An amazing article I missed at the time, bravo! This mirrors my own thinking on our future within an AI dominated, post-totalitarian society. It's not about building walled, crypto ghettos into which we retreat. The misunderstood core theme of The Parallel Polis is UNIVERSALITY.
The Aztec Foundation was made aware of a potential exploit targeting Aztec Connect which occurred earlier today, June 14, 2026. There are no links between this product and any smart contracts related to the AZTEC ERC20 token, or current Aztec network.
Aztec Connect was deprecated 3 years ago and Aztec Labs retains no controls over the system.
Please follow @AztecLabs_ for updates and further information.
Today I got in person feedback of being a pessimistic party pooper 😆
Gonna wear that with pride.
I believe crypto, privacy, opensource, etc need a very serious dose of reality.
That is the only way CROPS, or sovereign apps as I call them can survive in the future.
I want YOU 🫵

The RAILGUN privacy set has now achieved over $5.16 billion in private volume.
More RAILGUN private volume means a more robust privacy set which leads to support for more private volume. The strength of RAILGUN comes from the constant flow of activity through it.
The worst part: Your wallet is probably not doing much better than the one in @SCBuergel's screenshots.

sign-in with ethereum is actually a terrible idea because it trains people to sign messages all the time & creates _signing fatigue_. what you actually want is the exact opposite. a sig should be considered _dangerous_ and treated as a _special event_. it should not be something users do casually as part of their normal workflow. if people get used to clicking "sign" everywhere, they stop paying attention & eventually sign things they do not understand (this happens every minute in this space btw). the right security model is to teach users that signing something is a _serious action_ that deserves a lot of scrutiny, and not to normalise it as just another login button. we should immediately stop doing this shit.
Looks like the options thing is happening already!

Though I do strongly urge that if any of these get on mainnet quickly, we formally verify it first. I hope @vyperlang and/or https://t.co/OMFlWRqJda folks ( @Fricoben) can help!
(Also, now is a good time to be thinking about robustness-optimized oracles)
