More people should know about the Interfold. It's basically what I've been yelling at people to build with the MACI ideas ( ethresear.ch/t/minimal-anti-… ) for almost a decade, and now it exists, in a generalized form. The idea is: a privacy protocol optimized for things like voting (and other use cases eg. secret-ballot auctions). The mechanism generates a threshold encryption key, and people send in their votes onchain, using a ZKP to prove eligibility. An arbitrary computation on the votes gets run inside FHE, and then threshold-decrypted. From what I can tell (the docs are good docs.theinterfold.com/CRISP/… ), it gets pretty optimal security guarantees: * Voter anonymity can be made unconditional if eligibility is proven with ZK-SNARKs * Censorship resistance is guaranteed by ethereum (votes can be posted directly onchain, and there's a proof that all posted votes are taking into account) * The correctness of the outputted result can be ensured via ZK over FHE * Liveness and coercion resistance depend on M-of-N honesty; unavoidable given present-day technology The main limitation is that today "ZK over FHE" is only properly available for additive vote tallying, as it's too expensive for computations that involve multiplication or other more complicated manipulation at the moment. There's work in progress on slashing-based / optimistic computation for such situations. (And of course ideally in the long term we'd figure out obfuscation so you can get rid of the M-of-N committees😃)

The @ethereumfndn research into post-quantum cryptography is becoming increasingly relevant. 🎥These two talks from the Post-Quantum Meetup held in Rome on May 8 provide a great look into the challenges, research, and implementation efforts already underway. 👇

The Ethereum Foundation dAI team supports Urbe Hub, Italy's official Ethereum Community Hub. Urbe Hub is the meeting point between AI and Web3: a physical space in Rome where builders, researchers, and the curious come together to build on the convergence between these two frontiers. With the support of the Ethereum Foundation dAI team, we'll keep building this here, in our city.

We got Vitalik, next we need @PatrickAlphaC to complete web3

It’s not AI

Thanks, Vitalik, for signing the @ETHRome logo ✍️

last week @urbeEth home, aka Urbe Hub, hosted several teams from @ethereumfndn. It was an amazing experience to share thoughts and visions with them and attending Post-Quantum workshop. 🐺⚡️

🔥 Anthropic brucia i libri. Letteralmente.🔥 👉 mgpf.it/2026/05/09/anthropic… L'azienda dietro Claude, proprio quella che si presenta come "l'AI lab responsabile", ha comprato tra 500.000 e 2 milioni di libri usati, li ha fatti smontare pagina per pagina, scansionare e poi mandare al macero. Per trasformarli in dati di addestramento per i suoi modelli. Si chiama Project Panama. Ed è venuto fuori dai documenti del processo intentato dagli autori contro Anthropic. Il motivo è una sentenza del 2025: usare libri digitali piratati per addestrare l'AI viola il copyright, ma usare libri cartacei acquistati legalmente no. Quindi Anthropic ha trovato la soluzione comprando copie fisiche, digitalizzandole e distruggendole. Legale? Probabilmente sì. Ma vale la pena chiedersi cosa significa il momento in cui una delle aziende AI più potenti del mondo decide che i libri sono solo un contenitore comodo ma lento di dati, da svuotare, tagliare e buttare. #Anthropic #Claude #AI #copyright #projectpanama

"Post Quantum Ethereum" organized yesterday by @urbeEth and @matteoikari was a truly above-average event for our community and a special thanks to @asanso and @tcoratger for making it simple and understandable for everyone! The talks will soon be available online on the urbe.eth channel 🐺📺

“Say post quantuuum” 😬 A huge thank you to @tcoratger and @asanso for this very interesting session on Ethereum’s PQ plans, and also to @gallo_eth, @lucamorelli_eth, and the entire @urbeEth team for helping us organize this special day at the Urbe Hub!

Epic Post-Quantum meetup w/ @tcoratger & @asanso moderated by @matteoikari @urbeEth 🐺❤

As Instagram removes E2E encryption today, the counterculture is here @web3privacy @PG_CDG @herminius_eth
