Here is official trailer, You Can See Everything

Joseph is naming the real battle here: not another fintech feature war, but who owns the agent that sits between every human and their money. Spolier: it has to be you. Our stack is now stablecoins + tokenized assets + DeFi + agents. Open rails and verifiable agent identity (and reputation, see Ethereum ERC-8004 -- Trustless Agents) are how that stack stays a commons instead of a new set of siloed walled gardens partitioning the financial system. $1T of agent-handled financial activity by 2030, $4T by 2035 — and hundreds of billions returned to people via fee compression — only works if the agent serves the user, not the platform. Web3, the emerging decentralized world wide web is (finally) the user-centric web, after all. Ethereum is all about credible neutrality and censorship resistance. MetaMask's Open Money OS (metamask.io/news/metamask-ne…) focuses on empowering users and communities with financial agency -- full control over all aspects of their financial lives. Sharplink grows share value as it grows ETH and Ethereum ecosystem value as it invests its permanent capital in the emerging Decentralized System of the World. Very much worth reading the entire article.

Bitwise is delighted to have worked alongside Lido to carry out the first validator consolidation on Lido Core. Bitwise is proud to be a node operator in Curated Module v2 and to play a part in Lido’s work toward a healthier Ethereum network.

Deploying an @LidoFinance V3 stVault is one thing. Operating it is another. Liquidity can shift. Withdrawal requests can wait. A health factor can change. A rebalance can become necessary. So we built stVaults Watcher: an open-source monitoring tool for Lido V3 stVaults. 🧵
