CRISP is a showcase of Enclave in action: a full-stack E3 Program leveraging #FHE, #ZKPs, and #DTC for secure, verifiable secret ballots. 

Check out the developer docs, featuring a full-stack implementation — from a React front-end to a RISC Zero zkVM back-end.

From @a16zcrypto's State of the Crypto report:

"Decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) are underpinning nascent services in the physical world"

DePIN

🌐 The DePIN sector map. 

We categorized the space into 2 areas:

⛓️ The Big Four - with all 4 “Decentralized something” categories.

🏗 Infrastructure & niche-oriented projects – with DePIN-focused L1s/L2s, DePIN-oriented infrastructure tools, and specialized networks.

Who else should we add? 🤔

Ethereum

So we have an "official" (i.e. NIST-based) deadline now: ECDSA should be deprecated by 2030 (for 112 bits only) and completely disallowed by 2035. Thx for the crazy ride secp256k1 (and secp256r1). https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2024/NIST.IR.8547.ipd.pdf

Ethereum Account Abstraction

I sketched out my "dream wallet" that would be 10x better than anything in web2 or onchain today

need to solve a bunch of hard challenges, but i think we can get there in the next ~6-12 months. 

onchain is going to be 100x better than online.

I’ll check later:

Using Ethereum is cheap!

Now let's keep abstracting!

The @gnosischain, @nethermind, and Shutter teams are thrilled to announce that encrypted transactions are live on the Gnosis Chain, marking the first mainnet implementation of Shutter's threshold encryption for transactions.

This is huge for censorship resistance and MEV protection:

EIP7732 is live! 🎉 The first EIP on ePBS and separating proposer and builder roles. This EIP focuses on block auctions, but future work could extend to slot or ticket auctions.  Feel free to take a look and ask any questions.

I'm excited to announce a little new project called Cryptfolio Scripts.

This is a collection of Apps Script custom functions for tracking crypto portfolios in Google Sheets.

→ Obtain price data from CoinGecko API
→ Query ERC-20 balances
