New visualization and demo we have been working on at @RialoHQ

Video of my TEE^BFT talk from last year at CCE youtu.be/jqrPndv7nzQ?si…. It was a really fun event!

@trq212 @IBlackPenguin

Voice mode is rolling out now in Claude Code. It’s live for ~5% of users today, and will be ramping through the coming weeks. You'll see a note on the welcome screen once you have access. /voice to toggle it on!

We, at @RialoHQ, just added a new learn article (learn.rialo.io/tutorials/cons…) to help explain consistency guarantee in distributed systems!

@reubenbond @itachee_x @Subzero_Labs @RialoHQ Delos explores similar ideas but is root in the crash fault failure domain. While we on the other hand explore the idea of reconfiguration that uniquely complicates blockchains (BFT scenario), and then present a solution to simplifying the problem.

@itachee_x @Subzero_Labs @aleak @RialoHQ How does Gauss compare to Delos?usenix.org/conference/osd…

New paper from the amazing researchers @Subzero_Labs Consensus upgrades are painful and dangerous. Yet new consensus algorithms popup every couple or so years. How does one keep up? We designed a system (Gauss) that makes adopting new consensus easy & safe! 👏@aleak et al

@asidorenko_ This is awesome! Thank you!

frontend-design skill

Explaining @RialoHQ's reactive transactions. Also take a look at learn.rialo.io/tutorials/reac… we built a simulator to show what reactive transactions can do!

“Privacy is the one feature that’s critical for the world’s finance to move onchain.” Privacy pulls user identity information on-chain. Identity information gets compliance on-chain. Compliance brings the world’s finance on-chain. World’s finance gets everyone on-chain.

Concurrency control, while really hard to implement correctly, should not be difficult to understand!

@ittaia Congratulations Ittai!

Excited to join the a16z crypto team and work with such an exceptional group of people!

@adocomplete This is awesome! Thanks for the tip. I just started using Google analytics after a long time and hopefully this can some me some time.

Claude Code for Chrome is really something else. I haven't used Google Analytics in a minute, not even sure what I needed and the product has changed so drastically over the last few years. One prompt and I got some nice dashboards to get me going.

One of the most important web3 challenges today, that should have been solved yesterday, is privacy for general purpose transactions!

@chainyoda Claude code makes single use website are also so easy to build! Especially if it’s just informational and there is nothing to secure!

Claude is really useful for building personal use tools and throwaway apps/end user computing

I am excited to share learn.rialo.io we at @rialohq are putting all our interactive learning there. Start off with a visual and interactive explanation of concurrency control!

@andyyy Code is law just like possession is 9/10th of the law. However, have we not just lowered the barrier of entry with all the new AI tools and coding agents we are seeing?

TLDR; Too much power in the hands of core developers, token holders, L1 designers, or even communities creates serious risks for crypto projects, from abuse and opacity to drifting away from real decentralization. Vitamin V argues that rebalancing influence across stakeholders to build healthier, longer-lasting ecosystems is the way to go. While I am kinda surprised, he also argues that "code is law" isn’t exactly the most practical viewpoint, esp when it lets one group dominate unchecked and calls for built-in pluralism, separation of powers, and community safeguards so no single faction can steamroll the rest. Communism is mentioned as well. This feels very OG-Ethereum of Vitamin V. The sharper edges come when he points out that many so-called decentralized projects are actually developer-run oligarchies…(uhhhh?) and then goes onto question token-voting models that let big holders override broader community values. Aave catching strays??? Anyways, Vitalik urges deliberate design choices toward genuine multipolarity for true long-term strength. Censorship resistance.

@troels_im Happy new year!

@aleak Happy new year Alex! 🥂

Happy New Year 2026 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
