Whitepaper Reading Club

📝 Whitepaper Reading Singapore Topic: Internet Capital Markets + Solana Constellation Date: Thu 28th May - 6:30PM Register: luma.com/whitep-c9kb I think this is a beautiful idea :) Topic 1: Internet Capital Markets (@solana) - Summary: wprc.club/papers/wprc-sg… - Full Blog: @toly's - anza.xyz/blog/the-inter… | youtube.com/watch?v=gbmmQY… | youtube.com/watch?v=ijbLOW…) Topic 2: Constellation @anza_xyz, @TheWattenhofer, @DiscoKobi et el): Solana's single-leader model gives each block producer a king for that period: (1) enabling front-running, (2) selective censorship, and (3)MEV extraction. Eth ecosystems fix (PBS) just redistributes MEV among validators. Constellation takes the opposite approach: ~16 simultaneous proposers, ~256 attesters on synchronized UTC clocks, and a constrained leader who must include any transaction reaching the attestation threshold. The result is protocol-enforced censorship resistance at a 50 ms economic tick — structurally removing the leader's ability to exploit users rather than just redistributing the proceeds. We'll break down why this matters for DeFi market structure, how it compares to Ethereum's PBS path, and what the real trade-offs are (clock sync assumptions, deterministic parallel scheduling, the two-tiered fee model). These were the people behind Alpenglow, where we held a discussion a whitle back) Links: - Constellation: constellation.anza.xyz Thank you @SuperteamSG (@Kimmi_Unni) for hosting us again! - Summary: wprc.club/papers/wprc-sg…

@dunleavy89 Hi Tom - we're hosting a roundtable Whitepaper Reading in SF with @tms7331 next week on your article. Would love to see if you'd be interested in reviewing the summaries that we are doing for it (docs.google.com/document/d/1EK…)! If you have any notes for us :)

@JundoYaps @BrianSeong Thank you - where are you based?!

@BrianSeong @WPReadingClub this hits different. real research, not hype. buried notes finally become a public, searchable hub. when's the next chapter?

New website announcement: wprc.club One of the things i'm most proud of building is @WPReadingClub. we started as a small group of people who just wanted to sit down and actually read the papers behind the protocols we use every day. no pitch decks, no token talk — just the raw research. that turned into 8 city chapters, 69 sessions, 56 papers covered, and some of the best technical discussions i've ever been part of. the summaries and discussion notes our members write after every session are genuinely some of the highest quality breakdowns in crypto. better than most blog posts, better than most twitter threads. the problem was they were buried in google docs. hard to share, hard to discover, impossible to build on. that always bothered me. so we rebuilt everything into a proper home — wprc.club. every summary, every discussion note, every paper we've covered — all searchable, all public, all in one place. the knowledge our members create deserves to be seen. huge shoutout to @mrrongxin for everything he's done to keep WPRC running and growing. from organizing sessions to pushing the quality bar higher every time — this wouldn't be what it is without him. this is just the start. WPRC isn't a brand, it's a protocol for learning together. and we're only going to keep pushing it forward — more chapters, more contributors, more people who believe the best way to understand this industry is to read the damn paper.📄

@tsvtxt Thank you and I know right! haha - do you have any ideas that you are working on topics that you are interested in!

@WPReadingClub No pitch decks or token talk? Sounds like a good way to actually build useful internet things. We need more of that.

Website Update: wprc.club 📝 At the heart of Whitepaper Reading Club is the knowledge created by members - including summaries that deepen our understanding and discussion notes. These used to live in Google Docs. This is difficult to share and does not give visibility to the brilliant minds who created them. ✅ Today, we're updating the Whitepaper Reading Club site — we'll now share summaries directly from the site, where they're easy to search and discover: wprc.club/papers/kohaku-… Looking ahead, we will improve how summaries are created and their formats. ✅ We also updated our landing page wprc.club to share our: values, process, and an overview of chapters. 💬 If you have ideas/feedback or want to get involved, please reach out to us Most importantly - shoutout to @BrianSeong for building WPRC - he’s an incredible researcher and builder and hosts amazing Whitepaper Readings :) ------ Note: We'll still print summaries at every discussion, but the deeper, longer versions will live on the site. Old Summaries: docs.google.com/document/d/1_4… Thank you to the amazing people making Whitepaper Reading Club: @BrianSeong, @0xYudhishthra, @shuenrui, @BintuParis, @ninjanovadotsol, @zeebradoom, @0xfishylosopher, @tms7331, @joy_890913, @Slutsky___

@OrionFinanceAI Congrats!

Bug Bounty Week 3 📌 This week, we've processed 14 new submissions. The updated scoreboard: - Total Reports: 75 - New Findings: +4 Lows identified and mitigated. Every submission helps us harden our architecture as we approach our final audit.

@shantelleawo @golemproject @arkivnetwork @ethereum Congrats!

super excited to share that I have joined @golemproject to help grow @arkivnetwork into the default database for teams building on @ethereum! one thing that has become increasingly clear to me is that as the industry matures, data infrastructure is becoming just as important as execution infrastructure. dApps are becoming more intelligent, real-time and data-heavy, which means the question is no longer just where transactions settle... but also where data lives, how it’s verified, and how developers can actually use it. looking forward to what’s ahead and happy to be back building ⚡️

@briwhoze Thank you!

@WPReadingClub So sick!!

@MadMagicSOL @BrianSeong haha took us 3 years :)

@BrianSeong @WPReadingClub huge w ditching google docs
