3. Start with the simplest possible project before going any deeper Blinking an LED may seem trivial but it demonstrates that your bootloader, compiler toolchain, and flasher are all working properly ruling out a significant source of errors later down the road.

2. Everything you need is in the reference manual You don't need to read the whole thing these things are no joke 1000+ pages long, but a quick skim of the ToC and the System Architecture section will take you farther than you think.

It took me a week to get this LED to blink 😭 Here's a few lessons learned from a week of failure 👉

got bored and published a python package. github.com/emnul/IconGen Deterministically generate 128x128 icons from any file. uvx --from icon-from-file icon-gen <filepath> [options]

@web3privacy @chaumdotcom @audreyt Looking forward to adding this one to my shelf!

We will publish a book soon! Full of incredible contributions from legendary @chaumdotcom on democracy to @audreyt on plurality.

That's 160 lines of Rust a day. RareCode makes it easy to lock in.

I plan on exploring the performance of a classical modular reduction algorithm vs Montgomery's algorithm vs a Mersenne prime optimized version of Montgomery's algorithm in Rust 🦀

Today years old when I discovered Mersenne primes. Mersenne prime numbers are numbers of the form 2^p - 1 where p is some prime number. I had no idea they were so prevalent in elliptic curve cryptography due to their efficient modular reduction property.

That's a wrap! 1442 lines of Rust with @RareCodeAI

Highly recommended for people who wants to discover arithmetization! Arithmetization | Proof is in the Pudding Session 01 by @cryptodavidw youtube.com/watch?v=QjNVYg…

Last week, @ignaciohagopian and I hosted an EPF study session giving a technical overview of our work on the @ethereumfndn zkEVM team. I give an introduction and some quick intuitions about zk, then Ignacio drills down on details and interactions with other planned upgrades. youtube.com/watch?v=Z0Nad1…

Wrote 1,000 lines of Rust with @RareCodeAI . Great platform to start your Rust journey. I found the AI tutor to be quite helpful when I struggled with the borrow checker

@0xVaLeRiO I don't think matcha is going to onboard the next billion users

Ethereum culture and why its failing, described in one video

The Joy of Cryptography is finally on bookshelves! Thanks to @mitpress for supporting the adventure. The book will eventually be completely open-access, but for now the first 3 chapters are available at joyofcryptography.com, featuring some fun interactive elements.

So proud to be a part of this team!

Convergence starts tomorrow and we have one last addition 👀 @VitalikButerin joins OpenZeppelin founder @demibrener for a fireside chat on open source, public goods, and keeping crypto radically open. 📆 Nov 21, 12:15pm Full agenda & registration: openzeppelin.com/convergence

OpenZeppelin UI Builder now supports the Midnight Network 🌕 Devs on @MidnightNtwrk can generate plug-and-play mini app interfaces for any deployed contract to inspect state, interact with it, and execute transactions. Try it out: builder.openzeppelin.com

OpenZeppelin Solidity Contracts v5.5 is here 💥 Gas optimizations, native passkey authentication, formal verification support, and cross-chain interoperability—all designed to help you build secure, efficient smart contracts. Here's what's new 🧵

Hey @MidnightNtwrk builders, meet LunarSwap 🌙 LunarSwap is a concentrated-liquidity DEX we built as a reference implementation, showing what's possible with privacy-first DeFi on Midnight. Explore the core contracts and infrastructure, then build your own privacy apps ⚒️
