- Have you ever read the โฟitcoin whitepaper written by satoshi nakamoto ๐ฅท๐ผ?
Did you know that it has 12 points where it is explained in detail how it works?
Let's take a look at it in a very practical and simple way ๐จ
Introduction: created on October 31, 2008 by an entity we all know, Satoshi Nakamoto. Explains that the objective behind this technology is to create a version of electronic money without intermediaries. This will be achieved using cryptographic signatures.
1. He (?) talks about financial entities, banks, electronic systems, as if they were a problem for modern times, specifically, touching on privacy issues. Compare these traditional system with a decentralized one.
2. ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, the paper refers to them, defining these as a chain of digital signatures, this is achieved through asymmetric cryptography (private key, public key).
๐ฏ. ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ, or how this chain is generated over time, keeping a hash of each block ๐ฒ.
๐ฐ. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ณ-๐ผ๐ณ-๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ช๐ผ, briefly explains what it is, how it works and how these blocks should be mined.
๐ฑ. ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ป or how the transactions will be issued, as well as the permissions and obligations they have. He (?) also talks about some possible conflicts when a node issuing blocks.
๐ฒ. ๐๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ โ๏ธ for mining to have value there must be an incentive, this is achieved by rewarding the block creators (the nodes) with a self-generated currency, BTC.
๐ณ. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ถ๐๐ธ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ let's make this a bit more technical ๐ง , here Satoshi explains how using a merkle tree 'architecture' (it is a data structure divided into several layers whose purpose is to relate each node with a unique root associated with them) where you can store huge pieces of information in something much smaller. Keeping the chain โ๏ธ verifiable and transparent.
๐ด. ๐ฆ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐จ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป all the nodes do not have to store the entire blockchain, making use of the merkle tree, they can take its header and validate transactions in a much more efficient way.
๐ต. ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ, let's talk a little bit about transactions ๐ค. In one transaction, whole or smaller values โโcan be transferred without the need to make several transactions per unit. This allows the value to be divided and settled.
๐ญ๐ฌ. ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐ If we take it to the traditional level, unlike the banking model, bitcoin allows private transactions, but at the same time they are publicly traceable. This is accomplished through the use of the public/private key. We only know which address generated the transaction, but not the owner.
๐ญ๐ญ. ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฐ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ What happens if someone wants to attack ๐ค๐ผ the network? How to defend against it?
The chances are very low, since the honest nodes, which watch over the security of the network, would be completely harmed by accepting the block from the attacking node.
๐ญ๐ฎ. ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ Satoshi gives us a conclusion about a currency that does not require trust, like the traditional money system, or the participation of financial entities, proposing the Proof Of Work method as a system of self-protection and incentives.
How many times did you have to read the whitepaper to understand it? Doesn't it seem like a good exercise to read the text that gave life to everything we use today within the web3 ecosystem?

- During 2023 so far I spent more time in Lenster than in Twitter โจ
- What are the most successful projects that were building and born during the 2018-19 bear market?
- Web3 has come a long way, & there is a lot to be excited about in 2023.
So what are the tools, products, protocols, & real-world use cases that are production-ready today?
Here are 7 things to be excited about this year from the perspective of a developer of 10+ yrs.
1. Permanent storage
At AWS, S3 was one of the first, most used, and useful services. Web3 storage solutions take managed storage a step further by introducing both immutability & permanence, something you can't get with traditional storage solutions.
This is why companies like Instagram chose Arweave to build out features that are simply not possible through other centralized architecture.
With newer protocols built on top of Arweave, like Bundlr, EXM, and Warp, the barrier to entry for users and developers has gone down drastically as it's now trivial to build high quality, performant applications on Arweave with better + easier to use APIs and gateways with improved UX.
2. Messaging
One of the big value propositions of web3, as a developer, was this idea of shared data and infrastructure.
Unfortunately at the time when I joined the space, April 2021, there wasn't much actually possible outside of DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and digital payments.
While these are all very interesting use cases, digital payments were the only thing that might be compelling to the "average" person in the world (something I'll touch on later).
Fast forward to today - one of the most exciting new protocols launched in the past year is @xmtplabs - a protocol for implementing encrypted and secure messaging.
If you need messaging in your app, or maybe you just want to build a new messaging app that has some cool new features that don't exist elsewhere, you can now tap into XMTP and leverage not only a high quality service - you also inherit the users of all of the other apps that have ever built with XMTP.
You no longer have to bootstrap an entirely new user base, all users across any app built with XMTP can pick up your app, sign in, and can continue their conversations from their other apps.
This is already happening and gaining momentum in the @lensprotocol ecosystem and elsewhere.
This value proposition that is enabled by shared, public, immutable data and infrastructure is the most powerful, underestimated, and underrated thing about web3, and the reason to be building with these tools and technologies.
3. Account abstraction (AA)
Scalability, accessibility, and UX are the biggest obstacles to adoption for blockchain technologies.
Account abstraction helps solve two of these challenges head on (accessibility and UX) and has quickly become one of the most prioritized features in protocol roadmaps, and popular topics in the blockchain community.
Account abstraction enables features like:
1. Social, email, or arbitrary account login
2. Gasless meta-transactions
3. Batching multiple transactions
4. Gas payments in arbitrary tokens
5. Multi-signature security
6. Social recovery
and more.
Protocols like Fuel are being built from the ground up to treat account abstraction as a first class citizen, while specifications like EIP4337 allow existing protocols to build account abstraction into existing protocols traditionally dependent on EOAs.
Biconomy has been working on tackling these challenges for years and offer an easy to use SDK and APIs to start building with right away, and whose implementation of account abstraction is based on EIP4337.
With gasless transactions and cheaper and cheaper execution environments, developers and teams can start to consider treating blockchain infrastructure the same as we've been treating traditional cloud infrastructure.
We can subsidize transactions which would remove the huge barrier to entry for the vast majority of the population - asking them to not only onboard the right tokens from the right exchange on the right network, they can instead just use our apps like they would any other app.
4. Better execution environments and L2s
Not long ago the speed, cost, block time, and time to finality of almost all networks was so slow and expensive that most use cases were prohibited, and the UX of the existing use cases was subpar to put it mildly (compared to centralized infrastructure).
Today, there are protocols that are either already being used in production or will be coming to market in the next ~6 months that provide an equal or better UX than traditional "web2" applications, made possible by sub second finality and transaction costs as low as less than $0.001.
Arbitrum Nova combines the latest step in the evolution of their technology, Nitro, with a data availability committee to offer a smart tradeoff between decentralization and security that provides a compelling solution for use cases like gaming and social media applications, like Reddit who is using it for their community points system.
Fuel bas built an entirely new execution environment and developer stack from the ground up, and is the fist modular execution environment. Using SwaySwap, which is built on Fuel, is already a better experience by a long shot than any traditional banking app I've ever used. (looking forward to trying it in production)
https://fuellabs.github.io/swayswap/swap
As a developer, having a fast and inexpensive execution environment paired with the highest quality DX I've seen in the blockchain world (including their own Rust-based language Sway, accompanied by a suite of high quality developer tools) is probably the most exciting place to be building, especially since they will be integrating not only with Ethereum but possibly other pieces of the modular stack like @celestiaorg.
Polygon has so much going on it's hard to keep up, not only with the volume of quality web3 infrastructure they are shipping, but the fact that countless companies like Nike, Instagram, Starbucks, Reddit, us at @lensprotocol, and others have chosen to build there.
There is a lot more happening, these are just some of the things I'm personally interested in.
5. Better abstractions
If you're a developer you've no doubt heard of, or possibly used, Vercel.
Vercel is wildly popular because it provides the best UX available for building and deploying web applications and features like serverless functions, which are very powerful while abstracting away the inferior UX of other cloud and managed service providers.
Decentralized infrastructure like Arweave and IPFS enable some of the same functionality, but in the past the UX and DX for building was not close to what services like @vercel offer.
With platforms and services like Fleek XYZ, Akord, and EXM developers can build and deploy applications and leverage storage functionality + serverless functions on these protocols without having to deal with tokens at all and instead just use an API key like they have done in the past.
The value proposition is that you inherit all of the use cases of traditional infrastructure but with immutability and, with Arweave, permanence.
6. Social graphs
There are ~4.9 billion social media users in the world as of today. Worldwide it is forecasted that there will be 5.85 billion social media users by 2027.
Social features pop up in almost every application we use today.
I joined @lensprotocol a few months after creating a tutorial video teaching developers how to build with Lens and realizing how web3 social could potentially be the key to mass adoption.
Like Serverless infrastructure and managed services (like Twilio and those offered by AWS, GCP, etc..) enable developers to quickly build scalable applications without having to manage back end infrastructure, Lens Protocol provides web infrastructure for building scalable applications with social features.
Instead of having to build, maintain, and iterate on their own back ends and APIs, they can instead focus on building out their web or mobile application while the Lens team continues to iterate and improve upon the back end infrastructure.
In addition to that, when they launch their app on Lens they inherit the x-100s of thousands (and in the future, millions) of users and ecosystem instead of having to bootstrap everything from scratch.
Combining the improved UX coming to market now with real-world use cases like social and messaging opens the door to countless opportunities for developers to build out unique and high quality experiences that literally cannot be built with centralized technologies, and importantly these are not strictly financial use cases for once.
7. Sybil resistance
One of the other big challenges of building in this space has to do with sybil attack and solving sybil resistance.
Multiple options for solving this now exist, most notable @gitcoin Passport and @worldcoin.
There is a lot more happening that I didn't cover, but for someone with somewhat limited bandwidth these are some of the main things I'm excited about this year.
2022 was a tough year, and it's hard to predict what will happen next, but for builders there has never been a more exciting or opportune time to be in this space โจ
