New w. @AlexeiByerly on the evolution of the cryptocurrency ecosystem as defined by schismatic forking, codebase replication, and L1-L2 consolidation (thx to support from @TempletonWorld) --> codebase origins are likely to determine future merge patterns! bit.ly/CryptoEvo

Truly peer-to-peer access to inference compute for AI agents, with zero aggregator intermediation fees and cool privacy affordances if agents use @AntSeedAI to procure DIEM to use @AskVenice hackernoon.com/antseed-just-…

@IncompleteRules of @UWyonews presented several papers on in relation to privacy as constitutional capacity papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/… ⚖️

Always a pleasure to speak at a favorite event, @StanfordLaw Blockchain Governance Summit hosted by @jeff_strnad - I talked about the institutional privacy dilemma (w. @CossarSofia), Opacity as Constitutional Capacity (w. F. Carugati) and my own work on Digital Constitutionalism

Stoked to have my latest pre-print featured by @SSRN - on (constitutional) means of ensuring commitment credibility in the increasingly prevalent context of networked coordination

New from @CossarSofia and I: how emergent tech like ZKPs & E2EE affects the privacy the govt will provide given the "institutional privacy dilemma" - govts are unlikely to supply privacy sufficiently because these rights cut against enforcement priorities bit.ly/PrivacyZKPsEncryption

“distributed network governance creates dynamic fidelity, …whereby…distribution of protocol update authority among independent classes of actors (validators, developers, users, [etc.]) produces emergent checks & balances analogous to constitutional separation of powers”

A new piece from me on why distributed network architectures are increasingly valuable for ensuring commitment credibility (↓ counterparty risk) and better protecting rights in digitally-intermediated contexts! bit.ly/DigitalConstitutional…

Privacy vs. Enforcement isn't a zero-sum game. ⚡️🔐 @IncompleteRules discusses how Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) can tame the privacy dilemma. Imagine a world where you can prove compliance or solvency without revealing your entire balance sheet or identity. We’re moving toward a "middle ground" that preserves individual autonomy while satisfying legitimate audit needs. 🔱📡 Catch the breakdown from #ETHBoulder on ZK-tech as a bellweather for state capacity:

Doing the @gov_futures pod with @Jamilya_eth has definitely been a highlight of this year It's so nice to see the amazing folks who were willing to jam with us on governance! Much ♥️ to @IncompleteRules @angela_walch @ElinorRennie James and Dani from @AriJuels's Lab @DennisonBertram @rafathebuilder @theshelb_ @A_Leutenegger @spengrah @0xNN2 @noturhandle_ @matrzeszowski @raamcc @pujaohlhaver @TariQuin @MCooperResearch. Chatting with all of you has been wonderful. Still a few more eps to go this season :) Also, thanks to our editors (Hridesh for starting us off and @IkigaiMediaa) and to @Scroll_ZKP for sponsoring it. Excited to see where we go from here! Oh, and come hang around DevConnect 🇦🇷

A session with @IncompleteRules and @pujaohlhaver on markets and democracy.

Killswitch protocols are an increasingly essential design component within complex human-engineered systems. In a survey of their history, design & inevitable shortcomings @incompleterules @sethkillian & @garrette0x derive generalizable design principles. bit.ly/4e3ZcUO
