30 year old me trying to start dancing on TikTok because crypto didn’t work out

New technology never reduces the amount of work It raises expectations

New on our Frontier Red Team blog: We tested whether AIs can exploit blockchain smart contracts. In simulated testing, AI agents found $4.6M in exploits. The research (with @MATSprogram and the Anthropic Fellows program) also developed a new benchmark: red.anthropic.com/2025/smart…

🚨Text Leaderboard Update @xAI’s Grok 4.1 (thinking) and Grok 4.1 have scaled new heights in the most competitive Text Arena: 🔹Grok 4.1 (thinking) lands at #1 with a score of 1483 🔹Grok 4.1 follows at #2 with a score of 1465 On the Arena Expert leaderboard: 🔸Grok 4.1 (thinking) also ranks at #1 with a score of 1510 🔸Grok 4.1 ranks at #19 with score of 1437 This is a 40 point improvement since Grok 4 fast, which landed in the Arena just two months prior. Congrats to the @xAI team for this incredible milestone! 👏

After seven years, it's time to say goodbye.

지금 세대는 투자할 때마다 ‘내가 잘못된 건가?’ 라고 생각하는데 사실 잘못된 건 환경임 - 머니 프린팅으로 벼락부자 된 사람들 보며 상대적 박탈감 느낌. 이때문에 투자 성향의 영점이 공격형에 맞추어짐 - 투자로 포장된 투기 쓰레기 상품에 24시간 노출되어 있음. 크립토, 밈주식 등 - AI가 노동의 가치를 실시간으로 0까지 깎아내리는 중. 전통적인 방법으로 자산을 쌓을 시간 얼마 안 남았음. 조바심 한스푼 추가 - SNS, 인터넷 발달로 부자 생활 엿보기 가능. 상대적 박탈감에 24시간 노출 - 인터넷 상에서 만들어진 성공 스토리 필터링 사실상 불가능. 허상이랑 진짜가 구분이 어려워짐 - 예전에는 꾸준히 부가가치를 창출하는 자산을 구매하는 게 곧 투자였는데, 이젠 법화가 미친듯이 찍혀 나오고 있어 법화 가치는 박살나고, 구매력 보존까지 생각해야함. 더이상 투자가 투자가 아님 - 여태껏 익숙하게 누렸던 글로벌 공급망 수혜 사라지기 시작함. 물가 상승으로 구매력은 한 번 더 박살 - 수십 년에 걸쳤던 장기 부채 사이클이 노년기에 접어들며 부채 문제로 글로벌 경제 흔들림. 법화 가치 또 박살. 월급 구매력 박살

ATOM touched 0.001 💀

what the hell was that I kept hitting that buy button nonstop but shitnance was down forever damn it

Kinda wild to see that TardFi looked down on crypto for almost a decade and now they're doing everything they can to become exactly like crypto. Start sliding the leverage bar boomers, and no crying at the casino.

Good company, but higher @PlayPudgyParty $PENGU

Oh Korea, you just got cuter @PenguAsia

I don’t know Jason, or the details of his departure, but as someone who has helped a handful of high profile founders navigate their departures, this reads VERY differently to me than how most are interpreting it. Things that immediately piqued my curiosity: - it’s vague and seems rushed - ill defined “advisor” position softening the landing - investors and employees not saying anything outside of a few generic replies - no statement from the new leadership - no comms from the brand account on the leadership transition - cofounder who is now in charge offering a polite, but somewhat vague, reply - plan to work on something related within the ecosystem Again, this is pure speculation, but I think most experienced comms ppl are reading btw the lines and coming to a very different conclusion than the rest of CT

Yesterday Ethereum turned 10. Today, lean Ethereum is unveiled as a vision—and personal mission—for the next 10 years. We stand at the dawn of a new era. Millions of TPS. Quantum adversaries. How does Ethereum marry extreme performance with uncompromising security and decentralization? TLDR: next-generation cryptography is central to winning both offense and defense. Disclaimer: This is a Drake take™ aimed at a broad audience. A technical deep dive into hash-based post-quantum signatures and SNARKs will follow. A healthy diversity of views across Protocol, the EF, and the broader Ethereum community is expected and welcome. It strengthens us. defense—fort mode Ethereum is special. 100% uptime since genesis. Unrivaled client diversity. $130B in economic security (35.7M ETH staked × $3.7K)—maybe soon $1T. Ethereum is poised to become the bedrock of the internet of value, securing hundreds of trillions over decades, even centuries. Ethereum must survive anything: nation states, quantum computers. Whatever comes. Call it fort mode. If the internet is up, Ethereum is up. If the world is online, the world is onchain. offense—beast mode Ethereum is hungry. “Scale L1, scale blobs” is a strategic urgency inside the EF’s Protocol cluster. Expect low-hanging performance gains over the next 6–12 months. Longer term? Think gigagas L1, teragas L2. Call it beast mode. → 1 gigagas/sec on L1: 10K TPS, ambitious vertical scale → 1 teragas/sec on L2: 1M TPS, sprawling horizontal scale Scale vs decentralization? Why not both. The moon math we need is now tamed: → real-time zkVMs for lean execution → data availability sampling (DAS) for lean data A delicious cherry on top: full chain verification across every browser, wallet, phone. lean upgrades Lean Ethereum proposes bold upgrades across all three L1 sublayers: → lean consensus is beacon chain 2.0: hardened for ultimate security and decentralization, plus finality in seconds; formerly branded as “beam chain” → lean data is blobs 2.0: post-quantum blobs, plus granular blob sizing for a calldata-like developer experience → lean execution is EVM 2.0: a minimal, SNARK-friendly instruction set (possibly RISC-V; pronounced “risk five”), boosting performance while preserving EVM compatibility and its network effects The consensus layer (CL), data layer (DL), execution layer (EL) have each been reimagined from first principles. Together, they unlock fort mode and beast mode. The goal: performance abundance under the constraint of non-negotiable continuity, maximum hardness, and refreshing simplicity. lean cryptography Hash-based cryptography is emerging as the ideal foundation for lean Ethereum. It offers a compelling, unified answer to two megatrends reshaping the ecosystem: → the explosive rise of SNARKs → the looming quantum threat Imagine the leanest cryptographic brick—the hash function—singlehandedly powering L1: → CL: hash-based aggregate signatures upgrade BLS signatures → DL: hash-based DAS commitments upgrade KZG commitments → EL: hash-based real-time zkVMs upgrade EVM re-execution A cryptographic jewel in each of lean CL, lean DL, lean EL. lean craft Lean Ethereum is more than a blueprint for hardening and scaling Ethereum. More than just doubling down on security, decentralisation, and cutting-edge cryptography. It is an aesthetic. An art form. A craft. Think Jiro in Dreams of Sushi. When we can go the extra mile, we do. Minimalism. Modularity. Encapsulated complexity. Formal verification. Provable security. Provable optimality. These are subtle yet important technical considerations. Stay tuned for the post on post-quantum cryptography that will make them explicit. lean legacy After 10 fantastic years, lean Ethereum is a generational oath. To keep Ethereum online no matter what. To scale it without compromise. To make it worthy of those who come next. This is about legacy. We are builders, we are missionaries. We are Ethereum. I hope you join us.
