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…

@delta_alpha_ohm Institutions meaning = entrenched system of value creation, not literal institutions

Alexis Ohanian (@alexisohanian) says collectibles are his generation's contemporary art: "Having an '86 Fleer Jordan rookie card in mint condition on my desk is a more satisfying flex for me than having, like, a Warhol." "I'm a big fan of collectible video games, match-worn athletic apparel, etc. All these things are culture assets for us." "I think this is our contemporary art. Especially for a generation of us who grew up collecting and idolizing [these athletes]."
