It's time to come out from stealth! Something we've been working on in the background, building something new. Welcome to @amaroo_network This is only the beginning.

I've been talking to a lot of people about Amaroo lately, and a few others are wondering what it is. So for all curious, I'd love to write up about it from my personal perspective: Let's start off, what is Amaroo? The name 'Amaroo' itself is an Australian Indigenous word

One of the first things I see when I go back online. What a read, and a huge effort for @kianenigma! Interested in learning blockchains? Check this out!
I have used the holidays to finish a favorite side project: a short online book containing all that I have learned and know about #Web3 and #blockchain in the last 7 years. Hard to ever call it "done," but I am ready to share it with the world: https://t.co/ENhox5Novd

This is such a good way to look at it. Similar was said back with the ICOs, Cryptokitties, and a number of 'waves' of interest. I spent a great deal of time in my research days looking at chains being benchmarked and stress tested fairly with global deployments. Keep your eyes
Every chain's memecoin era helps it stress test for real-world use cases. We saw it on Solana, Sei, Base, and nearly every other chain. Instead of looking down on it, we should appreciate it for its value in showing us the gaps in our infra.

One of my good friends @alranpe wrote an incredible article on @Sei_Labs research blog. If you've ever wanted to learn more about blockchain consensus without going through complex diagrams and proofs, I'd recommend it. Quite insightful! https://t.co/hmuJzq4t93

Playing around with @tempo over the past day, and have to say it's good to see some blazingly fast rust! 🦀 Gets me thinking.. there's a few of stablecoin chains starting to surface. What if there was a way to provide a non-custodial DEX flow between them with @amaroo_network?
Tempo’s testnet is live! Any company can now build on a payments-first chain designed for instant settlement, predictable fees, and a stablecoin-native experience. Tempo has been shaped with a wide group of partners validating real workloads including @AnthropicAI, @Coupang,

I'm a huge fan of both F1 and Ethereum, and to see the parallels between them is amazing! But so much truth, there are always changing constraints and evolving conditions to adapt to as you build.

Fusaka really is a symphony of machines working together. These things are the reasons I genuinely love distributed systems and the research that follows. Awesome! The dashboards and views on @ethPandaOps dashboard are mesmerising when you think of what's happening.

If you're keen on learning to review applications written for the Risc0 zkVM then checkout this talk. You don't need to know math to review Risc0 applications, though you will want to learn Rust. https://t.co/O1VVe7IHdO

There's definitely a shift coming in code writing and auditing. Tools like this will help quickly pick off exploits and potential logic bugs, but I'm still a big fan of human security audits for complex and exotic walkthroughs. The game is changing though!
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:

Another great read to add to my list and something to explore. Privacy is becoming such an important pillar in the evolution of web3 and digital payments, which is very good to see.

An incredible writeup and an interesting read for all. "An old saying goes: people overestimate what can happen in two years, but they underestimate what can happen in ten." That speaks volumes.
In Defense of Exponentials I used to tell founders, the reaction you are going to get to your launch is not hate, it’s indifference. By default, nobody cares about your new chain. I have to stop telling them that now. Monad just launched this week, and I’ve never seen so much

Didn't get to go to @EFDevcon this time, but watching the recordings is so energising! Absolutely loved the talk by @AnnaMSGeorge on making DeFi truly cross-chain, and it's a testament to what we're building here at @amaroo_network! Exciting times ahead!

Great article! Finality and confirmations have always been something that has interested me - when '1 confirmation' on one chain could be 'y confirmations' on another. I also quite like the idea that the finality goes through "levels"/"phases" - gets me thinking of some past

Finality is a belief that some things will not change in the future (are final). Finality in blockchains matters because it gives us confidence that transactions or protocol decisions, will remain...

Last week at devcon I gave this lightning talk on the benefits of sharding txs in MCP chains in terms of reasonable pricing, greater goodput, censorship resistance and privacy and MEV resistance (for some definition of these last two). Hope the gist is clear after these 5mins!

Now this is a read I'm excited for!
1) We present the first truly private, single-server zkSNARK delegation scheme for well-known group-based zkSNARKs such as Groth16, Plonk, and Nova. Our core idea is to delegate the prover’s most expensive computation—namely, the MSM—to a single server.

Something as small as an `.unwrap()` had such a large impact. Crazy. Turns out Clippy and compiler warnings are a big help 👀 Having good pipelines and elegant failure handling is helpful. Good lesson to learn.

After years running SEAL 911 and coordinating incident response, we've identified a critical gap: while many protocols have strong smart contract audits, there's no standardized way for them to demonstrate operational security maturity. Today we're issuing an RFC for our newest
