#Ethereum's global P2P network dream: 🫧 Efficient discovery 🫧 Stronger security The reality?? 🫣 💀 75%+ of attempts reach unrelated services 💀 Some poor nodes take dozens of probes per neighbor 💀 A few malicious nodes can slice the network like a birthday cake 🎂 Dr. Ren Zhang (@nirenzang) from our research team just showed how well this works at The Science of Blockchain Conference (SBC'25): sbc-conference.com/2025/ 🎥 Watch the talk: - Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=8XmuQR… - Bilibili: bilibili.com/video/BV1NX4Rz… 📄 Read the paper: eprint.iacr.org/2025/588 @NervosNetwork

We've been talking a lot about tech here — Scripts, VM, protocols, optimizations ... Love that! But builders aren't just commit histories. That's why we started CKB Builder Story, a small series about the people behind the protocols. 🧑‍💻✨ Our first story features Tea (@teaplusplus11), creator of Quantum Purse (@quantumpurse), the industry's first SPHINCS+-based quantum-resistant wallet. He has built across ecosystems: EOS, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and now CKB. Here he shares how he stumbled into CKB, why he decided to stay & build long-term, his appreciation for Proof of Work, and why good architecture + good people matter. #nervos #pow #BlockchainDev
