HOW TO FIX YOUR ENTIRE LIFE IN 1 DAY

Nobody wants to admit this part but one of the biggest reasons onchain apps still struggle to reach mainstream users is that gas fees make everything harder than it needs to be. Every activity has a cost and suddenly a “simple” app feels stressful to use. This is the problem @StatusL2 is designed to solve. Status Network is an Ethereum Layer 2 designed for one thing: To make apps feel normal to use, especially social apps and games. It’s the first ever natively gasless L2 on Ethereum. What does “gasless” actually mean? It means that users can send transactions without paying fees, developers don’t have to design around fees, and users don’t need to think about them at all. @StatusL2 runs on Linea’s zkEVM stack, whereby keeping Ethereum-level security while delivering fast, high-performance execution. Although gas pays for security, @StatusL2 funds itself differently. Instead of charging users gas, the network earns native yield and also earns fees from native apps, starting with a DEX. This revenue keeps the network running and funds builders. So the system stays sustainable without pushing its costs to users. Aside from keeping the L2 running, the revenue also flows into apps funding pool, governed by token holders, that continuously fund onchain builders and public goods. @StatusL2 also prevents spams by using Rate-Limiting Nullifiers (RLNs) to fairly allocate free transactions per user and protect the network from abuse. This means every user gets a fair, equal allowance of gasless transactions within a given time window. And it doesn’t exist in isolation. @StatusL2 is deeply integrated with the IFT stack: @ethstatus, @Keycard_, @Waku_org, and @Codex_storage, making it part of a larger, coherent ecosystem.

Daily reminder: Santa isn’t the only one watching 👀

when building private systems, if a god mode view exists, it will eventually be used we need to make trust systemic, and privacy should be considered the base for structural fairness great talk by @AgataJFerreira

tired of seeing this on the timeline, so here's a screenshot straight from the last Linea Consortium board meeting internal presentation as you can see the Linea team has literally 0 token allocated to them the Linea Consortium has 4% of the total supply to bootstrap the organization (that is going to pay for the core development of the Linea stack the actual L2 operation) an additional 4% has been allocated for liquidity provision to centralized exchanges to the last liquidity incentive program before native yield gets launched on mainnet the Linea Consortium is formed by diverse entities (SBET, Eigen, Status, more coming soon), with only 1 seat for Consensys. so no, the Linea team doesn't have access to any token directly, only the Consortium board can decide on the allocations btw, i was involved in the negotiations leading up to the latest announcement by SBET to start deploying their ETH reserve on Linea - and i made sure to include a clause in the contract that ultimately this ETH TVL will be used productively in the Linea DeFi ecosystem and be aligned with the LINEA token the reason i'm telling you this is to share a bit more transparently what's going on behind the scene: we are multiple companies working very hard on making the Linea ecosystem succeed, and all of those organizations may have divergent opinions and strategies to get there, hence the Consortium is definitely not managed by a centralized Linea team, but is here to find what's best for the Linea ecosystem, the Linea stack, and the LINEA token and its holders as mentioned multiple times already, the only tokens held by the Linea team has been bought at market post TGE. i'm not in the Linea team, but have been deeply involved in the ecosystem for the last 2 years (@StatusL2 runs on the Linea stack), and the only LINEA tokens i personally own i bought them post TGE as well - i actually provided concentrated liquidity on Etherex right before Oct 10 - and got immediately rekt lol. i don't plan on selling it as i believe that Linea is undervalued (i mean SWIFT? SBET?? native yield? burn?? all of these seemed overlooked to me as everyone jumps to the latest hot stuff) if you read this far, you deserve to get some alpha: - burn starts very soon (before devconnect is my guess - potentially as early as next week) - native yield is nearly done (hopefully live in december, pending audits) - the native yield will be immediately put to good use as community incentives - so not using LINEA tokens as rewards anymore, but pure ETH and mUSD - the Consortium will soon have a website up with more info on the by-laws resolutions content about latest board meetings and strategic directions - we're currently hiring for an Executive Director for the Consortium - if you know someone who might be a good fit, please reach out! i'm personally determined to push transparency forward and as a fellow b̶a̶g̶h̶o̶l̶d̶e̶r̶ member of the community i will do my best to bring as much utility to the LINEA token as possible believe in something 🫡

Super excited seeing @Keycard_ coming down the assembly line!

We, the Ethereum Cypherpunks, act on principles. We fucking care about privacy. We fucking care about security. We fucking care about censorship resistance. And we will always fucking defend these core principles. I wrote the Ethereum Cypherpunk Manifesto because this shit matters. If you're butthurt, go touch some grass and get a reality check. We, the Ethereum Cypherpunks, stand united in our pursuit of a more private, secure, and censorship-resistant future. Like it or not. hackmd.io/@pcaversaccio/the-…

To be clear:
 ERC4337 is not Account Abstraction but an early-stage relayer technology. While I appreciate the push from the team behind it, a lot of confusion is currently spread by 4337 enthusiasts. 
A 🧵on why we shouldn't think of 4337 as AA, but as a transaction relayer

They'll be back. The era of centralized exchanges, banks, and censorship is coming to an end. We are at the beginning of the journey. Again. But we have an army of like-minded people behind us. #wearestatus @ethstatus @binance
