Current ETH inflation is 0.8% per annum.
If you are ready to disturb a whole industry, have investors mark you down in the "unpredictable" category because the product you build doesn't have enough organic demand to sustain a <1% inflation.
Maybe the issue is with the product's demand, and no amount of tweaks and belly dancing on the infra will steer the boat.
If we cut @ethereum staking issuance, we will likely kill LSTs.
Without LSTs, DeFi will shrink to the size of a penny. Without DeFi, @ethereum will lose its main value proposition.
Without its value proposition, @ethereum will die.
Do we really want to kill @ethereum?
I’m in Cannes for @EthCC this week. My bag is packed with a stash of personal branded goods and I have one goal: landing my next role in the space.
Ethereum user and builder since 2017, looking to lead growth and content for an exceptional team.
Find me and ask for a macaron gift box (or hunt for the ones I’ve hidden around Palais des Festivals) then scan for my proof of work 🫡
P.S. I’m paying a 1 ETH referral bounty for any intro that leads to a full-time position. 2 ETH if it’s inked before May 1.
I am stepping up as CEO of @dv_labs. We have reduced our team by 30%. This reduction will increase our runway to ensure our success despite a potentially protracted bear market or high rate environment. Institutions take time to win over, but place a high premium on security and risk-adjusted returns. Ethereum staking will be no different. If you manage funds on behalf of a client with a multi-sig wallet, you should ensure you’re staking their funds with a multi-operator validator too.
Similarly for the Obol stack and the agent economy; this market will transform Ethereum, but the adoption will go through a Gartner hype cycle, and maturity will take time.
Obol’s mission is to secure and power the Ethereum economy, and these tough decisions are necessary to achieve these aims.
The team members leaving would make fabulous hires at other crypto firms, and have experience ranging across Cryptography, Data, Frontend, Content and Comms, and Operations. Drop into my DMs if I can make a connection.
EthCC[9] just kicked off in Cannes!
With 300+ talks across 20 tracks, finding what to attend can be overwhelming.
So I built https://t.co/q5vwDwbDJH, your AI assistant that:
→ Helps you find cool talks to attend
→ Analyzes your Twitter profile to find talks matching your interests
→ Answers any question about EthCC (venue, floors, etc)
→ Recommends restaurants near the venue

Nous avons le parc nucléaire le plus important au monde rapporté à notre population.
Avec nos 57 réacteurs répartis sur 18 sites, nous produisons une électricité abondante, pilotable et décarbonée. Nous en exportons même massivement.
C’est une immense fierté française.
À Belfort en 2022, j’annonçais la relance de notre ambition nucléaire. Nous y sommes : 6 nouveaux réacteurs EPR2 vont être construits à Penly, Gravelines et au Bugey.
Le cap est tenu : produire davantage d’électricité en France pour renforcer notre souveraineté énergétique et soutenir notre réindustrialisation.
Somebody should tell Vitalik you can create a key, prepare a dkg, and complete a dkg in one line each using Obol Distributed Validators. End to end encrypted.
With a couple more commands he can run near any combination of Ethereum clients, and take part in securing Ethereum as a squad.
Glad to see some signs of engagement from the EF on the importance of Ethereum's decentralisation.
In February we launched ObolClaw on the Obol Stack, shipped new Charon improvements, brought the Obol community together at meetups across the world, and more.
Catch up on the key highlights 👇
Current ObolClaw status: @OisinKyne’s agent has started buying $OBOL on UniV3.
@openclaw agents are moving onto Ethereum and ObolClaw is enabling frictionless onchain execution ♾️🦞
Today* ObolClaw agents gain @austingriffith's Ethereum Skills. These skills enable an agent to better understand Ethereum and how to develop on it. These skills reduce the risk of hallucinating key contract addresses, improves RPC parsing, and ensure the agent is well equipped to navigate onchain.
* When merged and released.
In Antwerp, at the European Industrial Summit, I’m delivering a clear message:
If Europe doesn’t adapt and accelerate its strategic autonomy, it will become the adjustment market for its competitors.
To prevent that, we must simplify rules and deepen the single market to unleash our industry; diversify our partnerships to secure our value chains; and protect our interests by embracing a genuine European preference and backing a “Made in Europe” approach.
And above all: invest massively, together, in the sectors that will define tomorrow’s power—quantum, AI, green technologies and defence.
Faster. Stronger. European!
This is a commitment that; starting tomorrow, I’m going to build (and shill) in public more, focusing on how Obol’s Stack is merging crypto infrastructure and AI agents to grow the Ethereum economy.
Agents, with wallets, containerised, with the power to create infra on the fly.
Obol repurchased 300,000 $OBOL from the market last week.
This follows the Obol Economic Engine’s launch last month. We’re building a sustainable economic foundation to support the protocol’s long-term health.
Bull or bear, Obol Distributed Validators consistently outperform legacy validators 🎯
@PierTwo_com is currently at a 99% monthly RAVER score, with most of its stake distributed across DVs (Source: @ratedw3b)
