These are a handful of the consequential technology trends in crypto right now which are in their infancy:

⮡ Intent satisfactions, generic across the multichain, allowing users to declaratively state how they want the state to change across domains
⮡ Validity proof…

If a Farcaster front end did the following for power users:

⮡ Integrated local and remote intelligence models to filter, transcribe, and summarize content (text, audio, video)
⮡ Produced a daily (or morning and evening) summary of relevant content based on user provided…

Everyone keeps a tally of those who extract, degrade, and marginalize the good in this space.

In the final analysis, everything will balance out. Since October 31st, 2008 we have many such examples - you don’t escape Father Time.

Ethereum’s defensive architecture acts as a shield for the entire category of smart contract blockchains.

Solana-like architectures would not survive state aggression, and maybe that’s okay because there is less incentive to take down weaker networks.

Why? Because taking down a…

Ethereum’s ability to steward upgrades is a modern marvel.

The meticulous coordination and engineering which go into making this kind of upgrade flawless is inspiring - competency abound.

Congratulations to those participating in network design, engineering, and operations 🤘

It's not the models they want to align, it's you.

The client-server model is not secure.

Basic cryptography and key management skills are required parts of your agency in digital society. It’s becoming standard knowledge like driving, insurance, and credit scores - don’t shy away from it.

Regeneration: dreams of an autonomus future

I want to tell you of a story. About complicated people, and their struggles to resolve the wreckage of their contradictions.

We are at a unique point in history and stand at the threshold of two worlds.

Verkle trees improve the mobility of validators across the internet in an emergency.

Ethereum is the most broad, secure, accessible, and resilient digital consensus.

Stunning interview.

Mike Benz walks through the machinery of American domestic propaganda and censorship.

Skills that this USG has refined over decades via the intelligence community are now, aggressively, deployed domestically in defiance of core American values.

Every piece of additional software you run on your validator machine increases the potential for remote exploits.

Use VMs, containers, resource limits, and other logical security boundaries to firewall each AVS.

This article by trent.eth refined my understanding of Ethereum as a Commons and the prospect of its potential corporate capture.

A pithy take away is to appreciate public goods funding infrastructure and the role of the Protocol Guild.
