🚨 New paper: On Sybil-proofness in Restaking Networks with @tarunchitra and @PaoloPenna8 We ask: when does splitting stake across identities in restaking protocols become profitable?

Last call for submissions to SBC! Deadline: Tomorrow, 13 March 2026. Visit sbc-conference.com/2026/ for details. @danboneh @Tim_Roughgarden @dawnsongtweets @CBRStanford @initc3org @BerkeleyRDI

proud moment: @ekailabsxyz mentioned in @Forbes you create the context. LLM apps lock it in. they own it and have no incentive to make it portable. we are building the missing layer: portable + persistent + sovereign AI context user-owned. privacy-first.

@chainyoda If no one’s buying or selling… is it a stablecoin?

Coins go up by buying and go down by selling That’s it, that’s all you need to know about tokenomics Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

SBC will be at Stanford next summer, plan to submit your best research papers!

Ekai gateway supports x402. No more API keys. Pay as you go for LLM inference (Claude, Grok, OpenAI). Developers switch models regularly, but there is friction with signing up, adding credit cards and generating API keys. This is broken. Ekai gateway fixes this with x402. Now use any LLM from any interface such as claude code, codex.

Brief overview of our gateway's capabilities

Takeaway: restaking inherits fundamental limits on Sybil resistance. Slashing alone may not be enough. 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2509.18338

Network topology matters: - Homogeneous networks (Erdős-Rényi) are Sybil-proof - In heterogeneous networks, splitting can become profitable

Our manifesto 👇 Every LLM conversation you have makes someone else richer with your intelligence. We are living through the largest transfer of intelligence in history, one prompt at a time.
