Looks like I've been yapping @AbstractChain for a while now without proper intro. So, here's one. Abstract is a new Layer 2 (L2) blockchain on Ethereum—doing what L2's are known for + more. 🧵

Introducing Arcium's live ecosystem. Projects building on mainnet, devnet, and close to launch.

@absforeever there's sincerely a massive thought process gone into the decision of abstract portal fr. They created the path for others to follow. I think plume took the idea from them too (but of course, no one will admit what inspired them)

MegaETH Terminal feels like a mix of Blast mechanics and the Abstract portal (of course, no one from the MegaETH team will admit what inspired them) First impressions of the site were good - until I started exploring the apps Attention! For each app you need to: 1. Connect Terminal 2. Create a wallet via Privy 3. Fund it This is not a joke. You have to do this for every single app You end up with a bunch of wallets that you need to fund and withdraw from This is inconvenient even for crypto users, let alone newcomers And this is what 110M$ worth of “technology” looks like For comparison: Abstract raised 11M$ and spent just 6 months building their own wallet with Web2-like UX Just try Abstract - you don’t need to fund every app separately. One wallet connection is enough Now let’s go through the apps on Terminal: Kumbaya - DEX, nothing interesting HitOne - trading app with up to 1000x leverage. Terrible design, feels like pure vibe coding. No proper docs explaining fees or mechanics. After placing a trade, you randomly get an asset and even the direction (long/short) - you don’t choose it. lol Feels like MegaETH is just throwing in whatever they have due to lack of better options and showcasing it as flagship apps Mnstr - RWA TCG packs with instant buyback at ~85% of value On Abstract, you get 90–95% buyback (Gacha Pull, Shiny), Shiny has a well-known founder from the esports/Twitch scene, a solid roadmap, and likely airdrop potential - unlike this app, which just feels like it’s there to take your money Nextrare - RWA TCG packs on mobile. Not sure who needs this TopStrike - something about football and cards. Sounds interesting, but the site is blocked in Germany. lmao ITS - hard to even understand what it is I don’t see long-term success for MegaETH, and even ultra-fast transactions won’t help The hype will fade - having Vitalik as an investor can only carry it so far Even Blast looked better - and it still failed Because no one needs new general-purpose L2s anymore MegaETH is a blockchain for crypto users and even then, it’s inconvenient Abstract, on the other hand, is quietly building with a clear goal: onboarding non-crypto users Come see what's possible with 10x less funding - and draw your own conclusions Abstract time is coming

@the_grafixmedic *turns on on brain focus mode* cos wtf

Our brain doesn’t really process everything it sees in detail. It quickly predicts meaning using experience and context because fully analyzing everything would be too slow and tiring. So it just relies on shortcuts to make sense of things fast. Another interesting example is how you can still read something like this: “Yuo can porbalby raed tihs snetnece…” Even though the spelling is clearly wrong, you still understand it almost instantly. Your brain just fixes it on the spot without you thinking too much about it. It’s like your mind isn’t focused on the exact letters, but on the meaning behind them. Once it gets the idea, it just fills in the gaps and moves on, like “I’ve got this already, no need to slow down.” That same process is actually what makes you able to read quickly, recognize people’s faces in a split second, and make decisions without overthinking every detail. But it has a downside too. Sometimes it leads to illusions, biases, or those moments where you suddenly pause pause and think, “wait… what did I just read or see" Now read the last paragraph again.

@nicklb_ I support whosoever is right

hey david, i’d love to hear where your claimed limit of 3 parties for cerberus comes from? BDOZ online phases are extremely fast and the main factor in computation time is latency rather than bandwidth until you reach a much higher number of nodes or parallel computations. adding nodes doesn’t add rounds of communication, and consequently runtime isn’t significantly affected between 3 and 6 parties for example. it’s also an advantage of having separate clusters that you can distribute that load instead of having it all weigh on a single committee. which brings us to interoperability: privacy fundamentally limits free interoperability, since program B shouldn’t be able to do whatever it wants with program A’s private state (including reveal it): there needs to be role-based access, which requires involvement of the committee. which is exactly what we have with symmetric-key encryption for data meant for specific users (or even other programs). interop then comes in two distinct flavors: permissionned (the one you mention where program A re-encrypts part of its state to program B’s key so B can use it), and permissionless, where a user provides their state plus a ZKP to show it corresponds to the onchain symmetric ciphertext (umbra actually uses this trick for certain ops already). sidenote: ZKPs are also something you leave out when talking about your privacy solution, is it the same as zama where the user’s expected to produce this big zkp client-side with every tx? as for silent decryption attacks, you know just as well as me that all threshold systems share those attacks, yours included. and yes it involves more parties, but you conveniently gloss over the 2/3 honest supermajority assumption and just talk about committee sizes as if they were comparable in any way to dishonest majority (they aren’t). not only do you eventually run into diminishing returns on security (you can’t expect 50-100 nodes to all run on different infrastructure and not reuse providers/locations at all, which makes them less independent in terms of hacks), but even with a small probability of hacking a given node, you require far larger committee sizes to match dishonest majority’s security. e.g. for a 5% chance of a node being compromised, your system would need 21 nodes to match the security of a 4-party MXE. in our case, the recovery set can be extremely large because its size has no impact on throughput, only on key recovery. also believe it or not key switching is a thing in MPC too! which means you can set up your MXE so that keys are rotated every epoch and the state is re-encrypted by the committee, which mitigates key leaks in the exact same way FHE-based systems can

@intelligency_ Hbd ski

X gave me balloons 🎈🎉

@PrecyartG @0xSoje he triggered the wrong dude😭😹

@0xSoje please please 😂😂 don't trigger me with this gimmick man, I know how much I was offered as a fresh graduate when I finished "no structured company will offer you 95k as a salary...." leave your LinkedIn bubble 😂😂

whenever i see stuff like this, it's usually so funny, the ignorance is so glaring. no structured company will offer you 95k as a salary, even as a fresh graduate. have you people actually applied for jobs before or you're just repeating what you heard? even graduate trainee programs, entry level, fresh out of school in decent organisations are paying 150k-400k minimum at most structured companies. that's before you even talk about mid-level or senior roles. you are just showing proof that you've never sat down to write a cv, research companies, taken an assessment, or negotiate an offer in your life. that one said "it's by connection" lol

T-minus 2 days..... Who's looking ready for a fire drop??

@Abdulhameed_007 you're broken creatively cos wth

Testing……

Que sera, sera

@DailaX Wen invite me over?

I made salmon and a quinoa salad and lowkey impressed myself. Fancy Helf.

@Halalb0y I like the short one's hair. I feel it

Idk man but this shit looks hard.

my fav character in Avatar remains the cabbage man. Avatar will always remain a villian to him.

@mztacat how to trace its root. help a bro

The moment you noticed you misclicked "a drainer, a script, an approval on pc" First thing first, - Disconnect the pc off the Internet 🛜 - Trace it's root and reverse (chatgpt will help you, for non sophisticated users) DO NOT USE SAME SYSTEM TO FIND A SOLUTION. _ Completely take it off the network

@gmpcxyz @Arcium see you there, as usual

It's another <encrypted> week Pretty much the same schedule as always We're going to try another workshop this week, this time diving into Solana The events will be set in Discord for time-specific info

@SultanXchain lost another one 👀

Dear unfollowing peeps I'm not doing anything wrong, believe me. I try my best to show up everyday and I don't bore anyone with my rl situations because I know it's gonna be over soon So when you get bored of me, kindly unfollow me And remind me to do the same Ty....

@GMB_AOB @0xSLK definitely ME!!!

Slik just gave me 20 MoG Keys We are adding to the 40 key giveaway. Absolute goat 👏 Who wants some keys?

@joejoeboy0 I've been there 💔😂

First time experiencing this and it’s painful asf😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
