Yesterday was my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today we are launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. I've spent close to a decade building privacy infrastructure in crypto: p2p messaging at @ethstatus, developing Waku protocols at Vac (both now part of @logos_network), mobile proving tooling with @zkmopro, teaching zero-knowledge proofs with my zkintro primer, and advising @ethereumfndn on privacy and access layer strategy. Most of that was aimed at individuals. The past year at EF's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) we've been looking at privacy for institutions. On the surface this might seem different, but there are a lot of similarities. There's also a very strong market need for it, and the timing is right. I've written in the past about the tension and overlap between cypherpunks and institutions. Twitter is not exactly the best medium for nuance, but right now we are at a sensitive point in time: the defaults for the next generation of financial infrastructure are being set, with or without us. I believe we need cypherpunks in the room when that happens. Excited to start @eth_systems together with my co-founder @motypes and @_rymnc as part of the founding team. See quoted announcement thread for more details. x.com/eth_systems/st…

Introducing Receive Policies On most blockchains, any token can be sent to any account: There's no easy way to restrict who can send you assets or refuse an unwanted token. Receive policies bring these features to Tempo, enforced by the protocol.







Annualizers, get ready: Robinhood Chain daily fees hit a new high of $300,000. Sustained for a year, that's a $100M revenue stream for Robinhood. Main catalyst comes from the increase in the average gas fee, it jumped 4x versus the prior day. Even so, it's still trivial at $0.034. Data from @EntropyAdvisors

4.5 yrs ago, the founder of Signal argued Ethereum was failing b/c users still relied on trusted intermediaries almost every step of the way Was he right? I revisit Moxie's critique, Vitalik's response, and why the Ethereum Foundation's new Access Layer exists New post 👇



🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔 They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you: They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔


What’s in our pipeline: > MINX MAX drops today > TWIST1i final optimization in cells begins Monday > DOX Founding Membership launches Wednesday (3 patent-pending low-dose doxycycline treatments, for hair, skin, and aging) > Precision Dutasteride 1% drops next Friday No date commitments yet, but coming soon: > First Precision Dutasteride scalp biopsy in India > LD Olanzapine data drop and study recruitment > LD Naltrexone data drop and study recruitment > TRH peptide data drop and study recruitment > RSPOa data drop and next steps analysis Have a few more small items we can’t share yet. Stay tuned.


the privacy pools v2 trusted setup ceremony is now beginning and we need your help contribute your entropy and become an early supporter of the protocol, guide below ↓
