Just a few hours ago, some key thinkers shared The Trustless Manifesto, a techno-optimist rallying cry for Ethereum-aligned values.
I like it a lot, and signed the contract
The contract itself is written in Vyper, a relatively obscure, but extremely readable smart contract language. It's a delightful read.
I was aiming to become signer #369 on the immutable blockchain[^1]. It costs between $0.01 and $0.03 to sign, which pays to execute the smart contract function call and update state on Ethereum mainnet.
[^1]: I was signer #378, with a handful of people interacting just a minute or two before me. You can see my transaction here
