Here is my Yellow Paper notation cheat sheet! Super useful to avoid scrolling back 6 page because you don't remember wtf was the meaning of σ[a]s[k]

@owocki @LefterisJP @ch4r10t33r @dankrad It comes from here, most wtf video I've ever seen youtu.be/mRNtw_Tc1Jc?is…

@LefterisJP @ch4r10t33r @dankrad Idk I just searched cult on twitter gifs

Sounds like a fun cult to work for 🤔

Today, the SDNY prosecutors filed a letter to Judge Failla requesting a retrial date. They want to go again in October. The prosecutors want to retry me on 2 counts the jury couldn't unanimously decide on. A jury of 12 Americans heard 4 weeks of evidence and deadlocked: no verdict on money laundering, and no verdict on sanctions violations. The government's response? Try again to make writing code a crime. @realDonaldTrump declared the "War on Crypto is over." 🇺🇸 AG @DAGToddBlanche's memo: DOJ "is not a digital assets regulator" and won't target mixers for end-user acts. @USTreasury lifted Tornado Cash sanctions entirely. ✅ Also Treasury, March 2026: "Lawful users of digital assets may leverage mixers to enable financial privacy." — official report to Congress under the GENIUS Act. But the SDNY prosecutors — same country, same DOJ — just filed to retry me anyway. 🤔 ⠀ The 2 counts = up to 40 years in federal prison. ⛓️ For writing open-source code. For a protocol I don't control. For transactions I never touched. A jury already couldn't agree this was criminal. But the SDNY prosecutors want to keep trying with the hope of getting a different answer. ⠀ I have a daughter. I have a life in Seattle. I will never stop fighting for freedom. ❤️ But I need to be honest with you: Four weeks of trial. A hung jury. Now they want to do it all over again in October. I have basically exhausted my legal defense funds. And I'm staring down another full federal trial. 😔 Every dollar raised goes directly to keeping this fight alive — attorneys, experts, the full defense apparatus it takes to stand up to the SDNY prosecutors. This isn't abstract. If I can't fund a defense, they win by default. If you care about financial privacy, if you write code and believe that code is speech — this is the moment. 💻🔐 👇

@WhiteHatMage It's fixed!

@pldespaigne Thanks bro. I checked the example, and it looks really nice. It didn't work for the weth address on ethereum though

I'll take a week to perform an interesting and probably stupid experiment: Hunting for live EVM bugs by checking the deployed bytecode. I'm allowing myself to cheat a little bit by checking the verified code to quickly understand what's going on. I'll also use a Yul decompiler for complex contracts and try a disassembler for simpler ones. There are critical contracts out there holding really big bags that are worth the effort. My main goal though is just to understand what's going on under the hood, and maybe get some inspiration for any potential unknown vectors. Also for understanding what's needed to get a clean input for any automated tools to perform further analysis. I don't expect to find any bugs honestly. It will be painful, but fun at the same time. I just love having the freedom to navigate any crazy paths I choose 🧙‍♂️

@WhiteHatMage Damn! I'll fix asap I'll let you know when fixed

@nisedo_ Too sad I won't be able to attend 😢

THE place to be for web3sec builders

@philogy SenseiLang will fix it 🫡

stack too deep

A subset of transactions can be perfectly simulated before broadcasting. Interestingly those txs are also guaranteed to be MEV-proof. That's the case for txs depending only storage owned by the sender for example.

@thedaofund x.com/i/status/19197…

As we think about funding Ethereum security long term: what parts of security do you believe are most underfunded today? We’re listening.

@Jayakumar2812 If you trace an old transaction, yes, the only way to ensure a correct trace is to replay all previous tx of the block. But for new transactions, that's not possible.

@pldespaigne What about forking from previous transaction hash from the block , i think it simulates all the previous transactions in the block and then you could send your transaction for ideal simulation

Every time you simulate a transaction, the simulation assumes your tx will be the very first of the block, which is almost always wrong

@theSouilos x.com/pldespaigne/st…

🚨 Address poisoning is evolving. Attackers now send back REAL tokens (USDT/USDC) from lookalike addresses after your test tx (it looks like a refund). NEVER copy addresses from Etherscan or your address history. Always verify the FULL address.

Nothing changed

@beckerrjon Dune

@philbugcatcher Warm! Unless the first reading call reverted

If a contract calls another contract twice, and both calls read the same storage variables - will the second call be a warm read or a cold read?

1. Transaction outcome depends on blockchain state 2. Blockchain state can change after each transaction 3. You cannot predict exactly when your transaction will be included* That's why perfect transaction simulation is not possible* *(except if you are the current validator)

@nisedo_ 🤫

@pldespaigne what sorcery is this

just search ANTHROPIC_API_KEY on github thank me later

I swear, forwarding gas during a call plus a special stipend, but all capped to 63/64th of the available gas, it really sounds like a French tax law already

If we keep adding complexity to Ethereum, in ten years, we will realize that we have just rebuilt the French administration from scratch.
