Formerly @Ethereumfndn @ef_esp, now doing my own thing at 868b Labs. Helping design systems that remain resilient, trustworthy, and coherent.

@aerugoettinea Respect for making this public.

Definitely an achievable goal. I've dropped ~12kg since Feb (BMI 29.5 to 25.8), by cutting unnecessary calories (snacks, dessert) and increasing the intensity of daily exercise.

First few weeks are the hardest while changing habits

[Luc @0aLucL]

Resilient systems aren’t the ones that avoid trade-offs.

They’re the ones where trade-offs are explicit, revisitable, and well understood.

That’s what makes sustainability possible.

Canada wants to lead frontier tech.
My son's 2025/26 graduating class: ~300 Grade 12s → 15 study CS, 60 study Physics.

Just an observation, and maybe it doesn't mean anything, but both are foundational for future tech builders.

Anyone else seeing this?

[Luc @0aLucL]

@ColbFinance Tokenization itself is interesting. The privacy and trust model here is very different from where Ethereum’s roadmap is headed.

[Luc @0aLucL]

I couldn’t make it to Devconnect ARG last week. I’m trying to catch up on what was discussed, especially around privacy, self-custody, and trustlessness.

If you attended, I’d love to hear your takeaways on what you found most interesting.

[Luc @0aLucL]

The goal should not be to hide complexity,
it should be to make it legible.

Clarity isn’t abstraction
it’s understanding.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Obfuscation is where abstraction goes too far.

When simplification hides what is happening, understanding becomes optional.

That’s when clarity starts to matter again.

[Luc @0aLucL]

As Ethereum and Web3 matures, agency appears to drift.

What once required deliberate action becomes automatic.

What once demanded a decision becomes a default.

The question is whether it is intentional and if anything is being lost.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Each layer that simplifies Ethereum decides what’s shown, what’s hidden, and what feels effortless.

Abstraction doesn’t have to be neutral.

That’s design, and design always carries intent.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Design doesn’t just shape experience.

It shapes behaviour.

The simpler the interface, the more invisible its influence becomes.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Ethereum feels smoother with every upgrade.

That’s thoughtful design.

I like knowing what that smoothness is built on.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Ethereum feels different lately.

It just works.
Maybe it’s maturity.
Maybe it’s something else.

[Luc @0aLucL]

👀 Hinkal’s wallet is now open to everyone: with shielded pools, zk proofs, and a compliance layer aimed at making privacy feel invisible.

Impressive design, but the real test is in use:
how privacy, usability, and control balance as adoption grows.

[hinkal @hinkal_protocol]

It's time to be private on a public blockchain.

Hinkal's Wallet is now open to everyone.

Shield your wallet’s assets, actions, and dApp interactions from the public view.

It's time to use crypto with confidence.

[Luc @0aLucL]

@SpaceComputerIO @eigencloud Genuinely interesting. I'm curious how the architectural trade-offs play out once space latency meets restaked DA.

[Luc @0aLucL]

If you're building in Ethereum or Web3, or thinking about it, I'd love to connect. DMs are open.

[Luc @0aLucL]

I'm excited to share the launch of https://t.co/aufZgJds9A . It's an independent org helping anyone building, or thinking of building, in Ethereum or Web3, to navigate the ecosystem with clarity and credibility.

[Luc @0aLucL]

The goal now: help teams design credible strategies, sustainable programs, and resilient systems grounded in Ethereum's principles.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Just unboxxed by @freedomfactory dGEN1....wow. Time to power up!

[Luc @0aLucL]

The trick is balance. Targeted funding provides focus. Open funding catches what you didn’t see coming.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Running open grants at the @ethereumfndn taught me that the hardest part of funding is not deciding what you like, it’s creating space for things you didn’t know to expect.

[Luc @0aLucL]

Open doors bring in people and ideas you wouldn’t have targeted. Close them too much and you narrow the future before it has a chance to unfold.
