This world, from the start, is unfair. But it's this very unfairness that fuels our drive for fairness and equality. Every user, every project—every opportunity should be on an equal footing. If the industry falls short of equality, we'll pool our strength, give it our all, and fight for it.
Not too long ago, we boldly declared a 10 billion Market Cap goal. Many thought it was a pipe dream. After more than seven years in the industry, we're well aware of the challenges. Yet, it's precisely because it's tough that we chose to take it on. Otherwise, there wouldn't be $123 million in just 6 days, nor a day where we listed on 10+ exchanges.
It's only by envisioning the future that we can own it. @ZKFCommunity stands for every ordinary person—every you, every me, every common project. We deserve equal, fair opportunities. Gold always finds its shine. #CommunityPower #Fair
The classic L2 vs Ethereum alignment drama is back, and this time Base is right in the middle of it.
Layer 2s were sold as a way to scale Ethereum while still supporting it. Users pay fees in ETH. Those fees are supposed to strengthen the main network, create demand for ETH, and keep the whole ecosystem aligned.
Base is doing the opposite right now.
It generates massive fees in ETH from all the activity on its chain. But instead of holding that ETH or putting it back into the Ethereum ecosystem, those fees are being sold and the money is going into Bitcoin. Meanwhile Base’s parent company keeps its ETH holdings basically flat while stacking more BTC.
Base uses Ethereum for security and settlement, takes the value created by ETH users, and converts it into something that doesn’t help Ethereum at all.
If a major L2 won’t support $ETH, then the community shouldn’t support that L2 either.
Most people are missing the ETH angle behind Robinhood Chain.
At first glance, it may seem like Robinhood launching its own chain has little to do with $ETH. The activity happens on Layer 2, fees are low, and users may never think about Ethereum mainnet.
But the deeper point is security.
Ethereum L2s do not exist in isolation. They rely on Ethereum mainnet for settlement, data availability, and security. If Ethereum’s security were compromised, assets and applications on its L2 ecosystem could also be affected.
According to the Ethereum Foundation’s report, around $76B worth of ETH is staked to secure Ethereum. The report also estimates that it would take about $50.7B worth of ETH to finalize a fraudulent transaction.
That is why institutional adoption on Ethereum matters for ETH.
Robinhood may be only one of the first major traditional finance platforms to build on Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem. If more banks, brokers, fintechs, and asset managers follow, the amount of value relying on Ethereum security could grow from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars.
At that point, ETH is no longer just a gas token.
It becomes the economic collateral securing a global settlement layer.
That is the bullish case: as more real-world financial assets move onto Ethereum and its L2s, the market may be forced to reprice ETH based on the value it secures.
Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible.
I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why:

Massive for Ethereum as Wall Street moves closer to bringing equities fully onchain!
Arthur Hayes predicts AI-focused tokens powering autonomous "agentic" economies—where AI agents transact and operate independently—could surpass Ethereum in market cap by 2030, displacing it from the top 3.
He’s the Jim Cramer of crypto: bearish in bear markets, bullish in bull markets. No surprise this clown is singing that tune right now. 🤡
Ethereum is where the next big narrative will start:
Looking back at the past
ICO 2017 (ERC-20 → >90% of ICOs on Ethereum)
DeFi Summer 2020 (Compound, Uniswap, Aave, Curve → entire core protocols on Ethereum)
NFT 2021 (CryptoPunks + OpenSea on Ethereum)
GameFi early stage (Axie using Ronin – Ethereum sidechain)
Layer 2 (Arbitrum, Base, Optimism,...→ entire scaling solution for Ethereum)
It wouldn't be surprising if a new mega trend also started with Ethereum
Focus relentlessly on the Ethereum ecosystem. If you already hold $ETH, keep it tight. If you don’t, start accumulating now.

Come back here and thank me later.
👏Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin says the blockchain trilemma has been solved.
ZK-EVMs and PeerDAS now enable decentralization, consensus, and high bandwidth simultaneously.
Now that ZKEVMs are at alpha stage (production-quality performance, remaining work is safety) and PeerDAS is live on mainnet, it's time to talk more about what this combination means for Ethereum.
These are not minor improvements; they are shifting Ethereum into being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network.
To see why, let's look at the two major types of p2p network so far:
BitTorrent (2000): huge total bandwidth, highly decentralized, no consensus
Bitcoin (2009): highly decentralized, consensus, but low bandwidth - because it’s not “distributed” in the sense of work being split up, it’s *replicated*
Now, Ethereum with PeerDAS (2025) and ZK-EVMs (expect small portions of the network using it in 2026), we get: decentralized, consensus and high bandwidth
The trilemma has been solved - not on paper, but with live running code, of which one half (data availability sampling) is *on mainnet today*, and the other half (ZK-EVMs) is *production-quality on performance today* - safety is what remains.
This was a 10-year journey (see the first commit of my original post on DAS here: https://t.co/Fa0jKFgObW , and ZK-EVM attempts started in ~2020), but it's finally here.
Over the next ~4 years, expect to see the full extent of this vision roll out:
* In 2026, large non-ZKEVM-dependent gas limit increases due to BALs and ePBS, and we'll see the first opportunities to run a ZKEVM node
* In 2026-28, gas repricings, changes to state structure, exec payload going into blobs, and other adjustments to make higher gas limits safe
* In 2027-30, large further gas limit increases, as ZKEVM becomes the primary way to validate blocks on the network
A third piece of this is distributed block building.
A long-term ideal holy grail is to get to a future where the full block is *never* constituted in one single place. This will not be necessary for a long time, but IMO it is worth striving for us at least have the capability to do that.
Even before that point, we want the meaningful authority in block building to be as distributed as possible. This can be done either in-protocol (eg. maybe we figure out how to expand FOCIL to make it a primary channel for txs), or out-of-protocol with distributed builder marketplaces. This reduces risk of centralized interference with real-time transaction inclusion, AND it creates a better environment for geographical fairness.
Onward.
