"Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again" isn't simply a slogan for me β€” it's a statement of intent. This isn't branding. It's resistance. This isn't about playing nice. It's about reclaiming Ethereum's soul! Look it's very simple: Ethereum must provide privacy _unconditionally_. Today, it operates in a partial, opt-in model, forcing users to jump through hoops just to conceal their financial lives. That's not sovereignty β€” it's submission. Enough compromises. We need privacy by default. Over the past weeks, I've written a potential path forward β€” a vision for Ethereum as a maximally private, self-sovereign financial system. Read it. Challenge it. Improve it. Let's co-create it. Make Ethereum Cypherpunk Again. https://hackmd.io/@pcaversaccio/ethereum-privacy-the-road-to-self-sovereignty

Dropping some thoughts as this concerns me a lot lately: - What happens when a DPRK-backed persona slips into Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, etc.? - What happens when client teams get compromised from within, turning trusted core devs into silent attack vectors? - What happens if the Kim boys start tampering with the cryptographic libraries we all rely on? (we don't know if this already happened btw...) So far, the attacks have targeted individual projects. The next phase? My guess is a full-scale takeover of the infra that holds our ecosystem together. Look, it's pretty simple: the threat model isn't just shiftingβ€”it's escalating. Every move you make without paranoia is an opening for state-sponsored actors to dig in deeper. If you're not fucking questioning everything, you're already playing their game. This industry's long-term survival depends on its foundational pillars operating in a constant state of paranoia. Like it or not.

EOF: When Complexity Outweighs Necessity https://hackmd.io/@pcaversaccio/eof-when-complexity-outweighs-necessity A lot of time and energy went into this new deep dive on EOF. We break down its supposed benefits and argue they're more "nice-to-haves" than essential upgrades. Instead of adding complexity, we highlight cleaner, less disruptive solutions that achieve the same goals. EOF's objectives are solidβ€”but there's a smarter way to get there. I would like to highlight that the authors and contributors of this post represent the full EVM stackβ€”from VM and formal specification maintainers to compiler engineers, application developers, and library creators. Please reflect on this guys. If you got feedback, let us know here: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/ethereum-is-turning-into-a-labyrinth-of-unnecessary-complexity-with-eof-lets-reconsider-eof/23136 https://x.com/pcaversaccio/status/1900200732000759892

People keep asking me since days how to secure their systems and what the best strategy is. I will be very honest with you all as I'm always. If you want real security (and there will be never 100% security), it's not (just) about toolsβ€”it's about fucking mindset. At least 80% of it is pure paranoia. You and your team (can be a small DeFi project, can be a large CEX, ...) need to be paranoid as fuck. Drill it into them. Make it second nature. That's how you cut down risk, big time. The human factor is always the weakest linkβ€”no tech can _fully_ fix human fuck-ups. Sure, we'll kill blind signing, we'll upgrade our tools, but people will always be the problem. The only way to fix that? Train them to be fucking paranoid. There are no fucking shortcuts. If you have 900 employees, it's the leader's job to make sure all 900 are paranoid as fuck. You'll say that doesn't scale? Maybe notβ€”but if u don't do it, you're effectively gambling with everything. And when shit goes wrong, the price u pay will be brutal.

Ethereum is this fucking phenomenal economic playgroundβ€”the biggest we'll witness in our lifetime. It's a wild frontier, open to boundless experimentation, but that also means it's a hunting ground for criminals. The real issue isn't just scams or crime (and yeah, I'm not downplaying them to be clear); it's that, after a decade, we've utterly failed to deliver killer applications that the average person actually gives a shit about (if you reply with stablecoins I will report your tweet as spam lol). Crime thrivesβ€”and screamsβ€”because it's one of the only undeniable use cases (so far). The tech itself isn't broken; WE are fucking up its application. The systems we build can't float in some idealistic vacuumβ€”they need to be rooted in social consensus and real-world utility. And so far, we've spectacularly failed to drive mass adoption of anything that truly moves the needle for everyday people.
