Private shared state might be our best shot at fixing the internet's privacy problem And TACEO just brought it to life

Crypto's privacy tech today is like locks from the 18th century, where very locksmith was competing to make the most elaborate design possible. We need a standard pin-tumbler that anybody can use or repair. A Universal Cryptographic Protocol (UCP).

Introducing Chaotic Good 👺 a new show from Archetype We got @dberenzon and @thatdegenvc to test the format in ep0 by debating: + Polymarket + Claude + Elon + 7-Eleven and more... More Chaotic Good coming soon

We're hosting an unconference with @TACEO_IO later this month! If you're coming to NYC for @blockworksDAS and working on the hardest problems in onchain payments, then this is for you Please reach out to an Archetype or TACEO team member for an invite!

We'll be at @blockworksDAS in NYC later this month! Together with @archetypevc, we're hosting a closed-door unconference on what's actually hard about onchain payments >> compliance, privacy, and the constraints that emerge in production. No panels. No pitches. Just the hardest problems in the room. DM us or reach out to the Archetype team for an invite!

"At its core, transparency isn't just a design choice. It is the structural evolution required to onboard the next billion users."

"As the garbler, I generate a bunch of garblings." - @cryptodavidw at @archetypevc x @zksecurityXYZ's proof in the pudding 09 real quote btw

Following several conversations with founders seeking to reconcile today's strange fundraising market, sharing some candid thoughts on why things feel so paradoxical and how to better play the game on the table

The upcoming Proof is in the Pudding 09 will be covering ZK proofs being used in Bitcoin @cryptodavidw will be going deep on the tech being used here along with the tradeoffs and security assumptions of each Please contact an Archetype team member for an invite!

Private beta is now live. Real markets are coming on-chain. Liquid tokenized assets are inevitable. tenbinlabs.xyz/blog/private-b…

"If you are not using AI to find and fix flaws continuously, you are competing against blackhats who are." AI-native security has firmly graduated from a nice-to-have to a necessity

1) One year after I published our first onchain payments market map, I'm excited to share our updated landscape! The overall number of companies has increased from 282 to 482! Not all of these companies are new - some have integrated cryptorails and many I simply missed!

As more activity moves on-chain, transaction processing capacity is becoming the primary infrastructure constraint. Most blockchains still execute transactions sequentially. That design creates a hard ceiling on throughput. As demand increases, latency and costs increase. We’ve spent the past year optimizing the execution layer itself. The Altius Stack can upgrade existing chains or serve as the foundation for new high-performance networks. In benchmarks using Ethereum and Base mainnet data, we measured 2-3× higher transaction throughput under clearly defined assumptions. Full methodology and results → altiuslabs.xyz/blog/scaling-e…
