The bottleneck of blockchains is state, especially the state stored on disk.

Pushing the envelope of merkle tries is possible with a few key insights by Preston Evans

* Solid state drives read and write pages of 4096 bytes - therefore your trie nodes

Binius: a better zero-knowledge proof system.

To achieve privacy in blockchains at scale without blowing up the computing budget, better algorithms are needed. This one operates on binary fields rather than modular arithmetic, making it uniquely suited for hardware acceleration!

Update for MystenLabs.sui & Sui: we officially have a small AI/ML research group. We'll conduct both research & launch novel #MachineLearning + #blockchain + #crypto dapps and primitives. This is strategic & it already resulted in a cool AI service thanks to John Naulty!

The MIDL.dev endpoints service is not affected by the security announcement recently published by Nomadic Labs .

After this announcement, we have taken additional measures to ensure that our Tezos RPC service remains available.

Important announcement regarding #Tezos Test Networks.

1. From Wednesday 10th January we will be using teztnets.com as the primary domain name for test networks.

2. The Github repository for the Teztnets infrastructure has moved to github.com/tacoinfra/tezt…

> We remind you to always Clear Sign with your Ledger.

But outside of simple tranfsers, enabling Blind Signing is a mandatory step in almost any DeFi journey.

All you see on the screen is random-looking bytes. If the middleware is compromised, you can't tell. Big UX failure.

Modular vs. monolithic debate is not well framed.

It's not just a matter of slapping some tech together.

How does censorship resistance propagate to the higher layers of your stack?

This informs your design. Then you can be modular or monolithic at your leisure.

Big thanks to Sooraj for setting up and sharing the conversation. Interesting to hear from someone on the tezos dev frontlines, thanks for the brain power Nicolas ochem 🍻 #tezos #xtz #tellembro

US Credit card rewards have been good to me, yet I think that burning down this entire system would be a welcome societal progress.

There is no reason that interchange fees are 9x what they are in EU. Just a bunch of entrenched interests who don't want to let go.

Signal Messenger is expensive:

$1.3M/yr in storage - only for messages in transit
$2.9M/yr egress costs
$19M/yr people costs for a team of 50.

Yet they do critical work. Quoting their blog post: the social costs of normalized privacy invasion are staggeringly high, and
