Welcome
to
Devcon
again
and
welcome
back
to
Devcon
for
many
people,
my
name
is
I
am
yaguchi
from
the
theme
foundation
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
executing
with
subtraction
in
the
infinite
Garden,
so
this
Devcon
feels
very
special
for
everyone.
First,
it's
been
a
long
time.
It's
been
three
years
since
the
last
step
gone
and
the
second.
The
marriage
just
happened,
like
you
saw
and
merge,
is
very
special,
not
only
because
of
the
technical
advancement
made
to
the
protocol,
but
also
because
of
how
this
giant
project
was
executed
by
a
decentralized
ecosystem.
A
I
share
the
vision
of
infinite
Garden
last
year,
the
vision
of
ethium
to
stay
full
of
infinite
players
growing
as
organically
as
possible
to
maintain
the
soul
of
ethereum.
The
merge
was
a
great
example.
Those
who
walked
on
the
merch
are
definitely
infinite
players.
They
didn't
do
it
for
themselves.
To
win
the
world,
will
let
everyone
to
join
at
different
layers
more
easily,
and
the
work
is
great,
a
great
example
to
show
how
our
game
was
played
to
continue
the
play
not
for
someone
to
win.
A
A
A
Time
has
passed
and
I've
been
frequently
asked
about
subtraction
recently
and
I'm.
Never
a
fan
of
talking
about
ideas
before
acting
on
it
where
I
grew
up
in
Japan.
We
have
this
word
called,
which
literally
means
shut
up
and
do
the
work
so,
but
today
I
feel
ready
to
talk
about
it
a
little
bit
more
because
we
have
acted
on
it.
We
have
acted
on
since
then,
since
the
time
that
I
spoke
about
it
in
plug,
it
has
become
our
key
principle
any.
A
In
fact,
it
is
also
our
underlying
strategy
for
us
to
make
decisions
and
take
actions
and
the
more
I
think
about
how
subtraction
is
important
to
the
ethereum
foundation.
The
more
I
feel
that
subtraction
is
best
for
ethereum
and
that
this
can
be
also
applied
by
others.
So
today,
I'm
here
to
reintroduce
subtraction
with
the
story
of
how
the
idea
was
born
and
sharing
some
examples
with
the
hope
for
this
to
be
your
inspiration
so
how
it
began
when
I
joined,
acne
Foundation-
to
be
honest,
EF
was
not
really
in
an
organization
or
okay.
A
Hudson
is
laughing.
It
was
more
like
a
collection
of
devs
and
researchers
doing
different
projects.
There
was
not
even
a
finance
team
nor
our
grand
team,
and
there
was
no
system
to
collaborate
with
Indonesian
Foundation
very
well,
and
so,
however,
the
decentralized
ecosystem
was
pretty
already
pretty
big
already.
A
A
A
A
Luckily,
my
blank
was
less
Engineers
to
add,
because
of
my
background
and
I
was
able
to
see
two
paths
to
take.
One
is
to
road
to
add
to
build
the
EF
Empire.
The
other
is
to
subtract
standing
in
front
of
the
fork.
I
intuitively
felt
following
the
past
two
hours
long
and
decided
to
go
to
the
other
way
from
there.
Subtraction
became
My
Philosophy
to
build
our
team
and,
like
I
said
it
has
also
become
our
underlying
strategy.
A
To
achieve
our
mission,
the
mission
to
support
the
ethereum
ecosystem,
the
infinite
Garden
to
support
the
extreme
entire
ethereum
ecosystem
as
a
whole,
not
just
specific
projects
with
subtraction
EF
shifted
its
all
to
support
the
entire
ecosystem,
which
led
to
the
ecosystem,
Support,
Program,
ESP
and
the
other
Grant
work.
We
prioritize
boosting
external
groups
as
much
as
we
can.
It's
also
led
to
third-party
allocations
to
empower
other
organizations
to
give
grants
like
us,
Bitcoin
CLR
fund
political,
political
monologue,
for
example,
and
it
is
always
important
to
go
back
to
why.
Why
do
we
subtract?
A
The
ultimate
reason
is
like
I
said,
because
subtraction
is
best
for
ethereum.
Subtraction
is
best
for
ethereum
and,
in
fact,
I
believe
it
is
critical
for
ethernet
decentralization
best.
Part
of
ethereum
is
that
it
is
decentralized
and
because
of
this,
the
ecosystem
has
unique
challenges
and
I
see
subtraction
as
a
strategy
to
achieve
two
main
goals.
The
goals
that
are
important
to
tackle
the
unique
challenges
of
this
decentralized
ecosystem
and
here
are
two
goals.
A
The
first
goal
is
to
subtract
to
seek
the
right
balance.
Building
an
EF
Empire
and
solving
all
the
problems
ourselves
might
have
made
ourselves
look
good
for
the
short
run,
but
that
would
have
discouraged
others
to
feel
that
this
ecosystem
is
for
everyone
to
build,
and
the
EF
could
also
have
become
one
single
point
of
failure.
A
If
we
kept
adding
the
ecosystem
rely
on
their
forever,
and
it
is
not
just
about
also
EF
gaps
and
imbalances
happen,
naturally,
in
the
decentralized
ecosystem,
and
especially
when
everyone
is
trying
to
add
second
goal,
is
to
subtract
to
focus
on
what
is
most
important.
A
A
A
Does
anyone
remember
either
in
the
old
website
in
2018,
or
are
you
not
that
I
got
this
thanks
to
internet
archive,
so
the
website
used
to
be
about
the
project
within
the
year.
For
example,
it
suggested
you
to
download
a
wallet
that
A
Team
India
was
building
and
all
the
guidance
and
instructions
were
made
by
the
EF
people
in
the
bottom.
It
also
showed
how
EF
is
the
main
team,
so
restructuring
and
redesigning
this
website
ethernet.org
started
in
2018.
A
A
And
another
example
of
balance
is
regional
diversity.
Ethereum
is
still
Western
oriented,
unfortunately,
and
the
more
important
information
is
out
there
in
English
English
and
more
communities
have
developed
in
English-speaking
countries,
despite
the
fact
that
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
in
places
like
Latin,
America
or
Asia,
for
example.
This
is
why
we
chose
bhagra
and
Latin
America
for
Devcon
and
have
been
supporting
teams
and
individuals
in
the
in
the
region
for
them
to
build
their
own
communities
through
education
and
events
and
other
activities.
A
The
next
billion
initiative
is
also
for
the
balance.
Seeking
two-thirds
of
the
baby
is
born.
Today
are
from
developing
or
emerging
economies.
There
are
the
next
billion
users
or
the
Builders
of
ethereum.
We
must
include
them
and
we
have
to
start
now.
We
also
invited
50
Scholars
to
depcon
to
have
potential
to
be
the
next
change
makers.
They're.
Also
here
today,
laughs.
A
A
So
when
we
are
supporting
the
project
run
by
a
team,
we're
not
really
looking
at
the
gloss
of
that
single
team,
we
are
looking
at
what
the
glows
can
do
to
the
entire
ecosystem.
In
the
long
run,
we
want
to
increase
open
participation
and
open
competition,
because
that
would
benefit
the
entire
ecosystem
for
the
long
run.
For
example,
the
client
Community
has
not
been
Diversified
enough
and
even
though
gas
is
from
the
yeah,
the
team
gets
themselves
see.
That
is
a
problem.
A
A
There
are
many
things
that
have
been
born
from
the
year.
The
team
in
ens
was
the
project
Nick
Jensen
studied
at
the
ethereum
foundation.
We
suggested
that
they
graduate
from
the
Year
back
in
2018
and
with
the
help
with
Virgil,
who
is
not
here
today,
but
they
understood
the
importance
of
this
project
becoming
independent
for
the
long
long
run.
A
A
You
may
know
heart
heart
from
nomik.
They're
from
Argentina
was
one
of
the
major
things
that
you
have
supported
for
the
focus
on
the
developer,
experience,
which
back
then
was
something
that
only
F
could
do
and,
as
you
know,
it
has
become
also
very
successful
project
from
there
nomik
decided
to
become
a
foundation
to
be
able
to
support
things
in
the
develop
devx
domain
and
Derek
spark.
A
Who
is
the
team
that
we
also
support
is
been
doing
the
research
and
sorry
research
of
general
knowledge,
Booth
and
also
like
support
the
applications
of
ZK
to
also
made
the
decision
to
become
a
foundation.
So
these
are
a
great
example
of
how
our
subtraction
is
creating
more
space
for
others
to
participate,
and
then
they
also
subtract
for
others.
A
So
EF
may
be
in
a
unique
position
in
a
system
and
an
EF
could
not
have
been
able
to
start
with
subtraction
if
there
were
there's
nothing
to
subtract
from,
but
I
do
not
think
subtraction
only
matters
for
EF,
or
only
for
non-profit
organizations
since
I
believe
infinite
Garden
is
for
Everyone
by
everyone.
There
is
always
a
chance
for
everyone
to
use
this
philosophy.
A
For
your
guidance,
I
will
share
the
myth
and
about
subtraction
and
key
things
to
remember.
First
subtraction
requires
high
standard
and
real
execution,
so
the
biggest
myth
about
subtraction
is
that
you
should
do
less.
You
know
it
aims
to
subtract
power,
but
not
the
amount
of
work
or
amount
of
effort.
In
fact,
it
certainly
requires
more
work
to
do
when
I
subtract,
my
power
I
can't
just
make
people
do
do
things
and
I
I
have
to
explain
and
convince
others
to
feel
that
they
should
act
in
one
way.
A
That
requires
education,
communication
and
more
research.
If
you
have
been
any
part
of
the
merge,
you
understand
better
than
others
how
it
requires
more
work
to
do
a
project
doing
in
a
decentralized
way,
subtracting
your
power
not
being
a
boss,
then
doing
it
in
in
in
a
centralized
way.
Using
centroids
power.
A
I
also
mentioned
how
human
Blazer
used
to
adding.
That
means.
Also,
the
subtraction
is
harder
to
be
recognized.
There
has
been
study
to
prove
people
tend
to
fail
to
recognize
when
something
is
subtracted
compared
to
when
something
is
added.
So
if
the
purpose
of
your
work
is
to
be
recognized,
choosing
subtraction
makes
it
harder
to
achieve
that.
Your
motivation
needs
to
be
something
else.
Other
than
being
recognized.
A
Subtraction
also
does
not
fulfill
the
best
interest
of
just
one
person
or
a
team.
For
example,
your
team
may
have
investors
who's
interested
in
the
goals
of
your
team
or
the
profit
they
can
make
out
of
it,
or
even
without
that
people
tend
to
want
to
please
those
who
are
in
front
of
them
for
the
short
term.
So
when
you
subtract,
you
are
doing
it
for
the
whole
ecosystem,
which
would
benefit
to
yourself
in
the
long
term.
Subtraction
always
comes
with
with
long-term
thinking.
A
A
But
I
also
want
to
share
the
positive
size
of
this
to
clarify.
First,
you
should
know
that
you
can
add,
with
the
subtraction
philosophy.
Ef
did
add
things,
for
example
we
added
ESP
and
when
we
think
about
you
know
how
to
like
who
to
give
guns
and
how
to
do
that.
We
first
think
about
what
problems
ethereum
has
today
and
after
that,
instead
of
thinking
about
how
can
we
solve
those
problems?
A
We
asked:
how
can
communities
solve
these
problems
and
how
can
we
help
them?
So,
yes,
we
can
add,
but
the
important
things
is
for
us
to
ask
this
question
before
adding
and
subtraction
can
be
actually
exciting.
Subtraction
makes
space
for
others.
Making
an
open
space
for
others
to
join
is
truly
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
ethereum
attracts
so
many
people.
Yes,
it
helps
to
have
more
people
to
secure
the
network,
but
isn't
it
just
fun
to
work
with
more
people.
A
A
So
there's
just
this
undeniable
excitement
to
be
able
to
empower
and
to
see
others
grow,
and
we
tend
to
think
if
we
subtract
power
and
Empower
others,
the
same
amount
of
power
will
be
split
into
the
number
of
people
you
empowered.
That
is
not
true
games
in
the
infinite
Garden
is
not
a
deal
some
game,
EF
subtracts,
so
you
can
add,
and
when
you
grow
and
learn,
the
Mastery
will
let
others
other
new
players
to
add
and
glow
there.
With
this
Mastery
and
growth,
the
energy
in
total
is
exponentially
glowing.
A
A
A
To
conclude,
my
talk,
if
you
feel
a
little
bit
inspired,
ask
those
questions.
Do
I
need
better
balance,
do
I
need
better
focus,
and
if
the
answer
is
yes,
maybe
you
can
look
for
things
to
support
in
your
work
or
in
even
in
your
life,
you
may
have
to
wait
for
the
best
timing
or
also
think
about
other
trade-offs.
But
the
important
thing
is
to
know:
subtraction
is
an
option
for
everyone,
and
you
might
be
surprised
how
that
would
expand
your
opportunities.
