🔥 NEW CONTEST 🔥 Post about Snek. Win $SNEK. 5,000,000 $SNEK up for grabs 💸 Ends April 30, see details below 👇

AVL Oracle Pool Now public on Ergo mainnet (been live for 1300+ epochs during testing). 20 price feeds in a single on-chain AVL tree with crypto (all Rosen supported L1s), commodities, and indices (S&P, Dow). Built on EIP-0023 v2 foundations with median-of-3 aggregation across multiple independent price sources. All contracts audited against v2 security tenets. Fully open source. All prices are stored in micro-dollars (USD x 1,000,000). The feed count is expandable via governance vote (Update NFT + 3-of-5 ballot) — new feeds are added to the AVL tree without redeploying contracts. Looking for oracle operators — 26 slots open (4 active). Lightweight daemon (512 MB RAM), pre-built jar available. Operator guide included. GitHub: github.com/cannonQ/AVL-Mu…

Great progress!

Etcha Alpha testing starts this weekend. Trade crypto and commodities with no databases and no off-chain gatekeepers. Real DeFi. Real settlement. Real soon. Day 957 of asking @krakenfx to list $Erg @pdimitrakos @DMBrumField @arjunsethi Day 86 of asking @coinbase to list $Erg @dankimxyz @zosegal @shaaa256

Etcha — decentralized options on Ergo. Alpha testing - will be available this weekend (one last bug to squash, minor but want it gone before release). Write calls and puts on crypto, commodities, and indices — settled in stablecoins, not ERG. The price you see is the price you get. No hidden ERG exposure at exercise. P2P today. Pooled liquidity next. Two settlement modes: - Physical delivery — exercise and receive real tokens (rsETH, rsBTC, DexyGold) - Cash settlement — exercise and receive stablecoin payout (USE, SigUSD) No databases. No off-chain decision points. Smart contracts enforce all settlement logic. Bot is open-source — anyone can run it. Powered by the AVL Oracle Pool (see previous post).

Crowdfunding meets a fair lottery. Raffles on Bitcoin. Beta soon

I'm quite proud of this milestone.

 Private transactions are finally live on Ethereum! - Private function inputs
 - Private state
 - Private contractual terms - (you don't even need to broadcast the bytecode to execute private fns, so your agreements can stay private)
 - Private execution 
- Private msg_sender
 - Private composability
 - Private smart contracts making external calls to other private smart contracts, in a single tx, all on the user's device.
 - Private logs
 - Private consumption of L1->L2 messages
 - Private emission of L2->L1 messages

 Observers learn: someone did something; we're not sure what, but we know they followed the rules of whatever it was. 

Plus, composability with public smart contracts:
 - Public state, functions, smart contract code, execution, events, etc.
 - Make public fn calls from private
 - Emit notes & nullifiers from public

 Plus, composability with L1 liquidity and state through L1<>L2 messaging.

 Plus, composability with the growing ecosystem of "proofs of everything". Verify zk-proofs of whatever directly in private smart contracts, without revealing what you were verifying or even the fact that you verified a proof. 

 Easy programmability, with a novel smart contract framework which:

 - provides convenient abstractions to help you build quickly and safely on top of a note/nullifier-based protocol.
 - has rails for simple emission and efficient discovery of private logs (encrypted notes and messages) 
 - no more brute-forcing of notes
 - handles db management of notes, nullifiers, logs for all smart contracts
 - simple js sdk for deploying and interacting with smart contracts

 Flexibility, for advanced devs: 

- Custom note structs
 - Custom nullification schemes (if you want)
 - Custom private log emission, delivery, and processing:
 - Custom secret sharing
 - Custom encryption schemes
 - Offchain logs, Onchain logs (via blobs) 
 - Constrained or unconstrained delivery of logs (depending on your use case)
 - Custom discovery and processing of logs

 That's ideal for customising private token designs however you need.

 Abstraction 

- Account abstraction:
 - No EoAs: there are only smart contracts. 
 - Any contract can be the "entrypoint" to a tx (as long as it accepts msg_sender == null). 
 - A dapp can be the entrypoint, if you meet its custom entrypoint criteria:
 - Custom tx entrypoint criteria: 
 - Traditional signatures: 
 - Any signature scheme you want 
 - Sign in with 
 - Passkeys 
 - FaceId/TouchId 
 - Password 
 - Proof of zkpassport 
 - Proof of membership to 
 - Proof of subscription to an app
 - Proof of whatever you want
 - A signed message from Vitalik that he likes you.
 - No one will even learn what kind of custom entrypoint you used!
 - Fee Abstraction:
 - Pay with any token 
 - Pay with NFTs, if you want 
 - Dapps can pay the network fees on users' behalves:
 - Subsidise certain actions and pay users' fees for better onboarding; or
 - Verify a proof of subscription to your app; or 
 - Verify that the user has a voucher for a free trial; or 
 - Pay a fee from the user's activities within the app (e.g. extract a fee from a swap)
 - Or pay directly with FeeJuice
 - Pay fees privately 

Works on phones and in the browser. 
- That's hard to do. Lots of cryptography. Nice.

 Decentralised.
 - You know all the reasons why decentralisation is important.
 - Decentralising an L2 is _really hard_. The block production protocol is a work of art.

 Loads of innovations, behind the scenes: 
- Insane client-side proving system (CHONK) for low-memory, fast proving on phones and in browsers.
 - A custom zkVM (the "AVM") for efficiently proving public function execution.
 - Noir: A purpose-built DSL for proving programs. Huge in its own right. 
- Recursive proving of the rollup's txs into a single proof. 
 - Possibly my favourite fact about Aztec: You don't technically need to "deploy" a private-fn-only contract: you can just execute it and submit a proof, even if no one else in the world has ever seen the code. That's mad. 
- A kzg blob-batching protocol that saves 10m gas every aztec epoch, when submitting the rollup proof to L1.
 - An unhinged private kernel architecture for private function execution and composing calls between private functions that:
 - Stitches-together the inputs and outputs of the circuits; 
 - Enables smart contracts to only pay for merkle membership constraints that they actually need, for the number of notes that that they actually needed to read.
 - Enables smart contracts to recursively call themselves if they need to nullify more notes.
 - Enables a function to nullify notes that were created earlier by other functions in the same tx. It then enables that note and nullifier to be deleted to save the user $'s on DA emission.
 - Safely "siloes" notes, nullifiers and logs, to prevent malicious contracts from contaminating other contracts' state or impersonating other contracts.
 - Protects against Faerie Gold attacks at the protocol level.
 - Enables private functions to be upgraded. 
 - Enables master secret keys to be app-siloed, to prevent malicious apps from learning master secret keys (nullifier keys & viewing keys).


 --- Think of a private blockchain application that you've seen. Now build it quickly on Aztec.
 Think of a private blockchain application you haven't been able to build yet. Now build it quickly on Aztec.
 Now compose them all together in one beautiful private ecosystem. 

It's taken a while to get here. It's still an Alpha network, so stay cautious.

 We're now working on a gigantic Roadmap of enhancements. Nice.

It is exciting to see that "crypto" is considered uncool now. What is needed that is trust-minimized monetary and financial tooling in p2p setting. Blockchain , ZK, whatever cryptography are just pieces of a puzzle. And abstract "crypto" is not needed at all.

There are a lot of people bullish on Cardano, I see them, they like our tweets every day. But there's a smaller group that has lost fate and they are all over our comments section. Dear silent bulls, we need you to be more vocal🫡

@ShulyGC Maybe next Monday haha. Have a good week!

@wasHAPInen Buajjajajajajajajajjajja You need therapy 🤣

GM, fam 🥰 It’s Monday, and my brain🧠 still thinks it’s Sunday. But hey... Coffee☕️, attitude🙂, and let’s crush it🔥 Monday doesn't beat us; we dominate it! If you’re also pretending to have energy, hit me a❤️and let me know in cooments how is your Monday MOOD... x.com/ShulyGC/status…

@ShulyGC Haha thanks it’s my game face

@wasHAPInen I love ur Monday Face 🤣

You can mine $ERG at home with a GPU, swap $ERG for a number of coins using decentralised exchange (Mew Finance), and bridge the coin back to it's native chain using a decentralised bridge (Rosen Bridge) No centralised exchange or bank included Ergo 🔥

We are actively working on integrating Cardano into Fireblocks. The integration has been ready & publicly accessible since 3 weeks ago. It is open source. We are further optimizing the integration and looking forward to showcasing a demo video for you. You can check the link below: github.com/fireblocks/car…

North Star DEX isn’t trying to be louder than the market. It’s trying to be smarter than it. A refundable Early Bird structure. A fully non-custodial AMM DEX. A token model tied to actual protocol revenue. This is what aligned DeFi should look like.
