@emilianobonassi RIP Chuck.

plan for the weekend

@Michael_Kaplan1 Great run Michael.

After six and a half years, a few weeks ago I wrapped up my time at Ava Labs. I’m incredibly grateful to have worked alongside such a talented and passionate team and to have been part of the company’s growth. Sitting in a small room in a co-working space in 2019, I never could have imagined the size, scale, or impact Avalanche has grown to. I’m especially proud of what we’ve built as part of the broader Avalanche ecosystem and plan to remain an active member going forward. I’m also thankful for the tremendous opportunities I’ve had, including the chance to work with many amazing coworkers who shaped my experience along the way. It was a very difficult decision to close what was an amazing and formative chapter of my career, but I feel it is the right one for me right now as I take some time off to regroup and reset. As always, there is a lot of meaningful and exciting engineering work underway on Avalanche. In the broader picture, things are just getting started. I’m confident the team will continue to deliver, and I’ll be cheering and following closely. 🔺

What he said.. except - no such thing as blockchain gaming. It’s just gaming. Build good games and win. Or don’t.

"The proof is the trust model." ZK-verified price feeds, live on @Base, proving correctness from onchain state instead of trusting off-chain systems not to silently break..basically replacing "trust me bro" vibes $30M+ in oracle failures show that the current model doesn't work. @jacobeverly shows us what replacing it looks like..

@sshankar @privy_io shoutout privy and shoutout @debsoon @0xgrace @tednotlasso <3

Building stuff for fun on Fri and wanted to give a shoutout to @privy_io - its stupid slick for building demos and so on. 👍 My wife literally asked me - "there is no mention of crypto in this demo.. are you building a regular app?" Big unlock.. gonna treat myself to a matcha latte! I might try deploying it on @tempo for fun later this week. Wish I had the bandwidth to do a hackathon for bagels tbh (h/t @gakonst) gotta squeeze in building when I get time.

@segall_max @privy_io Thanks Max.. would love to chat sometime! There's def alignment between our work

@sshankar @privy_io 💛💛💛💛💛💛

Also - @stitchbygoogle 😱 Please for the love of god .. do not show me terminal windows and how a thing on one console window showed up in another. Everyone is a product manager, everyone is an above average designer.

@tmel0211 @boundless_xyz @arkham @nansen_ai Thank you for sharing..

仔细看了下， @boundless_xyz 的这篇文章确实暴露了Stablecoin在机构采用过程中存在的“透明税”问题：永久、公开的财务记录可能会暴露企业的供应商关系、薪酬结构和现金流等财务隐私。毕竟 @arkham 、@nansen_ai 等链上侦探已经有足够成熟的反匿名化产业。 虽然没有任何一家商业巨头，会蠢到把自己的成本结构、供应商关系和现金流，7x24小时实时广播给竞争对手。但这里头有个行业悖论，如何既要满足AML和Travel Rule的硬性监管，又要保住机构的商业底裤？ 其实很好解决，安装一个解决“隐私合规”的强大“Skills”就好了。这等于给ZK零知识证明在稳定币赛道找到了一个庞大的应用落地场景。这块市场空间有多恐怖？单看过去2025年，稳定币的结算量就已经狂飙到了33万亿美元。 当然，机构带着老钱上链，并不是慢吞吞阶梯式爬坡，而是基于链上技术成熟条件可能会出现突进式跃迁，一旦Boundless提的这套基于ZK的“选择性披露”方案得到规模化扩张，就等于解决了机构链上转账隐私的后顾之忧，会进一步增进TradFi资金的进场速度。 最后多说一嘴，即便那些拿着锤子找钉子的纯ZK L2和隐私公链，可能在没有真实场景的空转中沦为鬼城，但是ZK技术本身在Crypto大基建的落地被采纳过程中价值意义依然重大。

Most companies adopting crypto do not wish to broadcast its next move to competitors in real time..neither do they wish to upset governments The transparency tax that comes from being completely public onchain compounds with every transaction, and the companies that move earliest build the longest public financial history. Existing solutions weren't build to cater to this, and @boundless_xyz is changing that with what we're building ↓

@mansipraks You need ZK for a verifiable proof :D

proof of fries 🍟🍟

built a simple agentic wallet that can spend usdc agent took usdc from my wallet, loaded a visa card via x402 and ordered fries for delivery powered by @expo @CoinbaseDev @privy_io

The future belongs to ppl open to learning, building open tools, open services and open platforms. Open = Transparently enforced rules for permission-less participation. ... everything else is on a downward spiral.

@emilianobonassi @EthCC See you in Cannes.. ZK proofs for dinner

RT @emilianobonassi: Companies going onchain for speed don't realize they're also handing competitors a live map of their vendors, payroll,…

Can’t wait!

Now this is happening.

Looking forward to this one @Morpho

The future of finance is being built with privacy and ZK, and our CEO @sshankar will be speaking about what that actually looks like at @Vault__Summit during ETHCC See you soon @Morpho ↓

@Vault__Summit @boundless_xyz Looking forward to this conversation! Will be an interesting one..

More complex vaults need more scalable, verifiable computation. @sshankar, CEO of @boundless_xyz will share how universal ZK infrastructure can help support the next generation of high-throughput onchain financial applications. Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes · 1 April

In our case, decentralization was not just a requirement. It actually turns out to be a mechanism for reducing prices and COGS. That's why @boundless_xyz is 50 times cheaper than the competition, not just in Web3 but also the hyperscalers Building atop that foundation, you can actually build quasi-centralized solutions that benefit from these price dynamics and provide the customer what they need ultimately: best-in-class services at the cheapest price

The line "decentralization doesn't matter" is getting repeated more and more these days. I recently broke out into debate on-stage with @masonnystrom about why decentralization was essential to prediction markets existing at all. It got heated. Worth the 5 minutes:
