The crypto job market has truly changed over the last few months. Hiring top talent has never been easier.
At the end of the day, there are only very few projects in crypto that are truly deep and worth working at/investing in, and most projects don't have that much money anymore.
Over the last two months, we've made 5 killer hires starting this month. Can't wait.
Solidity is a huge pain atm
We expect trillions of $ to be secured by a langage for which devs are praying to not have stack too deep at each compilation. I know that fixing this is in their roadmap but still
Not mentioning the inefficiency of some instr (abi.encode)
Beyond policy, I feel like the two meta-problems that have slowed our industry down the most:
- Solidity. Shipping truly safe code on EVM is brutally slow.
- Talent attractiveness. Deep technical talent doesn't want to work in crypto. They don't see the impact they could create, they only see speculation. We've failed to make the substance of the work legible to people who could move the frontier.
If you think that your funds on Arbitrum (or any L2) are safe, you're probably wrong. The chain could seize your funds anytime, and it's written clearly on L2beat. The only chain with concrete guarantees is Ethereum
The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiterโs identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications.
After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users.
As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.
Morpho's fixed rate protocol now has a name: Morpho Midnight.
Morpho Midnight is not an iteration of Morpho Blue. It is a completely new paradigm for onchain lending, and should not be considered a "V2" of Blue.
Blue = pool-based open term variable markets with externalized risk management.
Midnight = intent-based fixed term fixed rate markets with externalized risk AND rate management.
The two will coexist, complementing one another to extend the capabilities of the Morpho network. Weโll start sharing more updates on Midnight as audits finalize.
Running an ethereum archive node does not fit on a 4 TB SSD anymore ๐ฅฒ spending 2k$ on a SSD just to run an archive node is unreal, anyone got a solution ?
Hey @VitalikButerin, was there any reason for not logging allowance updates in an event in ERC20's transferFrom ? this makes allowance indexing difficult and it would have been quite cheap to add back in the days
0/ The Ethereum Foundation continues to explore DeFi as part of its treasury strategy.
In Oct 2025, EF deployed 2,400 ETH + ~$6M in stablecoins into @Morpho Vaults V1.

Today: another 3,400 ETH into Morpho, where 1,000 ETH in Morpho Vaults V2.
Why Morpho? ๐
