Nvidia will now pay you to put a mini AI data center on your house
It looks like a normal AC unit in the yard.
But inside sits 16 Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and Dell servers.
A startup called Span builds them, backed by Nvidia.
They bolt onto your home and you get paid for the power and Wi-Fi.
Some estimates put that around $1,000 a month in your pocket.
That is rent money just for hosting a box outside.
Span says it deploys way faster and cheaper than a real data center.
The AI boom is literally moving into the suburbs.
Save this, the grid is getting rebuilt in real time.
83% of defi "hacks" are access-control related.
This is a solvable problem.
Some things being worked on:
1. A new standard for secure execution
2. New primitives for redundancy
3. Expanding auditing surface areas and drift analysis
4. Transparency via live monitoring
5. Automated mechanisms i.e. circuit breakers
Along with several other large projects this is our major effort right now.
@mk4_lul but why?
security through obscurity isn't really a thing, this has been shown time and time again with unverified smart contracts
easy enough to be source available + restrictive license to disallow forking if that's the concern
@WazzCrypto actually a horrible take
large number of recent exploits have been private key/developer opsec related not smart contract exploits
the top protocols are pretty lindy and battle tested, some are formally verified and more of that is coming
The reaction to Ferrari’s first electric car is a reminder of why design matters.
Most people aren’t debating performance. They’re reacting emotionally.
“This doesn’t feel like Ferrari” actually means:
“This no longer feels like the thing I loved.”
Because the strongest brands don’t convince people to belong. They make people feel like they already do.
Ferrari just reminded creatives, in and outside of tech, of an important lesson we often forget:
Design moves people. Specs alone don’t.
And that applies to cars, fashion, and tech.
It might also explain why Abstract has such a strong core community.
The best brands build an unwritten DNA, one that makes users, builders, and partners feel like:
“I belong here.”
@AvgJoesCrypto@RAILGUN_Project Shielding should be free; charge on unshield only. Incentivizes people to keep funds shielded which is a win win for everyone.
@donnoh_eth@l2beat@LayerZero_Core@chainlink@wormhole@axelar@hyperlane Would also be very interesting to see TVS of these protocols as a comparison across all L1 anchored rollup canonical bridges as well - how much of the broad ETH ecosystem value is dependent on them versus canonical bridges.
