Verifiability is the most important edge of crypto. Bitcoin and Ethereum gave us verifiable money and finance. The next step related to verifiability is different from 2 previous steps. The thing with Bitcoin and Ethereum innovations is that both of these types of…
AI is good at many things, but mid at writing it also makes you outsource your thinking so you don't practice it as much but, writing is thinking so, getting good at writing is one of the best ways you can counteract atrophy due to AI
I'm almost done with our internal excalidraw guide for the team members. Should I release a polished version in public once it's done?
If Robinhood was built on Solana, it could've had way better interoperability within an ecosystem, still eliminating MEV exposure, having control over sequencing, and reserving future blockspace.

We are cooking something, new website and vision for Hazeflow is going live soon. There were a lot questions that people asked me, we have to make sure everything is clear & transparent.
How Ritual works: mechanism design & workflow. The core idea: • A lot of fields (besides AI) require significant compute: zk, chain abstraction, TEE execution. • Main attention was captured by AI compute. • Transactions become more complex over time: from transfers to…

I worked at crypto VC for 2 years and went through hundreds of different protocols. One thing I can say for sure is that general accelerators absolutely don't matter. There is not a single advantage that you get from joining an accelerator. Their pitch might be pretty good: they…
I'm gonna get killed for saying this, but fuck it. I've built ecosystems, so I know this first hand. Accelerators and incubators are total wastes of time and money and actually net negative to ecosystem building. Why? Kingmaking doesn't work for ecosystem building. It actively…
TEE space is getting pretty hot right now, especially with @unichain adapting the model, but most people only know about CPU TEEs. In this article, we together with Phala Network explore GPU TEEs, outline core differences, and decide if they're needed on chain.
The hardware timeline is accelerating. By 2030: 70%+ of new capacity is expected to be "GPU-class". Phala’s 2025 roadmap brings its confidential GPU computing as a fully decentralized Web3 service. The future is already HERE. Blog: phala.network/posts/Phala-GP…
We are always busy chasing our goals in crypto and often forget to appreciate the work that other people are doing. This post is an appreciation for the best and most responsible people that I had the opportunity to work with: - @dabit3: Nader is online 24/7, always responding…
There is a Russian YouTuber who has been teaching people for years to lie on their resumes, get multiple tech jobs at once, hide personal data from recruiters, cheat on background checks, and more.
PSA: there’s a guy named Soham Parekh (in India) who works at 3-4 startups at the same time. He’s been preying on YC companies and more. Beware. I fired this guy in his first week and told him to stop lying / scamming people. He hasn’t stopped a year later. No more excuses.
Polychain invested ~$20m in Celestia and sold more than $80m worth of tokens just from staking rewards. They made >4x without selling their main investment.
Polychain led Manta, down 95.5% from ATH Polychain led Scroll, down 82.5% from ATH Polychain led Solayer, down 80.14% from ATH Polychain led Celestia, down 92.2% from ATH Polychain led Bera, down 88.44% from ATH Polychain led Polyhedra, it went to zero Polychain led Story,…
TEE, MPC, FHE, and ZKP are not competitors. They're friends. Discussions often compare this tech to determine which one is superior. In reality, these technologies are not mutually exclusive and can function together and complement each other. 1. Each solution has trade-offs,…
We at @hazeflow_xyz are happy to work with @PhalaNetwork and explain why AWS and its TEE implementation don't fit into web3. The article explains how centralized TEEs are, why we need them in web3, and why we need to implement decentralized TEE cloud. Enjoy!

How Sei Giga works: mechanism design & workflow
Sei released their new whitepaper, which describes the new Giga update. Most readers find 17 pages of deeply technical content difficult to read. So I created a review to explain what this update is about and how blockchain performance is improved at different levels. 1.…

I'm leaving Thailand after a year of living there. Here is a list of the best and worst things you can experience in this beautiful country. The best things: 1. The quality of hotels is on another level and quite affordable. For $70 per night, you can rent a great room in a…
This might be controversial, but I believe that someone needs to openly say this: "Most protocols don’t need their own tokens because tokens absolutely have no correlation with product development and shift the attention away." The core issue that we have is that everyone…
