fastconfirm.it The fast confirmation rule is incredible So many years in the making. Super excited to see it finally ship!

you go deep, we'll go broad I respect and appreciate the EF clarifying its focus and mandate so that others know what gaps to fill and which alternative threads to follow so we make maximal impact as a collective At @Etherealize_io we'll stay the course and focus on rearchitecting institutional finance from the inside out We are one piece of the diverse machine that will make the deepest and broadest impact possible

1. do better on security 2. have a differentiated reason to exist seems reasonable

The Ethereum Foundation Bug Bounty Program (bounty.ethereum.org) has increased its maximum payout from $250K to $1M.

Thank you @tkstanczak 🙏 And welcome Bastian 🔥 Bastian is the single most thoughtful and wise person I have ever worked with While at the EF, Bastian was my number one source of counsel on every tough decision I made during that era, and I still regularly seek his perspective on my complex new work at @Etherealize_io The EF is in good hands

I left paid work almost a year ago saying that only something spectacular would drag me out of retirement. Well, it happened - I am now with @ethereumfndn helping to shepherd fast finality to Mainnet. It's going to be quite the journey, but I am very excited! 🚀

New year, same goal: To make DeFi mainstream. @DannyRyan, Co-Founder & President of Etherealize, spoke at DevConnect Argentina about bringing institutional capital onchain and the evolution of DeFi as traditional markets upgrade to Ethereum rails. "We need to compel the world's assets onchain. As we encode market rules and bring assets onchain, we reduce middlemen, create better products, and improve access. Institutions will increasingly become DeFi companies—or be replaced by those who do." Watch the full talk 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=ySL_z9…

Ethereum in 2026: The Best Place to Do Business - Stablecoins now have a regulatory framework - Institutional tokenization on Ethereum is surging - ETH has emerged as a corporate treasury asset Ethereum is primed to realize its full potential in 2026 Predictions below: (1/3)

Happy holidays! here's a second blog post about the history of another bug (a protocol bug and not a client's) interleaved with my own path to Ethereum. potuz.net/posts/how-i-go…

More seriously, this incident was specifically a great illustration of Ethereum's antifragility. Most chains have one client. When that client fails, the chain halts. Ethereum on the other hand remained stable during this brief Prysm outage without any issues.

Etherealize General Counsel @syelderman will participate in the @SECgov’s Crypto Task Force Roundtable on Financial Surveillance and Privacy next week, on Dec 15. Building financial rails demands discussion on how to uphold compliance, protect privacy, and preserve neutrality. These conversations aren't optional, they're foundational.

@benjaminion_xyz @hasufl I managed 87. If you listen to Jazz, you apparently age quickly

@hasufl Rookie numbers

My musical age is 74 years old

Decentralization clicks for institutions and tradfi people when reframed as counterparty risk. - Good point made by (I think) @dannyryan at devconnect

$27 trillion settled. Stablecoins processed more value last year than Visa's entire annual payments volume. J.P. Morgan moves $2B+ daily on Ethereum rails. New report from Etherealize, Nethermind, and L2BEAT on the institutional Layer 2 landscape. Still need more reasons? The ecosystem since 2022: - Networks: 27 → 154 - Throughput: 47 → 1,500 - TPS TVL: $35B+ across leading L2s Even more reasons: - J.P. Morgan piloting tokenized deposits on Base - Société Générale issued stablecoins under MiCA - Visa prototyping ZK proofs for private asset transfers -BlackRock and Franklin Templeton running tokenized funds Moooore Reasons you asked for: Regulatory clarity is emerging. - MiCA is live in the EU. - The GENIUS Act provides a US stablecoin framework. - Singapore and Hong Kong are approving tokenized products. For institutions, L2s solve a core tension: public blockchain security with private network control. Custom compliance, transaction confidentiality, guaranteed service levels. All settled to Ethereum's neutral ledger.

nice work 🔥

Done! easy enough great work everyone. looking forward to the fork :)

Time to upgrade my node, eh?

Francesco's right! next year Ethereum will fundamentally change yet again how blockchains scale. For now, tonight we will see for the first time actual sharding on a major chain. Total transaction throughput on the Ethereum ecosystem will blow your mind in the coming months!

Wall Street demands the properties decentralization ==> Wall Street demands Ethereum Check out my Devconnect ARG talk from last week to see my latest thinking on institutional adoption of Ethereum youtu.be/2dwQvaLFUkc?si… Thanks @EFDevcon for hosting me! I had a fantastic time🙏
