Towards the end of my tour at Cabin, Jonathan leaves me with two sayings that Cabin’s core contributors (like him and Rafa) are trying to distribute among the community: “The DAO provides” and “Manifest your role.” He also leaves me with a sticker of their logo.

Cabin has no formal job application process, geographic requirements, or time-bound commitments for completing bounties. It’s like playing Minecraft. You have some agency and all these tools. You get to decide where to apply them.

Solana

• Smart contract platform without  sharding or Layer 2s


• "Blockchain at NASDAQ speeds"  (actual original pitch deck tagline)

Ethereum is New York City; it is a happening place with the biggest DeFi protocols, the most TVL, the hottest DAOs and NFTs, but it is expensive. You scale by "building up skyscrapers" using L2 chain or "building out satellite towns" using interoperability networks that serve as highway connecting them.

Ethereum will probably be the most valuable chain because that’s where the money is.
