GDP onchain SoonTM
The thesis for GDP onchain: Millions will stop paying for basic services including mobile, banking, energy as we bring more GDP onchain By moving onchain value is shared with network participants not concentrated in a few owners (this is how the internet has evolved so far). Onchain users will have more agency and options to monetize their time/attention, data and other energy resources in decentralized global and competitive marketplaces which are more efficient to surface price discovery. GDP on chain.

In the past, crypto has been a closed off isolated ecosystem only tangentially connected with traditional financial markets The global winds are shifting where you are going to start to see financial rails truly moving to crypto infrastructure When nation states start pushing their economies on chain and tokenizing everything A lot of the financial innovation you’ve seen in crypto like AMMs, incentivized liquidity, perps, fundraising launchpads, etc can be used with stocks, bonds - any other asset

Karak is the global base layer that allows anyone to create secure, specialized blockchain networks, optimized for internet markets. By adopting the Karak Network Stack (KNS) out-of-the-box, nation states can bring entire traditional financial markets onchain—stocks, bonds, options, derivatives, and other financial instruments—seamlessly connecting local economies to global markets. Access any market, any time, from anywhere in the world.

Developing more robust risk management products is something I think about constantly and don’t think there’s a more thoughtful team building with this as the primary focus. Have really enjoyed discussions with them on ways to build insurance and similar hedging products that can protect against restaking, slashing and other on chain risks Known this team for years and it’s great to see them finally launch 🍊
