I built malcom a tool for speeding up state sync for cosmos nodes. Here is my attempt at writing about it zrbecker.substack.com/p/fast…

We are very happy that today Apple issued a patch and a security advisory. This comes following @404mediaco reporting that the FBI accessed Signal message notification content via iOS despite the app being deleted. Apple’s advisory confirmed that the bugs that allowed this to happen have been fixed in the latest iOS release. You can read more here: support.apple.com/en-us/1270… Note that no action is needed for this fix to protect Signal users on iOS. Once you install the patch, all inadvertently-preserved notifications will be deleted and no forthcoming notifications will be preserved for deleted applications. We’re grateful to Apple for the quick action here, and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue. It takes an ecosystem to preserve the fundamental human right to private communication.

Hello, I was unfortunately laid off last week and am looking for a new engineering position in the blockchain (and adjacent) space. If anyone is hiring, please DM 🫡

Can we all just finally agree to collectively stop using us-east-1

Snapchain is now live! It's a blockchain designed for social networks and is capable of reaching over 9,000 TPS. Snapchain powers the @farcaster_xyz network. Over 100,000 users and dozens of apps have used it already.

Let's all be clear on one thing. @GaryGensler is evil. He should never again have a position of influence, power, or consequence. Any company, university, or organization that hires or works with him post-SEC is betraying the crypto industry and should be boycotted aggressively. This the only way to prevent this kind of misuse of government power from happening again in the future. Gensler’s behavior can't be explained away as a good faith mistakes. It was entirely thought out, intentional, and purposeful to fulfill his personal, political agenda at any cost. Even if this meant nuking an industry, tens of thousands of jobs, people’s livelihoods, billions of invested capital, and more. Ironically, his sociopathic ambition ended up torching his own political party. No amount of apology can undo the damage he has done to our industry and our country. This type of person has no place at any institution, big or small. Americans have had enough of their tax dollars going towards a government that is supposed to protect them, but instead is wielded against them by politicians looking to advance their careers. It's time for this pathology to be stopped once and for all. Onward!

Our latest poll shows that 5% of all voters (all voters!) consider themselves single-issue crypto voters, putting to rest ongoing questions about whether the crypto industry has astroturfed its power this election cycle. 1/7

If you haven't decided yet who to vote for, here's why I think you should vote for Harris.

Tessellated is pleased to be a launch partner to @AstriaOrg and to launch mainnet. Crypto is filled with centralized sequencers & promises of decentralization in the future. We’re proud to be partnered with a team who is building real decentralized solutions today.

gmonad As we prepare for Monad's upcoming launch, we're excited to announce the Monad MEV Research Group and invite the community to join us in researching ecosystem-aligned MEV solutions for Nad Nation

The @renzoai Twitter account has been compromised! DO NOT click on any links, the team is working with @Support @engineering!

Dear Cosmos, We just posted our (first) Hub proposal to add EIP-1559, via the Block SDK. Cosmos desperately needs a better fee market, as shown by the events today. This is a pro-bono proposal, and we hope we can serve our ecosystem 🫡 mintscan.io/cosmos/proposals…

IBC.fun now supports ✨ $TIA ✨ one-click swaps and transfers anywhere it's available in Cosmos! For all @CelestiaOrg enjoyooors, IBC.fun is a no-fee way that abstracts away Cosmos bridging into a simple UX 🔀

Tesellated is live on Celestia! If you're sitting on a significant amount of $TIA and want to support a smaller, security conscious validator, feel free to send a DM to me or @tessellated_io and we can figure out how to make it worth your while.

We’re now ~5% of the network as other large validators have moved into the top of the set. We don’t plan on self delegating more short term, and assume we’ll soon be closer to a reasonable amount of stake in a single entity.

This has to be a bottom signal

The new airpods feature where they turn down the music while you're talking (presumably to another human) has served solely to make me extremely aware of how much I talk to myself while coding

1/5 @Stride_Zone and @SkipProtocol are teaming up! Skip's IBC tech will make it much easier for users to interact with Stride. Imagine selling all STRD rewards with a single click. Imagine liquid staking becoming even more convenient. Here's what we have in store 🧵
