zkEVM has arguably become the gold standard technology for scaling Ethereum. In this article, I want to share some of the lessons we have learned while building the zkEVM, and how we’ve been thinking of different trade-offs along the way. https://t.co/fQlORnU41r

Excited to see @brevis_zk's Pico Prism entering the ZK-EVM proving arena! An important step forward in ZK-EVM proving speed and diversity.
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.

It's interesting that you can't even visit its website...@AnthropicAI (Context: I am a max plan user that should have 20x more usage...just normally using one coding agent to refactor code😅)

Massive congratulations, @ScottWu46! With this much capital raised, I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up building their own LLM…
We’ve raised over $400M at a $10.2B post-money valuation to advance the frontier of AI coding agents. The round was led by Founders Fund with other existing investors including Lux, 8VC, Neo, Elad Gil, Definition Capital, and Swish VC all doubling down. We’re also joined by new

Seeing all this poaching from Meta… is California really the best place to build an AI startup? 😂 No non-competes means big companies can just acqui-hire every top talent?

I was just chatting with a friend about AI vs crypto, and it reminded me of a personal story. I actually made my choice between the two seven years ago during undergrad. I was doing my thesis in a computer architecture lab. There were two directions I could take: 1) Hardware

Check out this deep dive by @jonastheis_, probably the most comprehensive piece on rollup design from first principles. It breaks down every component (inbox, sequencer, prover, bridge, L2 node) and explores key trade-offs like: tx data vs. state diffs, latency vs.
1/🧵 What is a rollup? And how do you make sense of inboxes, sequencers, bridges, and proofs? This thread breaks down "Rollups From First Principles" — a must-read by @jonastheis_ for anyone building or curious about L2s. 👇Let’s dive in. https://t.co/b7Cw8pmQ8N

Hot take: our security council might actually be more decentralized than Solana’s validator set. “Decentralization” here = how many independent orgs you’d need to coordinate with to gain majority control. (Yes, same logic people use to critique Ethereum via Lido, Coinbase, etc.
@mteamisloading @armaniferrante Security council could theoretically be compelled to move all bridged funds into a bankruptcy trust. 🤷♂️

I’m genuinely curious, how can a token still have such high volume even when it’s “suspiciously manipulated”? Is it all just market making? It must take a massive amount of capital to absorb that kind of sell pressure under a $40B FDV… It seems that as long as someone
you’re bearish sui because their token price barley moving during a giant hack makes it look suspiciously manipulated. i’m bullish sui because their token price barley moving during a giant hack makes it look suspiciously manipulated. we are not the same.

It’s impressive that every hack eventually leads to buying ETH… Even the hackers know which chain is truly decentralized and secure, they actually care, since they could lose everything or end up in jail.

@ryanberckmans @tkstanczak I agree that optimism, curiosity, and a strong sense for product opportunities are essential. But I completely disagree that someone with an infrastructure background is the wrong fit. Ethereum is a product, but it's also a product with a primary focus on developers. It’s not a

I’m increasingly convinced that Validium-style systems will be key to institutional adoption. It offers: 1) Regulation-friendly privacy at extremely low cost 2) Trustless, permissionless interoperability with other systems ZK enables systems to "talk" to each other in a

The next challenge for real-time proving: 1. Prove an arbitrary block within 12s. This is critical, and part of why we’re cautious with mainnet. zk proving introduces new DoS vectors — blocks with lots of zk-unfriendly opcodes and low gas cost can still take significant time to
🤯 real-time proving is here 🤯 Mainnet EVM blocks proven in under 1 Ethereum slot (12s). Goosebumps. Succinct proves every Ethereum L1 block: → 94% in <12s → 99% in <13s → 99.9% in <12s, soon™ Yesterday RISC Zero unveiled a $120K home GPU cluster—proofs expected in

My take on why REV is flawed as a valuation metric for ETH: 1. REV is a vanity metric, like TVL It’s useful to track, but the number alone doesn’t mean much. Take TVL as an example: 10M USDT from one whale is different from 1M users with $10 each, the latter is far more robust.

The most authentic list of rollups you should care about that doesn't compromise security. Others all make big trade-offs or are literally servers with nothing to do with Ethereum security. (Validium is slightly acceptable if you want to push performance to the extreme — it's the

Dolphins' fans have been freed!!! Chris Grier is no more! This should have happened a while ago. Having 10 years to build a team and have 0 PLAYOFF WINS is absurd. There are certainly other people that need to go, but it's a start.
