From Poker to Blockchain: How Frame Network Aligns Self-Interest with Collective Good
Summary
The article explores the concept of designing systems where self-interest aligns with collective benefit, drawing parallels between Game Theory Optimal (GTO) play in poker, Bitcoin's incentive structure, and the author's own project called Frame Network. The author reflects on three decades of thinking about incentive alignment, using poker's mathematically optimal strategy as a starting point to explain how blockchain and decentralized systems can be built so that the selfish move is also the best move for everyone. Frame Network is presented as the next evolution of this principle — a multi-chain ecosystem designed for zero friction and interoperability.

· 3 pulledI have spent the better part of three decades thinking about one question: what happens when you design a system where the selfish move is also the best move for everyone?
In poker, there is a concept called Game Theory Optimal play. GTO is the strategy that cannot be exploited.
From poker to Bitcoin to Frame — what happens when the selfish move is also the best move for everyone, and why this is the next chapter rather than the last.
