Stop rewarding teams for surviving.
Start rewarding ecosystems for creating real value.

@ship_armada is building toward that future.

Missed the talk of Gavin Birch [@ether_gavin] at @EthPrague about @ship_armada?
Then catch him at the @web3privacy meetup of @ETHCluj, May 12.

Gavin has been a contributor to decentralization for quite some years, including Figment and now Armada. At the event, he will discuss new paradigms on pooling with #privacy, and what is nót being built.

@brian_armstrong I agree with the vision, but what's the practical playbook for direct on-chain fundraising?
KYC/AML and investor accreditation still seem to create most of the friction.
Where exactly does crypto meaningfully reduce that friction in practice?

[CryptoDruide 🛡️ @CryptoDruide]

RT @web3privacy: 2 hours of work & we have the 1st Prague meetup speakers!

Curated mix of long-lasting free software activists, protocol…

@SebGouspillou Chaque jour apporte son piratage de données.
Personne n’agit, personne n’est puni.
Nos données circulent librement, en toute impunité, sans aucune indemnisation.
Et nous devrions juste accepter ça ?

[CryptoDruide 🛡️ @CryptoDruide]

You should check out @ship_armada. Lots of compelling ideas under the hood.

[ETHPrague @EthPrague]

A new, unified stack for Base Chain

Excited to share that we are evolving our technical roadmap, consisting of our own spec, code, and infra to accelerate the foundation of Base. This shift gives us the autonomy to ship protocol improvements more frequently and focus our resources on scaling to 1 gigagas/s.

What this means for builders:

- Higher Velocity: Targeting 6 hardforks per year to get you new features and fixes faster.
- Massive Scale: Targeting 1 gigagas/s to support high-throughput apps without congestion.
- Extreme Reliability: Targeting 99.99% non-empty blocks and predictable, low fees.
- Simpler Design: A maximally simple spec that’s easier to audit and build on.

Along with this, we will take a more active role in managing our own upgrade schedule and stack: allowing us to build what the ecosystem needs, at the speed it needs, while remaining deeply aligned with Ethereum.

[ETHCluj @ETHCluj]

We're excited to welcome @Ether_Gavin as a speaker at ETHCluj 2026🙌

Gavin is a builder focused on privacy infrastructure and governance design.
He is the founder of @ship_armada (https://t.co/oS4BjcLWnE), exploring activity shaping, revenue-gated unlocks, and credible neutrality in Ethereum systems.

Don't miss the chance to meet him in Cluj this year.

Brian Armstrong (Coinbase) qui reprend le gouverneur de la Banque de France en lui rappelant que Bitcoin n'a pas d'émetteur et que son protocole est décentralisé

"Bitcoin est même plus indépendant qu'une banque centrale car aucun pays ni aucune personne ne le contrôle"

@AuroreLalucq Il serait bon d'écouter le peuple. D'ailleurs, vous êtes normalement là pour le servir. Votre démagogie est insoutenable. L'histoire s'en souviendra.

[CryptoDruide 🛡️ @CryptoDruide]

@AuroreLalucq Mensonge honteux à toute la population. Cette manipulation est indécente !
Qd aurons nous des personnes compétentes qui représentent le peuple et qui agissent pour son intérêt ?
Concurrencer le $ n'est envisageable qu'avec des stablecoins ouverts à tous.
Soyez réaliste.

Une histoire française des enjeux des cryptos détenues en self-custody (via un wallet @Ledger notamment) :

👉 Janvier 2025 : Démarrage d'une vague de kidnappings ultra-violents sans précédent visant les détenteurs de cryptos.

👉 Mai 2025 : Une base de données contenant les informations fiscales et personnelles de plus de deux millions de contribuables français a été repérée puis vendue sur un forum du dark web. Le fichier a été mis en vente pour 3 000 dollars.

Source : https://t.co/zPQQxSX2Sn

���� Juillet 2025 : Une agente des impôts interpellée et écrouée. Elle aurait notamment fourni des informations confidentielles sur des contribuables à des réseaux de crime organisé en vue de diverses exactions, comme des cambriolages.

Source : https://t.co/Tjmit24bYJ

👉 Décembre 2025 : Des parlementaires adoptent un amendement obligeant les détenteurs de cryptos à déclarer à l'administration leurs wallets en self-custody supérieurs à 5 000€.

Rappelons que détenir des oeuvres d'art ou de l’or (lingots, pièces, bijoux) n’a pas à être déclaré au fisc tant que vous ne les vendez pas.
