Thank you to everyone who has donated to Firefly in the Ethereum Security QF round on @Giveth!
There is still 1 day left to donate before the round closes if you want to support our mission of building an accessible, open source hardware wallet ✨

@AlexSlobodnik@ValidatorEth those early years were so important in seeding an ecosystem of ENS builders and your leadership was instrumental in getting things to where they are today. congrats on an epic run!
@PabloSabbatella@donnoh_eth Agree that 9/12 to execute is too demanding. ZKsync Security Council accounts for this with a 12 hour "soft freeze" that can be executed with 3/12, giving enough time to assess next steps (emergency upgrade or 7 day "hard freeze").
Excited to share my conversation with @PatrickAlphaC, co-founder and CEO of @cyfrin, the team behind @CyfrinUpdraft (one of the best educational resources in Ethereum).
We cover Patrick's hardware wallet side-quest (sorry for talking about hardware wallets for too long!), why crypto is a better system than tradfi, the importance of OSS, and viewing education as positive-sum.

Over the past several years, Future Alisha has produced a body of content exclusively focused on Ethereum and its builders — podcasts, Twitter Spaces, and live demos — always with the same intention: to humanize Ethereum by highlighting the people behind the projects, and the values that orient their work and worldview. With Epoch 9, Alisha wants to create a new season of the pod.
