Hummers in the sketchbook 🤎

It wasn’t the headlines that got me; it was the hum of mining rigs burning energy just to keep a chain alive. That’s when I knew the space needed better. Pactus offered it. Built with SSPoS, runs on lightweight nodes, and welcomes anyone with a simple device.

Where does your data really live? For most people, it’s trapped inside centralised servers, rented space on someone else’s computer. But that’s slowly changing. Pactus is building something different: decentralised storage at the base layer. #layer1 #PAC

Most people think staking just means locking up coins and watching rewards roll in. But that’s only part of the story, and often where the problems begin. On many #blockchains, the more coins you have, the more you earn. Over time, this means that more power is concentrated in the wealthiest...

First, it was “decentralise everything.” Then came the Filecoin rush, data DAOs, and chains built just to hold terabytes. But somehow, the basics got lost in the noise. The real significance lies not in storing data, but in who controls it, who accesses it, and the power that comes with it. 🧵

I was in an argument with my friends when someone asked a question that froze the room: “Where does a blockchain begin?” Not the apps, not the coins, but the base. A moment of silence followed because many use crypto daily, but few know where the chain truly begins. 🧵 #DeFi #Pactus

I finished Greek Lessons by Han Kang so now I am switching over to science fiction. Hot book summer continues. #BookSky #books #reading #bibliophile #booksofBlueSky

My old sluggish laptop ran a full #blockchain node, stayed online, and helped secure a decentralised network, just because a "code" didn’t ask for much, but gave back plenty. That’s the quiet power behind @pactuschain.bsky.social, runs on lightweight nodes, built so anyone with internet can partake

A professor once gave students an impossible challenge. Design a machine that never fails, even when everything else does. They laughed, unsure if it was a trick. But one quiet student raised a hand and asked, “Can we prove it first, on paper?” That’s where the real answer began. #DeFi #Blockchain

Where does all this crypto even begin? I'm not talking about the tokens or NFTs, but the chain itself. Because most people use crypto daily, yet few know what truly sits at the foundation...

Sam swore #Ethereum was the internet’s hard drive, storing everything forever. But when I asked if he could store his music collection on-chain, his grin faded. Ethereum’s transactions live forever on archive nodes, but storing large files can incur high costs...

How to Connect Your Wallet to @1inchnetwork.bsky.social via Mobile Step 1: Open Your Mobile Wallet App You need a Web3 wallet that has an in-app browser, such as: MetaMask Mobile Trust Wallet Coinbase Wallet I will be using Metamask in this guide. Open your Metamask wallet app first. 🧵

When I first got into crypto, swapping any tokens, I’d pick a DEX, type in the pair, hit swap, and hope for the best. Sometimes it worked fine. Other times, the slippage was brutal, or I found out later that I could have gotten a better rate elsewhere. @1inchnetwork.bsky.social #DeFi 🧵

I was trying to swap some tokens, and $ETH gas was ridiculous. $15 to move 50 $ETH. That’s when I gave Fusion Mode a real look, and it changed how I think about trading altogether. #DeFi #Blockchain 🧵

What's the use of a web3 wallet if not to store crypto? You download one, write down your seed phrase, maybe send in a few tokens, and you’re good to go. That was the whole idea in my head, and honestly, I didn’t care to look deeper. But over time, that changed. @pactuschain.bsky.social #DeFi 🧵

On the surface, staking looks like just earning rewards, but in reality, you’re helping secure the entire blockchain. On @pactuschain.bsky.social, staking means real users keep the network running; no mining rigs, and no middlemen. You can start staking with Pactus today: pactus.org/download #DeFi

Now 1% wiser 😂

I saw staking as something advanced in the world of #crypto. Now I understand that it's putting your coins to work while helping keep the network secure. The way Pactus does it with SSPoS makes it feel a lot more straightforward. #Pactus #DeFi

Current immersion. Beautifully written. Is A River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane.

defended my thesis and officially have a PhD in Astrophysics 🥹🥹 5 years of hard work, dedication and lots of support from my advisor and the department 🫶 so grateful for what’s been and what’s to come

If you've been waiting for a clean way to get involved in a truly decentralized network, this is a good place to start. The setup is way more approachable than most. #Pactus #Blockchain

Pretty cool how much has been packed into this release. Full wallet control, validator bonding, even testnet support, right in the browser. Worth checking out if you’re into clean, self-custodial tools. #Pactus #DeFi

I used to argue blindly with my crypto friends about which blockchain was most secure. We'd go back and forth about PoW, PoS, DPoS and the rest, not because of facts, but because we loved the debate. DPoS, for example. Fast, but sacrifices decentralisation. @pactuschain.bsky.social #Pactus #DeFi 🧵

I think adults modeling their practice is invaluable. People love learning about "life hacks" that work for other people, so tell students how and why these practices will make their life easier in the long run #EdySkyChat
