👉 v0.9.6 includes early support for Tzel.

[Chris Pinnock | drchris.tez @chrispinnock]

🔐 Tzel is an experimental post-quantum encrypted ledger on @Tezos https://t.co/RJqblZZ0hV

🏃🏻 The test version is implemented as a smart rollup on the Shadownet test network.

🪚 Over the weekend, @claudeai helped me add Tzel support to the wallet. In this video we show you a test transaction.

A list of Tezos ecosystem tools you might have missed. I’ll be adding more to this thread over time, so it’ll keep growing as new tools pop up.

Which of these have you used? Which ones am I missing?

Let’s put some spotlight on our community builders.

Human-written code has a signature, and it's a stale README nobody planned to fix.

👉Don't forget, the TRIBE OF VALIDATORS will be live on X and YouTube tonight at 1900 UK time.

🍾We'll be talking about baking/validating on @Tezos, quantum test networks and no doubt vibe coding. Come and find out how the six of us run our bakers.

🪚We have some OGs lined up for the show. Let's make it a good one!

Here's a picture of version 0.1 of my Markdown editor called Markup in action. It understands enough to be useful, but more features to come. I say "my" editor - @claudeai wrote it of course.

[Taquito @TezosTaquito]

Taquito v25.1.0 is out.

Adds post-quantum tz5 (ML-DSA-44) support across keys, signing, local forging, Michelson encoding, and fee estimation.

Also switches the default TZIP-16 IPFS gateway to https://t.co/oAV19uBfqo, and fixes fast-block operation confirmations, custom-network reveal fees, concurrent counter races, OptionToken encoding, and RPC cache timers.

This weekend I got annoyed with applications. So I got Claude to write me a task list application. And later on I asked Claude to write me a Markdown editor.

The task list application is snappy and writes to markdown, so it's portable. It's a bit like workflowy but it runs on the Desktop and stores files locally.

The Markdown editor is still early.

But I have two very usable apps tailored to my needs. This is the Way(TM).

Uranium. Gold. Nickel. Cobalt. And more.

@metalsofficial is bringing strategic metals on-chain, built on Tezos.

The license fee is an outdated method of collecting money. I don’t use any BBC service anymore. (But for the record I do pay the fee only to be compliant - I watch live TV occasionally on other sources.)
