Reservoir has raised a Series A led by @usv! What makes Reservoir special is how we've responded to the exploding number of blockchains. We're not just "multi" chain. We're "every" chain. It's deep in the DNA of how we design our products, and we're starting to see it pay off with the success of @RelayProtocol But we're just getting started. So. Many. Chains. Plus some insane new products that we haven't announced yet. All pushing towards unleashing the potential of onchain assets. Super thankful to everyone who has supported us along the way, especially the earliest believers: @nickgrossman, @jessewldn, @ashegan, @dberenzon, @yonatansela p.s. come join us, we're hiring!

@boredGenius Are we actually ready? You’d recommend for a big new project starting today?

You can start building secure Ethereum smart contracts today using AI-assisted formal verification with tama.tools 🫡

@mteamisloading @gakonst Linear already does this. If you delegate an issue to an agent, whole team can see and jump in thread

@gakonst This would be so useful in linear too. Let me prompt my agent somewhere my team can see and give life feedback on.

multiplayer codex instead of slack with an awesome api for programmable text blocks who's building this

@jwegener this gives me last.fm "who listened first" vibes

My wife and I were in the SAME place at the SAME time, 4 years before we ever met🤯🤯🤯 I built an app that scans your photo library to reveal every time you crossed paths with someone -- before you ever met! Reply "beta" if you'd like to try it!

@tayvano_ @mdudas I wonder if you could find a proactive law enforcement agency that could work closely with SEAL911 and issue real-time freeze requests to Circle. Gives Circle some cover (justified or not), and achieves desired outcome

@mdudas It’s absolute unhinged to hear this come out the mouth of the CEO OF A PUBLIC COMPANY. These are the words of the most waffly, overly philosophical, early stage, pussy ass founder.

@mhluongo @hasufl Yep, agree this is really good approach

@ptrwtts @hasufl Yep. We've used it successfully in various forms and iterations of tBTC. Usually the council can also replace the pauser or fully remove the functionality. That way you can have a couple security folks on pager duty quickly respond to threats without worrying about censorship.

I really hope your protocol has at least timelocks + security council right now. If not, make it a top priority to upgrade.

@mhluongo @hasufl what do you mean by this? a security council where single signer can pause, but quorum can overrule?

@hasufl We need to make a vetoable pauser a more common feature!

@keoneHD .@l2beat are pretty great at this disco.l2beat.com/ui/p/arbitrum

Admin Audit: a new kind of audit that only audits protocols from the perspective of multisig configuration, presence of timelocks on dangerous functions, use of cold devices for signing, multisig signing procedure, etc. Smart contract audits tend to focus on contract logic while treating admin roles as trusted. They might flag suboptimal configurations, but ultimately the pass/fail is based on presence of logic bugs. An Admin Audit would be the exact opposite - only focused on asking the question "what happens if multisig members get compromised" and "does the team follow best practices that substantially reduce the odds of compromise". Protocols would need to get both a smart contract audit and an admin audit - users would demand both. The admin audit would be substantially cheaper than the smart contract audit since the best practice is well-defined and issues are obvious, whereas smart contract audits are looking for needles in haystacks. Ecosystem foundations could subsidize these - for example, if a reputable firm offered these, we at the Monad Foundation would be happy to subsidize. Admin audits would capture a lot of the low-hanging fruit. Realistically, many of the huge hacks in the history of DeFi have been admin compromise rather than logical bugs. If you are building this, please reach out.

@uninsightful interesting, does pangram auto-hide slop?

my updated DAU apps list: true-DAU: 1. claude (webapp) 2. granola near-DAU: 3. tasklet 4. conductor + claude code + wisprflow 5. grok (within this app) 6. pangram delta from 10 months ago: 1. chatgpt is out. still a fantastic product but single-subscription is nice. claude code was the hook. the Anthropic bundle is working! 2. agent-builders are soooo good now. I use agents for a mix of background automations and one-off data analysis across our internal data. there are a handful of great ones out there, my preferred one is @taskletai 3. the new coding stack. Opus-4.5 unlocked a wave of casual builders like myself. Really hard to beat the @conductor_build + CC + @wisprflow stack 4. @grok is much improved. probably the best "embedded ai" feature in all of consumer. find myself increasingly using it to get more context on posts 5. X is a cesspool of slop and a nonstop assault on your brain. it is also simultaneously irreplaceable. avoiding AI writing has made my experience on this app more enjoyable. @pangramlabs is a decent, embedded tool for this what else are people using daily?

@JustJake congrats on the overnight success :)

The demand for software (and compute) is unlimited 15k, gapping +40% w/w

@trent_vanepps maybe rather than more blobs, it will just increase the importance and adoption of blob sharing ephema.io/blog/blob-shar…

@ptrwtts thanks! forwarded to the big brains thinking about these things =)

Ethereum needs to support a much larger number of smaller blobs. Right now, L2s typically post every few minutes, which makes sense when L1 finalizes in 13 minutes. But with this rule, there is an incentive to post a blob every block, to improve bridge / cex UX.

@jackchuma @base what exactly do you mean by "tx manager"? like this? github.com/joshstevens19/…

Has anyone built a high quality production tx manager in rust using alloy abstractions? Can’t find one from initial searches. Considering adding our own to the @base stack

@keoneHD Price impact is just input $ amount vs output $ amount. It covers either moving the market, poor liquidity or bad routing

It is still crazy to me that most crypto trading frontends display "price impact" (amount that this trade will affect the market) as opposed to "difference between avg trade price and fair value" (using an external source). In most cases, users want to know how good/bad the pricing is, not how much they are going to move the market (which might already be mispriced). This is 100% an artifact of AMMs.

@typedarray i'd say a *little* less useful, for the purpose of full balance tracking. just means you need a starting snapshot of balances. still hugely valuable for real-time monitoring, e.g. use cases like deposit addresses

@ptrwtts Unfortunately this EIP becomes much less useful if the logs are only available starting from the fork block (missing data / incorrect accounting for older accounts) To backfill them, you'd need to rewrite history - don't think there's any appetite for that (on ethereum)

WHY IS THIS EIP NOT SHIPPED ON EVERY EVM CHAIN ALREADY!!??

@CarlBeek @donnoh_eth @rudolf6_ @philipliao_ amazing!

@donnoh_eth @rudolf6_ @ptrwtts @philipliao_ this one is basically on the bag already

@charliemktplace sadly, smart contract wallets are a thing 😭

@ptrwtts Isn't msg value kind of it's own log? Lol 😂. Well I guess contract transfers are traces only which is a pain

@philipliao_ Nice. Didn’t know about the progress. But sounds not yet guaranteed. Correct?

@ptrwtts just one more hardfork forkcast.org/eips/7708/

@0xtanishk You should start your own chain and show how it’s done

@ptrwtts Have been trying since fusaka
