NEW EPISODE - Zcash Names: ENS for Zcash
@ZcashNames founder James Joseph (@zcashme) joins @TrustlessState to break down how .zec usernames make shielded payments simpler without exposing your transaction history.
They dive into how ZNS compares to Ethereum's ENS, the technology behind private usernames, the remaining security tradeoffs, and whether the system could pass the Edward Snowden privacy test.

Transparency proves. Privacy protects.
The real system does both at once.
Data stays hidden by default.
Only what must be known becomes visible.
Proof without exposure. Control without sacrifice.
Private when it matters.
Verifiable when required.
That is the balance.
We were very happy to co-host and organize the Alphaland Trading Carnival with @SmartXTerminal and @JELabs2024 during #Token2049, with @BNBCHAIN as the blockchain partner. The event was truly enjoyable.
Our co-founder @xxiang_xie was interviewed on-site ๐
Just to clarify, this is actually expected behavior rather than a UI bug:
The amount shown on the main vault card is the Total Confidential Tokens deposited into this vault at the snapshot, while the pop-up modal shows your personal balance and the amount of DeFi receipt tokens you will receive after staking.
Ready for tomorrow night?
We canโt wait to see you in Singapore!
Alphaland Trading Carnival is happening at The Riverhouse in Clarke Quay.
โฐ It starts at 18:00 SGT.
Co-hosted by Primus together with @JELabs2024, @fourdotmemezh and @MojoAI_HQ
We are joined by amazing partners including
@pudgypenguins, @predictdotfun, @MossAI_Official, @BNBCHAIN and @yzilabs.

๐ค @VitalikButerin just shared some thoughtful perspectives on the long-term security of lattices and FHE in the age of AI.
Itโs not a call to panic.
But the security margins now need to be taken a lot more seriously.
Hereโs what actually matters: FHE remains one of the few ways to compute on encrypted data without ever decrypting it.
That value hasnโt disappeared. The threat model has simply gotten harder.
Lattice-based cryptography also offers a broader and more functional post-quantum security foundation than hash-based cryptography, especially when you need encryption, key exchange, or general computation on encrypted data.
Thatโs why at Primus weโre not just talking about FHE.
Weโre building it carefully, with parameter choices that respect the new reality.
On @BNBCHAIN. Backed by @YZiLabs.
BNB tends to stand where the real technical frontier is, not just where the loudest narrative is.
The math is hard. The implication is simple:
Whoever gets practical, robust FHE right will own a very important piece of the future.
Weโre here for that piece.
Vitalik's math score: 99.99/100
My math score: 0.01/100
So, together, we might make it into something... ๐คฃ
(interesting thread ๐ to read, even if you understand as little as I do)
Another 2049 with @CryptoHayes Grateful to @akshat_hk for organizing and for the invitation!
Among our many investors, Maelstrom is definitely one of the best when it comes to picking restaurants for a party ๐๐
The first Maelstrom dinner I ever attended was at Le Du in Bangkok, and I remember thinking then: Arthur really knows his food lol.
@MaelstromFund has been supporting @primus_labs for the past two years.
Weโve always shared the conviction that privacy will be an indispensable part of bringing assets on-chain. Only fundamental cryptographic technologies can truly enable asset security and privacy while meeting compliance requirements, and this becomes even more important in the age of AI.
๐ Grateful to stand with @MaelstromFund, @CryptoHayes, and @akshat_hk.
We share the same conviction: privacy is indispensable for bringing real assets on-chain.
Only fundamental cryptography can enable security and privacy while meeting compliance requirements.
This only becomes more important in the age of AI.
Appreciate the consistent support and alignment. ๐ค๐ค๐ค

Thatโs a wrap from Seoul! ๐ฐ๐ท
Glad to be part of #BNBSeoul, and great to see Primus CEO & Co-founder @xxiang_xie join this afternoonโs panel on how privacy, transparency, and verifiability can coexist as more activity moves onchain.
Thanks @BNBCHAIN and everyone who joined us! ๐งก
