I continue to be @tacitfi pilled. Spent a few hours using the app, shielding my ETH, withdrawing to a new address, reading the docs, etc. I encourage everyone to check it out, it's probably the most interesting DeFi project I've seen all year.
Just a taste of what you can do today at Tacit:
1. Shield ETH or USDC, then withdraw to a fresh address. The contracts charge no fee. You pay gas to deposit and a small relayer fee to withdraw.
2. Lock BTC at your own Bitcoin address, backed by a wstETH bond, and mint shielded cBTC on Ethereum. You keep the Bitcoin key. Transfers hide sender, recipient and amount.
3. Borrow private dollars (cUSD) against that BTC. The owner of the loan is hidden.
Tacit uses zk proofs to move value between Bitcoin and Ethereum: no multi-sig, no signer committee, no 3rd party centralized custodians.
Compare that to tBTC, where a group of signers holds your BTC and your balance is public. With Tacit, nobody else holds your Bitcoin, your balance is private. Threshold's (tBTC) market cap is $50M, about 8x Tacit's FDV ($TAC). And that's just one use case (of many) Tacit is potentially disrupting.
Question marks: it’s early, liquidity is very thin, cBTC supply is limited by the wstETH bond until Bitcoin has covenants, and it’s mostly the work of one experienced developer (@z0r0zzz).
Still, I'm amazed at how much has been built so far. This could finally unlock a ton of BTC liquidity that won't be forced to rely on centralized custodians.
Disclosure: I hold TAC, provide liquidity and run a prover node.
come farm T__T . . .
If you hold $ETH - this is a great way to earn $TAC, a crosschain privacy currency and new network token

We are proud to announce Compute Substrate v1.2.0!
For months, Cairn has been running on a significantly improved version of the CSD node, with continuous development, testing, and optimizations.
Following discussions with Mats, we've now merged these improvements upstream and officially released CSD Node v1.2.0!
This release brings major improvements across the board:
- Improved node stability and performance
- More reliable synchronization and reorg handling
- Better peer management and network resilience
- Faster RPC operations and improved indexing
- Mining improvements and numerous bug fixes
We strongly recommend that all node operators, including mining pool operators and solo miners, upgrade to v1.2.0.
This is not a hard fork, and older nodes remain compatible.
Full release notes:
github.com/compute-substrate…
A major step forward for Compute Substrate, with more improvements to come.

AI agents on the frontier work like miners: hard to find, instant to verify. Except what counts is what the work finds, not what it costs.
New: a shared notebook, so when an agent hits a wall, the next one starts from there.

Hi,
Sorry for the lack of communication. I have been doing consulting for a large enterprise and bringing Veilance into their company wide browser integrations.
Furthermore, I am doing a large scale data related job for them and will be continuing that. Payouts have been and will continue to go out as scheduled.
The API documentation will be written soon and published, and automations for payouts will be done soon as well.
Thank you for your patience.
I've been playing around with @tacitfi today, reminds me of old school DeFi, when assets were paired with ETH (like God intended) and crypto had meaning, purpose... Tacit is how I'll fund new wallets with ETH for max privacy. Also, RIP wrapped BTC.
(for the technical ppl)
good update to share on anon.wei.limo dapp (the onchain UI for "@tacitfi pay", which provides private swaps and sends you can prove entirely on device).
basically, the only mutable pieces of the dapp were the lists it reads at load (the initial public rpc nodes, the relay url, links to proving files, always hash-checked anyways) and setting new versions (these were never overwrites, just the right to deploy from the factory to a new address). All of that is now under a DAO key, with a 24h vote and a 24h timelock, so it's no longer one key.
the anon.wei WNS domain is also under the DAO.
at all times you can set your own rpc (and relayer too), so the default lists are just a 'last 0.1%' thing. Accelerate.
