People see the numbers go up and think it’s easy. They miss the sleepless nights, failures, and resilience it takes to push through the lows. Crypto thrives not on luck or bubbles but on the vision and determination of a few relentless innovators driving decentralization and trust.

Imagine being in a war and seeing one of your fellow soldiers crying because they heard gunshots or saw someone die Brother get a fucking grip. Snap the fuck out of it. We all gotta deal with this shit. Now I gotta hear you cry about it too? You make me sick to my stomach.

I'm advocating for these EIPs to scale Ethereum's L1: EIP-7823 for ModExp reprice, EIP-7732 for ePBS, EIP-7825 to limit max transaction gas, and EIP-4444 for history expiry. Once implemented, we can think about raising gas limits beyond 60 million.

I don't get this vibe lately. EthGlobal organizes hackathons with thousands of participants worldwide every year, and there’s also a protocol fellowship program for aspiring core developers and reshttps.

We have decided that 1.5% of the network will go to @ProtocolGuild. We wouldn’t be here without Ethereum and its core developers. Ethereum is the world computer and one of the most important innovations of our time.

Solana’s volume is skyrocketing, and with it, MEV extraction. The value of sandwiching now exceeds the value of all other MEV (including priority fees) on Solana COMBINED. If the current centralization trend continues, I predict arsc will become Solana’s largest staker within 1-2 years. They’re looping profits into staking their sandwiching validators—already top 200 by stake weight—and they’re not slowing down.

It replaces central banking with decentralized banking. Rather than setting interest rates by fiat, rates get set by markets. Example below. Lenders set a price, aka an interest rate. And borrowers decide to borrow at that rate.

It'd be huge for both Ethereum and Wyoming if their stablecoin launched on Ethereum. But for that to happen, we must participate in their vendor process. Eth orgs on the L1, Polygon, Arb, Base, or OP should take a look at submitting proposals ASAP.

The most important issue currently facing the digital asset industry is the DOJ’s interpretation of Section 1960 - the criminal code provision punishing unlicensed “money transmitting businesses.” That is why I wrote this paper with @jchervinsky and @dbarabander

New research on the potential (low) impact to eth's decentralization if we decide to add 50% more blobspace in the next hard fork (Pectra, eta H1 2025). Crucially, pectra doesn't yet have the new peerDAS p2p blob data system, so any blob increase adds to bandwidth requirements.

It's not the top until you get rugged by this little dude live on Twitch and a VC explains to you why this is healthy sustainable mainstream adoption.

The internet didn’t have marketing. AOL and Microsoft did though. L2s, and more importantly Paymasters with Account Abstraction, open up ways for companies to abstract away the tech, *and* profit from the access to the tech. That’s how open standards grow.

Kai-Fu Lee says GPU supply constraints are forcing Chinese AI companies to innovate, meaning they can train a frontier model for $3 million contrasted with GPT-5's $1 billion, and deliver inference costs of 10c/million tokens, 1/30th of what an American company charges

I'm gonna share possibly a controversial opinion, but I think that this massive open interest build up contains a fuck ton of shorts and I think that $ETH has a very real chance of going on a monster rally now.

When “Fight Club” premiered at the 1999 Venice Film Festival, it got booed hard by the audience. Ed Norton said that as it was happening, Brad Pitt turned to him and said: “That’s the best movie I’m ever going to be in.”

The @dYdX v3 is frozen. There is no operator. And yet, people are withdrawing funds using L1 - this is what we mean by Stage2 non-custodial systems. What's most amazing is that this is (was ?) one of the first rollups ever launched on

You thought L2's were parasitic and Vitalik didn't think this though? Ah sweet summer child, little do you realize how insane this will get when the Ethereum ecosystem really kicks into high gear.
