The @ethereumfndn research into post-quantum cryptography is becoming increasingly relevant.

🎥These two talks from the Post-Quantum Meetup held in Rome on May 8 provide a great look into the challenges, research, and implementation efforts already underway.

The Politics of Privacy 📚
Our upcoming book series on #power, #autonomy, and #democracy — out June 14.

Featuring former Digital Minister of Taiwan @audreyt essay: “#Plurality ⿻: Charting a Future Beyond Technocracy and Libertarianism”

Alongside the @RadxChange community, they helped develop a framework for using technology to strengthen #collaboration across differences rather than deepen polarization.

Audrey’s long-standing work at the intersection of hacktivism, civic tech and participatory #governance grounds the essay in lived practice—showing how these ideas move from theory into real-world democratic systems.

David is a pioneering cryptographer best known for inventing foundational technologies for digital privacy and electronic cash. In the 1980s, he introduced concepts like blind signatures and founded DigiCash, one of the first attempts at privacy-preserving digital currency.

Setting up our @Logos_network node at the @urbeEth hub

[Mykola Siusko 🇺🇦 @nicksvyaznoy]

3 meetups in Prague, Rome, Cluj. 300 people. Great speakers from all over the world. Free access, knowledge & merch as in freedom.

And almost no donations.

That's what you need to know on the state of "giving back" in our culture.

@urbeEth @VitalikButerin @asanso 🐺❤️

[urbe.eth 🐺 @urbeEth]

Last Friday, @VitalikButerin visited the Urbe Hub 🐺

We welcomed researchers from the Ethereum Foundation and a few external visitors for a full day of coworking focused on Ethereum’s post-quantum roadmap. Shoutout to @asanso as well for helping coordinate the day.

We opened the Urbe Hub a little over a year ago with a simple goal: to create a place where builders, researchers, and people passing through could sit together, work together, and exchange ideas.

Friday felt like a reminder of why we opened these doors in the first place. People helping shape Ethereum spent the day here doing exactly what this space was made for.

If you’re building frontier tech, whether in Web3, AI, or beyond, if you live in Rome, or if you’re just passing through, the Urbe Hub is here.

Come find us!

“Only together we are strong”

So true.

And today I feel truly stronger, because in that room yesterday (and in many other places around the world) we confirmed that we are not just a few, that we are united by deep ideals and values, and above all that our purpose is common.

Every day we are creating an alternative for a better future in this world.

Let’s stay together, let’s work together, let’s collaborate.

United in Privacy
