仓位还没平，BitMEX 先宣布谢幕了。
Farewell, BitMEX.

[BitMEX @BitMEX]

It may not look the same today, but we are proud of our 11+ year legacy and the role we played in shaping the crypto industry. We invented the 100x leverage perpetual swap, which for most of you, was the first step to your crypto trading journey.

And we remain proud of our robust security infrastructure, which has allowed us to maintain a flawless track record of 0 customer funds lost to hacks in our entire operating history.

Now that ZKEVMs are at alpha stage (production-quality performance, remaining work is safety) and PeerDAS is live on mainnet, it's time to talk more about what this combination means for Ethereum.

These are not minor improvements; they are shifting Ethereum into being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network.

To see why, let's look at the two major types of p2p network so far:

BitTorrent (2000): huge total bandwidth, highly decentralized, no consensus

Bitcoin (2009): highly decentralized, consensus, but low bandwidth - because it’s not “distributed” in the sense of work being split up, it’s *replicated*

Now, Ethereum with PeerDAS (2025) and ZK-EVMs (expect small portions of the network using it in 2026), we get: decentralized, consensus and high bandwidth

The trilemma has been solved - not on paper, but with live running code, of which one half (data availability sampling) is *on mainnet today*, and the other half (ZK-EVMs) is *production-quality on performance today* - safety is what remains.

This was a 10-year journey (see the first commit of my original post on DAS here: https://t.co/Fa0jKFgObW , and ZK-EVM attempts started in ~2020), but it's finally here.

Over the next ~4 years, expect to see the full extent of this vision roll out:

* In 2026, large non-ZKEVM-dependent gas limit increases due to BALs and ePBS, and we'll see the first opportunities to run a ZKEVM node
* In 2026-28, gas repricings, changes to state structure, exec payload going into blobs, and other adjustments to make higher gas limits safe
* In 2027-30, large further gas limit increases, as ZKEVM becomes the primary way to validate blocks on the network

A third piece of this is distributed block building.

A long-term ideal holy grail is to get to a future where the full block is *never* constituted in one single place. This will not be necessary for a long time, but IMO it is worth striving for us at least have the capability to do that.

Even before that point, we want the meaningful authority in block building to be as distributed as possible. This can be done either in-protocol (eg. maybe we figure out how to expand FOCIL to make it a primary channel for txs), or out-of-protocol with distributed builder marketplaces. This reduces risk of centralized interference with real-time transaction inclusion, AND it creates a better environment for geographical fairness.

Onward.

Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.

Make these habits. Say no to everything else.

Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.

Relax. Victory is assured.

Happy Bitcoin $100k day.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

If you bought $100 of Bitcoin when Coinbase was founded in June 2012, it would now be worth about $1,500,000.

If you kept the $100 USD you'd only be able to purchase about $73 worth of goods today.

Bitcoin is the best performing asset of the last 12 years, and it's still early days.

Every government, especially those looking to create a hedge against inflation, should create a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

Happy Bitcoin $100k day.

市值前100名项目里的MEME板块总市值已经达到1100亿美元，其中 $DOGE $SHIB 占了70%，其他11个占30%。真的是应了那句话，价值投资一场空，梭哈MEME住皇宫。

这些MEME币加起来市值都超过SOL了，到底是喜还是悲？会不会继续PVP下去整体涨5倍超过ETH？还是说这个周期一个 $DOGE 就能把SOL彻底干掉？虽然整体这么猛，但比特币的市值占比率依然没啥变化，想要撼动这个占比，需要的是以太坊和山寨币共同起飞，而不只是MEME币，所以现在严格意义上还不算是山寨季，只是MEME盛宴罢了~

目前没看到ETH强势迹象，所以真正意义的普涨或许仍需时日。希望V神 @VitalikButerin 早点硬起来吧
