3 Giga-Brained Ideas From Consensus Day 2
One of the major selling points of crypto is that the industry is brimming with new ideas.

Another is Web3’s infamous barrier to entry, meaning the people that end up here tend to be committed – and, frankly, smart enough not to get blown out while self-custodying valuable assets.
