What are we doing? How are we in a situation where we invented silicon solar cells, China is building them so quickly that coal use is down despite skyrocketing demand, and we're turning *back* to coal? This is sabotage.

🔭 New research from @fabric_ethereum 🔭 Introducing SCOPE: the Synchronous Composability Protocol for Ethereum. It’s about healing fragmentation by creating an accounting framework for synchronous cross-chain calls.

Agree with Mark. Increasing the gas limit is great, especially if it comes at zero cost as hardware improves. But slow time to finality is more important to fix to improve L2 UX, especially for onboarding and interop.

Strong support for the L2 / differentiated blockspace thesis. Building apps on Solana -> building app-specific blockspace w/ centralized sequencers. Because it's a better experience. IMO this is why the REV argument for Solana is wrong. L2s do divert fees and MEV from the L1.…

This is why Im more bullish on the @ziskvm team than any other. Its not benchmarks or marketing. It's the people. Their convictions and how they would never be sellouts and make money at the cost of compromising privacy, security or Ethereum values These are the builders we need

This looks like a cool project, built on the Mersenne-31 work from Polygon Zero and Circle-STARKs from Polygon Zero and Starkware. zkVM acceleration benefits everyone in the space, and I'm excited to see this develop. Congrats to the team!

Finally, this is great news. The best person to run a startup is its founder. Over the past few years, Polygon has led the industry in ZK R&D with plonky2 and plonky3 (I'm biased as this is my and @dlubarov 's team 😁) But Polygon's real strength, its DNA, is in taking products…

Not sure I disagree, but a critical difference between tokens and public equities is that there are transparency rules for equities. Eliminate vesting - but only if all insiders must give advance notice if they sell more than $50k in a 3 month period (Rule 144, Rule 4), adopt…

A core part of the Agglayer thesis is that general-purpose chains don't make sense. Without the Agglayer, chains need to build their own network effects (users, devs, liquidity). They need to be neutral and unopinionated to attract devs. This is bad! Bootstrapping liquidity is…
