@Nomina Yeye

Hundreds of millions of dollars have been processed through the Nomina Trading Terminal Funding rate arbitrage was just the first of many specialized strategies we will offer to traders As the onchain economy grows, so will Nomina

@LithuaniaMFA @LithuanianGovt @LithuaniaInEU @LTembassyUS 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹

On 11 March 1990, Lithuania restored its Independence. Despite Soviet aggression, propaganda and an economic blockade, we persisted with courage, truth and unity. That choice still defines us. 🇱🇹

@Nomina Waiting, maybe you will release it one day, maybe in 2045

$22,000,000,000,000 is managed by OEMS platforms But today, there is no onchain equivalent We are building the world's first permissionless OEMS to unify trades across the entire onchain economy x.com/Nomina/status/…

@AustinKing @HyperliquidX When could we expect the terminal publicly accessible to everyone around the globe?

It's now been 9 years that I've been a founder in the crypto space. Roughly 10 months ago I think everything changed. @HyperliquidX broke the collective hallucination this industry was living in. This breakdown is showing itself in slow motion in one extremely simple way: the current altcoin market conditions. What does an industry do when nearly every single top altcoin makes absolutely marginal revenue in relation to their multi-billion dollar valuations, and then 1 single project comes along and shows it all was a facade? I think the first thing it did was denial. People had significant capital invested in projects that generated no value. We were all living in this distorted reality where somehow something can be worth billions, yet it is hard to precisely describe the value it brings to the world. Therefore there was significant financial incentive from millions of altcoin holders worldwide to propagandize their existing bags, and they did exactly that. However, you can delay the market becoming rational but you cannot forever avoid the arrival of market participants capitalizing off mispriced assets. We are seeing this play out in slow motion right now. We have had almost a full decade of convincing ourselves that these networks are somehow different, and don't need to actually generate quantifiable financial returns downstream of their operations. At this point I can say the following with complete confidence: it is inevitable that crypto projects with poor economics that generate little revenue will die. It does not matter how strong their community is. All of this happened while I found myself as a founder of a network that specifically had failed to generate sizable revenue. That project was called Omni Network. I've always worked on interoperability, chain abstraction, whatever you want to call it. It's just been clear to me since 2017, since the founding of my first company and my final year at Harvard that it's too difficult for people to actually work across the onchain financial system. Omni was an attempt to fix this. Transparently, it mostly failed. We had a lot of projects build on us during testnet (later we realized this was not because of the product, but because people thought we were good at marketing and wanted to get amplified) and as we had launched mainnet it was grueling trying to convert projects to mainnet deployments. So in May of 2025 I found myself as the cofounder of a project that simply can be described in many ways as the opposite of @HyperliquidX. Little usage, little revenue and no PMF. Seeing the amount of revenue that Hyperliquid was able to generate as a blockchain made it very clear the standard had been elevated and the project needed to achieve PMF or it would die. Downstream, I stopped behaving like a more traditional crypto founder that writes posts optimized for crypto twitter and tries to generate hype around his project to incentivize other builders to launch on his platform. Instead, I worked in a more traditional non-crypto founder way and defined a hyper specific customer segment and talked to hundreds of people that fit that mold. Specifically people who have a net worth of $400k - $2m and make multiple onchain transactions per day. This started in May of 2025, and it took about 4 months for us to clearly understand the problems that segment was experiencing and deliver the first version of our product that had a clear path to substantial revenue. This is when we officially pivoted to Nomina publicly. It's been 6 months now and I think the traction we have built has definitively proven the hypothesis: that this customer segment is willing to pay substantial amounts of money not only for superior onchain execution, but simply for it not being a huge pain. Onchain markets are still incredibly immature, and if you're coming from traditional finance trading these markets feels absolutely primitive. Many people currently think of Nomina as a trading terminal, but the goal really was to prove out the hypothesis that people would be willing to pay for simplified execution of trades across multiple platforms. Moving forward, less of our work is going to be on the terminal as that was primarily a way to validate this hypothesis. What people primarily care about is the core engine that abstracts away all the nuances of each venue. They just want to talk to one system and place their transactions. We're going to be expanding our work and launching products on top of the core engine we have built, and as time progresses the unified API will be available for early build partners to launch their own businesses. Altcoin markets will continue to get pulverized. Almost every single project in this industry has absolutely hollow economics. However, if you look carefully there are a few projects out there right now that are actually making incredible progress despite the market conditions and will be the key winners over the next bull cycle.

@VitalikButerin What about just using Aztec for privacy?

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.

🚨This almost NEVER happens. February just closed red, making 5 straight months of LOSSES. That's roughly -47% DOWN ($59.2K) from October's peak. It’s also the FIRST TIME both Jan & Feb finished red back-to-back. If March closes red too, it would be just the 2nd time EVER in Bitcoin’s history.

@sama This is bad...

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

Migration successful ✅

@zjkbvts2020 @aztecnetwork @EthereumDenver if you don't understand what you are investing into or economics, please don't comment nonsense, thanks

@aztecnetwork @EthereumDenver Cool but once the coin price dumps another 90% what the fuck is the point of all this? What a shit show

GM Mile High City. It's time to grab your coffee, do a hot lap, and stop by your favorite Privacy Booth located in the Prosperia Area at @EthereumDenver. Day 1 of ETHDenver starts now.

@rusembassynl Be prepared to crush russia everyone and lay it back to the dark ages if they even dare to touch us like they did Ukraine!

The message couldn’t be clearer: you’re preparing for war — not for peace. President V. Putin has already said that Russia is not planning to go to war against Europe. And don’t forget to ask the ordinary Dutch people whether they would choose war over peace. #Nederland #war
