After a wonderful run, Polygon Labs and I have mutually decided that now is a good time for me to step down. I will continue cheering the team on from the sidelines, grateful for the journey, and rooting for Polygon.

Posting to flag the work of a longtime friend of mine @WorldSnek who's been working on something interesting: vibe is a fully typed, config-first decentralized application development toolkit for JavaScript and TypeScript devs. Built on top of Foundry, vibe aims to radically

I'm a big fan of psilocybin. It has helped my mental health tremendously over the years. Note: Always do research and be safe.
I'm going to test psilocybin as a longevity therapy. Here's my protocol. In recent studies, psilocybin improved survival in aged mice and increased cellular lifespan in human fibroblasts. My protocol: + 5 grams dried mushrooms monthly, for 3 months. + This is equivalent to

Given all the attention TEEs have received over the last few days, I wrote a piece about a systematic mistake we're making A big part of the story of crypto is identifying the tools we need and then improving them by orders of magnitude (e.g. ZK and permissionless consensus) 👇
We don't evaluate FHE/MPC based on the performance we can achieve today, but rather where we think we can be in 5-10 years with lots of academic work and hardware acceleration Evaluating secure hardware solely based on the products people use today is a mistake

Nobody: 🦗 Flashbots: Solar storm blackouts do not affect BuilderNet and are, in fact, very bullish (SCP server is in underground facility)

Okay time for a take: The shutdown of public-facing news outlets doesn't always mean there's less reporting happening. It means research becomes a boutique product paid for by whales. It means the little guy getting scalped more and more often. This is what they want.
Devastating to see that the closure of Blockworks' news division is actually happening. Obviously a lot of takes to be took, but for now, my heart goes out for those impacted. You guys did good work.

PSA: this is an application of the attack published a few weeks ago to newer chips It still doesn't apply to BuilderNet (or any Flashbots products) because of the physical access requirement but it *does* highlight some of the R&D we're doing [post below]
More interposer fun, this time with DDR5 memory. Breaking TDX, SGX, SEV and even Nvidia TEEs. Checkout our work at https://t.co/Jl1dpGnM6J, and get a personally-signed Intel attestation report at @TEEdotFail.

TLDR - TEEs broken again in a lab. - Doesn't affect BuilderNet or other Flashbots products, as we don't allow operators to run outside of vetted cloud environments. No user funds or data ever at risk. - Attack is nontheless very relevant for moving beyond the cloud model, our

Recently, wiretap.fail, https://batteringram.eu/ and tee.fail attacks were made public. These are not applicable to BuilderNet or any Flashbots products and do not enable frontrunning or unbundling....

I misunderstood the @Ledger multisig announcement the other day. I understood they've decided to charge like a Swiss private bank, but I've only just realized the extent to which they're not actually private at all... I was also dismayed to see that this is still NOT a Ledger

@lex_node @RobertSagurton Soon™️. I'm going to run Sigil to my very last penny to make sure I've done it as correctly as I can before launching. Other nuance to add: I try as much as possible to use the words "unconditional exit window" instead of stage two, because the stage two criteria as defined by

There's a typo in the tweet above: Multisig is a paid service, as indicated in the doc and announced during Ledger Op3n. The EVM version of Multisig is built on Safe, but we went much further, adding Clear Signing, Transaction Check, and Trusted Name to make create the security

Very interesting. @ChorusOne says the governance voting is being ignored & @ilblackdragon says that voting is just a signal & not representative of what gets put on chain (and that vetoing happens via validators at the consensus layer). I'm a fan of using voting as a signal
@ChorusOne @NEARProtocol Rules for upgrading NEAR Protocol have been the same since MainNet 5 years ago: 80% of block producing stake must adopt new version for protocol to upgrade. See Protocol Specification: https://t.co/ZazMZniJkO As a validator you expect to evaluate the changes to protocol and

This is bonkers.
@OGNodeFather @Ledger @safe So far only the frontend on https://t.co/lRGrJc9ICt has an extra fee. For third-party apps, Ledger will charge the app providers. Especially free apps will have to forward these fees to the users as they can't be subsidized. So eventually there might be a Ledger tax on every

Damn Ledger. Writing a novel to respond to a yes or no question. Sounds like a no.
