Thank you, Ghost Nation. Welcome to the weekly roll up. Each week, I'm bringing on a different co host to help me go through the news. And this week is the last time that I do that, bringing up the rear, bringing up in the caboose. I have the pleasure of being joined by Brett. Brett is a crypto Twitter educator who's also working on Mega ETH. Brett, happy Friday. Happy to have you. It's
kind of appropriate that you introduce me as the caboose, given given some of my, some
of my pictures on the timeline. For those who know. For
for yeah. If you don't know, sometimes I post pictures of my ass online. So,
yeah. And everyone likes it. We were gonna have you on last week, Brad, but the tariff news just continued to rock the world, world, and we swapped in Haseeb to to talk about tariffs. But Haseeb also, I think, underhanded us with a lot of what we're gonna talk about today, which is, the MegaEase testnet came out last week. It's been one of the most anticipated, mainnet relaunches that's coming. Still, mainnet not here yet, but with the testnet, people can start to play around. And then the Mega ETH project has really just done a very good job attracting, unique apps. Like, not not crypto's two
Sure. That's actually a little bit of lore for everyone else listening is, like, you know, you and I even talked about, like, potentially working together, trying to do something because you're right. I I cut my teeth over the last, like, year and a half as, like, educator is just how you introduce me. Like, I I come from a history of, in web two where I worked in actually the the medical industry on the IT side. So, like, I traveled the world basically talking about complex technical stuff to clinical people. So, like, no one no one knew any of the underlying stuff. So I got pretty good at at
I think we are still in the hype phase of, many of these blockchains, Mega Eth included, Monad. But there's a bunch of, you know, not life chains that everyone is very stoked about. And so people's imaginations are allowed to, you know, go go pretty wild. The, line that Haseeb gave us last week that I really liked was that this isn't just like a blockchain with very fast block times. This is so incredibly fast that it starts to really change the form factor for what even a blockchain looks like because the block times are are so fast, ten millisecond block times that it's a streaming blockchai
I mean, you alluded to it last week whenever you're talking for anyone that saw that. And it's just like, yeah, a lot of the things that we built into or have is, like, just standard stuff in our ecosystem just isn't ready to handle it. One is just, like, the literal, like, logic and, like, low latency, updates you have to do to your systems to make stuff work. But other stuff is, like, something as nuanced as we're used to a confirmation spinning wheel coming up. Right? So, like, if you think about your user flow in our space, someone comes, they click swap, a modal pops up, it gives you a me
So the the news last week was that the mega ETH test net was out. What has that looks like. Maybe you can, again, show us a a little bit behind the curtain. What's what's going on now that the test net has been out for, like, ten days or so? How has the community received it? What are they doing? What's happening? Yeah.
