Both the quantity & quality of applications exceeded my expectations! Our goal with this is to try and make Protocols, in crypto and beyond, a first class "conceptual citizen", to build a strong foundation to better understand them, and move past our current "protocol illiteracy"

It's a very tricky subject to tackle, but the folks we've gathered to think through this make me optimistic that we'll have a better set of perspectives and building blocks to think about protocols, and inspire further inquiry into this space 🕳️🐇

The diversity of backgrounds, breadth of approaches they are taking to the problem and raw talent this cohort has is incredibly exciting - can't wait to see what this leads to ☀️

And, last but not least, shout out to @vgr for shaping and leading the program, @joshdavislight for herding all the cats, and everyone else who has helped get SoP together 🫡
