Scientist at @poddotnetwork . Working in Cryptography, Consensus and Blockchains. PhD from @UofMaryland
Congratulations on the new role @giorgos_tsimos! We will miss you at @Yale and @YaleACL!
1/n: After a brutal schedule, I could finally take a breath and write. I am super excited --first for defending my PhD and finishing with the thesis, and also, for finding an extremely interesting role for my next step, as Scientist at @poddotnetwork! Here is why I can't wait:
mentioning block times next to your TPS metric is retarded! its vestigial from the PoW era when block time could be translated to the time it takes to confirm all PoS L1/L2s should mention their TTF (time to finality) next to their TPS. i’ll start pod achieves 150ms TTF.
I am so fascinated by the question of how much we can decouple consensus from decentralized protocols... It is a minimalistic approach to a difficult and hot topic. What are the limits of secure decentralized apps we can define without running costly consensus?
excited for the new era of combinatorial batch auctions on CoW protocol! combinatorial auctions allow for auctioning multiple items simultaneously when their values might be co-related. imagine you had to auction off item A and B. naively, you could either hold two separate…
🧵 CoW Protocol just got a major upgrade. Say hello to Fair Combinatorial Batch Auctions (FCBAs) - the smartest, fastest, and fairest way to trade on-chain. It's not just an upgrade. It's a whole new standard for DEXs. Here's what you need to know: 👇
Claim: "Utilizing AI models (e.g. Chat-GPT) in a question-based approach for literature review, can accelerate the process by a lot and make the experience more fun, without compromising academic rigor." Is this a hot take or generally accepted by now? What are best practices?
So this is not a benchmark for software engineering agents. It’s meant to test core reasoning and intelligence through coding—backed by 71 pages of deep analysis from some of the best competitive programmers out there. This effort was carried out by students across multiple…
We introduce LiveCodeBench Pro, a live, exceptionally challenging benchmark comprising competitive programming problems sourced from IOI, Codeforces, and ICPC. Frontier models such as o3, and Gemini 2.5 achieve scores of 0% on the Hard split. Leaderboard: livecodebenchpro.com
interesting finding by the flashbots team. "spam" txs are taking all our throughput gains! the article outlines two parts to the solution: the first can be solved by TEE, while the second necessitates @poddotnetwork! to solve the spam problem, we need: 1. open but restricted…
Today, we introduce a new thesis: MEV has become the dominant limit to scaling blockchains. Spectacularly wasteful onchain searching is starting to consume most of the capacity of most high-throughput blockchains. This is a market failure we can no longer ignore.
shitpost[dot]wtf just went full onchain. The world’s most chaotic meme feed now stores media on Walrus 🐋 ⚡️ Fast txs via @poddotnetwork 🧊 Permanent storage via Walrus 🪞 Fully decentralized, remixable memes Long live the memechain. Use the codes in the reply to join 👇
📣Excited to announce: Shitpost[dot]wtf has integrated @WalrusProtocol for decentralized storage! Every meme, PFP, and leaderboard moment is now permanent, censorship-resistant, and user-owned. Web3 social just got a major upgrade. Try it now! Use Code: PODyap 👉…
A showcase of true Web3 UX! shitpost[dot]wtf 2.0 combines: • Sub-second txs on pod’s devnet • Decentralized media on @WalrusProtocol • Fully on-chain profiles with avatars + handles No blocks. No lag. No compromise. A lot of fun!Join the fun now → use code: PODshill

We had this half joke idea that we should build a decentralised website for posting memes. Somehow the idea went so far now that the memes themselves are posted on @WalrusProtocol while a commitment is posted to pod’s public devnet. There were other major updates as well in…

When web3 becomes as fast as web2. Join @poddotnetwork devnet for the most decentralized meme social network
Just dropped shitpost[dot]wtf v2. It's a fully decentralized meme social network built on @poddotnetwork's devnet — now with @WalrusProtocol baked in. That means fast txs, zero wallet friction, and immortal memes thanks to Walrus. Finally, it's Web3 that feels like Web2 🧵1/5
shitpost dot wtf v2 is out (using pod's devnet)! 200ms confirmation and images hosted on @WalrusProtocol (inv code: PODyap)
Check out pod’s devnet in the wild—shitpost[dot]wtf version 2.0 just shipped: ✅ 200ms confirmation ✅ Media hosted on @WalrusProtocol ✅ Profile photos & handles live It's the most fun you'll have on-chain without a line of code! Start shitposting now → use code: PODyap
