i guess kohaku upgrade is not happening anytime soon.

I want to get a bit more public about the work we at the Kohaku Initiative inside the EF are doing I notice there's hype but there's also confusion. Best way to clarify things is to speak candidly and openly about what I'm working on day-to-day 🧵time (bc i dont pay twitter $)

@schmosby_xbt how about you buy some ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d spot. privacy on ethereum soon

give me some high confidence trade ideas with thesis something which isnt long zec, near, hype, vvv

@x256xx perfecto. using HL too and trading markets with low OI. would hold my position till EOW and learn from the result to re-adjust my strat.

@basit_ hyperliquid/risex as of now

Variational just crossed $1B in OI and is now the n3 perpdex by open interest Already 25% above lighter, and on track to flip aster soon To me, this is clearly an n2 venue where people will actually trade. Technically not a perpdex but more of a decentralized brokerage, aggregating liquidity from everywhere (CEXes, hyperliquid, etc.) so you get the best fills Trading BTC/ETH/HYPE is already cheaper on variational than anywhere else if you are not running 8-figure positions. 100+ RWA listings are coming, so points will only get harder to farm Still 4-5 months left before points end The best strategy for me has been 1-3 day DN holds for OI (avoiding BTC and ETH) and real trading. Wash trading does not work here, we are still pre-API and pre-OLP Really suggest trying to get in before it's too late access and max points boost: omni.variational.io/?ref=OMNIX256XX

@rasmr_eth i own some ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d

by the way 70% of people tweeting about the VVV HYPE ZEC NEAR being the coins worth owning don’t even own the underlying tokens they’re all longing on leverage

@aaronguan rallions

think ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d does another 10x from here

@Flowslikeosmo $4.5*

$RAIL is up 158% over the past 7 days. ($1.3 to $3.55) Volume hit $4.44M today (7.4x the average) Here's why it's gone higher: - Vitalik moved $2.6M through the protocol publicly - The EF integrated Railgun into the Kohaku SDK, the privacy layer that lets any wallet add Privacy Mode without building ZK from scratch - Coinbase published a study confirming it's quantum-resistant - a16z named privacy their #1 crypto trend for 2026 - EU AMLR hits Monero and Zcash in July 2027, @RAILGUN_Project is the only compliant alternative - Grayscale included it in their 2026 Outlook - The float is extremely tight w/ 74% of the supply staked Here's why it goes higher: - Kohaku integrations haven't shipped. MetaMask, Rainbow, and Ambire have all signaled support. - Ledger integration has just been announced (not priced in) - Only $94M shielded TVL against $75B on Ethereum, massive TAM. - Every new wallet integration that ships tightens an already illiquid float further. ZEC: $10.6B mcap w/ $537K in annual fees. RAIL: $200M mcap w/ $4.62M in annual fees. $RAIL to $10 is a $572M mcap coin

@thegreatola $1.5 - $4.5*

@basit_ wow $1 go $4 is insane

What’s an underrated alpha i should be looking into? Shill me your best

@x256xx almost had me 😂

i copytraded Loracle and i went full port short on $HYPE with 2x leverage that will completely liquidate me and lose all my life savings if price reaches $69 i dont know what to do please help me i beg you .hl people stop buying i cant anymore u won i admit it pls stop my wife is pregnant and i wont be able to feed my son

@AvgJoesCrypto anyone should be accumulating more here

Study the top performing crypto asset for three days in a row now ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d

@dcfgod you’re too early to be sidelined. price only moved 2x and retraced.

Dmd my friend “hey we should buy rail at $2” but obviously didn’t because “it already went up too fast” Anyhoo don’t think this has a great revenue narrative… but privacy + eth collab are enough for the shills to do their duty Note: dcf cap is sidelined

@baseddesigner @dcposch That's something kohaku is doing, turning railgun and other privacy protocols (and more) into an easy-to-use self-contained sdk (last year the target user was browser wallets, now we have to make it work for agents too😄)

I think it's healthy for us in the Ethereum world to have a more bold and open mindset to many things, particularly on the application layer and on how we see ourselves in the world. We should not compromise on core properties: censorship resistance, open source, privacy, security (CROPS). We should not have "open mindedness" of the type that leaves people with no confidence of what security properties the L1 will still have one year from now. We should not ask ourselves questions like "do we really need light clients to be able to trustlessly verify correctness of the chain?". But especially on the layer of applications and Ethereum's interface to the world, we should be more willing to radically rethink various concepts and step outside our comfort zone. This includes issues of technological direction, eg. "what if AI basically means that wallets as browser extensions and mobile extensions are dead within a year?" One example last year was the shift to thinking about privacy as a first-class consideration, something we value equally to the other types of security. This implies a radically different Ethereum application stack, because the entire stack so far has not been built around privacy. Great, let's build a radically different Ethereum application stack! An example this year is the growing work on the networking side of privacy, both inside the EF and outside. It includes application-layer issues, eg. "what if the rest of defi is basically just universal futures markets on top of a good decentralized oracle and letting users self-organize on top of that?", and "what if the ideal decentralized oracle is just a SNARK over M-of-N small LLMs over zk-TLSes of some major news sites?" (BTW this is interrelated with the AI issue: one consequence of AI is that it moves "applications" away from being discrete categories of behavior with discrete UIs, and more toward being a continuous space, so "build fewer apps and rely on users to self-organize around them" should inevitably expand as a pattern) One example this year is rethinking from zero the role of L2s, and what kind of L2s are actually most synergistic and additive to Ethereum. It also includes culture. This is a big part of "the whole milady thing" for myself, @AyaMiyagotchi and others. Yes, it's a silly meme. Yes, I find the political takes of some milady partisans cringe and sometimes outright bootlickerish (though other milady partisans are quite the opposite). But the core underlying subtext, the message behind the message, is: rip off the suit and tie. If you have your suit and tie on, be willing to grab the nearest wine glass and spill it all over your suit and tie, so you have no choice but to rip it off and reclaim your body's full flexibility and freedom. Actually imagine yourself doing this the next time you get invited to a richpeopleslop formal gala dinner. Take the preconception that you are "respectable", write it down on a piece of paper, crumble it up and burn it. The psychological baptism of doing this leads to the intellectual baptism of unlocking greater creativity and expanding overton windows. For too long, our algorithm in Ethereum has been: we have this existing ecosystem, what's the logical next step to make it one step better? Now, our algorithm should be: we have this L1 that is amazing and will become more amazing, we have a growing array of tools, both those built within our ecosystem and outside it, what are the most valuable things to build, knowing what we know now? If YOU had to write the section of the 2014 Ethereum whitepaper that talked about applications, and take a first-principles perspective of what makes sense in defi, decentralized social, identity, and elsewhere, what would you write? At least take the step of marking all path-dependence concerns down to zero, pretend for a brief moment that the Ethereum chain today has exactly zero usage and you're the one suggesting or building the first apps, and see what comes out. Do this even if you're the one building today's existing apps. This is how Ethereum can grow back stronger.

@WalkDog1984 @ika_xbt @VitalikButerin @RAILGUN_Project the answer you seek is literally in the first paragraph. they do not serve crimes.

@ika_xbt Just asking here how is $rail private when @VitalikButerin said in this post , that “ @RAILGUN_Project determines if your funds are illicit and if the algorithm decides the funds are then they are returned and you cannot use $rail services?

idk if rail gonna retrace or not but all i know is: if it doesn't go at least to 20$ (implying adoption of their privacy tech) then $ETH goes to fuckin 0

@ika_xbt it’s weekend. retracement already happening. if this nothing positive happens in the following weeks then the eth community is weak.

@0xthade someone from hyperliquid made the tvl on their perp pnl

ahh he probably thinks we wanna trade perps on fogo 😂

@zayn4pf @ika_xbt ethereum:0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d privacy on ethereum. coming soon to every wallet once the kohaku upgrade goes live. early narrative formation has pushed the price from $1 to $4.6

@ika_xbt what ticker is this

i want to witness again, the power of an atomic pump
