1/ 🚀 Following the incredible momentum from Beam Day at EthCC[8] in Cannes, we are excited to share our view and draft proposal for Post-Quantum Devnet-1! Read further 👇 for the summary, or head straight to hackmd.io/qDK_bqMsTwiZ3L… for the full writeup.
The best way to build an L2 is to lean into the L1's offerings (security, censorship resistance, proofs, data avail...) more, and reduce your logic to just being a sequencer and a prover (if based, just a prover) over the core execution. This is the combination of trust…
Unironically, I think most alt-L1s will become L2s @Celo showed the playbook: – Halved inflation from 2% to 1% – Reduced block times from 5s to 1s – Eliminated 300k+ lines of legacy code – Fully integrated into Ethereum’s ecosystem, the largest dev community in crypto – Carbon…
Regular reminder that AI is fully capable of regularly taking the crazy crown away from crypto for weeks at a time
@VitalikButerin OK so here's a fuller response: lesswrong.com/posts/zuuQwueB… Besides the in-line comments above, I'd like to challenge you to sketch your own alternative scenario to AI 2027, depicting your vision. For example: --1 page on d/acc technologies and other prep that…
My response to AI 2027: vitalik.eth.limo/general/2025/0… The AI 2027 post is high quality, I encourage people to read it at ai-2027.com I argue a misaligned AI will not be able to win nearly as easily as the AI 2027 scenario assumes, because it greatly underrates our…
As of today, all Ethereum execution clients support history pruning for pre-merge data. For mainnet, this means 300-500 GB less disk space required to operate a node. Learn more about what this means and how to take advantage the new functionality: blog.ethereum.org

Use @GrapheneOS.
European authoritarians and their enablers in the media are misrepresenting GrapheneOS and even Pixel phones as if they're something for criminals. GrapheneOS is opposed to the mass surveillance police state these people want to impose on everyone. xatakandroid.com/sociedad/cada-…
4 years later and I finally experienced the benefits of an "L2 secured by Ethereum." I had ETH stuck on OP Mainnet in @coinbase's web3 mpc wallet for almost 3 years. I was waiting for OP Mainnet support, it never came, and now the product is sunsetting. I made a last ditch…
OMG I did it. Shoutout @protolambda for direction that helped gpt and I get there. Steps (all within CB Web3 Wallet): 1. Go to the optimismPortal contract on blockscout & login with your wallet: eth.blockscout.com/address/0xbEb5… 2. Enter the params to you want (to = address you want to…
Good interview from Roman Storm. His trial is coming soon in 10 days. Privacy of messaging without backdoors is now widely accepted, and many in business and government regularly use tools like Signal. Given the extremely regular hacks of centralized databases that we see…
"FinCEN guidance from 2019, which we heavily relied on, specifically states that software anonymizing providers are not subject to money transmitter licensing requirements. That gave us confidence that what we were building should not put us in a risky position." Watch full…
Also worth reiterating thanks for all the support from @sandeepnailwal @CryptoRelief_, who both funded important biomedical infra in India and returned a large portion of to Balvi to expand on its research and dev mission globally.
Vitalik’s in town. Join us in Cannes for a fireside chat with our crypto GM, @JohannKerbrat, the founder of Ethereum, @VitalikButerin, and the CSO of @offchainlabs, @ajwarner90. Tune in tomorrow at 7:45pm CEST on Robinhood X and YouTube.
Over the last couple of days, all major @ethereum clients signalled that they consider a move to 45M gas per block safe. Please adjust your validators accordingly. Please update to the new releases to get the improvements and fixes that clients need to safely move to 45MGas ⬇️
Geth v.1.16.0 finally ships the PBSS based archive node, you can have a geth archive node in ca. 1.9TB (down from 20+TB)🚀🚀 Queries against historical states (What was my balance at block X) are possible, proofs against historical states are not (yet) Great work by @Gary_Rong
Geth v1.16.0 is out! This major release introduces path-based archive mode, along with several performance improvements. You can enable archive mode in the default path scheme by setting the flag: --gcmode=archive. Release notes: github.com/ethereum/go-et… #ethereum #golang
