    🦄 Open source interfaces for the Uniswap protocol

  • Well you have uniswap's vote on the educational fund. Which IIRC was about allocating money to lobby for crypto.

  • opensea-js

    TypeScript SDK for the OpenSea marketplace

  • It's literally the exact same arguments from 3 years ago. 3 years ago there were very few real apps/users on ethereum. At that time, ether was mostly a pet rock like bitcoin with smart contracts attached. That's simply not true anymore.

    There is ether (the asset) and etheriumn (the chain), while usage of the latter accrues value to the former, the latter is what's important (and not the former). All that matters for these platforms is usage. There are other good level 1's with traction from users/developers (terra/solana specifically).

    The idea that there's going to be only 1 blockchain for value transmission or that users really care about highly technical points about decentralization are laughable. People care about the apps, use-cases, and [jpegs of rocks](https://opensea.io/).

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
