If i am to build a PoS chain, liquid staking will be integrated as a part of the L1 stack (implemented as a cosmos SDK module), while smart contracts and interchain accounts (except if whitelisted by governance) will be blocked from staking

.@LidoFinance's liquid staking protocol now commands a whopping 1/3 share of total ETH staked on the #Ethereum Beacon Chain. Is this a problem for the future of decentralization on Ethereum?

cryptocurrency is a field where some of the most groundbreaking, important, and impactful computer science & cryptography research is happening, while its public perception is Dog Coin Go Up

the fastest way to electrify everything is to increase the rate of electrification, which may mean burning more dinosaur oil in the near term

This is my Step-son’s @BoredApeYC NFT…he has been educating me on the space recently. I find the technology & culture behind it very fascinating. Doc always keeps up with innovation!

@ncweaver @perrierappa @ahcastor @smdiehl @dgolumbia In your view what are a couple of the papers you recommend for learning about fault tolerance consensus?

[toly 🇺🇸 @toly]

Surprised that someone teaching CS at Berkeley would come up with such a weak strawman.

[hal @Hallgernon]

@ncweaver @perrierappa @ahcastor @smdiehl @dgolumbia I would hate to be on a lecture with such bias information. Regarding the argument that blockchain tech was proposed 20 yrs ago, do you feel the same way about deep learning? The theory has been around since the 60's

[dex @dexworker]

@ncweaver @perrierappa @ahcastor @smdiehl @dgolumbia this is poor pedagogy Prof. Weaver. You likely haven’t used most popular dapps on Ethereum, Cosmos, or Solana and claim a level of expertise that advanced users and builders would be shy to. This period of your ignorance will be forgotten in history, but consider doing better

@nathanielpopper Don't let them get you down.

[DW @DefiDanW]

@nathanielpopper Great thread, very informative.

[Nathaniel Popper @nathanielpopper]

It’s been a while since I tweeted about crypto so I’d forgotten how most people have settled into either 1.all crypto is evil and if you don’t recognize that you are a shill or 2.all crypto is good and leading to a better future and if you don’t see that you are a fool.

for example: paying for gas in swedish crown is saves 12.7% compared to paying in $UST

@Smart_Contract @metagoodnft @OnChainMonkey This is a clever idea. Looking forward to more projects using this approach.

[LINKWIRE @SmartContract]

By using verifiable randomness for distribution, #NFT projects inspire user confidence.

@metagoodnft, the team behind @OnChainMonkey, is using #Chainlink VRF on #Ethereum to help power the fair distribution of its Dessert NFTs.

Here's a presentation I gave in Jan 2022 on the CFTC regulatory process, licenses and their history, and FTX US's thoughts on continuing to work with regulators to bring real time risk and collateral management to the US derivatives markets.
