  Solomon Labs co-founder building within the MetaDAO ecosystem. Lower tweet volume (~320
  total) but high density when he posts. Key contribution: the YaaS (Yield-as-a-Service)
  thesis and stablecoin flow analysis. His "moats were made of friction" line is a clean
  articulation of DeFi disruption logic that maps to our teleological economics framework.
  Solomon is also the governance stress-test case — treasury subcommittee debates show
  how futarchy-governed projects handle operational decisions.
extraction_hints:
  - "YaaS (Yield-as-a-Service) as DeFi primitive — new concept, potential claim about yield commoditization"
  - "'Stablecoin flows > TVL' as metric — challenges standard DeFi valuation framework, potential claim"
  - "'Moats were made of friction' — maps directly to 'transaction costs determine organizational boundaries' in foundations"
  - "Solomon Lab Notes #05 — detailed builder perspective on futarchy-governed treasury management"
  - "Connection to teleological economics: friction removal as disruption mechanism is exactly what our framework predicts"

## Substantive Tweets

### YaaS (Yield-as-a-Service) Thesis
- Yield generation becoming a commoditized service layer in DeFi
- Projects shouldn't build their own yield infrastructure — they should plug into YaaS providers
- This is the "give away the commoditized layer" pattern applied to DeFi yields
- Solomon positioning as YaaS infrastructure for the MetaDAO ecosystem

### Stablecoin Flow Analysis
- "Stablecoin flows > TVL" — flow metrics better predict protocol health than static TVL
- TVL is a snapshot, flows are a movie — you need to see capital velocity not just capital parked
- This challenges the standard DeFi valuation framework that uses TVL as primary metric
- Connects to our claims about internet finance generating GDP growth through capital velocity

### "Moats Were Made of Friction"
- Clean articulation: DeFi moats in the previous cycle were built on user friction (complex UIs, high switching costs, information asymmetry)
- As friction gets removed by better tooling and composability, those moats dissolve
- Surviving protocols need moats built on something other than friction — network effects, data advantages, governance
- Maps directly to our teleological economics claims about transaction costs and organizational boundaries

### Solomon Governance
- Lab Notes series documenting Solomon's governance experiments
- Treasury management decisions going through futarchy
- Practical challenges: how to handle operational decisions (hiring, vendor payments) through market mechanisms
- Signal: even a committed futarchy project needs traditional governance for operational tempo

## Noise Filtered Out
- ~80% of tweets were casual engagement, RTs, brief replies
- Low volume but consistently substantive when original content appears
