Open agentic commerce is early. Closed-loop systems are 100x the volume today. The infrastructure to close that gap is being built now.

The pre-game conversation for Vault Summit NYC is now available to watch.
@CharlesJansen (@SPGlobal), @MerlinEgalite (@Morpho), and @RedoudouM (@EntEthAlliance) talked through the themes shaping this Friday's event: vaults, onchain asset management, institutional adoption, and the next phase of DeFi infrastructure.
Full conversation here: https://t.co/y9WsZcjGbg
4 days until the first edition of @Vault__Summit NYC
No better venue than @NYSE to discuss the future of onchain financial infrastructure
Hosted by @SPGlobal and Morpho
A year of backtesting for the Fast Confirmation Rule confirms (!) that:
- 96% of past blocks would have been fast-confirmed in a single slot. This could mean deposits from Ethereum to L2s or CEXes available in about 12 seconds!
- The remaining 4% are usually confirmed fast too, usually much faster than other, less secure confirmation rules such as k-deep confirmations
- No false confirmation is ever issued
Client implementations continue 🫡
Another day another hack...
As a @thedaofund Fund badge holder, I’m wondering whether we’ve had any conversations with @AnthropicAI Project Glasswing / Mythos teams around @ethereum security.

If frontier AI systems are now capable of identifying vulnerabilities across critical software infrastructure, should Ethereum be proactively applying similar approaches to core libraries, clients, ERCs, wallets, bridges, staking infra, and major DeFi contracts?
Ethereum secures ~$250B+ in value. It feels like this should at least be part of the conversation around long-term security strategy.

🛡️ The results for the @thedaofund’s Ethereum Security QF Round are LIVE!
This historic round is closing with a HUGE last minute contribution:
@wintermute_t has added $200K to the matching pool 🔥
Wintermute is a well known liquidity provider, and one of the leading supporters of Ethereum security, in fact exactly a year ago today they donated $1M to @_SEAL_Org.
This year they teamed up with TheDAO, @Quantstamp & several other community partners to allocate over $1.6M worth of funding to Ethereum Security Public Goods 👇
NYC Tech Week with @ethconf is almost here 🗽
Ahead of @Vault__Summit NYC, we’re going live for a pre-game conversation on the themes shaping next week’s event: vaults, onchain asset management, institutional adoption, and the next phase of DeFi infrastructure.
Joined by @CharlesJansen (@SPGlobal), @MerlinEgalite (@Morpho), and moderated by @RedoudouM.
Set your reminders for Thursday, May 28th at 12pm ET.
Institutions are building on Ethereum
The 180 Ethereum protocol engineerings are delivering the technical roadmap.
Issues are closed, test being done, Glamsterdam on its way.
Those are the signals I look for and everything is ✅.
@ECHInstitute and @EntEthAlliance are working on communicating more on that process to help institutions dissociate from the noise.

A few high-profile departures at the Ethereum Foundation have triggered a lot of fear and speculation.
Ethereum was never built around a handful of individuals. Ethereum is collective project.
Today, ~180 protocol engineers across client teams and ecosystem orgs are actively shipping, testing, auditing, closing issues, and advancing the roadmap.
Just check the latest ACD https://t.co/CMC9shSswk
The signal isn’t the optics: it’s the output.
Last week at the @EntEthAlliance welcomed @ECHInstitute and I can not be more excited to work with @poojaranjan19 to demystify Ethereum development process.
And the people leaving? They’ll likely become strong ambassadors for Ethereum’s ethos wherever they go next which can strengthen the ecosystem even further.

As institutional and onchain financial systems converge, standards and interoperability become increasingly important.
Vault Summit NYC takes place in association with @EntEthAlliance, helping coordinate Ethereum’s move into production.

📣 The EEA Privacy Working Group is releasing its first report: "State of Privacy on Ethereum for Enterprise".
7 EEA member organizations and 1 comprehensive map of enterprise privacy on Ethereum.
More on what this means 🧵⬇️
@lex_node@insider0x does it mean that only direct issuance will be trustable path for any tokenized securities? Would be curious to hear the perspective from a security attorney.
