ZK rollups are the future of blockchain applications. And now, anyone can build one.

Introducing the alpha release of Sovereign SDK, a toolkit for developers to easily launch their applications as zk-rollups.

I was initially upset when I heard about the latest Ledger firmware upgrade introducing seed backup functionality. Looking into this a bit, my understanding now is that this does not actually seem to change any trust assumptions: 1/

Public, standarized schemas through the EAS standard are a big unlock for on-chain attestations. Exciting update for the AttestationStation.
Maybe the next iteration should support standarized privacy preserving attestations?

[OP Labs @OPLabsPBC]

Today is a major milestone for decentralized identity in the Optimism ecosystem: the AttestationStation has been upgraded to the EAS standard, giving developers one common standard for issuing & reading attestations that interoperate across the ecosystem.

I'm excited to announce we are open-sourcing Artemis, a framework for writing MEV bots in Rust.

We built Artemis to make it as easy as possible to get started with searching, and designed the library to be simple, modular, and fast.

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

Today we're proud to announce the next generation of our encrypted zkRollup with the same name that started it all:

Aztec.

Aztec is the first ever hybrid zkRollup, enabling both public and private smart contract execution in one environment.

It's Ethereum, encrypted.

1/ For crypto to reach its next stage of growth, it must be used less for speculation and become more like money. We believe privacy is a necessary condition for this to occur.

@nocturne_xyz we’re excited to introduce a new primitive to the Ethereum ecosystem—private accounts 🧵

[Dan Robinson @danrobinson]

Introducing Blend!

@blur_io wanted a lending protocol with:

* Arbitrary collateral, including NFTs
* No oracles
* No expiries
* Market-set interest rates

So @transmissions11 and I worked with them to design a new mechanism

Here’s how it works 🧵

[Circle @circle]

1/ Today marks a new milestone! Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (#CCTP) is now on mainnet for @Ethereum and @Avax. https://t.co/ExIAWywNGt

[Lens @LC]

Introducing Bonsai, an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyperscale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.

Available for Lens devs in closed beta today.

[erc4337 @erc4337]

The rumors are true... ERC-4337 has been deployed on mainnet 🚀

[Uniswap @Uniswap]

1/ We get a lot of questions about Uniswap v3 from:

💻 Devs building on Uniswap v3
📈 Analysts drawing insights
🔎 Researchers studying market activity

Today, we’re outlining some of the most common technical questions we see, digging into the math, & running example code 👇

[Aman Gottumukkala @AmanGotchu]

Secure on-chain randomness is a topic that has been touched on a lot over the past few years.

In the latest blog, by @paradigm Engineering, @sina_eth_, @gakonst, and I explore and implement secure randomness on Ethereum using SNARKs and VDFs.

[Jim @jimchang]

1/ Over the past 2 months, I fell in love with the interoperability problem. I spoke to nearly every project in the space, and decided to summarize my 200+ hours of research into an article.

Here’s what I learned.

[Liam Horne @liamihorne]

Ethereum core devs have a call coming up this Thursday to discuss getting EIP-4844 to be considered for inclusion (CFI).

This is a huge moment for the many teams that have been working on getting this EIP to production this year!

Here is why I think it's time for CFI 👇

[dr cavey phd ∿ @cavemanloverboy]

Introducing, a Zipper for your @xNFT_Backpack: a stupidly simple primitive intended to prevent particular forms of MEV and rugs.

It's an instruction that checks that the token balances passed into a previous instruction are at least a specified amount.

[Aztec @aztecnetwork]

You’ve heard of zero-knowledge proofs.

You’ve heard of SNARKs and PLONK and zkRollups.

But you haven't gotten started, because you don’t have a spare brain dedicated to learning cryptography.

That all changes today.

Introducing Noir, the universal language of zero knowledge.

[shresth @sagrawal]

Today, we are announcing "Kevlar" (https://t.co/XA534c7xDa), a tool that makes Metamask, or any RPC-based wallet, completely trustless! Kevlar first runs a light client to quickly sync with the beacon chain and then starts a local RPC proxy that you can add to your wallet

[Joshua Lim @joshua_j_lim]

1/ this is how I think the mango attack played out, please let me know if I got anything wrong:

at 6:19 PM ET, attacker funded acct A (CQvKS...) with 5mm USDC collateral

🎨ERC721K: Dynamic On-Chain Images and Metadata

A new framework for constructing, rendering and evolving NFTs (ERC721) using composable SVGModules and real-time DataStreams.

[Ape Dev @_apedev]

Just came across an evolution of an old YouTube scam that was quite interesting. It's netted the creator over $30,000 in just over 24 hours.

A thread on how it works & the new innovations in this particular version of it:
