Here is more info on the upcoming regulatory dilemma for stablecoin issuers in the EU. BTW: Today is another political trilogue negotiation for the MiCA regulation where this exact topic will be discussed among the EU Parliament, Commission, and Council. x.com/paddi_hansen/s…

I keep reading non-sense which calls the exchange rate between stETH/ETH, “un-peg” or that just keeps calling out that stETH could “depeg” in a close future. People need to get educated and not just get “sound bites” due to recent events and incorrectly associate terms. RTFM…

It makes me flashback to my Corporate Job back in the old times.. where my position was exactly the same.. "additional employees added too quickly were net negative"!

OFFICIAL: The Ethereum Merge has been scheduled for ≈ September 15th/16th

full censorship at the base layer is not possible without tracing calls before including transactions, and if you attempt to fully censor as a block builder (ie validator) you will open yourself up to being DOS'd and missed proposals/attestations. assuming no forks at least

The most interesting conversations were around implementing protocol level censorship resistance using the ETH2 withdrawal contract. Pretty mindblowing thinking coming from various folks in EF :)

Come in and talk to who ? Set up an appointment how ? You using Calendly these days ? Since you understand crypto lending/finances, why don't you just publish bright line guidelines you would like to see and open it up for comments ?

Again with the invitation to “come in and talk” - has that ever led to clarity? Again with the car metaphors. Not that I know much about cars, but I’d imagine differences for electric cars with a giant battery vs gas cars. And the benefits baked into the law for electric cars.

gm! see you on the other side 🀲

merge epoch is finalized!

And we finalized! Happy merge all. This is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. Everyone who helped make the merge happen should feel very proud today.

The block times of the last 100 blocks! Amazing stability after the merge! Only 1 missed block. This is really the best case scenario!

So the answer from Ledger to allow BLS->ETH1, to support stakefish withdrawal is "Also, anyone can build the app for this implementation, if anyone is tired of waiting, they can build it, np." ...Go figure it out. ETA to be able to withdraw is June '23
