Daily lessons from 10+ years in crypto
I believe:
- p2p all the way
- users should stay in control
- permissionless systems enable experimentation at scale
Mutuals are the oldest form of pooled protection on earth.
A quarter of the world's cover ($1.6T across 4,700+ societies, ICMIF24) runs on this structure
On-chain, the sector holds ~$104M. Why? Because they cover the wrong thing: web3 losses
WE are building HANSE to fix this.
DeFi has lending, trading, derivatives, stablecoins
so naturally the next financial primitive is:
“we all just put money in a pot in case something goes wrong”
mutual risk pools are coming to @Solana
DeFi for real-world risk. any risk. Actually, anything your members agree on

The only time I had a chance to talk to @toly at BP25 was early. He saw my coffee and said: "I need one of these", turned around and left.
Now I am thinking:
Insurance to make sure @toly has a coffee (or tea) when he needs one at BP26.
Claim 10x by photo proof.

It's wild how people react to @riprapxyz ..
Let's be clear about one thing:
It's PARODY on the surface.
London is safe
Underneith, it demonstrates a new kind of asset on @solana:
Real World Risk Protection
Putting that on chain is long overdue. And necessary.

You know what?
@superteamuk is right, we are wrong.
Kevlar beats chainmail.
The intern fails us with his research. He's being sent to the Tower of London. No trial.
Disputes are at the heart of human 👱interactions, and growingly, also between agents 🤖.
I am using @solana as a tool to solve them, on a global scale, permissionlessly, p2p
because I believe people can do more together than apart, without surrendering control.

Accord is permissionless.
Create a Subaccord for your domain, stake, get drawn. Or file a dispute from any wallet, no intermediary.
The Schelling point is honesty: strangers converge on the truth because each expects the others to.
It's on mainnet now. Break it!
Or fiddle around on devnet, your call.
