building good blockchains, not just new ones
type GoodBlockchain struct {
Purpose string // must exist
OpenSource bool // must be true
Decentralized bool // must be true
Community []Human // must be diverse
}
we’ve got a problem: too many blockchains, too little purpose.
the crypto space is drowning in solutions looking for problems. another L1? great, throw it on the pile with the other 500. another bridge? cool story. another yield farm? yawn.
what we need are blockchains that solve real human problems, empower the powerless, and make the world slightly less screwed. nothing less will do.
Purpose ➔ Community ➔ Impact ➔ Evolution
open source isn’t just a feature - it’s oxygen. it’s not about throwing code on github. it’s about building in public, failing in public, learning in public. let people see how the sausage is made. messy? yes. necessary? absolutely.
accessibility is the difference between a tool and a toy. your blockchain is worthless if people can’t use it. period. build interfaces that don’t need a PhD to understand. write docs that actually make sense. speak human language, not crypto-bro. make it simple enough for your grandma, secure enough for a bank.
decentralization or death.
if your blockchain can be controlled by a boardroom of suits, congratulations – you’ve built a fancy database with extra steps. real decentralization spreads power thin, puts decisions in community hands, and builds resilience against human greed.
solve real problems or go home. want to know if your blockchain matters? ask yourself this: does it help someone who isn’t you? would it work without tokens? will anyone care about it in 10 years? if you’re hesitating, start over.
your job isn’t done when the code is deployed. that’s when it starts. host the hard conversations. call out the bullshit. push for ethical adoption. if big corps want in, make them prove they’re not just here for the hype.
this isn’t about building blockchains. it’s about building better systems for humans. ones that actually work for everyone, not just the tech-savvy or the wealthy.
“a good blockchain isn’t just a ledger; it’s a promise to do better.”
want to make an impact? start by asking the right questions, then build something worth building. the world has enough blockchains - it needs more builders who give a damn.
