The concerted shilling of Zcash that started last year makes more sense when you consider someone was probably minting and dumping endless supply the entire time
“Ethereum has stagnated in usage over the last five years.”
What I see is that unsustainable and speculative use cases have been replaced by sustainable ones (e.g. stablecoins, increasingly RWAs), and those have grown massively over the last five years and will continue to grow.
Asked about the CLARITY Act on @SquawkStreet today. Leaders like @Sen_Alsobrooks and @RubenGallego are the reason it's moving but the crypto crowd needs to get in line and stop the whining and push it right now.
Crypto is helpful to under-served communities and now is the time to get this done.
New EIP!
pERC20 - Privacy-Native Fungible Tokens
🔗 https://t.co/DBDudAF6I7
Highlights:
- Not ERC-20 compatible by design: pERC20 removes public balance/allowance concepts (no balanceOf/approve/allowance/transferFrom) and replaces transfers with a ZK note-based interface (transfer(PrivacyCall)), because public balances would defeat the privacy goal.
- Privacy-native from issuance: tokens are always represented as encrypted ZK-UTXO notes (Orchard-style actions with Groth16 proofs); there is no “public-to-private shielding” step—transfers are note→note and amounts/participants are private by default.
- Public, on-chain verifiable supply: totalSupply remains public and is updated only through controlled mint(amount, ...) and burn(amount, ...); transfers must conserve value (valueBalance == 0), enabling “no invisible inflation” while keeping balances private.
- Built-in compliance via frozen-root binding: every action commits to the contract’s cmxFrozenRoot, and the ZK circuit must prove the spent note commitment is NOT in the blacklist SMT. Admin can update the root (setFrozenRoot) to freeze/unfreeze specific notes without revealing normal users’ balances.
- Security-critical invariants and checks: implementations must prevent double-spends with nullifiers and must range-check each public field (< Fr) to avoid nf + Fr-style bypasses; the core bundle execution must not be publicly callable to prevent unaccounted supply changes; signature points must be curve/field validated and replay protection must bind chainId + contract + note data.
ELI5:
This EIP proposes a new kind of token standard for Ethereum where people’s token amounts and who they pay are hidden by default. Instead of keeping a public “balance” per account like ERC-20, the token exists as many encrypted “notes” (like digital cash bills) that can be spent with zero-knowledge proofs. Everyone can still see the total number of tokens that exist (totalSupply) so the issuer can’t secretly create extra tokens. It also adds an optional-but-built-in “freeze list” mechanism: the token contract keeps a public fingerprint (root) of a blacklist, and the zero-knowledge proof must show you are not spending a frozen note.
I understand why he's doing this, great for engagement, the pod, business, etc. But constantly shilling $ETH for 10 years and then turning around with "I told you sos" after selling like 3 days ago is the most cringe thing I have ever witnessed
🚨NEW: A group of pro-crypto senators is pressing U.S. banking regulators to establish capital requirements for banks’ crypto activities.
In a new letter, @SenatorHagerty, @SenDanSullivan, @SenLummis, @berniemoreno, @SenJonHusted and @SenTedBuddNC argue that the Basel Committee’s 2022 capital framework effectively functioned as a ban on banks holding digital assets on their balance sheets with a 1,250% risk weight for assets like bitcoin, and that regulators should adopt a new U.S. framework that is more balanced.
The senators point to regulators’ March guidance that tokenized securities should receive the same capital treatment as their underlying assets and argue the same tech neutral principle should apply more broadly to digital assets.
The push comes as Congress considers the Clarity Act, which would authorize banks to engage in a broader range of digital asset activities, raising questions about whether current capital rules are compatible with that framework. It also comes as global regulators revisit the Basel crypto capital standards.
$BMNR preferred is what $STRC couldn’t be, its lower yield is also offset by the staking yield, effectively around 6% vs 12% as well.
It also allows for derisking on the rewards side that has been an issue on the clarity act side.
A way to get more shareholder value.
That said $ETH will still have to perform.
they gave david hoffman 24 hours to brag in his telegram groups that he escaped eth before the collapse and rotated into outperforming alts
and now they’re gonna send all those alts -70%
Tropic Square disclosed a vulnerability in the TROPIC01 Secure Element chip used in Trezor Safe 7. It has been identified based on findings from the Ledger Donjon team's independent audit.
Important: Your funds remain safe and secure. Trezor Safe 7 has not been hacked, and you don’t need to take any action.
What you need to know:
- This discovery cannot give an attacker access to your PIN, funds, or wallet backup in Trezor Safe 7. The vulnerability concerns only the TROPIC01 Secure Element chip, one of three physical, independent security layers, not the whole device.
We’re releasing this news proactively because this is how open-source security should work. Transparency is non-negotiable. Collaborations like this raise the bar for the entire industry and make self-custody security stronger for everyone.
Here is our response to the findings: https://t.co/rFv2m1eWju
@deCryptoEagle This is a phishing scam! Do not click the link. Do not interact with this email⚠️
It uses our old logo. The sender's email address will also be incorrect.
There is no vulnerability that requires any update or user action!
This changes the WHOLE game. @ethereum will finally win.
USDC/USDT spread in Ethereum right now for 100k dollar trades is only 1.6 bps. @binance has 3.56 bps.
Part of the problem we had in crypto is to believe that the correct way to price an asset was by calculating the price on chain with a mathematical formula. Each agent of the market needs to be able to set their own price. Now thanks to PropAMMs we have this in Ethereum and this will make Ethereum the best place to trade. This will bring all the liquidity on chain.
This seems something small but it will have incredible consequences.
