Engineers grinding over the weekend cut our CI test suite runtime in half with performance upgrades. Huge win. Nice work team 👏

Underrated tool in protocol design: the ability to deterministically and quickly recompute state, instead of constantly persisting, retrieving, and validating it.

Ironically a problem Irys (✧ᴗ✧) solves. The only reliable press releases about us would be the ones we post on Irys (✧ᴗ✧) , signed by the company private key. Now to make that the standard 😎

Sometimes data is an asset—you want ownership, permanence, and the ability to transact with it. Like the content you create. Other times, it's just temporary state, a save file for work in progress passing between applications. For any app using separate protocols and payment

Well-researched post by Ponyo comparing Irys (✧ᴗ✧) and Walrus. They rightly note that Irys is earlier in its lifecycle and less established—a nuance I glossed over in my own comparison. Overall, I agree with the conclusions, though the analysis relies on testnet tooling and

Consensus is a tricky beast. I get why most teams prefer building on existing chains or, when that's not enough, forking an open-source consensus implementation.
