After Nadiem Sissouno and I 'moaned' a bit in the last part of the series the about state of competition in solver markets, it was super fun to dive deeper into ways to make solver-based markets more efficient and sustainable. Thanks to all the folks that we discussed this with at

Quietly about to hit $100m volume

Hey friends 👋 this is the first edition of Week in Interop: a quick Friday roundup of what’s been happening across cross-chain, intents, and interop. Here’s what went down this week 👇 x.com/ydanwashere/st…

1/16 The Ethereum Foundation has sharpened its focus on UX, making interoperability a core strategic initiative. This thread breaks down their plan to create a seamless, secure, and permissionless experience across the entire Ethereum ecosystem. 🧵

Anybody in the Toronto area that's looking to help build an Ethereum specific community space akin to Ethereum House? Please reach out if you're itching to find a space to hack/mingle/meet/work with people on Ethereum. I've got some ideas.

Fusaka is coming to Ethereum's testnets 🌃 - Holesky: Oct 1st - Sepolia: Oct 14 - Hoodi: Oct 28 Read the full announcement for client release info and to learn about the update's features, including PeerDAS, L1 scaling & UX improvements 👇

So excited for this. 🤝Let‘s go 🔥

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germ…

We're hiring at Mirage! Looking for: > a community lead who gets why privacy matters > a full-stack dev who can actually ship Building the future of stablecoin privacy on Ethereum. It's early, it's hard, and it matters. Links below

📣 Germany is close to reversing its principled opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private —& Signal—in the EU. Time is short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how

Aufgepasst, Bundesministerium des Innern BMJV: Der Deutsche Kinderschutzbund lehnt die #Chatkontrolle ab und fordert von der Bundesregierung „zielgerichtete Maßnahmen statt anlassloser Massenüberwachung“ im Kampf gegen sexualisierte Gewalt. netzpolitik.org/2025/eu-ueberw…

Valid take adding some nuance to the USDe discussion.

Quietly building.
