Bonjour

Some of my perspective on where the @ethereumfndn is going. First of all, this is only my own view. The board is not just me, and I have no extra special powers on the board that the other board members do not. @aerugoettinea is the one executing much of this transition. My input has been largely on technical questions. The board is in the process of expanding, and my own power within the org will continue to decrease, which is honestly what I want. The 2025 era brought many important improvements to EF and its ability to execute. Many issues were resolved, and EF continues to benefit from its improved efficiency and greater focus on concrete goals to this day. And so with those problems resolved, early this year, the largest remaining hole that I perceived was something different nagging at me: I would regularly spot people saying things like "vitalik says these beautiful things about ethereum needing to be decentralized, and have privacy, and be a sanctuary technology, but why do the EF's actions not reflect that?" Now, you may have been hearing something different. You may not have been sensing a feeling of crisis at all, and maybe were hearing people saying that finally we were taking execution and BD seriously and the main task for us is to keep going that way and be even better and faster. Then probably there is genuine difference between you and me, in what kinds of criticism I take most seriously, and what kinds of critics through their criticism are most able to make me feel pain. As an analogy, let's briefly switch over to a different domain. One belief you can have about Google is that it is a success story, and has brought a lot of good to humanity in organizing the world's information. Another belief you can have about Google is that they had a beautiful idealistic beginning, but at some point the corruption of mainstream corporate attitudes seeped in, and they slowly bit by bit completely abandoned the "don't be evil" slogan. My belief on Google specifically is probably somewhere between the two. BUT, if you had taken me back in time to ~2008, and offered me a button to press to make Google one or two standard deviations more "dogmatic", eg. give Richard Stallman permanent veto power over some key policies, I would immediately press it. Why? Because a choice for one company is not a choice for the world, or even one country. Google existed and exists in the context of a technology industry generally drifting away from early idealistic don't-be-evil roots and toward greed for financial gain, totalizing visions of accelerated superintelligence, infiltration by sociopaths, and craven capitulation to (or worse, active participation in) government pressure for ideological control, surveillance and war. And so *one company* doing something different, positioning itself to be what George Bernard Shaw calls the Unreasonable Man, resisting the trend of the times, would have been better for freedom, balance of power and stability of society as a whole, than *all* large companies bending to dominant trends. This is a part of my version of pluralism. This line of thinking is not just mine, but I also is not too far off from what Aya and others had in mind with the Mandate. Now how does this all get to the role of the EF? EF is not a "center of Ethereum", rather EF is "one node, with a defined purpose, alongside other nodes". We've always said that the EF should be the latter, but many in the Ethereum ecosystem (and even within the EF) wanted us to be the former. Now, we are taking action to ensure that we will be the latter. This is particularly important because EF is a limited organization, with limited resources and limited organizational capacity. The EF has only ~0.16% of all ETH (less than many other individual ETH holders), whereas among other blockchains it's common for "the central foundation" to have 10-50%. Fiscally, the EF was originally designed to fulfill a limited work scope defined in the token sale docs and other pre-launch materials (building the chain software; getting through Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, Serenity), which was fully completed in 2022; it was not designed to be an eternal steward. And so today, the EF is choosing to use its remaining resources to pursue longevity over breadth (yes, this means we sell less ETH). The EF focuses *specifically* on those activities critical to the success of ethereum as a censorship/capture-resistant, open, private and secure system, that would not happen otherwise. This means making hard choices, and in some cases even activities that we highly approve of and people that we highly respect becoming outside of the EF. People of great technical talent, public respect and even alignment with the mission and CROPS being outside of the EF is in fact necessary if we want important tasks to be able to attract outside capital. This also means the EF taking opinionated stands culturally. This is all intended in cooperation with all other parts of ethereum. We recognize that many other parts of the ethereum world highly respect CROPS and related values. But highly respecting is not the same as choosing to specialize and totally dedicate to a domain (Compare in a different domain: I think reducing animal cruelty is important, and I like vegan food, but am not full unconditional vegan myself) EF is still in a transition period, and we expect its new long-term form to stabilize over the next few months. What are the guiding principles of this new form? Again, I am only one person, but I can give my answer from a technical perspective (there are also critical non-technical aspects). At the core, *Ethereum must be impressive*. We are living in an age of highly intelligent AI and all kinds of other technological acceleration. "Status quo EVM, with a hard fork or two a year to optimize for short-term needs of users" is not interesting. To some, "impressive" means: 250ms latency and 1M TPS. I think Ethereum trying to go that route is a mistake. Being as fast and as scalable as possible, and only a small epsilon more decentralized than the others, is a route to mediocrity, and if we try it we will lose. I think Ethereum should scale. But I think Ethereum should strive the hardest to be deeply impressive in a different dimension: the CROPS dimension. This means things like: * Provably bug-free Ethereum. This is a goal that all cybersecurity researchers would have thought is absurd and impossible, up until roughly 6 months ago. Now, it's on the cusp of being possible, thanks to AI-assisted formal verification. So we should be frontrunners in doing this. * Available chain consensus. Ethereum is, and with lean consensus will cotninue to be, the ONLY chain that has both (i) traditional-BFT style properties that it's safe under asynchrony up to a high level of fault tolerance, and (ii) the bitcoin PoW-style property that under synchrony it's safe up to 49% attackers. As far as I can tell, literally no other chain has this or is planning for it; bitcoin goes for (ii) only and most other chains go for (i) only. Some will remember I fought hard for this, Unreasonably insisting that it is not OK for ethereum to rely on social consensus and hard forks to rescue ethereum from 34% of nodes going offline. It's OK for chains like hyperledger, bnb, solana, tempo, etc. It's not OK for bitcoin or ethereum or eg. zcash. * Intermediary minimization. The fact that smart contract wallets, protocols like railgun, etc have to send transactions through intermediaries to get included onchain is honestly embarrassing, and it's a constant point of fragility. Hence the work on FOCIL and EIP-8141 (and 7701 and years of work before) to make transaction sending intermediary-minimized with public mempool and strong inclusion properties, in a truly general-purpose way, that covers not just eg. secp256r1, but also privacy protocols and much more. Kohaku is pushing intermediary minimization at the user layer, pulling Ethereum away from the dystopian status quo world where our wallets don't even verify the chain, send our private data out to a dozen third-party servers, and toward a brighter CROPS future. Some of these goals are Unreasonable - maybe Ethereum would be "fine" getting only 50% of the way - what if we depend on intermediaries, but make it easy to switch? But going 50% of the way would not make Ethereum Deeply Impressive in the CROPS way. So we push for 100%. Fortunately all these goals are compatible with high TPS, this is a major focus of research (esp. on scaling the state). Well-designed L2s can also help, especially L2s optimized for specific applications (eg. high-volume trading, privacy...). These goals are even compatible with significantly lower slot times, thanks to Raul's work on erasure-coded P2P, and many other optimizations. The most high-value "product" of the ethereum blockchain, financially speaking, is ETH the asset. Ethereum secures $250 billion of ETH. The types of properties of Ethereum that I mentioned above are very good for ETH the asset. Nearly 90% of my net worth is in ETH, and most of the remainder is ~$40m of onchain fiat of which every dollar has already been allocated for some open-source biotech or software or hardware initiative. That said, there are aspects of supporting ETH the asset - *necessary* aspects even - that are outside the scope of the EF. This is where we need other heroes (some of whom hold more ETH than the EF does) to step in and help. EF has been recently thinking more about how it will relate to other such organizations, and give them needed initial support. EF will be a smaller ship than in previous years, a more opinionated one - in some cases more opinionated in ways that might be difficult to comprehend - but a longer-lasting one, and one suited to making sure that ethereum brings something meaningful to the world. We are grateful to all those inside and outside the EF who are helping to make this happen.

Did you know Pikachu has a surprisingly consistent “language” in the anime and fans have decoded what many of his “Pika” variations actually mean? • “Pikapi” = Ash • “Pikachu-Pi” = Misty • “Pika-Chu” = Brock or Axew • “Pikaka” = Dawn • “PiPiPi” = Togepi • “PikakaPika” = Bulbasaur • “PikaPika” = Squirtle and several other Pokémon • “PiPi-kachu” = Team Rocket • “Pi-Pikachu” = Victory cheer (“I did it!”) said after winning badges, catching Pokémon, etc. • “Pika-Pikachu” = Referring to or introducing itself • “Chaa” = Happy/excited sound or yawning • “Pika!” = “Wait!” • “Pi-kaPika” = “Goodbye” • “Piiika-Chuuuuuu!” = Thunderbolt • Other move calls like “Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika, Chuuu Pii!” for Electro Ball are also consistent Ikue Ōtani has voiced Pikachu for 25 years and has kept these exact speech patterns remarkably consistent across thousands of episodes. Note: While these patterns are very consistent and repeatable in the anime, this is not an officially confirmed full language by Game Freak or The Pokémon Company. Team Rocket once called it “Pika-speak” in a single episode, but these meanings are fan-decoded interpretations based on context and repetition rather than official canon.

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1: Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight? Me: Yes they're done. Partner: Why are they still dirty? Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

Bybit, as the biggest holder and supporter of Mantle, will vote YES for this proposal. When we got hacked the industry got together and helped us. It is the only right thing that we do the same to unit together and walk out from difficult times.

Ini Ibam, bicara sendiri agar Ririe terlindungi. Betul, ketika belum jadi tersangka, saya dapat ancaman: buat pernyataan "mengarah ke atas" kalau tidak kasusnya "akan diperluas". Saya tolak, ngga mau bohong & zalim. Tiga minggu kemudian, saya jadi tersangka. Saya tolak bukan untuk lindungi Nadiem, tapi karena memang ngga pernah ada arahan dari Nadiem ke saya agar pengadaannya jadi Chromebook semua. Seperti yang terungkap dari 22x sidang, tidak ada sama sekali arahan dari atas seperti itu. Saya hanya diminta memberi masukan netral dan objektif sebagai konsultan. Artinya, ketika menerima ancaman tersebut saya dihadapkan ke dua pilihan: Berbohong mengarang cerita menuduh orang lain untuk menyelamatkan diri sendiri. Atau, berpegang kepada integritas, kejujuran, dan kebenaran yang saya yakini, dan menolak untuk berbohong. Dengan shalat istikharah dan kesadaran penuh akan risikonya, saya memilih jalan yang kedua: kejujuran. Insya Allah selalu berpegang pada kejujuran akan berujung pada kebaikan untuk saya, Ririe, dan keluarga kecil kami. Kalau tidak di dunia, maka di akhirat kelak. Lalu jawabannya apa ketika saya menolak untuk berbohong? "Oke, kami perluas.” Saya tidak berdaya. Ya Allah, apa lagi yang bisa kami lakukan ketika dihadapkan pada pilihan seperti itu? Pegangan kami hanya prinsip integritas dan kejujuran. Ketika konsekuensinya beberapa minggu kemudian saya dinyatakan tersangka, kami hanya bisa memperbanyak istighfar dan ikhtiar. Kami jalani dan hormati proses hukum yang ada dengan tabah, kami berniat jelaskan di persidangan fakta-fakta yang membuat terang, kami masih percaya dengan hukum Indonesia. Mungkin ngga banyak yang tahu, tapi Ririe istri saya adalah seorang sarjana dan magister hukum. Di Belanda dulu kami banting tulang nabung dan berhemat banyak, supaya bisa bayar uang kuliah S2 Ririe. Dari Ririe, saya belajar banyak tentang hukum Indonesia, apa saja yang mungkin terjadi, dan bagaimana hukum kita tetap memungkinkan pembelaan yang efektif. Baik, mari berjuang di persidangan, luruskan seluruh tuduhan. Satu persatu fakta di persidangan muncul dengan terang benderang, satu persatu tuduhan bisa kami bantah. Sampai akhir rangkaian sidang, 57 orang saksi dihadirkan, tidak ada bukti saya menerima keuntungan dari perkara ini, tidak ada bukti masukan saya karena konflik kepentingan, tidak ada bukti saya mengarahkan. Yang terungkap malah saya sebagai konsultan sudah menyarankan Chromebook diuji dulu, pejabat menolak pengujian dan memutus Chromebook, nama saya dicatut di SK, masukan saya dipelintir. Kami merasa pembelaan hukum kami sudah maksimal, kebenaran sudah terungkap, tinggal menumpu harapan pada keadilan dan kebijaksanaan dari majelis hakim yang mulia, yang kami merasa sudah sangat objektif dan penuh kearifan sepanjang persidangan. Namun, ketika JPU menyebutkan tuntutan 15 tahun penjara, denda Rp1 miliar, uang pengganti Rp16,9 miliar subsider 7,5 tahun penjara tambahan... Ini titik kezaliman yang sangat terang benderang, tekanan kepentingan yang sangat kentara, saya memutuskan pembelaan saya tidak lagi bisa hanya di persidangan. Besok saya akan sidang pembelaan (pleidoi) dan kami bersurat kepada Presiden @prabowo Subianto serta @KomisiIII DPR, untuk memohon perlindungan hukum dari kriminalisasi, ketidakadilan, intimidasi, serta pengkambinghitaman yang sudah sekentara ini. Kami takut untuk bicara? Takut ada intimidasi lain? Itu risiko yang jelas, tapi kami tidak gentar. Tuntutan 22,5 tahun dan belasan miliar yang tidak mampu kami bayar mungkin dianggap akan membuat kami terdiam, tapi kami malah semakin berani untuk melawan kriminalisasi ini. Mohon bantuan, dukungan, dan perlindungannya dari masyarakat Indonesia, dari pekerja kreatif dan pekerja pengetahuan, serta dari semua yang ingin bantu negara atau takut dizalimi negara. Kami berjuang bukan untuk kami sendiri, tapi agar tidak ada lagi kriminalisasi dan ketakutan bagi mereka yang tulus mau bantu Indonesia. Kami masih percaya Indonesia bisa menjaga dan menghadirkan keadilan dalam kasus kami.

if DeFi really wants to be here to stay, then it needs to start acting like adults. get certified, review SOP, set up governance, maintain access control. basically do the boring stuff. decentralization doesn’t mean no standards. it means higher ones. chainlink getting SOC (banking standard) & ISO 27001 is a good example. similar to what @usenobi went through for its CEX operations. it was boring, but you learn a lot from it. other oracles, other DeFi… probably heading there too.

suka marah marahin agent kamu? i did that in the past. terus aku sadar, dia malah jadi yes man. kurang inisiatif. cenderung pasif, nggak berani jalan sendiri. ternyata confirmed. di anthropic ada yang fokus di psikologi claude, amanda askell. dia bilang, perlakukan AI agent kamu dengan hormat… and it will do better in life.

Razzle-dazzling everyday

Didn't see this coming. Even manga lovers are impacted by AI.

NEWS: @Bybit_Official, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has detected and blocked coordinated fake deposit attacks across multiple blockchains, preventing over $1B in potential DOT losses with no user funds affected. The attacks used batch and multi-step transaction tricks to simulate deposits, but were identified and neutralized in real time through advanced multi-layer validation systems.

OpenClaw is amazing until it does something funny like alter its own config file because you asked to try the new dream mode and then it can’t restart because of invalid config with the wrong version. This happened to me yesterday morning. I had to go ssh in with Claude Code to get it fixed. But the sheer fact all of these can happen shows you we are at Apple I stage: assemble your own motherboard stage. But the Apple II personal computer moment (where anyone can go to the store and buy a PC and it works) is coming for OpenClaw We are so early and this is the worst it will ever be

Seperti member Celfit yang ngeluh ga pernah bisa join kelas gym-nya kepenuhan. Yeah, something like that.
