Blockchain

Ethereum - original smart contract platform
ZK rollups: ZKSync, Starknet, Hermez - High throughput Ethereum layer 2s, but not natively EVM compatible
Optimistic rollups: Arbitrum & Optimism - Ethereum layer 2s, EVM compatible (learn more about the differences between optimistic and ZK rollups here)
Polygon - Ethereum sidechain
Solana - high throughput, inexpensive transactions, fast block times, but harder to learn than EVM (Rust)
NEAR - Layer 1 blockchain, can write smart contracts in Rust or Assemblyscript
Cosmos - an ecosystem of interoperate blockchains
Polkadot - blockchain-based computing platform that enables blockchains built on top of it to execute transactions between themselves, creating an interconnected internet of blockchains
Fantom - EVM compatible layer 1
Avalanche - EVM compatible Layer 1
Celo - EVM compatible layer 1, designed to make it easy for anyone with a smartphone to send, receive, and store crypto
Tezos - Non EVM compatible layer 1, a lot of NFT projects are using it
Blockchain development environments

For EVM development, there are a few good development environments available:

Hardhat (JavaScript) is a newer option, but one that is gaining more and more popularity. Their docs are great, the tooling and developer experience is polished, and it�s what I�ve personally been using to build dapps.

Truffle (JavaScript) is a suite of tools for building and developing applications on the EVM. It�s mature, battle tested, and well documented. It�s been around for a while and many developers use it.

Foundry is a new Solidity development environment from Paradigm that shows a lot of promise. Key standouts are the ability to write tests in Solidity, support for fuzzing, and speed (it's written in Rust). I wrote a separate introduction to it here.

Brownie is a Python-based development and testing framework for smart contracts for Solidity / EVM development.

For Solana development, Anchor is quickly becoming the entry-point for new developers. It provides a CLI for scaffolding out, building, and testing Solana programs as well as client libraries that you can use for building out front ends. It also includes a DSL that abstracts away a lot of the complexities that developers often run into when they get started with Solana and Rust development.

File Storage

Where do we store images, videos, and other files in web3? Storing anything that large on-chain is usually prohibitively expensive, so we probably don�t want to store them there.

Instead, we can use one of a handful of file storage protocols:

IPFS - peer-to-peer file system protocol
pros: it�s reliable, well documented with a large ecosystem
cons: if data is not pinned it can be lost
Arweave - allows you to store data permanently, paying a single transaction fee. I�m a fan of Arweave and wrote a blog post about it here.
Filecoin - from Protocol Labs, the same team that build IPFS, it is a protocol designed to provide a system of persistent data storage. There are a handful of ways for developers to build on Filecoin, including web3.storage which is pretty nice.
Skynet - I have not yet used it in production, but have tried it out and it seems to work nicely. The API here looks great. I have questions like how long is the data persisted, and Skynet's interoperability with other protocols.
P2P Databases

In addition to file storage and on-chain storage, you may also need to store data off-chain. You might use these types of solutions similarly to how you might use a database in a traditional tech stack, but instead they are replicated across n number of nodes on a decentralized network, and therefore more reliable (at least in theory).

A few options are:

Ceramic Network - a decentralized, open source platform for creating, hosting, and sharing data. Ceramic also has a nice identity protocol that I�ll talk about later. Probably my favorite off-chain storage solution at the moment. Here�s a pretty nice demo.

Textile ThreadDB - a multi-party database built on IPFS and Libp2p. If I understand correctly, it may be going through a big API change at the moment. I�ve tried it and it shows some promise, but the docs and DX need some improvement.

GunDB - a decentralized, peer-to-peer database. Gun has been around for quite sometime and some pretty interesting applications have been built with it.

the thing is that people actually do prefer giant rear end synthetic diamonds that are priced much lower and can't be distinguished from "natural" diamonds. maybe on a carat per carat basis someone would prefer the mined diamond but shallowness means you just get a bigger synthetic rock to make up for it and it works swimmingly. diamond mining is a severely doomed industry

Flattr tried this business model ~10 years ago, and it failed. You could set a fixed amount to be distributed per month and click the "Flattr" button on articles or podcasts you liked. At the end of the month, your money was distributed among all your flattrs.

Or how about this, everyone has a config in their browser that lets them set the max amount they want to pay for any given page load. Then any site that wants to ask for money (so all of them) will say it needs money to access the page during the HTTP OPTIONS request. Then both sides simply engage in a high-frequency trading algorithm to try to out-bid the other, while the user's device locks up for several seconds as it attempts to spam buy requests. Eventually, your cat gif loads and your account is charged $10.01. (1 cent for the page load, $10 for transaction fees)

Gun has been around for quite sometime and some pretty interesting applications have been built with it.

Seems right to me.

I honestly don't know if he's gotten just so much more loving broke-brained over the last few years, or if I've just crack-pinged so hard that what previously seemed not all that unreasonable to me now sounds completely loving insane.

Now I'm imagining how different the web would be if everyone was charged per-connection the way phone calls are billed lmao

there are something like ten domains involved in just loading this page

the results of trying to load something like the new york times would be hilarious

I'm afraid MattY is already pursuing his passion - having the exact worst take on every single topic

the thing is that people actually do prefer giant rear end synthetic diamonds that are priced much lower and can't be distinguished from "natural" diamonds. maybe on a carat per carat basis someone would prefer the mined diamond but shallowness means you just get a bigger synthetic rock to make up for it and it works swimmingly. diamond mining is a severely doomed industry

they need to go full marketing into the human misery angle, really use the fact that a small child lost their hands getting this diamond onto that ring

so the meta verse is entirely a thing that exists because Facebook had some dudes from McKinsey tell them their brand name is toxic isn�t it

Pretty much. I had to sit through a metaverse presentation for work and you could replace every mention of "metaverse" with whatever social media platform you prefer and the context would be unchanged. The only piece you're missing is them trying to find a way to get people to actually adopt VR en masse (lmao no one has the space or money or time for this poo poo)

That's just a prank. In a scam you must convince someone to send you something of value.
