How come the US is so fragmented? 50 distinct states? 14 territories?? sounds parasitic to the federal government imo. most likely US citizens will just move to a different, superior country that has a single unified government that takes care of everything. who is building this?

I think the rollup-centric roadmap was a no-brainer, & L2s are truly part of Ethereum To explain why, I broke down the history showing how the rollup-centric roadmap is key to global scale & how deeply L2s & L1 are intertwined paragraph.xyz/@chaskin/was-t…

The best (and clearest) explanation of the benefits of Verkle trees in Ethereum's Verge by chaskin.eth paragraph.xyz/@chaskin/on-th… I have a comment though: chaskin.eth you say "While the reality is that users might not always prioritize decentralization, developers do" - I think

happy wednesday! stoked to share a new article titled "Mechan-stein," which explores how combining existing proposals that target different outcomes (e.g., transparent MEV-markets vs. censorship resistance) may lead to a more complete solution. 🧟🧪🧬⚕️➷ ethresear.ch/t/mechan-stein…

"While the reality is that users might not prioritize decentralization, devs do" - I think are more accurate statement is that "devs must"." Great point Solettyy. It's on us to resist the natural incentives and prioritize decentralization, even when it's the harder path

Kript💫zzy Optimism Ethereum has gotten stronger: * Under $0.01 txfees on L2 * Two EVM L2s (Optimism Arbitrum (💙,🧡)) now at stage 1 * Cross-L2 wallet UX has improved a lot (eg. no more manually switching networks), though still a long way to go * Much more powerful and mature ZK tooling making life

Have you ever wondered who supports the client teams? Who payed for the security audits of your favorite client or library used by your favorite defi protocol? Who sponsored the hackathon where the co-founders of your NFT project met? Who provided a stage for your projects...🧵

Alex Mizrahi Christoph Jentzsch ncitron.eth and co have been doing heroic work on Helios. We need to see it getting integrated into browser wallets asap.

watching the blocks get built on this dashboard by sorella. this prolly the coolest crypto site ive seen in a while

Once you fold in developers from L2s into the Ethereum bar, this is what the chart looks like. Its good to celebrate other amazing ecosystems, but don't be gaslit into thinking Ethereum's not doing well across almost every single metric.

The SEC has fully lost the plot. The idea that a financial markets regulator established in the 1930s would have jurisdiction over digital art in the 2020s defies not only common sense but also the SEC's statutory authority. Thanks to OpenSea for fighting the good fight 🫡

who needs S-1 filings when you have access to real-time onchain financials? 😁📊

Full notes from this week's Verkle Implementers Call (aka Stateless Implementers Call) here: notes.ethereum.org/@rudolf/vic-no… TLDR: more great progress by all of the client teams, and a brief update on how we are thinking about Binary vs. Verkle: statelessness + scaling the L1 :)

It’s a race between technology-driven abundance and government-driven poverty.

I am working on Ethereum not for short term gains, I am working for long term sustainable growth and to establish the new decentralized economy.
