need it most. Want to get involved as well? Applications to speak and volunteer are offically OPEN!! 👉 edcon.io See you in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 17th & 18th!!

Ethereum gets criticized a lot for "overinvesting" in security and decentralization. But one way to make sense of this "overinvestment" is to view Ethereum as "the system of systems." Ethereum wants to run the world's financial system. In the future, it may also run the world's identity system, or even governance. And within these mega systems, there are smaller systems such as DeFi protocols and DAOs. In short, Ethereum is a system that hosts other systems. What makes a system good for hosting other systems? Let's start with the observation that it's really hard to build a secure system on top of an insecure one. You can develop the most secure DeFi protocol, formally verify it and everything, but if the underlying chain can be easily attacked and re-orged, there's really no meaningful security guarantees you can offer to your users. Similarly with permissionlessness. Imagine you built a totally permissionless DeFi protocol that anyone can use. Well, it can really only be used by anyone who can access the underlying chain. So if the underlying chain is permissioned or can be easily censored, it doesn't matter how permissionless your protocol is. On the other hand, if the underlying chain is permissionless, you are free to build more permissioned protocols on top -- just enforce permissions with your smart contracts. That's why enterprises are able to build on Ethereum in practice, despite needing to enforce permissions. Therefore, a good "system of systems" is one that provides an extremely high degree of security and permissionlessness, so that the systems on top don't get compromised through the underlying system, and so that they can be as permissionless (or permissioned) as they want to be. Ethereum will host the world's most important systems. That's why it needs to be extremely secure, decentralized, and permissionless.
