SoP's Protocolized is hosting an AI x science fiction  contest. I wrote one and you might want to too.

Select a term for a technical or procedural concept with protocolish connotations and write a story that explores some unexpected and startling implication of the concept.

Here is the story.

What happens when a smart city learns to balance perception like bandwidth? Fault Tolerance explores the quiet horror of being optimized out of existence.

tl;dr: I co-wrote some sci-fi. I'd love if you'd give it a read.

ACDE#207 Recap: 

A new testnet, Hoodi, is going live Monday to wrap up Pectra testing, if you need to test validator exits, be on the lookout for it! Everything else can be tested on Sepolia & Holesky. 

Pectra will be scheduled 30+ days after Hoodi forks successfully,  pending infra and client testing. 

Fusaka planning will run in parallel, with a deadline of March 24 to propose EIPs, and a tentative date of April 10 for a scope freeze 🫡

Devconnect ARG

Devconnect is coming to Buenos Aires, Argentina from 17-22 November 2025!! 🌞🇦🇷

Devconnect ARG will be different: We want to support an effort the local community has already started — bringing Argentina onchain.

Read about Devconnect ARG & how you can get involved👇

If you are reading this and run a Holesky validator, please get it back online ASAP and remove your slashing protection DB (to allow you to attest to the valid minority chain).

Holesky validators: we are coordinating a mass slashing event tomorrow Feb. 28 around 15:00 UTC. 

You should: 

1. Update your node (see screenshot)
2. Sync your node to head (new CL branches will help)
3. Right before slot 3737760, disable slashing protection

More info here:… https://t.co/oJlcpm3acC

Post call update: 

We did not have enough validators online to finalize, but we saw less slashings than expected. 

Therefore, we're going to try and get enough validators online to finalize a block over the next couple days.  

If we haven't finalized a block by the Monday…

No. And I'm also not a capitalist. Both are 20th century ideologies.

(And they are words that have been stretched and abused to the point of meaninglessness: remember, in the 1990s, Microsoft called Linux "communist": https://www.theregister.com/2000/07/31/ms_ballmer_linux_is_communism/ )

I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress.

These are timeless principles. The question is how to use the tools we have available to achieve these values in the context of the 21st century. I've written at length about the kinds of mechanisms I personally support, but I definitely do not think that I am the only source of good ideas, I think figuring out the best approach is a shared project of both thinking and also increasingly real world experimentation.

I support freedom, global equality of opportunity, kindness and cooperation, human welfare and progress.
