.@kassandraETH@ncsgy and others have been working hard for nearly a year on Kohaku.
Kohaku's goal is to make two twin properties:
* Security (and trustlessness)
* Privacy (read and write)
a reality on the access layer.
Security and privacy on Ethereum must be normal.
I want to get a bit more public about the work we at the Kohaku Initiative inside the EF are doing
I notice there's hype but there's also confusion. Best way to clarify things is to speak candidly and openly about what I'm working on day-to-day

We are that good… yes, we mean the people behind Blockfuse Labs 😌
One “Happy Workers’ Day” isn’t enough.
To the engineers building.
The media team telling stories.
And everyone doing the unseen work.
This one is for you 🥂
Happy Workers' Day.

We have completed devnet-4 development and currently participating in the devnet-4 multi-client interop run.
Here are some of the notable implementations done for devnet-4
Post-quantum signatures are massive, threatening Bitcoin throughput.
What if we combined stateful efficiency with stateless safety?
Let's decrypt SHRINCS & SHRIMPS: new @Blockstream proposals for compact PQ signatures. 🧵👇
Happy birthday, @LuckifyT. 🎉
Your friendliness is not just a trait, it is a gift.
The way you show up with empathy and patience makes learning easier and building less intimidating for every builder around you.
That is what makes you not just an engineer, but a truly great teacher.
Wishing you more impact, more growth, and more lives changed.
With love from Blockfuse Labs ❤️

Standard RISC-V has 32 registers.
In hardware, spilling to cache is cheap.
In zkVMs, every memory operation is an expensive constraint to prove.
What happens if we hack LLVM to give RISC-V 1024 registers?
A breakdown of @leonardoalt's latest experiment. 🧵👇
as a beginner, I found folding schemes to be quite easy to learn in contrast to the original Halo construction which seemed more complex.
this led me down a rabbit hole
"from simple to complex and back again"

We’re entering a stabilization phase for leanSpec, which requires adding a large number of test vectors.
We’ve opened many good first issues (one per test) to enable parallel work.

SNARKs are critical for the lean Ethereum scaling roadmap.
But what if the cryptography securing rollups has a bug?
During @EthCC conference, @dhsorens broke down the Protocol Snarkification initiative. 🧵👇
Ethereum’s consensus faces a tough tradeoff: faster slots mean slower finality, and vice versa.
But what if we decouple them? A new post on EthResearch explores Decoupled Consensus using the Goldfish protocol.
Here is a breakdown of how it works. 🧵👇
We’ve added a good first issue to the leanSpec Python repo for new contributors to start working on this community effort:

Let us know if you’d like to contribute, we can add more similar tasks.
Today, several teams at the EF are launching pq.ethereum.org, a dedicated resource for Ethereum's post-quantum security effort.
What started with early STARK-based signature aggregation research in 2018 has grown into a coordinated, multi-team effort, all open source.
The Post-Quantum team and Cryptography teams, with help from the Protocol Architecture and Protocol Coordination teams, have been working on this body of work for 8 years.
At pq.ethereum.org you'll find:
- How PQ impacts each protocol layer
- The full PQ roadmap (strawmap.org)
- Open resources: repos, specs, papers, EIPs
- FAQ: 14 questions across 5 categories, written by the PQ team
- A 6-part lean Ethereum interview series (@zeroknowledgefm)
- Interest form for the 2nd Annual PQ Research Retreat (Cambridge, UK, Oct 2026)
- 10 client teams are already building and shipping devnets weekly through PQ Interop.
All the work is public and all of it is open.

Gean just started participating in its first devnet run.
Today we synced with devnet-3 alongside other lean consensus clients.
Here are some of the notable improvement and implementations tested in devnet-3
