Solving quantum algorithms with AI by @eigencloud. Science is accelerating and open source is going to drive that.

NEAR is shipping post quantum crypto end of Q2 to make sure everyone has time to upgrade.

Aging is arguably the root cause of most major diseases (loss of function in our cells). Four years ago, we made a bet that aging was treatable, and NewLimit was born.

NewLimit now has a prototype drug that reverses the age of some human cells (restores function they had when they were younger), and a clinical trial scheduled for next year (with more drug candidates in the pipeline).

Grateful to Founders Fund, Thrive, Greenoaks, and the rest of the investors for this latest round. @jacobkimmel and the team are just getting started.

IronClaw v0.26 is out 🚀

Major highlight is self improving RLM engine (v2) that has gotten a lot more stable over the past week.

Another big work stream is multi tenancy - the only claw that can be shared by the team or enterprise due to security isolation approach.

Succinct now supports ZK proving for 90% of the rollup market.

Another major OP Stack chain has integrated ZK proving with Succinct.

@Bitpanda_global's Vision Chain is the latest addition, built with OP Succinct ZK proofs for same-day withdrawals.

The rollup market is going all in on ZK with Succinct.

Base is the best choice 🟦

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

It's a good decision!

ENS names and records are a form of state that is central to the Ethereum ecosystem, the state is limited in size and there is high value in it being as accessible as possible from anywhere.

It's also a semi-financial application, in the sense that buying and holding ENS names has a cost, and ENS names can become very valuable objects.

With the expanded scaling roadmap, Ethereum L1 is the ideal place for these applications.

More generally, I expect that the optimal architecture for decentralized identity and social (the general space I see ENS being in) is to have this kind of per-user account and profile data on L1, and to have special-purpose L2s, likely much simpler than full EVMs, to handle user actions (eg. actions on social platforms).
