Ethereum is a sociotechnical polycentric transglobal fraternity of multivariant stakeholders ignited by a rich array of cultural imaginaries but which are ultimately bound together by the ineliminable core of the Cypherpunk values of decentralisation, permissionlessness, censorship resistance and credible neutrality, themselves philosophically secured by a confident Social Layer, in particular the ideologically-driven parts of the wider community.

Loudio is speed-running the obvious logical conclusion of the current state of socialfi / infofi.
That for some companies, the product matters less than the hype, attention, the noise - how loud people can be.
(and I know I might get socially slashed for sharing these thoughts)
But the more desperate a team is for attention, the more likely they are to pay for it.
Therefore it's logical to conclude that it's an inverse signal at this point, the opposite of the desired effect (paid leaderboards, paid shilling, etc..) - and not positive sum.
There is the potential to turn this into something that *is* positive sum if true quality, value, reputation was also tied to the companies / software / projects themselves.
And if the user's reputation was also weighed, and affected, by their participation in certain campaigns.
We could see the valuable companies rise to the top, and finally have a public and (more) accurate way to distill what's real, legitimate, high potential, etc... vs what isn't, what's a scam, etc...
Obviously a huge problem in crypto, and a challenge for most people - investors, job seekers, community members, etc...
This is obviously much harder to accomplish, but this is something I'm (and my team) are thinking deeply about and think verifiability plays a big role in the end (or a much higher quality) solution.
If Amazon Web Services were run like a crypto company there would be no AWS.
Instead, they would have spun off hundreds of siloed software products and services, each with their own token. Most of them valueless. None of them integrated, removing one of the biggest value propositions of the cloud.
Instead, they have a bundled suite of valuable and powerful services that all work well together. With literally countless applications and users.
If you're an on-chain developer, here some ways you can enhance your application with EigenLayer (non-exhaustive):
• Verifiable and high performance price / data feeds - @redstone_defi • Verifiable randomness - @arpaofficial • Verifiable zapier-like orchestration - @k3_labs @ava_protocol • Verifiable real-world off-chain data - @eoracle_network • Verifiable, private, and secure credentials over TLS - @OpacityNetwork + other zkTLS protocols • Verifiable proof of location - @witnesschain • Bridging - @hyperlane • VM interoperability - @skate_chain • Verifiable zk proof verification - @alignedlayer • Scalable zk proof generation - @lagrangedev @fermah_xyz • High throughput data availability - @eigen_da • Complex off-chain compute co-processing - @brevis_zk • Or build your own verifiable service @0xOthentic @LayerOnEth

We're working with developers building on @megaeth_labs @Mantle_Official @SonicLabs @base @berachain @solana @AbstractChain @monad_xyz @farcaster_xyz @Celo and almost every major chain.
EigenLayer services themselves are completely chain agnostic and can enhance any application with verifiable services or with arbitrary verifiable off-chain compute.

The crypto industry has so overindexed on hype that many people now think it's more valuable than actually building products that people want and use.
You can see this emanating from the communication and focus from many companies in this space. You might even be attacked for saying that it's not the most important thing.
This is the direct inverse of how real (actually valuable) software companies should (and do) actually function.
Number one focus should be on building something that attracts users. Something that solves a real problem. Something that people want.
Get it in the hands of users, and iterate relentlessly. Most else is a distraction.
