Tonight's the night π¦ Builder Nights Multichain Fest in Wynwood during @consensus2026 Miami!
Here's what we've got cooking on stage:
π‘ The Multichain Stack, what it actually takes to build across chains. If you care about interop, cross-chain UX, or how the big ecosystems are thinking about working together, this one's for you.
@mikashi from @MetaMask@jacobvcreech from @SolanaFndn
@deeepmoist from @changenow@GuyZys from @fhenix@tomerweller from @StellarOrg
π‘ Onchain + AI with agents, wallets, and where the next internet is heading. If agentic commerce, x402, or AI x crypto is on your radar, come through. who would you see here will be @lizbazurto from our team moderating with:
@arno39 from @Dune@mrminter from @SonicLabs@JakeSalerno from @0G_labs@DeFiGuy3 from @BanxaOfficial
And Money Moves Onchain, I'm moderating this one. We're getting into stablecoins, payment infra, and where the new rails are actually working. If you build in payments or care about onchain money, pull up.

π₯ Plus a fireside with @ethereumJoseph and @gazza_jenks from @TheBlockCo. Don't miss it.
And this time we're bringing a Grammy-nominated headliner so will be fun.
After that, we all roll to the @_thebestevent party with @TobiasTBV & @Brent_Fulfer π

I asked @ethereumJoseph to explain @MetaMask without jargon
His first answer: "Well, no I cannot"
His second answer: it's a magic wand that hides the math so you can just move stuff on Ethereum
Podcast out this week
@Consensys
Consensys is proud to join DeFi United alongside @aave with up to 30,000 ETH to support the rsETH recovery.
The Ethereum ecosystem has always been at its best when it moves as one.
DeFi United.
Leading Ethereum stewards @Consensys and @ethereumJoseph have joined DeFi United with up to 30,000 ETH in financial support for the rsETH recovery effort, with ongoing strategic advisory from @Sharplink.
Their contributions are a substantial component of the broader DeFi United effort to restore rsETH's backing and normalize market conditions, and the recovery would not be progressing as it is without them.
DeFi United.
Today is my last day at Consensys, where I've been building MetaMask for over ten years. I'm burned out and need to spend time with my family. Wishing the team the best β they have an amazing road ahead of them.
So many fucking retards on this app
Arbitrum freezing hacked funds means its up to DAO vote what happens to them.
That IS decentralisation.
The folks here who try to keep up theatrics by letting DPRK continue to steal millions are complicit.
In what world is it better to lose 300m just to feign decentralisation?
Linea is primed to be the first battle tested Native Rollup technology stack, and we directly support this EIP and direction.
We made a unique decision early on to follow the mainline EVM specification exactly with no forks, hence itβs the only L2 stack that an L1 EL client can sync to out of the box!
This was extremely challenging with ZK proofs but we stuck to it and now this aligns with the convergence of L1 and L2 and applies nicely to Vβs restated vision.
First step, Stage 1 zkEVM, which will be rolling out very soon along with other unique Linea features, such as Yield Boost.
Letβs keep building!

@arkham This tweet requiert a bit more context as it bring fud to Linea:
1. We was listed on Arkham for free
2. Itβs now a paid monthly service, and we decide to not pay
NEW: We just deployed $170M ETH with first-of-itβs-kind enhanced yield on @LineaBuild.
This combines native Ethereum yield, restaking rewards from @eigencloud and direct incentives from @LineaBuild and @ether_fi, all within an institutional-grade qualified custodian thanks to @Anchorage.
This is the most productive way to hold ETH with institutional-grade infrastructure. Thatβs the SharpLink edge.
