What other apps/dApps might begin to take advantage of this hybrid model? Really interesting read on 'deltagraphs' combining CRDTs and blockchain:

What’s mwp? I wonder how much WC is really needed—the main benefit seems to be passing messages to wallet apps on mobile?

Concerns raised about WalletConnect's centralisation 1+ year ago; no improvements since. These tools are parasitic for entire Ethereum/web3 ecosystem; it makes a farce of every so-called "decentralized" app that relies on it. https://github.com/orgs/WalletConnect/discussions/2123

and yet, there’s a catch 22: if Ethereum enshrines privacy before it gains mass adoption, governments will likely try to quash it while it is still young and malleable.

lack of privacy is imho one of crypto’s fundamental blockers to mass adoption. ethereum is basically a dark forest, and we shouldn’t be putting our daily activity on blast to the whole world

hah. unfortunately, it looks like there is little we can do as the whole mobile ecosystem pretty much depends on it.

I think when I first used wallet connect it didn’t have this projectId requirement and felt more like a protocol; now it feels more like a tech startup with multiple ventures. From what I can see, eip-6963 seems sane but only for browser extensions, doesn’t seem useful for mobile

Every dApp needs its own WalletConnect projectId now, conveniently only generated by signing up to WalletConnect’s servers. 🤦 How did we get to this point and what happened to the goals of decentralization?

Considering the importance of client diversity in Ethereum, it’s wild to see the casual acceptance of WalletConnect’s centralizing forces…

Been looking at that recently, it seems great. Only problem is that most of these wallet connectors are React only. I'm trying to wire something up with svelte so might just stick with wagmi-core and fudge up my own UI/UX.

what's the standard frontend/fullstack library for wallet connection these days? wagmi or rainbowkit, or another?

playful experiments in elliptic curve cryptography— visualising public keys by encoding the affine X and Y curve coordinates into a graphic representation. – 256 bits are spread into 8 sRGB color stops with varying segment 'thickness' – 1 bit "Y-even" flag determines the draw direction (inwards vs outwards)

A small example of verifying asymmetric keys on the bn254 (aka: alt_bn128) curve in JS and Solidity. Next feature would be to support hash-to-curve mapping to verify a bn254 signature. → https://gist.github.com/mattdesl/f1554460fb1fceaed76c733778a33453

Say you wanted to prove small parts of a blob (or multiple blobs concatenated) with KZG commitments, but you don’t have access to the original whole blob(s), how would you go about doing that? Eg with: https://github.com/ethereum/c-kzg-4844/blob/main/bindings/node.js/README.md#verifykzgproof

I don't own a Meridian, but have always greatly admired this work created by @mattdesl in the form of a 15 kilobyte JavaScript program. It's nice to enjoy the whole richness of this collection in a book. Available at @vetro publishing house.

There is plenty more info on the Filigree page below, and a FAQ if you scroll to the bottom—including a link to the ERC-721 Art Blocks Engine contract. Be mindful to only purchase through http://tdg.art and the links in this thread. → https://tdg.art/projects/filigree
