NEW EPISODE - Zcash Names: ENS for Zcash
@ZcashNames founder James Joseph (@zcashme) joins @TrustlessState to break down how .zec usernames make shielded payments simpler without exposing your transaction history.
They dive into how ZNS compares to Ethereum's ENS, the technology behind private usernames, the remaining security tradeoffs, and whether the system could pass the Edward Snowden privacy test.

Been grinding the path to production together with @ZcashNames setting up their TEE. Had a lot of insights into privacy and the Zcash protocol. Read my in-depth blog post on the architecture and engineering challenges circuitlabs.io/blog/zcash-na…
Stoked to collaborate with @QuantusNetwork on their report and more. Catch my talk at their event q.day on June 6 @ns ⚛️
The crypto industry is on a collision course with quantum computing.
We just published a report on where it stands, what it does to crypto, and what the industry is and isn't doing.

No more cryptic traits! 🤩🥳 mega efforts and THE most useful Cairo resource on the planet!
𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 ✨
After 80, pull requests and 8,000 new lines of documentation, Cairo's Core Library is now fully documented 🎉
What this means for the @Starknet and @CairoLang developers:
• Better Dev Experience: Your IDE now shows you a comprehensive description when hovering your mouse over items imported from the Core library
• Enhanced AIs for Cairo: This exhaustive documentation is a goldmine for LLMs, which greatly benefit from the additional context to understand Cairo better and improve code generation capabilities.
• Easier Onboarding for New Developers: No more cryptic traits and functions whose APIs are hard to understand for newcomers.
The documentation provides all there is to know about how to properly use the content of the core library, along with examples and advices on how to properly write Cairo
This is a big step to making Cairo dev more accessible!
Folks what are you smoking? You can’t tell devs what to deploy apps on! Bring Telegram users to all chains that allow seamless interactions and smooth experience @Starknet @argentHQ 🫨
Telegram and $TON are going exclusive! 💕
All mini-apps on Telegram will now exclusively use TON as their blockchain infrastructure. All mini-apps that do not currently use TON should migrate by February 21, 2025. So let’s get on with it! 💎🚀
Also, TON Connect becomes the exclusive wallet integration protocol for all Telegram Mini Apps (except in bridging scenarios). To get things rolling TON Foundation is also offering TG Ads grants to help with the transition!

Fully agree. Sometimes stupidity and greed dominates this field and impacts it negatively way too much. At the same time, it’s hard to convince others that our version of freedom is the correct one

Happy BTC new ATH!
And at the same time we see the absolute extreme degeneracy happening with $TRUMP and all the shit.
It's interesting to see those extremes of the spectrum at the same time.
I apologise in advance but I will be midcurving in this tweet (some people will even say that I am coping).
We need Bitcoin maximalism more than ever. We need watchdogs on the core principles and ethos more than even, on Bitcoin, and on Ethereum.
Unfortunately it seems that many in the Ethereum community want to go towards the other side (the wrong one!) of the spectrum.
Solana is not the solution, it's on the contrary one of the symptom of the problem. It's the result of accumulating compromises that make you end up recreating the system you were fighitng against in the first place. You can say whatever you want, Solana is not and was never a solution that can change the world for the better, unlike Bitcoin (and to some extend Ethereum, as I am still hopeful it can succeed, because similar to Bitcoin, it stands out in terms of ethos and principles, clearly different from the rest of the crypto space).
There is no point in having a fast and cheap chain where there is no easy verifiability of execution. Verifiability matters yes. Don't get trapped by people saying it does not matter. It's actually the number one thing that matters.
Why are we even building all of this if it does not matter ?
Yes the rollup centric roadmap makes sense, even if in the current status there are obvious challenges in terms of overall UX and interop to make it completely seamless and feel that you are just using Ethereum.
But it is the solution, if you don't want to sacrifice the important properties that we want, security, decentralisation, censorship resistance, VERIFIABILITY of execution. Challenges and current pitfalls will be fixed. In fact, solutions for all of them are already known now and it's just a matter of time and implementation now.
Real time proving is around the corner, and it means interoperability and high composability will be fixed. It means that we don't have to sacrifice verifiability. ZK is the solution. STARK proofs in particular can bring this verifiability, integrity of computation, without compromises.
Bitcoin is the model and should be always the model. Bitcoin can and will change the world. Ethereum can play a role in this as well and help Bitcoin to achieve it. Bitcoin (and still Ethereum) must be protected at all cost.
If you advocate for Solana as a replacement / substitute of Bitcoin / Ethereum you represent a danger.
If you wish the failure of those you are a danger too.
Starknet (and other genuine ZK rollups solutions) will help building this Integrity Web for the people. I am extremely convenient that Starknet will provide the best execution engine for Ethereum and hopefully Bitcoin. A place to unleash computation without sacrificing verifiability.
We need more maximalism.
We need to remind ourselves why we are doing all of this.
Fix the money, fix the world.
Let's bring back sovereignty to the people using freedom technology.
I am a Freedom Tech maxi, and I want to contribute to help this tech change the world.
Just a small reminder: when you say “GM to my Starknet brothers” you say GM to men, you exclude a whole gender. It’s not fun to read. It’s brothers and sisters.
I’ve heard so many friends and colleagues being targeted by attackers on all platforms but posing as “hiring” lately especially… Let’s dive into how to stay safe and question *everything*!
Whaaaaaat!!! Beja our @Starknet fam! Soy super contenta que tu vas a juntar a nosotros 😊
Happy to share that I’m joining the @StarknetFndn Ecosystem Team!
Evangelizing @Starknet comes naturally, its industry-leading tech is built on groundbreaking mathematical innovations.
I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity—thank you, @henrlihenrli, for the trust to come onboard!
Excited to help push the space forward with such a talented team.
Building on Starknet? My DMs are open!
Told ya! Crypto X AI is gonna be through the roof 🚀
Introducing Starknet Agent Kit ✨
It's only a matter of time before UX changes forever and @Starknet is ready for it!
You can now use AI agents and execute tasks autonomously on Starknet.

Honestly one of the very few wallets I actually trust ♥️
Which web3 folks should I meet in Dubai? Arriving on Sunday 🌇☀️I can shill Starknet, autonomous agents, Zig, Bitcoin, and also just sit there and look pretty 😆
