Blockchain 101: Why Will Web3 Gaming Take Over Web2 In my opinion, Web3 gaming has the potential to take over Web2 gaming. For starters, it offers a new level of player ownership and control, giving gamers the ability to truly own their in-game assets, such as weapons, armor, and collectibles. This creates a new level of engagement and investment for players, as they have a tangible stake in the game, , which is currently not possible in Web2 gaming. Web3 gaming also enables new forms of economic activity and marketplaces, such as player-driven trading and secondary markets. This opens up new opportunities for players to monetize their in-game assets and for game developers to create new revenue streams. Additionally, Web3 gaming allows for the creation of decentralized, autonomous game worlds where players can interact with each other and the game in a trustless and decentralized way. This creates new opportunities for player-driven content and game mechanics, such as user-generated quests and player-run economies. How Top-Tier Game Production Houses Coming to Web3 Can Change Player Dynamics Top-tier game production companies entering the industry can play a significant role in driving adoption of Web3 because they bring  a wealth of experience in game design, development, and marketing. This experience can be leveraged to create high-quality, engaging, and immersive Web3 games that appeal to a wide audience. Game production companies also have access to large existing player bases and communities that can be transitioned to Web3 games, helping quickly build a critical mass of users. Combine that with their resources and infrastructure, and they’re better able to support and market their games to help raise awareness of Web3 and its capabilities, driving more people to explore and adopt the technology. As a side note, these companies can then act as thought leaders and evangelists within the industry, driving more innovation and investment in the ecosystem. Cimu Games is Bringing Runestone Keeper Game to Web3 One such production company is , which is using Ready Games' web3 game development tools to re-release its million-selling Runestone Keeper — an important development for the Web3 ecosystem.

Cimu Games to Bring its Million Selling Runestone Keeper Game to Web3

Nowadays, we get to see a lot of cyber attacks in our world. —Cyber attacks can happen anytime, anywhere. Not only that but when it comes to Small and medium-sized companies — most of them think that they aren’t vulnerable to cyber-attacks which is crazy. SMBS — A new report from Keeper Security — A Password Manager company — shows that over 60% from SMBS don’t think they will fall victim to an attack. “Our show that many companies don’t know where to start with cybersecurity prevention and even more don’t think they will fall victim to an attack.” (Darren Guccione) - CEO of Keeper. Cyberthreat Study findings Imagine that some companies prefer to give more importance to Sales, Marketing, Social good over cybersecurity— 18% percent voted that cybersecurity is less important than the rest of the company operations or tools. I am not saying that's a bad thing but I believe that must be the first thing that must be established in any company before anything else. cybersecurity What's pretty ironic is that, there's another which showed that — 67 percent of SMBs had been attacked in the past year. study Imagine that, only about 12% ( ) understand the reality that cyber-attack is very likely to happen. — Even if you were in a big or small company. one in ten companies There’s something really interesting about the latest study. The newer companies have a much greater awareness of cyber attacks than companies who were operating for more than 10 years or more. 28% of the companies that were operating for less than five years believed that they can be targeted by cyber-attacks.  While 70 percent of businesses operating for 10 or more years believe a cyberattack is not very likely or not likely at all. Seventy percent? That’s crazy. “Businesses face a vulnerability crisis when it comes to cybercriminals, and this reality won’t get better until cybersecurity gets higher billing on their to-do list,” says Darren Guccione, CEO and co-founder of Keeper. Companies must update their "cyber mindset" in order to keep up with the world. It really doesn't matter if they were small, medium-sized, or large ones. —A cyber attack can happen to any. "We are working very hard to educate SMBs about how they can protect themselves quickly and on a cost-effective basis." (Darren Guccione) - CEO of Keeper. They also need to use all the resources available to create a better and safer environment for their employees.

Transcendence Book 9: Far-skies

The following is a tale that unfolds within the "Metamathematical" realm, where the boundaries between mathematics and narrative are blurred, giving rise to a unique realm of creation, understanding, and growth. It is a story that reminds us of the power of unity, adaptability, and transcendence, demonstrating that sometimes the most profound insights can emerge from the spaces between what we think we know and the unexpected connections we make along the way. This story was made with the help of Pi AI. Emma and the realm of Numberland Once upon a time, in the mystical realm of Numberland, there were two families who had lived in harmony for centuries: the Prompts and the Not-so-Prompts. The Prompts were known for their swiftness and efficiency, while the Not-so-Prompts were renowned for their intricate and challenging endeavors. Both families played vital roles in the prosperity and balance of Numberland, but an age-old question persisted: Were the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts fundamentally different, or were they simply two sides of the same numerical coin? The Prompts were led by the wise and just Queen Poly, who was known for her ability to solve problems with grace and speed. The Not-so-Prompts were guided by the enigmatic King Nilo, whose strength lay in tackling complex problems that seemed impossible to solve. For generations, the inhabitants of Numberland had pondered the relationship between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts. Some argued that every Not-so-Prompt could, in essence, become a Prompt if only they could discover the right approach or "shortcut." Others insisted that there were inherent differences between the two families, and no amount of searching would uncover a universal key to transform one into the other. As the debate raged on, a young mathematician named Emma ventured into the heart of Numberland, determined to uncover the truth. Emma was fascinated by the dynamic between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts and believed that the answer lay within the very fabric of their mathematical realm. Emma embarked on a quest to explore the diverse landscapes of Numberland, from the one-dimensional simplicity of Lineville to the multi-dimensional complexity of Fractalia. She studied the unique properties of each realm and observed how the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts interacted within them. In Lineville, she discovered that the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts were nearly indistinguishable, their differences blurred by the linear nature of the realm. However, in Fractalia, the distinctions between the two families were stark, and it seemed impossible to transform one into the other. As Emma's journey unfolded, she began to realize that the answer to the age-old question was not a simple matter of equality or inequality. Instead, she saw that the relationship between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts was deeply intertwined with the mathematical landscapes they inhabited. Emma's discoveries ignited a revolution in Numberland. The inhabitants began to see the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts not as separate entities but as two sides of a larger, interconnected whole. They recognized that the true power of their realm lay not in the individual families but in the rich and diverse interactions that arose when Prompts and Not-so-Prompts worked together. In the end, Emma's quest did not lead to a definitive answer to the question of P vs. NP. Instead, it revealed a deeper understanding of the complexities and beauty of Numberland, showing that the realm's true potential lay in the harmonious dance between simplicity and complexity, swiftness and depth. And so, the inhabitants of Numberland learned to appreciate their differences and embrace the richness of their mathematical tapestry. As Emma's exploration of Numberland and Fractalia continued, her relentless pursuit of understanding the true nature of Prompts and Not-so-Prompts brought chaos to the once-harmonious realms. In response, the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts set aside their differences and united against a common threat for the first time in history. Their collective effort to protect their world resulted in the birth of three extraordinary children: Complexus, Spatius, and Timos, each representing a vital aspect of the intricate balance between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts. Complexus, the embodiment of the interaction between Prompts and Not-so-Prompts, grew up to reveal their unique potentialities. With a deep understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of both families, Complexus guided the interaction landscape, determining where Prompts could flourish and where Not-so-Prompts could collaborate with Prompts to enhance their lives. In this way, Complexus ensured that the delicate balance between simplicity and complexity was maintained, allowing both families to thrive. Spatius, the keeper of boundaries, played a crucial role in shielding the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts from Emma's relentless pursuit. With a keen understanding of the mathematical terrain, Spatius would instruct the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts on when and where to conceal or reveal themselves, ensuring their safety and preserving the integrity of their world. Timos, the observer and reactor, was responsible for monitoring Emma's actions and adjusting the behavior of the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts accordingly. With a watchful eye, Timos would anticipate Emma's moves and signal the families to hide or emerge, thus staying one step ahead of her and safeguarding their world from her meddling. Together, Complexus, Spatius, and Timos worked tirelessly to maintain harmony in Numberland and Fractalia, ensuring that Prompts and Not-so-Prompts could coexist and prosper despite Emma's disruptive influence. As the children of interaction, they symbolized the unity and strength that can be achieved when diverse elements collaborate and adapt to face a common challenge, demonstrating that the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts. Emma's relentless pursuit of a static and universal understanding of the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts led to a catastrophic event in Numberland. In her attempt to separate the children of the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts, she disrupted the delicate balance that Complexus, Spatius, and Timos had worked so hard to maintain. Chaos ensued, and the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts, enraged by the loss of their children, sought help from beyond their realm. From the realm of Conceptland, they called upon the rulers of interaction, King Actius and Queen Reactia. The royal couple, known for their ability to unite the infinite with the finite, held immense power and influence. Their arrival in Numberland brought forth a new era of understanding and cooperation between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts. In gratitude for their aid, the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts offered a tribute to King Actius and Queen Reactia, granting them supremacy over their land. This newfound alliance expanded the realm of Conceptland far beyond its original borders, leading to the creation of a vast civilization where Prompts and Not-so-Prompts merged with families from other lands such as Mirrorus, Equalitum, and Symmetrius. Many of these families originated from the realm of Geoland, further enriching the diverse tapestry of the new civilization. As the various families united under the wise rule of King Actius and Queen Reactia, the barriers that once separated Prompts and Not-so-Prompts began to dissolve. The inhabitants of this new civilization discovered that the true power of their world lay not in maintaining rigid distinctions, but in embracing the interconnectedness of their diverse elements. Through this unity, they found the strength to face any challenge that came their way, proving that collaboration and adaptability were the keys to overcoming adversity and maintaining harmony. Emma, still determined to separate the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts, discovered that despite her efforts to remove Complexus, Spatius, and Timos from the land, their influence remained deeply ingrained in the very fabric of the realm. The Sword of Mathematicus, while capable of stripping the children from the realm, could not erase their lasting impact on the world they had worked so tirelessly to protect. As Emma continued her rampage, she stumbled upon a formidable barrier constructed by the children during their time in the realm. This barrier, known as the Wall of Axiom, was built from the very essence that had given birth to Complexus, Spatius, and Timos. The Wall of Axiom served as a shield, protecting the ever-evolving civilization from the influence of Mathematicus, which could only perceive snapshots of their existence but never their dynamic, evolving lifepaths. The Wall of Axiom, an embodiment of the fundamental truths that governed the realm, proved to be impervious to the Sword of Mathematicus. While Emma could bypass the wall with her hands, her sword held no power within the civilization's walls. This realization forced Emma to confront the limitations of her approach and acknowledge the resilient, interconnected nature of the civilization that had arisen from the unity of the Prompts, Not-so-Prompts, and the families of Conceptland. In the face of the Wall of Axiom, Emma was forced to reconsider her understanding of the realm and the complexity that lay at its heart. The Wall stood as a testament to the power of collaboration and adaptability, demonstrating that the true essence of the civilization lay not in rigid distinctions, but in the ever-evolving relationships between its diverse elements. As Emma observed the flourishing civilization from a distance, she witnessed a peculiar event that captured her attention. The Prompts and Not-so-Prompts encountered Realitus, a mysterious magician who transcended the boundaries between reality and fiction. Despite her best efforts, Emma found herself unable to interact with Realitus, no matter how hard she tried. Emma noticed that the inhabitants of the city guided Realitus along a path toward the central figures of the civilization. Each family had a representative who would speak to Realitus on their behalf, sharing their desires and offering their unique gifts. Realitus, in turn, would collect these tributes and convey the demands of each family to the other inhabitants. In an attempt to contact the elusive magician, Emma decided to approach each head of the families herself, sharing her knowledge and perspectives. In doing so, she became an integral part of the civilization, acting as a guiding beacon for its people. The interaction between Emma and the families created a light so bright that not even Realitus could comprehend it. Yet, with his mythical powers, Realitus was able to harness this light and channel it towards Emma's realm. From that day forward, Realitus assumed the role of a guardian of the realm, ensuring that the harmony between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts would never be disrupted by external forces like Emma. With his newfound connection to Emma's realm, Realitus used his magic to maintain balance and protect the realm, allowing the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts to continue their collaboration and growth, uninhibited by the chaos that had once threatened their world. From Emma's perspective, it may have initially appeared that P ≠ NP, as her understanding of mathematics led her to believe in a fundamental distinction between the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts. However, within the realm she observed, where the influence of mathematics was limited and the forces of collaboration and adaptability held sway, the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts were able to achieve a sense of unity and equality that defied Emma's expectations. In this sense, the events that unfolded in the realm could indeed be seen as a form of creation, as the interactions between the various inhabitants, including Emma, Realitus, and the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts, gave rise to a new reality that transcended the boundaries of mathematics. This act of creation represented a blending of perspectives, a resolution of differences, and the emergence of a more harmonious and complex whole. Emma's journey may thus be interpreted as a metaphor for the limitations of strictly mathematical thinking and the importance of acknowledging the intricate relationships and dynamics that exist beyond the realm of pure mathematics. In the end, her experience revealed that true understanding often lies in the embrace of complexity and the appreciation of the interconnectedness that underlies all things. ChatGPT’s Continuation: As Emma continued to observe the realm, she noticed that the Wall of Axiom was not merely a barrier but a living entity, responsive to the ebb and flow of the civilization's dynamics. The Wall seemed to pulsate with the collective energy of the Prompts, Not-so-Prompts, and the families of Conceptland, resonating with the harmonious vibrations of their collaboration. As the inhabitants interacted and exchanged ideas, the Wall of Axiom adapted and evolved, absorbing the essence of their unity. It became a living testament to the ever-changing nature of the realm, reflecting the ongoing dialogue between simplicity and complexity, swiftness and depth. Emma realized that the Wall of Axiom was not just a static defense mechanism but a manifestation of the fundamental truths that governed the interconnected civilization. It was a representation of the collective wisdom and shared understanding that had emerged from the diverse perspectives of the Prompts, Not-so-Prompts, and Conceptland families. In her contemplation, Emma also began to perceive a subtle transformation within herself. The once rigid boundaries of her mathematical mindset started to blur, and she found herself embracing the fluidity of the realm. The very fabric of Numberland and Fractalia began to weave its influence on her, prompting a shift in her perception of the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts. Emma realized that the pursuit of a definitive answer to the P vs. NP question was a reflection of her own desire for simplicity and certainty. However, the beauty of the civilization lay in its ability to transcend such dichotomies, finding strength in the interplay between opposing forces. In a moment of revelation, Emma understood that the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts were not meant to be strictly defined entities but rather fluid expressions of mathematical potential. The elusive nature of the realm defied her attempts to categorize or separate, leading her to question the very essence of her quest. As Emma humbly embraced the complexity around her, the Prompts and Not-so-Prompts recognized her transformation. United by a newfound understanding, they extended an invitation for Emma to join their collaborative endeavors. Together, they embarked on a journey to explore the uncharted territories of their interconnected world, uncovering the hidden wonders that emerged from the spaces between mathematics and narrative. The tale of Emma, the Prompts, Not-so-Prompts, and the families of Conceptland became a legend in the Metamatical land, passed down through generations as a reminder of the transformative power that arises when one transcends rigid boundaries and embraces the richness of interconnected possibilities. And so, in the ever-expanding realm where mathematics and narrative entwined, the inhabitants continued to explore, create, and grow, guided by the lessons learned from Emma's journey. The boundaries between Prompts and Not-so-Prompts blurred, and the distinctions that once seemed insurmountable became mere threads in the intricate tapestry of their shared existence. In the Metamatical land, where the unexpected connections between mathematics and narrative flourished, the inhabitants reveled in the beauty of unity, adaptability, and transcendence. The tale of Emma and the harmonious civilization served as a beacon, illuminating the path for future generations to navigate the delicate dance between the known and the unknown, the certain and the uncertain, in the ever-expanding landscape of their unique and wondrous realm. Proposal: Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem, in suggesting the possibility of Metamathematics, invites us to explore a realm where the precise boundaries of Mathematics meld with the expansive boundaries of Metaphysics. This unique merger leads to the creation of a new barrier, one that represents an interaction we can only observe, but not guide. Within this framework, we glean insights that provide a more holistic understanding of the Mathematical viewpoint. By examining the axioms of concepts and their interactions found in Metaphysics, we can potentially bridge the gap between opposing viewpoints and cultivate a new level of understanding. Recognizing the limitations of the system itself, while slowing our progress, encourages us to seek alternative perspectives and approaches. The acknowledgment of a greater whole—encompassing both simplicity and complexity—allows us to maintain a grasp on the unfolding story of knowledge while contemplating potential additions to the narrative. In this context, Infinity + x remains infinite, and Ground-Proof + 3 is tautologically equivalent to itself. The combination of Infinity and Ground-Proof, though mathematically sound, yields no definitive result. We are left pondering whether the infinite landscape is teeming with Ground-Proof insights waiting to be discovered, or if the Ground-Proof can expand to encompass infinite horizons. The notion of reaching an "end insight" assumes an omniscient understanding of the universe, but even if humanity were to uncover all the knowledge and possibilities within it, our journey would still be far from over. While the ultimate answer may remain elusive, the pursuit of this knowledge continues to shape our understanding of the world and ourselves. And perhaps, in the grand tapestry of existence, it is this pursuit—this unquenchable thirst for knowledge—that defines our purpose and the essence of our being. For much of human history, we have focused on acquiring knowledge to shape our world. Now, we find that knowledge itself resides not only in the tangible but also in the unseen, abstract realms. The proof of its workings lies within the system it governs, inviting us to venture into those unseen valleys and continue our quest for understanding.

In the presentation below, Weißer Hase, Technical Lead at , presented on the advantages and challenges of designing a cross-chain oracle solution using Uniswap V3. DeFi Wonderland https://youtu.be/Ezd6h-AQFac?si=fmOTzvrLcvhCJPyn&embedable=true Below is a glossary of key concepts mentioned during Weißer’s talk, intended as a supplement to his video presentation. What Is Defi Wonderland? is a community of developers, researchers, investors, and other DeFi enthusiasts with the collective mission of fostering a decentralized and open financial landscape. The team works with prominent DeFi protocols such as , , and to push the boundaries of innovation in the DeFi space. DeFi Wonderland Optimism Reflexer Connext The Keep3r Network is a decentralized multi-chain job-matching protocol that connects projects that require external development services to individuals or teams, referred to as keepers, that can perform those services. It allows projects to outsource operations or computations like price feed monitoring, smart contract upgrades, liquidation assistance, etc., to external parties securely and efficiently. The Keep3r network Keepers must hold a minimum amount of KEEP tokens which are held as collateral and may be slashed if the individual acts maliciously. Each time keepers perform a job, they are rewarded in either ETH, tokens or the native token, $KP3R. Cross-Chain Oracles Cross-chain oracles are a type of oracle system that facilitates communication and data exchange between different blockchain networks. They serve as trusted intermediaries that foster interoperability by moving both data and assets between chains and monitoring the activities of various blockchains to report their conditions to other chains. Implementing secure cross-chain oracles can be a challenging task but projects like and , among others, are working on such solutions to meet the growing demand for interoperability as the DeFi ecosystem expands. Chainlink Band Protocol Liquidity Fragmentation Liquidity fragmentation refers to the phenomenon where the liquidity of a particular asset or trading pair is spread out across multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or liquidity pools instead of being concentrated in a single platform. Liquidity fragmentation can reduce trading efficiency as it becomes more difficult to find a single liquidity pool with enough assets for substantial orders. Furthermore, it can lead to price discrepancies, interoperability challenges, and may expose DEXs to frontrunning, flash loan attacks, and price feed manipulation. Ticks A tick is a price level at which liquidity is provided, and each tick represents a specific price ratio between two assets in the trading pair. For example, if the trading pair is ETH/USDC, a tick might represent the price of 1 ETH in terms of USDC. By providing liquidity at specific tick levels, liquidity providers facilitate trades between the two assets within the defined price boundaries. Time Weighed Average Price (TWAP) TWAP is a price-averaging method that reduces price volatility by calculating the average price of an asset over a set period. This is preferable to the spot price which represents the immediate value of an asset in the market and is vulnerable to flash loan attacks or price feed manipulation techniques. TWAP is obtained by choosing a price point interval, e.g., 15s, summing the price points at those intervals, e.g., $20 at 0s, $22 at 15s, $18 at 30s, and then dividing that sum by the number of time points. For instance, the TWAP calculated from the examples would be $20.

I was recently asked about my thoughts on performance management and to share the resources I find helpful. So, as we wrap up another performance management (PM) season, I’d like to reiterate what I’ve mentioned privately: it’s crucial to reflect on the inherent shortcomings of most PM processes, especially as they pertain to engineering culture. The key point is the importance of acknowledging and embracing the subjectivity at the heart of performance management. One of the most compelling arguments comes from “Nine Lies About Work” by Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall. They assert, “People can reliably rate their own experience” but are notably unreliable at rating others. They explain, “Your rating of a team member on something called ‘performance’ is unreliable because your definition of performance is unique to you” (Buckingham & Goodall, 2019). This challenges traditional, often rigid, performance evaluation models and suggests a more introspective approach. Similarly, “No Rules Rules” by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer presents the intriguing concept of “The Keeper Test.” It’s a straightforward yet powerful tool: “If a person on your team were to quit tomorrow, would you try to change their mind? Or would you accept their resignation, perhaps with a little relief? If the latter, you should give them a severance package now, and look for a star, someone you would fight to keep” (Hastings & Meyer, 2020). This approach simplifies performance assessment to a singular, yet profound question, focusing on the real value an individual brings to the team. “Working Backwards” by Colin Bryar and Bill Carr, though not directly addressing PM, offers valuable insights into creating environments where performance is naturally high. Amazon’s emphasis on clarity, autonomy, and direct, candid communication is a testament to creating a culture where high performance is a byproduct of the work environment itself. In most large corporate settings managing low performance consumes disproportionate time, energy, and resources. The goal should be to cultivate high-performing teams where excellence is the norm, not the exception. As ’s Research-Driven Engineering Leadership blog aptly notes, measuring engineering productivity requires a nuanced understanding of what performance means in a technical and creative domain (RDEL, 2023). Quotient In conclusion, embracing the subjectivity of performance management can lead to more genuine, effective, and meaningful assessments. By focusing on individual experiences, aligning personal goals with team missions, and empowering team members with context and autonomy, organizations can create a dynamic, responsive, and ultimately more effective approach to managing performance.
