ANNOUNCING THE TOP HOLDERS FILTER You can now automatically filter by specific top holder addresses on token pages. Click any top holder on a token page to show only that entity/address’ transactions in the transaction log on that page.





History-expiry update: More than 80% of Ethereum full node disk space is occupied by history, so data not needed to validate new blocks. With the latest 1.31.* releases, @nethermind is fully ready to drop pre-merge history via ERA files. Dropping history requires cross-client consensus, and all teams have agreed to remove pre-merge history from full nodes on 1st May. History expiry is desired for further scaling. Once activated, your full node will require ~320 GB of pre-merge blocks and receipts history. A full Nethermind execution node without dropping pre-merge history today takes around 700 GB. If we drop all blocks and all receipts and keep only what is needed to verify the latest block, it would be less than 200 GB for full node. Nethermind team keeps working on history expiry (portal-network integration, rolling history expiry, ERA files, EIP-7801). Node without pre-merge history 👇

Because of the reserves announcement now is the time - a short window of opportunity for everyone who builds large stable DeFi, institutional custody solutions, institutional staking, stablecoins, institutional wallets to present how mature, how secure, and how broadly integrated in global finance Ethereum ecosystem is. I cannot promise it would be delivered by the EF quickly enough, I am not sure if Etherealize is already fully operational to execute this within hours - so please go and do not wait for us. We will look how to improve it with EF but Ethereum is a sum of all great builders and it handles really high institutional stakes. @Anchorage @aave @21shares_us @BitGo @CoinSharesUS @MorphoLabs @Etherealize_io @EtherFi @LidoFinance @twinstake_io @FigmentCapital @base @arbitrum @Optimism @Starknet @Consensys @zksync @Uniswap @1inch @nethermind (I am writing from memory, please add and highlight more - also let us talk more)


I was asked and accepted to be a co-Executive Director (alongside Hsiao Wei) of Ethereum Foundation. Officially starting around 17th of March (pending paperwork). Please reach out via Telegram to @tkstanczak if you think we should talk / prefer async but a call also works calendly.com/tkstanczak/com… Looking forward to making Ethereum stronger than ever and supporting you all to succeed.




crypto founders: if your token has no reason to be worth anything without a buyback, it's not worth anything with a buyback, either. reduce the quantity of a valuable thing = make it more valuable. stocks are already valuable without a buyback. if you induce scarcity (buybacks), it makes them more valuable by virtue of they're being less of them! reduce the quantity of a valueless thing = incinerate money, and then be confused why "price discovery" isn't happening. if you reduce the quantity of a worthless thing, you.... reduced the quantity? cool! now there's less of something that wasn't valuable to begin with. circular reasoning: the token is valuable because sometimes we will reduce the supply of the token. there is absolutely zero reason for this instrument to be worth anything. DeFi thinks this counts as returning capital, like a stock buyback does. it's utterly inane and disconnected from reality. it behooves no one to keep acting like this emperor is wearing clothes. there is no such thing as 'price discovery' for a memecoin. this goes for memecoins wearing fancy suits (governance tokens) too. a dog is not a horse because they both have four legs. a bagel is not a tire because they're both round. and a valueless voting (suggestion) token is not equity because... it kind of looks like a stock if you squint and delude yourself. Build For Weight, and end these completely inapplicable equity abstractions @BuildForWeight
