Hello /r/Ethereum!
Welcome to our new weekly discussion thread, "What are you building?" This is a space for developers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts to showcase their projects, share ideas, and seek feedback from the greater Ethereum community.
Share Your Projects: Whether you're developing a decentralized application (dApp), launching a new layer 2 network, or working on Ethereum infrastructure, we encourage you to share details about your project. Please provide a concise overview, including its purpose, current status, and any links for more information (do NOT provide X/Twitter or YouTube links - your post will be automatically filtered).
Engage and Collaborate: This thread is an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and application testers. Feel free to ask questions, offer feedback, or seek collaborations.
Safety Reminder: While we encourage sharing and collaboration, please be cautious of potential scams. Avoid connecting your wallet to unfamiliar applications without thorough research. Utilizing wallets or tools that offer transaction simulation (e.g. Rabby or WalletGuard) can help ensure the safety of your funds. Never give out your seed phrase or private key!
We are looking forward to hearing about how you are pushing the Ethereum ecosystem forward!
P.S. DevCon is soon (Nov 12-15)! Tickets are sold out but you can apply for the waitlist here.

Lots of changes since our most recent update!
- It's now possible to add a system prompt (for all models except Claude/Gemini ones)
- There's a dark/light mode switch next to new chat
- Export chats as PDF or Markdown by appending ?export=pdf or =md to the URL
- ALT + C for new chat, ALT + I for new image (Option C and Option I on Mac)
- Qwen QwQ 32b is Alibaba's answer to OpenAI's o1-preview. It "thinks", and only starts outputting later.
- OpenAI and Google released about 4 new versions of ChatGPT/Gemini, to constantly overtake each other on the leaderboards (we immediately push their newest version live every time). Google also released LearnLM, a model focused specifically on helping people learn new skills, which of course we added.
- Alibaba's Qwen Max, Qwen Large, Qwen Long and Qwen Turbo have been added, very low prices and up to 10m token context. Almost no other provider offers these models.
- Step-2-16k, another Chinese model, is also pretty much only available through us. It scores extremely well on the LiveBench comparison, and is very popular in China.
- Mistral Large and a ton of open-source models got added. These include many Roleplay/Storytelling models (more on that below) and two "abliterated" models, versions of models that have been finetuned to remove limitations and biases. They're uncensored versions, essentially.
- SillyTavern is an open-source front-end that many people use for roleplaying. Dylan was kind enough to do a pull request and add us in, so we're now natively supported and suddenly have a lot more users that are interested in roleplaying models, hence also the additions.
- "battleofcoins.com" lets you pick crypto, pick models, and have the AIs discuss and debate which one is best over multiple rounds. Very fun implementation, you can pick any selection criteria you want.
- We added lots of additional payment methods: Binance Pay, Coinbase Wallet, ETH + L2s, and a lot more. This is likely the last additions we did for a while there, since anything else feels like diminishing returns.
- We released payment stats on how much the different crypto were used. I'll add this into a comment because I'm afraid links will get the post removed. ETH but especially the L2s saw a lot of relatively small transactions - USDC was mostly used and transactions were often less than $1 dollar. We think it's pretty cool that people can spend their USDC from anywhere to use this, and we know some have built us into their on-chain bots and then pay using BASE. Cool stuff - we'd love to see more of it.
Also important for many of you: we have a working branch with file uploads. It can take excel files, pdfs, documents etc. We want to release it as soon as possible but it's also a change that needs quite a bit of testing, so we don't want to push it too soon and get people annoyed at how badly it works.
Any questions I'm all ears!
Hello! Last night I went through the process of digging up my old Binance account from 2017 to see if my crypto had gone up recently and I had about $1600! I was excited, but wanted it out of there and into one single platform (also, it was NOT Binance US, so I couldn't do anything but withdraw). I was happy to find it easy and I transferred my Ripple to Robinhood no problem. The Network option said "Automatically match the Network" and everything went through quickly. That was worth $600. Then I tried my $1k worth of ETH and the Network option didn't say "Automatically match" and I had to choose 1 of 4 options. With no explanation of the differences, I looked at the transaction prices and transfer times and chose the cheapest fee, Arbitrum. Nothing on Robinhood or Binance gave me warning that I need to pick the CORRECT network. I only found out after digging deeper on Robinhood to find that it doesn't accept transfers from other networks. Everything from customer service on both ends says it's lost forever. And googling also tells me so. Any help here would be appreciated. And if it's lost forever, I want to know for sure before I give up. Thanks
I'm hoping there's a solution to a problem I am having being new to crypto.
I want to buy some Lightchain AI (LCAI) that's in pre-sale. I followed all the instructions on the site but the "gas fees" are like $115 and I only have $60 of etherium I bought and specially downloaded and set up MetaMask and funded the Etherium there just to do this.
I can't buy any amount with my $60 etherium, but they mention ERC-20, which seems like the "underground tunnel" that some people use as a metaphor for second tier type Ethereum transactions... but ERC-20 is not a network I can select or enter on MetaMask. I was able to import that LCAI coin and see it on my dashboard, but since it's not being officially traded yet it's really complicated for me.
Is it just that LCAI doesn't want my $60 and anyone who wants to buy it pre-sale has to pay this $115 "gas fee"?
So confused...
Haven't seen fees like this for a long time, what the hell is going on? Almost 200 bucks for a swap.
Is there a plan to reduce gas fees or sth on the ethereum mainnet?
Stuff I found interesting:
- Martin Köppelmann says that Ethereum needs native L2s
- Christian Catalini says that everyone is wrong about stablecoins
- Gilbert and Sachin Benny show the relationship between Infrastructure and Ossification
- Ethereum Magicians discuss ETH issuance and Ethconomics
- Open source Privy alternative: Auth by Watchen
and a more light-hearted one: Jackie Chain online comic book adventures

Why I'm sharing it? I've been curating an Ethereum-focused newsletter for over a year now, and I thought I'd share here the most interesting reads I find.

Hi!
There's so much clients to manage your digital assets that I'm genuinely curious: what are the tools/wallets you use everyday to manage your web3 journey?
Underlying questions:
Whatever, I'm just curious about what you use everyday to send transactions, manage your assets (cryptos and assets), manage your smart accounts, etc.
Thanks!
Greetings,
About a year ago I foolishly fell for a scam and the scammer managed to steal 62k chainlink tokens from me...this is the transaction https://etherscan.io/tx/0xde07048f5200bb78a46a199bdc71ffa68c186e5003c5074634074082ff392101
My wallet is the one ending in 0xA...1276. I already reported this to my local police department as well as the IC3 and the FTC; however after a year of waiting for updates, I am getting nothing. May someone that is familiar with how to track down stuff be able to assist me? I'm not very saavy at this and would like help if possible. I constantly get panic attacks due to this event and even if I am not able to get my funds back, if the scammer/hacker can just face some kind of legal justice, that would be awesome.
Ethereum blobs have consistently hit their target throughout November, driving millions in fees for Ethereum. Over the last 7 days, blobs ranked as the #4 contributor to ETH burns.
Base is seeing a surge in transactions on the network.
This increased demand had an impact on transactions success rate, which have declined from ~90% to close to 70%.
This surge has also driven a significant rise in L2 revenue and profits. Despite the increased cost of blobs reducing L2 profit margins from ~99% to 90%, Base generated $4M in L2 profits last week alone.
Although I have been trading on-chain for a long time and have used some bots, I have no understanding of the theory behind Ethereum, especially what the Ethereum roadmap is really about.I hope there are recommended materials that I can read to understand the Ethereum roadmap (I think this should be an introduction).

Hi!
I'm looking for a good documentary about web3 and blockchain, which would not be "Crypto is a scam" or "tO tHe MooOOOoOn!!!!".
Especially, I'm looking for something that would approach tech innovation, smart contracts, dApps, etc.
The documentaries I've watched so far:
Thanks!
i have some USDC stuck in my ETH wallet. When i look it up on etherscan it shows up as toke holdings. How can i take these out ? Somebody sent me the USDC and accidentally sent them to my ETH Wallet and now i have those funds sitting in limbo basically. I read that i needed to fund the wallet with some ETH to cover gas fees but im stuck. Does anybody know a solution ?
Can anyone explain to me hyperliquid? Or point me to a resource?
Inknow the TLDR is its an onchain binance, BUT how come you can only deposit and withdraw USDC, where does it get thebliquidity for its spot tokens? And why cant withdraw others?

I know that the big promise in the crypto market for the future will be RWAs (Real World Assets), but are there any projects that are well-structured and grounded in this?
Trying to understand why I can buy ETH and pay $1.50 in gas fees but when I buy an alt coin on ETH network the gas fee is $25. (This is based on completing the transactions at the same time, not hours apart when gas fees are different)
I see Robinhood has finally added ability to send crypto. what would happen in this hypothetical scenario?
John sends 1X ETH from their Robinhood account to Jane's wallet. Jane lives in Puerto Rico, which has no capital gains tax. Jane sells that ETH for USD, and gives that money to John. John reinvests it to buy his original amount of ETH. Has John avoided capital gains tax on the value of that ETH?
