A sequencer with unilateral ordering can quietly exclude users. In an ideal world, there would be no censorship at all. But for now, the least we can do is offer alternate submission routes that bypass censoring operators... 👀 blog.chainsafe.io/what-could-go-…

Cohort 3 of the Decentralized Nodes Program is live! We’re proudly running two validators, supporting @Polkadot, @Web3foundation, @paritytech and the community of operators building resilience together! Links in 🧵 👇

Sequencers keep most L2s running, but their designs aren't monolithic. The way they're designed determines what types of failures you should expect. That's why it's important to map failures early and build around the ones you're willing to accept. blog.chainsafe.io/what-could-go-…

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk. The malicious payload works…

Running validators for a Bitcoin middleware network wasn’t something I expected this year. But @Torram_xyz is pushing Bitcoin infra in a direction that finally includes builders. Excited to see where this goes!

If you're not a Rust fan, you should be! this sort of effort helps me run @Filecoin nodes in my homelab on consumer hardware 🤓

All ChainSafe nodes have now been migrated from MEV-Boost to @Commit_Boost ‼️ Why the move? Commit-Boost lets us monitor validator performance in real time with @PrometheusIO + its modular design makes it ready for upgrades like pre-confirmations = less friction as @ethereum…

Running a @monad testnet-2 validator with @ChainSafeth has been a blast. btw it isn't just fast - this is scalable and accessible decentralization. Nothing sharpens our infra like dancing with a spicy testnet 🔥🧪⚙️

This week I released filecoin-requests-builder - a tool that generates real JSON-RPC request payloads from the current @Filecoin chain state. Useful for benchmarks, tests, and keeping docs accurate. Built it because I needed it. Maybe you do too. 🧵 👉 github.com/ChainSafe/file…

We support EIP-7732 (EPBS) 😤 Simply put, EPBS improves how @ethereum utilizes the slot and ensures timeliness of the blockchain data required for optimal liveness. For users, that means a more stable, more resilient network. Read more in our @lodestar_eth blog outlining our…

Decentralization is not a silver bullet. It resists censorship, but also resists coordination, moderation, and trust at scale. Without strong incentive design or fallback mechanisms, it can backfire - not by enabling censorship, but by failing to prevent abuse or misinformation.
