$ZEC is down 30%+ in 24 hours

But thats okay, Zcash works great regardless 👍

@witconomist in the game for almost 10 years and still trades like an amateur, impressive indeed

@cyberfund love the edit! this is gonna be so sick i can feel it

@CamiRusso @tkstanczak @trent_vanepps @0xstark @barnabemonnot @TimBeiko @CarlBeek every name here has a public post saying exactly why they left. more reading and research and less engagement bait

[Timon @0xtimon]

@ivangbi_ @joonian @CamiRusso @tkstanczak @trent_vanepps @0xstark @barnabemonnot @TimBeiko @CarlBeek also; most of these people didn't leave *ethereum*, they left the EF and stayed in the eco. see protocol guild, etherealize etc.

Nations fall without coordination. Systems follow.

Web3 is learning that the hard way.

Which do you have a problem with? Censorship Resistance, Open Source and Free, Privacy, or Security? These are exactly Ethereum's "product relevancy". These are the only things that distinguish a blockchain from a centralized database. Beneath all the edgy fanfare, a smart contract is only distinguished from server-hosted code by CROPS. The stablecoin chains already demonstrate this (to not even entertain some fight over hosting memetokens). Like do you want Ethereum to compromise the entire chain so it can "compete" with institutional clubs like Tempo, Arc, or Plasma? It would lose. It's only a quirk of temporary future-blindless that an intra-bank blockchain-aware faction has to drag the slow behemoth along with it through these games appealing to our industry. They will always resolve to the most profitable outcome for their oligopolistic incumbency. This is about speed and security to them. They could just abolish ACH and have cybersecurity upgrades to their systems. But they're not nimble so it has to look like disruption and alternative (so long as these are effectively no less outside their authoritarian purview).

Fortunately, information and markets naturally free themselves of inefficiencies posed by vestigial intermediaries. I.e., the CROPS chain will attract flow in the long-run, only after the negative cost of vampiric middle-men is demonstrated by the market. This will take time. The 21st century stages man's digitization. It is a 100 year battle. Ethereum is the single most important project on the side of liberty. The technological affordances of the coming epoch will end in Singleton unless freedom is unavoidable. We already see this tendency in the AI wars. CROPS is the bedrock for any conceivable alternative. I, and even cynical bag-defending you, should want nothing less than this extreme solemnity in the hearts of the World Computer's stewards. If they took it any less seriously we wouldn't stand a chance.

Today marks an inflection in the Ethereum Foundation's long-term quantum strategy.

We've formed a new Post Quantum (PQ) team, led by the brilliant Thomas Coratger (@tcoratger). Joining him is Emile, one of the world-class talents behind leanVM. leanVM is the cryptographic cornerstone of our entire post-quantum strategy.

After years of quiet R&D, EF management has officially declared PQ security a top strategic priority. Our journey began in 2019, with the "Eth3.0 Quantum Security" presentation at StarkWare Sessions. Since 2024, PQ has been central to the @leanEthereum vision. The pace of PQ engineering breakthroughs since then has been nothing short of phenomenal.

It's now 2026, timelines are accelerating. Time to go full PQ:

→ PQ ACD: Antonio Sanso (@asanso) kicks off a bi-weekly All Core Devs PQ transactions breakout call next month. These sessions focus on user-facing security, covering dedicated precompiles, account abstraction, and longer-term transaction signature aggregation with leanVM.
→ PQ foundations: Today we are announcing a $1M Poseidon Prize to harden the Poseidon hash function. We are betting big on hash-based cryptography to enjoy the strongest and leanest cryptographic foundations. Check out our other $1M PQ initiative, the Proximity Prize.
→ PQ devnets: Multi-client PQ consensus devnets are live! Shoutout to pioneers @zeamETH, @ReamLabs, @PierTwo_com, @geanclient, @ethlambda_lean, as well as established consensus teams Lighthouse, Grandine, and soon Prysm. This incredible teamwork is coordinated by @corcoranwill via weekly PQ interop calls.
→ PQ workshops: Building on last year's PQ workshop in Cambridge (see photo), the EF is hosting another 3-day PQ event in October. Top experts from around the world will convene. In addition, a PQ day is set for March 29 in Cannes just ahead of EthCC.
→ PQ FV and AI: Last week Alex Hicks (@alexanderlhicks) ran a specialised maths AI for 8 hours, at a $200 cost. It one-shotted a formal proof one of the hardest lemmas in the foundations of hash-based snarks. Mind-blowing. Applied cryptography will never be the same.
→ PQ roadmap: A comprehensive breakdown of the EF's proposed PQ strategy will be shared soon™ on pq[.]ethereum[.]org. The roadmap targets a full transition in coming years with zero loss of funds and zero downtime. Stay tuned :)
→ PQ education: The ZKPodcast (@zeroknowledgefm) is producing a 6-part video series on Ethereum's PQ strategy. EF Enterprise Acceleration is also preparing material for enterprises and nation-states. Finally, Ethereum is now represented on the PQ advisory board that Coinbase announced yesterday.

Believe in something. Believe in PQ security.

Singapore: done ✅
Heard “best event of the week” and “most productive event of the week.” That’s the bar.

Thanks to everyone at #Token2049 and partners @chaoslabs @BenqiFinance @hemi_xyz @1deltaDAO.

Builders first, zero fluff.

Next: Devconnect Argentina 🇦🇷

Uniswap's DUNA structure is a signal:
1) DAOs want legal shields
2) They don’t want to sacrifice decentralization
3) They need clarity for multi-billion treasuries

Open Qs: how much does state-level law matter in a global protocol? How many protocols will follow?

[sassal.eth/acc 🦇🔊 @sassal0x]

Okay so you just threw out all of the bearish arguments that Blockworks has been spewing for years?

Let's run through them:

- L2's are parasitic to ETH
- ETH is not a store of value
- ETH should be valued on REV
- Ethereum moves too slow to compete
- The L1 needs to scale before Ethereum can compete
- Other L1's are going to destroy Ethereum
- and many other arguments

So are all of these points now no longer a concern because some Wall St people are buying ETH? You also said you were "very bearish" on ETH *after* some of these buyers had been announced.

Ethereans have been telling you for years that ETH is a store of value and we've gotten immense pushback on that but now that Wall St believes it, you capitulate?

You don't have an investment thesis on anything - you are acting like a day trader - the best investors are those with a long-term principled thesis that is not swayed by short to medium term noise.

It's simple - Ethereum people were right, Blockworks was wrong. Just accept it.

[Timon @0xtimon]

@investanswers close to 1m Solana DAU? What's the methodology behind this

[very early Ventures @veryearlyxyz]

Ten hours just to decide whether to decide, nuts.

On-chain rule-setting could finish in seconds, and it would be transparent, auditable and tamper-proof.

Maybe it’s time U.S. lawmaking migrated to credibly-neutral smart contracts on #Ethereum
