Italy’s "Piracy Shield" forces providers to block content in under 30 minutes without judicial oversight, which leads to overblocking (taking down legitimate websites alongside infringing ones). We're appealing a €14M fine to protect the Internet from automated censorship and ensure infrastructure providers aren't forced to overblock. cfl.re/4cMh0WA

We're going after payments from first principles. Mobile-first signing. Fully private on-chain (thank you @penumbrazone). Easily allocate to DeFi yield. Pay and get paid in yielding assets. Deposit from @base or across the EVM ecosystem. With clearing via the Cycles Shielded Graph coming soon. The future of money is private and decentrally cleared. Cycles Pay is coming. A payments experience you couldn't even dream of.

This week, I resigned from my job at the Ethereum Foundation and will take a break from crypto for a while. This occasion gave me the chance to think about how crazy the last four years working in crypto have been. Here are my thoughts: leku.blog/posts/crypto.html

Props to the Malachite team. Great to see them get an amazing home with Circle, and to have Malachite powering such an impactful usecase.
Big milestone for Informal! Malachite is joining Circle to build Arc, a new Layer-1 for stablecoin finance. Proud to see our high-performance BFT consensus engine moving from incubation to real-world impact.

Quint girl (me) tries consensus for the first time and this is what happened!!!! 🤯 Mysticeti consensus was challenging to learn, and using Quint to understand it made all the difference. And as a result of my learning, the world gets a unambiguous executable spec of it 🔗👇

What if you could run an EVM smart contract network, but with sub-second finality, big blocks, and high throughput? We’ve been working on some experiments at Informal to enable running Ethereum smart contracts on top of our next-generation consensus protocol, Malachite.

Late last year, a mind-blowing whitepaper was released by @informalinc and co-authored by the likes of @buchmanster and @socrates1024 Cycles Protocol: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Clearing System I’ve been wrapping my head around it. Let’s explore “tldr style” 1/n 🧵

1/2 It's done. Malachite is open-source -- github.com/informalsystems/m… Give the repo a ⭐ and the Universe will reward you. Join the X space scheduled later today to discuss with top builders about Rust & decentralization. Link in the next tweet.
