we’re seeing strong demand for the OMap even though almost nobody knows what it is. use cases teams keep asking for: - private payments with hidden sender and receiver - outsourcing setup for private on-chain data reads (e.g. PlinkoPIR) - zkID first teams will adopt it in Q1.

Privacy will be the most important moat in crypto
Privacy will be the most important moat in crypto. Why? Because secrets are hard to migrate. Everyone is launching a new "high performance" blockchain lately. But these chains are hardly different from one another. Blockspace is functionally the same everywhere. And with

now that everyone knows what PIR is, it is much easier to explain OMap PIR == private reads OMap == private reads & writes

Encryption hides your data. It does NOT hide your behavior. If an observer sees you querying the memory slot for "Bankruptcy Law" every day, they don't need to decrypt the file to know your secrets. This is Access Pattern Leakage. It’s the silent killer of privacy in Web3. 👇

It's definitely @aztecnetwork day. Watching the dashboard about to go to public sale, listening to @Bankless with @Zac_Aztec and @jaosef, wondering how the rest of the team is doing. ☕️
LIVE NOW - Aztec: The Private World Computer for Ethereum Privacy If crypto wins without privacy, did we actually win? @RyanSAdams sits down with @aztecnetwork co-founders @Zac_Aztec and @jaosef to unpack their eight-year quest to build a private world computer for Ethereum,

This post very eloquently captures my recent conversation with @JensGroth16 in BA. If you have any interest in the future of {verifiable, private} finance, it’s worth a read.
"With privacy, there’s no partial credit. Nobody cheers when you get it 70% right." — @aisconnolly of @TACEO_IO Verifiable finance demands cryptographic guarantees, not vague trust. Read the conversation:

ok watching the @aztecnetwork tokens clearing after watching this video is slightly more fun.
CCA, powered by @Uniswap is a new, fairer auction mechanism that allows new assets to seed liquidity and discover a fair market price. @aztecnetwork is using CCA for their token auction to distribute ~15% of the token supply in a transparent and verifiable manner I’ve created

'BA was the least fun @EFDevcon I've ever been' What a summary by @aisconnolly. Yet her statement couldn't excite me more. Our industry matures. We're getting serious about things. Yes, less colorful, less shiny, less DEGEN. We start acting like real (boring) biz. Bullish!

At @ETHGlobal it was clear to see that demand for MPC is rising rapidly, but support was lacking. Just noticed this slide from @a16zcrypto and surprised to see MPC usage is so high already. Looking forward to seeing this picture next year, with live networks and tooling

most of them already understand this but don’t know how to get privacy everyone knows about the track record of Ethereum and EVM but name 1 privacy protocol or project that can be used easily by banks and has a track record of more than 1 year.
"Once banks understand they need both privacy AND decentralization, there's only one answer."

I first met Daniel 10 years ago at a blockchain school in Colombia. His remarkable journey from there, to Aarhus, to JPMC, saw him become one of the World’s best MPC researchers, while remaining humble and kind. This is not just a win for TACEO, but the web3 space as a whole 🔥
After 4.5y at JPMC researching in the intersection of cryptography, finance and AI, I'm happy to join @TACEO_IO in their efforts of making MPC, FHE, ZK and related technologies more practical and widely used. I'm excited for the research and use-cases that will come out of this!!

So much talk of verifiability and privacy for payments, but let’s not lose sight of what’s knocking on our doorstep. Agentic AI can help in so many ways, let’s make sure we get it right from the start.
Crypto scaries… “I lie awake at night thinking about a half-baked agent with no semblance of privacy built in taking over crypto trading. This where data verifiably in finance must play a role.” - @aisconnolly of @TACEO_IO in convo with @JensGroth16 at @NexusLabs’s verifiable
