Massive ETH treasury exploring Linea staking. Real utility or just insiders playing musical chairs?
Ethereum (Reddit)

SharpLink Gaming, which reportedly holds around $3.6B in ETH, is looking at staking a portion of it on Linea, rather than using custodians like Coinbase or Anchorage.

They’re part of the Linea Consortium, which controls 75% of the Linea token supply. So this isn’t just about better staking yields, it’s about aligning with a Layer 2 they have skin in.

Some things to think about:

— Are we seeing the start of big treasuries staking directly on L2s?
— Does this signal a shift away from centralized staking (Coinbase, Lido) toward ecosystem-aligned L2s?
— Or is it just a way for them to pump their bags under the "diversification"label?

If even a slice of that ETH moves into Linea staking, that’s a big message, both for institutional staking strategies and L2 adoption.

Too early to matter? Or a sign of where things are headed?

Is Ethereum still the best platform for building decentralized apps in 2025
Ethereum (Reddit)

With so many L2s and alt chains gaining traction, I’m curious where devs and users stand today. Are we still betting on Ethereum’s long-term dominance, or is the landscape shifting?

‌What mom hasn't told you about building in consumer crypto
Ethereum (Reddit)

gm,

Some of you here might know me as a "guy who runs Kiwi". Been working on this Ethereum Hacker News startup for about 2 years, but left this June. That gave me some time to reflect on both my experiences and hundreds of conversations with other consumer crypto builders I had since I joined the space.

Based on that I wrote an essay explaining how to avoid multiple 'fake PMF' signals, where you think "I am on track to something!" but you're just wasting time.

I think it's a huge problem in crypto and Ethereum, so if you're a builder, I hope this essay is going to help you.

(I think even investors might find it useful, as it helps to understand when project's growth is not real)
