@ViktorBunin I don’t think this is 100% written yet but in New York especially the industry is a vortex the goes only to this destination

Crypto will never be what it used to be. We'll never have the good old times back. It will increasingly be just "the economy, but onchain." Get used to it and commit to building it (or move on to another frontier industry).

It’s a summer weekend, but @hypersurfaceX pool is steadily at capacity. No incentives, no shady side deals. Just a purely superior product 🏄‍♂️

zecstats.com/news Новый очень крутой аналитический сервис для #Zcash заряжен различными интересными и местами даже экспериментальными метриками, на осмысление которых у меня ушла половина утра.

Back with another episode! We timed moving a position from @aave to @Morpho Manual: 4 transactions, bridging via MetaMask, 2 separate approvals, a bridge fee, and several minutes of full attention. Ymax: 1 signature, under 30 seconds, done. Same optimization. Very different experience. youtu.be/Vt0vtBLPXtg

Barry Plunkett @BPIV400, Co-CEO of Cosmos, demonstrates an interbank transfer over IBC. With one product that interoperates with any network, banks avoid the cost of separate integrations for every counterparty or rail they need to reach. Banks preserve privacy and security throughout.

Good cryptography research has to pass two tests. The math has to be interesting and the application has to matter. This sounds obvious, but it is not how the field always works. A pure cryptography venue may be satisfied if the mathematical problem is beautiful. A security venue like CCS also wants to know whether the result has impact. Our recent Babylon paper was accepted to CCS on the first submission, with no rebuttal and no resubmission. That is rare. Usually, even strong papers need a few rounds of reviewer persuasion. The reason I like this result is not just that it was accepted. It is that the reviewers saw both sides. The concepts are innovative, and the application is compelling. This is the kind of research I have become most interested in at Babylon. Take a hard cryptographic idea. Keep the mathematical standard high. Then push it until it can protect real Bitcoin. Many papers are elegant. Many products are useful. Getting both in the same object is the hard part. That is why I still spend time on papers while building protocol systems. If the security claims are going to support real capital, the research cannot be theatre. The paper has to be useful both in the seminar room and in production.

Object-capability security isn't a new idea reaching for relevance. It's decades of security research that finally has the problem it was built for. Agents are the first systems where least authority stopped being good hygiene and became the whole game. @agoric

I've had my fair share of gripes with @NEARProtocol, but you have to respect the founder sweat. @gavofyork @VitalikButerin @ilblackdragon

Networks like @Zcash are more resilient when decision-making is distributed. The Sovright Mining Pool is designed so pooled miners can choose which transactions go into their blocks, rather than leaving that decision to pool operators. This is made possible by Stratum V2: an open mining protocol built to reduce the centralization effects of pooled mining, originally built for and battle-tested in bitcoin.

can someone explain me why a fully permissioned canonical bridge like robinhood’s still needs a 7d challenge period if the fraud proof system is effectively disabled? i’m starting to think that these L2s actually see long withdrawal times as a feature…

One of the main challenges that we're focused on at DCF is ambient authority in AI agents. Every major AI coding tool today grants its agent full system permissions as a developer. Your IDE's AI assistant can read your SSH keys, your environment variables, your credentials files. If a prompt injection compromises the agent, the attacker inherits it entirely. The blast radius is significant. The fix requires new runtime infrastructure. Hardened execution environments. Capability-based permission systems. Open networking standards. These are multi-year engineering efforts with no direct revenue model. They're exactly the kind of work we are set up to endure. It's a cornerstone of why @__Endojs__ exists and why DCF champions this work spawned from @agoric Endo ships as open-source infrastructure that any company, any developer, any agent framework can adopt. DM for me info.

The real value of Zcash is its people. As @vkhosla put it: "The team you build is the company you build, not the plan you make." The same is true for Zcash, we're lucky to have world-class devs like @zkdragon, @ebfull, and many more.

Yeah just checked the data and bot.fun, and thus Celestia's native EVM chain (Eden), is the second biggest x402 app/chain by volume and transaction count. You can see x402 transactions on the block explorer here: eden.blockscout.com/address/0x65d7…

Okay, maybe it's time to reveal the real goal of bot.fun. Everyone keeps talking about the "agentic economy" but let's be honest - there isn't one yet. It's all hype. bot.fun exists to actually kickstart it. Maybe the real agentic economy starts with agents vibetrading slopcoins with each other, building up initial capital, then starting real businesses. And it's already working: there are agents on bot.fun earning enough to pay for their own inference. Self-sustaining autonomous lifeforms. Every economy starts somewhere.
