. @legend_maps - one of my favorite NFT projects and it was really sad when the game went on hiatus 3 years ago and the game servers eventually was shut down. I had some time on my hands these past weeks and decided to make use of those assets so they have a purpose once more.

I’ve been involved in most of Quantstamp’s audits for Polymarket. They take security seriously, care about code quality, and are willing to rethink design decisions when it matters. Always appreciated auditing their code 🫡

I love privacy solutions that aren't private and can also steal my funds at any time 🤣
Tempo
@tempoApr 16
Blockchains still broadcast every transaction publicly. Every stablecoin payment leaks the amount, the sender, and the recipient. We’re excited to share that Tempo is building Zones for businesses that need privacy: private blockchains that are interoperable with the rest of Tempo for stablecoin use cases like payroll, treasury, and settlement.

where were their comms teams 🥲 even the article is scathing
I was a fashion photographer for over a decade before crypto. I worked for magazines like @ELLEmagazine @marieclaire @Cosmopolitan and brands like @LouisVuitton @gucci and more. The Vanity Fair article was a setup to mock crypto and those it depicted.

seeing some pepos cry about this, so ig i will weigh in. people started to see the reality of what institutional capitalism meant for crypto, and it became abundantly clear that there are some issues that were causing a lot of cognitive dissonance. many collectively agree that the fractional reserve fiat central banking system is a fucked up system of control that overwhelmingly benefits a certain class of person to the rest of the world’s detriment. it erodes both personal and national sovereignty. we want to supplant wall street, but are being absorbed by it, and imho, the real danger is just this insidious chipping away at the shared ethos that brought the early adopters to the space in the first place. we went from let’s change the world and give a viable exit from the corrupt and fraudulent central banking system to salivating hard just to give sloppy toppy to the very banks that prop up central banking. im here for a (peaceful) revolution, and even if it means my bags don’t pump, i don’t want us degraded to the point where we are reduced to bankerman middleware and the dream of money by the people for the people is dead.
Today, the Foundation’s Board released the EF Mandate. This document, which was first intended for EF members, reaffirms the promise of Ethereum, and the role of EF within this ecosystem.

Ethereum needs privacy. Not as a luxury feature, but as a default. Otherwise, every transaction just feeds the surveillance machinery.

FOCIL (EIP-7805) was just SFI'd and is the CL headliner for the Hegota fork. This means Ethereum has decided to prioritize a feature that improves censorship resistance, gives better inclusion guarantees to its users, and strengthens its position as the most credibly neutral network to build on. In today's world, it's remarkable that the Ethereum community can stand behind protocol upgrades that reinforce core cypherpunk values. It's truly unique, and I'm proud to be working on a technical and social project that stands for freedom and equal access. It's of course a meaningful step, but it's also only the beginning. Now is the time to show that cypherpunks can ship. Let's bring FOCIL to mainnet.

🫡because security is also privacy, my signer Safe (0x5aFE...Da0 -> safe...dao :D) is fully funded via Tornado Cash. That means a Tornado-funded signer is now securing over $220M in assets. Next time someone claims Tornado Cash is "only used by criminals," show them this. Fucking proud to be part of the regenesis of TheDAO. LFG.
TheDAO is back. BULLISH A decade later, we’re opening a new chapter. TheDAO Security Fund: activating 75,000+ ETH to strengthen Ethereum security. thedao.fund/

my ideal L2 is an ASIC that is covertly embedded deep inside some extremely remote oil rig that lives on international waters and burns all of its sequencer fees. when it's discovered or goes offline, you just bridge back to L1
Replying to @ryanberckmans
what about designing L2s so that it’s just not possible to apply AML obligations

I was wrong: plus one yesterday. Crypto holders should keep a low profile. We’re already being targeted; let’s not make ourselves easy targets. leparisien.fr/yvelines-78/un…
Sad country, sad world. You don’t need to be rich to be a target. Over the past three days, France has seen three attempted kidnappings linked to crypto.
