Over 425 TRILLION $SHIB tokens have now been permanently removed from circulation — that’s 41.08% of the original 1 Quadrillion supply!
Current Total Supply: ~589.16T
Circulating: ~585.61T
The deflationary pressure continues. Who’s still holding? 💎
🚨 Vitalik just shared Ethereum's vision for the next decade.
It's called "Lean Ethereum" and it could become the $ETH network's biggest transformation since The Merge.
Here's what's planned over the next 3-4 years:
• Native recursive STARKs for faster and more efficient verification.
• Post-quantum cryptography to protect Ethereum from future quantum computing threats.
• A new scalable state architecture targeting 100 TB by 2030, with the potential to cut transaction costs for some assets by more than 10x.
• New virtual machine designs (RISC-V / leanISA) aimed at improving performance and enabling programmable privacy.
• The upcoming Glasterdam upgrade is also expected to significantly raise Ethereum's gas limit.
While most discussions focus on ETH's price, Ethereum's core developers are planning for a world where scalability, privacy, and quantum resistance matter just as much as decentralization.
Whether every proposal makes it into production remains to be seen, but one thing is clear:
Ethereum isn't just planning for the next bull market.
It's planning for the next decade.
13 days.
So far no one has found it.
My only hint is that I would encourage people to somewhat broaden their search; I've seen quite a few searches and AI scripts that fail to include categories of documents that really should be included.

A living character doesn't just hand off. It stays in the room with you.
Same personality, same warmth, all the way through.
That's what brands have been trying to bottle for decades and It's exactly what EMOTE-1 solved.
Two weeks ago, Ethereum researchers met in Berlin to continue charting the protocol's long-term trajectory, following along discussions with client teams in Svalbard in April.
The updated strawmap is at https://t.co/9e2AQ6rhz6, and I attached a picture of it to this post.
My own high-level takeaways:
* "Lean Ethereum" is not a single one-shot upgrade, it is a collection of improvements that will come online to the Ethereum network over the course of three or four years. But make no mistake, this IS the third major iteration of Ethereum in the same way that the Merge was the second. Almost every major piece of the protocol will be replaced:
- Verification through recursive STARKs, rather than direct re-execution. Recursive STARKs become an enshrined first-class core component of the protocol
- Replacing everything quantum-vulnerable with quantum-safe alternatives
- Consensus: decoupled available chain and finality, one or two-round finality. Theoretically optimal security properties, simpler than today, and faster than today
- Multidimensional gas
- State: not just tree structure, but what *types* of state are available
- Changes to client architecture
...
At the same time, simplification, cleanup and future-proofing. And this will all be done in a way that minimizes disruption to existing application. We've done this before (the Merge), we can do it again.
* H-star (aka Hegota) is probably Ethereum's last thematically "pre-Lean" fork. Starting from I-star, most of everything we do will have a very strong "Lean" feel to it in one way or another.
* Privacy is no longer an afterthought, it is a first class goal. When designing Frames, the mempool, additions to the state tree, we explicitly ask the question "okay, how do quantum-safe, intermediary-free privacy protocol transactions go through this, and what is the overhead?"
* Formal verification of everything for security.
* FV also makes us much more comfortable with canonicalization (having pieces of the protocol that are directly defined as a piece of bytecode expressed in some language). evm-asm is being written in part to become a canonical proof system for the EVM.
* Quantum safety has shifted up a LOT in priority. This adds a lot of work (eg. finalizing a quantum-safe blobs design has become urgent; this work has already been ongoing for months)
* Probably the single most disruptive part of the plan is the changes to state. There is growing consensus around leaving present-day-style "dynamic state" mostly unchanged, but scaling it only a medium amount, and adding new types of state that are more scalability-friendly (eg. no need for builders to sync/store all of it) but more restrictive, and that will scale a large amount.
eg. possible Ethereum in 2030: 2 TB of present-day-style (dynamic) state, and 100 TB of new-style (scalable but restrictive) state
This "new-style" state would work very well for ERC20s, NFTs, many defi use cases, but not eg. highly "central" objects like Uniswap contracts, or onchain order books, or other complex things (which are crucial for Ethereum but which only take up a small percentage of state)
Hence, it will not be *necessary* to rewrite any apps, but it will be *very cost-effective* to eg. rewrite an ERC20 token into a newer design that uses a new type of UTXO storage that is currently being explored, so that it will have >10x lower txfees.
Design of these new state types (current ideas: keyed nonces, ring buffers, UTXOs, statically accessible state, temp state) is an area where we will need a lot of feedback from application developers (incl. privacy-friendly application developers) and probably several rounds of rethinking and iteration.
* In the context of a much larger total state size, we need to figure out the incentive issues around who stores this state and what motivates them to. Even saying "each node stores 1%" is not good enough - why do they store that 1% and why are they willing to serve it? This is being elevated as a first-class research area.
* Ethereum will need to have a "VM" other than EVM in one form or another - at the very least, we need something like leanISA for recursive STARKs - and the gains are large in exposing it to users so that we support programmable privacy and better scalability. Right now, the most likely contenders are leanISA and RISC-V.
My own ideal is that in this world, we adjust the protocol so that the EVM becomes a high-level-language compiler-level feature, and the protocol only "sees" RISC-V / leanISA directly. But this is still far away.
* Gas limit increases, blob increases and slot time decreases will happen many times over the next ~5 years. We expect a large gas limit increase with Glasterdam. Each step of increased scale or decreased slot time is a matter of getting to the point where it is safe to do it, which comes from a combination of client optimization and protocol changes.
Ethereum is CROPS.
Ethereum is scaling.
Ethereum is reinventing itself.
Onward.
Liebe Aktivisten. Gestern Abend haben die Organisatoren der @hanfparade mit 8 zu 1 ( Ortwin ) Stimmen nochmal beschlossen Daniel Brückner, statt @UsualRedAnt als Veranstaltungsleiter einzusetzen .Er genießt mein Vertrauen und hat in den letzten Jahren als Veranstalter der 4/ 20 Demos bereits unter Beweis gestellt, das er es kann. Ein Aktivist wie Steffen Geyer,der einerseits erklärt, dass er diese Aufgabe wolle, andererseits sich weigert, Transparenz und Rechenschaft bezüglich 14000 € Spendengelder ( oder mehr ? ) herbeizuführen ,ist für diese Aufgabe nicht tragbar.Da er ja erklärte das sein #30fuer30 Projekt aufgrund von Krankheit gescheitert sei, sollte er sich im übrigen erstmal um sich kümmern. L.G
One Teaspoon, Infinite Extremes! Think a single teaspoon of matter is no big deal? Think https://t.co/JmERjF18J5’s how wildly density changes across the cosmos:Ordinary water → ~5 grams
Iron → ~39 grams
Earth rock → ~27 grams
Now leave Earth behind…A teaspoon of material from a white dwarf (the crushed core of a dead star) would weigh between 5 and 15 tonnes — about the mass of an elephant or a small truck.
But the true champion of density? A teaspoon scooped from a neutron star — the collapsed remnant of a supernova — would weigh an incomprehensible 10 billion tonnes. That’s roughly the mass of Mount Everest… in a single teaspoon.
These mind-bending extremes show what happens when gravity pushes matter to its absolute limits. In the hearts of dead stars, atoms themselves are crushed out of existence, creating forms of matter that defy everything we experience on https://t.co/DTL0DXPobs tiny spoon. Infinite extremes. The universe doesn’t just break records — it laughs at the very idea of what’s “normal.”
Duo from Duolingo became a cultural reference before the app became a habit for most people.
The character did work the product couldn't do alone, it made people feel something before they'd even opened it.
Now imagine that character inside the product, handling the conversation, reading the room, responding to what's in front of it rather than what was anticipated for it.
That's what EMOTE-1 makes possible.

Shiba Inu Reclaims Crypto Top 30
Shiba Inu has returned to the top 30 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as exchange reserves continued to decline.
CryptoQuant data shows nearly 781 billion $SHIB left exchanges between June 25 and June 29.
Exchange reserves fell to 87.18 trillion tokens, suggesting continued accumulation by large holders.
The SHIBArmy is 1.598M holders strong.
That’s larger than the active duty militaries of the United States, India, and Russia.
Only a handful of countries on Earth operate at that scale.
This isn’t just a community.
It’s global force. 🐕🌍🪖
No, this isn't an illustration of a distant exoplanet; it’s Saturn 🪐. Its unusual color is due to the fact that the image was captured in the infrared range.
At the bottom, you can see a small sphere—that’s Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. Incidentally, it possesses an atmosphere one and a half times denser than Earth’s. The image was taken by the Gemini North Observatory in Hawaii.

Europe is suffering through its worst heat wave in recorded history.
This week, 3 dozen U.S. states will likely see record-breaking temperatures.
No, Mr. Trump. Climate change is not a “hoax.”
We must stop fossil fuel industry greed and save the planet.
