What makes the Elastic Network unique is its native interoperability layer, which makes the network feel like one unified chain. Today, we’re sharing a sneak peek of what it will look like. This demo is live. Try it out yourself below 👇🏻 zksync-interop.web.app

EVM Equivalence on @ZKsync was just the beginning. For years, we’ve been quietly building toward a better future for all of @Ethereum. Introducing ⚡️ solx — a powerful new Solidity-to-EVM compiler 🧵

Hegelian Spirit minus telos and consciousness plus darwinian thinking is quite similar to a special case of meta system transition, as described by Turchin. I think there was an inspiration there.

⚡️ Solidity turns 10—huge congrats to the Solidity team! ⁣ ⁣ To celebrate we’re shipping 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐱 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐚 — a new Solidity compiler built on LLVM designed for efficiency that fixes “𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬-𝘵𝘰𝘰-𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱,” trims gas, and keeps original Solidity semantics.⁣ ⁣ 🧵⬇️

solx beta finally fixes “stack-too-deep” — with no semantic changes. In this post: – How the spill-to-memory fix works – Runtime gas benchmarks – Network-wide savings estimates – Our approach to compiler safety 📖 zksync.mirror.xyz/2e9iV3D4gTVKgN…

We threw 20 major Ethereum projects — Aave, Uniswap, OpenZeppelin, Solady… — at solc and solx 0.1.1. The result? 8–13× faster than previous versions on heavy builds, beats solc by 5–10× in compile time with via-ir — and cuts gas usage. Let’s dig into the benchmarks 🧵

I'm convinced that if you're building a large piece of commercial software, the only good way to use AI coding agents is as a power tool, without forsaking your ability to understand the code. On the other hand, if you're building disposable software — for personal use, for a

The Claude C Compiler is the first AI-generated compiler that builds complex C code, built by Anthropic. Reactions ranged from dismissal as "AI nonsense" to "SW is over": both takes miss the point. As a compiler🐉 expert and experienced SW leader, I see a lot to learn: 👇

Why Solidity compilation is much harder than it looks: gas is part of program behavior, “correctness” is underspecified and one-size-fits-all, and every extra compiler or target makes the problem worse. rubber-duck-typing.com/posts/2026-03-…
