We're moving! A quick update
Follow "The price of agency" on Mirror for my latest posts
I read somewhere that the best way to increase your subscriber count on Substack is to never send a new post. If your older posts are still relevant, they’ll still accrue new subscribers steadily. Meanwhile, if you send out something new to your existing list of subscribers, you’ll remind a lot of people of your existence and some of them will press the “Unsubscribe” button to confirm that they didn’t necessarily want to hear from you again.
Today, I am giving you the chance to push that button, without feeling guilty about it.
I’ve moved my operations to a more web3-native platform called Mirror. It’s very much like Substack, so if you meant to continue following me, you can subscribe with your email address there and it will all be kind of the same (except with added goodies like using your Ethereum wallet for signing in). Moving forward, I plan to use Mirror for new posts.
“Is that a rug?? Am I aping into some high-risk subscription for unclear benefits?”
Well, if you want to hedge your bets and evaluate whether this is a good move for you, I am pleased to report that you can browse through all 5 (five!) of my already available posts over there. All you have to do is head over to mirror.xyz/barnabe.eth (that’s my ENS in there! cool right?)
You’ll find the following:
A series of posts, “Semantics of Staking”, on constructing liquid staking and re-staking tokens iteratively, from a balance sheet perspective.
Part 1: Liquefaction (November 2023)
Part 2: Re-staking (December 2023)
Part 3: Advanced constructions (February 2024)
Two posts on Proposer-Builder Separation (PBS) and newer things that came up, such as Execution Tickets, Attester-Proposer Separation, preconfirmations, recent enshrined PBS developments, as well as old friends such as Protocol-Enforced Proposer Commitments (PEPC).
Reconsidering the market structure of PBS (March 2024)
More pictures about proposers and builders (April 2024, honestly read that one if you only check one of these out)
You’ll notice that my writing has picked up the pace. It’s just been a few good months. The RIG team is on fire (check out our newsletter on Substack, before we move that too to Mirror 😀) and I owe a lot to the energy they bring. We have a new address for all of our work, so make sure to check that out too:
Anyways, I do want you to leave with a nice feeling. The next button may have to do with points. It may not. Who knows? No one does, unless those who pushed that button. Will you be one of them?
Love you all ❤️
