Testing @Keycard_ Shell with @niluokay 💳🐚 at @FundingCommons residency. “Keycard is incredibly user-friendly. The next step toward wider adoption is having a hardware wallet that resembles a card. The best part is that you can have custom designs. It’s truly cypherpunk!”

27/30 El problema siempre es prioridad. La startup debe adaptarse al problema, no a los grants ni a la inversión (idealmente) Este consejo aplica para todo, así como @niluokay no dejaría pasar una buena partida de ajedrez incluso en una fiesta Keep building in @FundingCommons

Progress toward real-time proving for Ethereum L1 is nothing short of extraordinary. In May, SP1 Hypercube proved 94% of L1 blocks in under 12 seconds using 160 RTX 4090s. Five months later Pico Prism proves 99.9% of the same blocks in under 12 seconds, with just 64 RTX 5090s.
Announcing Pico Prism, the state-of-the-art zkVM for Ethereum real-time proving. 99.6% of blocks proven under 12 seconds, 6.9s average with 64 RTX 5090 GPUs. This marks a major step toward scaling Ethereum by 100x and a future where you can validate the chain from a phone.

New @VitalikButerin blog post on replacing the EVM with RISC-V in the long-term. I am a huge fan of this direction for Ethereum's execution layer. Today, RISC-V zkVMs like SP1 are the clear endgame solution for "ZK-ifying" Ethereum and quickly becoming the de-facto solution for

Today's a good day to remember why we're here. We're building the future of finance—internet finance. Unstoppable global free trade, not trade wars. Credible neutrality, not entrenched interests. Permissionless innovation, not bureaucracy. Undebasable money, not money printers.

really like the principle: design for flow, not dependency
We’re living in a traffic jam. Not on the roads—but in our economies. Communities are full of people with skills, goods, time, and energy. But they sit idle, not for lack of productivity, but because they’re waiting… for money. That wait becomes a kind of poverty. A poverty of

A good explanation why tariffs raise prices, even if you substitute with domestic products: https://t.co/QIpIXJucaN Obviously, you can always choose some pain for goals that you want to achieve, but claiming there are no costs is idiotic. (If your goal is to re-shore

Awesome!
We're hosting a pilot "Protocol research call" next week, Wed. April 2nd at 14 UTC, on the topic of protocol roles and node duties. Long-term, we hope that this can be a good venue for research, core devs and the community to discuss some of the many questions facing Ethereum.
