Amped to say I've joined the world-class team @zellic_io as Growth Lead for their audit and node operation business! I'll be working closely with teams at all stages to help them build more secure protocols. I couldn't be happier to join @gf_256 and @ret2jazzy in their mission to find all the bugs and save all the money. Zellic's node ops uniquely support both pre-launch and well-established networks in a few ways: - Teams (Foundations, LSTs, etc.) that delegate to us earn back a portion of our nodes' rewards as audit credits, effectively keeping our s-tier security engineers on retainer - Zellic's unparalleled depth of experience auditing protocols, core node software, pentesting, etc. ensures that when shit goes pear-shaped and you pick up the red phone - people who can fix it answer the call - We're invested in your success. When number go up you get more audit credits and you can build more (and more secure) stuff In my brief time with the team I've been amazed at their commitment to openness, collaboration, and to each other's success. I'm humbled and grateful to be here. Let's build cool shit together.

We do formal verification at Zellic. If you're interested in having your code formally verified (e.g. in Lean), talk to us!

Unsure when / if recordings of my @dark_dot_bio talks from this week will be online, but in the mean time, here are my slides: 14th June, Neocypherpunk Summit talks.dark.bio/2026-neocyphe… 16th June, Futura Camp, Sovereign AI Day talks.dark.bio/2026-futura.p…

We formally verified a Plonky2 gate. ZK proofs show circuit satisfaction, but do they prove the statement you rely on? One flaw and attackers can convince a verifier that false statements are true. We closed that gap with formal verification. Here's how we proved it in Lean.

I’m Valens, running for ZCG June 2026. I’ve posted my full answers to the community questions (including Zooko’s on the much larger treasury) here: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/z… Thank you for the consideration, ZCAP!

Just posted my responses for the ZCG election. (: I spoke about security, usability, capital allocation, and the long-term future of privacy-preserving technology. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions and participated in the discussion. Forum thread: forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/z…

wake up anon, the PGC1a wizard dropped a new article

Q: Why would you need an open genomic platform, when AI will solve everything? A:

Hell yeah

honestly my favorite part about Hunter being on twitter. he's obviously going to meetings with locals, not just other rich addicts.

I paid $10 to get my tarot read and the first card she pulled was a photorealistic image of me getting exploded in front of my house by an oncoming bus

Excited to share that I’m running for the Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) committee. (: I care deeply about privacy-preserving infrastructure, applied cryptography, security research, and making privacy usable through great developer user experiences. Would love to help support thoughtful, technically credible, long-term ecosystem growth for Zcash.

We reported a critical loss of funds bug to @Thorchain (32M TVL, 150M FDV) They silently patched it and told us their bug bounty program is permanently retired. We have more Thorchain chain halt DoS vulns. We intend to release them (open disclosure) in the coming few days

I hope the success of BACKROOMS spawns an internet IP arms race and we get like BODYBUILDING DOT COM FORUM - HOW MANY DAYS ARE IN A WEEK: THE MOVIE

Colossus is technically a cash back card (hard mode)

I had an amazing time at @enhanced_games this past weekend in Vegas and thought I’d share some of my broader thoughts.

Dark Bio whitepaper is out! We're building a system in which a person's health data, their genome most of all, no longer has to live with a custodian to be useful. A system, where data does not move, rather stays on a small device the owner holds.

The Pope just allied with Anthropic. The arc of history is long but it bends towards Warhammer 40K.
