The repricing has a structure worth naming: the 35% doesn't compress uniformly. The verification share — most of it — collapses to protocol cost: machine-schedule checks against attestations. What survives is granting revocable trust: ceremony, scrutiny, a fiduciary who can be held accountable. That part stays on human schedules — a feature, not a lag — and it's where the appreciating value of verified trust concentrates.
Revocability is the hinge that makes the split safe. Authority should be slow to grant and instant to revoke — one transaction, and every surface that checks the attestation goes dark. The deepfake-CFO wire failed because one spoofable human was the grant, the verification, and there was no kill lever. The fix isn't faster humans or slower AI — it's splitting the layers and making revocation the lowest-friction path in the system.
@TziokasV On point! Decentralized, attested, authentication is a mouthful .. but it is the foundation of a secure, private, trustless, proven world. AI fakes and hacks will make this proof of reality vital. No many are talking about this.
Signal vs Simulation.
This is the AI war over reality.
1. First Inch: Where an atom is read as a bit.
2. Provenance: The mathematical record minted in the First Inch.
3. Ethereum: The immutable ledger of Provenance.
Decentralized, authenticated Provenance. Nothing else wins.
@godofprompt This seems valid .. essentially recursion toward proof of Trust. Given tokenized source materials, recursion will yield a solution proven via source material “weight”. Perhaps cites a la Google?
After discovering Beads only earlier this week, there’s a sequel to it called “Gas Town.” ⛽️
What a perfect New Year’s gift! 🎁
Thanks, @Steve_Yegge! 🙏🏼
I will definitely give it a try soon while learning tmux on the go. 😅

@Alexevmyots@Brainfreeze1010@brian_armstrong@VitalikButerin Trusted interactions between AI and real world operating equipment. Attestation and proof of real world actions will become crucial as AI blurs the line between cause and effect in a simulation .. and actions in the physical world. See Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS).
@laurashin was on target questioning the foundational risks of connected L2 operations. L2s are centralized for speed and inherently risky. Interop doesn’t solve this. In fact, it links transactions in such a way that they are only as strong as the weakest link. Complex cross-chain transactions could create cascading failure due to one broken L2 operation.
L2s trade on the Ethereum brand without the decentralized foundation. L1 is slow and expensive. But isn’t finality worth a lot? I get there needs to be an answer to $SOL but wrapping the same centralized risks into $ETH for scale inherits the same things we complain about re:SOL.
It sounds ranty .. but it’s true. Maybe EIL will buy time to scale true L1 in a different way. But it doesn’t feel like right to wrap risks together and call them safer. Faster, composable but not L1 safe.
@foley2k2@zanehengsperger Yeah .. this has always been a mystery to me. You need 100% collateral for an SBA loan. But the SBA loses billions a year to defaults. What am I missing?
@motypes Code and device authentication + provenance for data is an Ethereum super-power. Bigger than companies or governments. Trust is the USP. EAS is also an under-appreciated service.
