Welcome to 2026! Milady is back.

Ethereum did a lot in 2025: gas limits increased, blob count increased, node software quality improved, zkEVMs blasted through their performance milestones, and with zkEVMs and PeerDAS ethereum made its largest step toward being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of blockchain (more on this later)

But we have a challenge: Ethereum needs to do more to meet its own stated goals. Not the quest of "winning the next meta" regardless of whether it's tokenized dollars or political memecoins, not arbitrarily convincing people to help us fill up blockspace to make ETH ultrasound again, but the mission:

To build the world computer that serves as a central infrastructure piece of a more free and open internet.

We're building decentralized applications. Applications that run without fraud, censorship or third-party interference. Applications that pass the walkaway test: they keep running even if the original developers disappear. Applications where if you're a user, you don't even notice if Cloudflare goes down - or even if all of Cloudflare gets hacked by North Korea. Applications whose stability transcends the rise and fall of companies, ideologies and political parties. And applications that protect your privacy. All this - for finance, and also for identity, governance and whatever other civilizational infrastructure people want to build.

These properties sound radical, but we must remember that a generation ago any wallet, kitchen appliance, book or car would fulfill every single one of them. Today, all of the above are by default becoming subscription services, consigning you to permanent dependence on some centralized overlord.

Ethereum is the rebellion against this.

To achieve this, it needs to be (i) usable, and usable at scale, and (ii) actually decentralized. This needs to happen at both (a) the blockchain layer, including the software we use to run and talk to the blockchain, and (b) the application layer. All of these pieces must be improved - they are already being improved, but they must be improved more.

Fortunately, we have powerful tools on our side - but we need to apply them, and we will.

Wishing everyone an exciting 2026.

Milady.

@deptulahasrage BYU v TT was 13-7 when BYU got the ball with 4:44 left in the 3rd quarter...

[jd @josephdcook]

Honestly, Notre Dame should be worried.

BYU is a 12-point underdog this week and odds are they will get their 2nd top-5 loss of the season.

That 2nd good loss is the one thing ND has that BYU doesn't and the committee won't have that to lean on anymore.

[jd @josephdcook]

@AriWasserman Ari - what if BYU loses a close game, say 4 pts or less?

Do they finally get rewarded with that "close loss to a top team" that seems to be keeping ND ahead of them?

Those 2 losses seems to be the best thing on ND's resume and its tough BYU hasn't been able to match

[jd @josephdcook]

@vincent_elric @RGIII @BYUfootball @OuttaPocketRG3 @Gretegiii BYU beat 2 teams (Utah, Arizona) better than the two teams (SMU, Louisville) Miami LOST to

Against SP+ Top 50:
BYU 7-1
Miami 4-2
ND 2-2

BYU played more games, won more games, and lost fewer games against teams good enough to beat a top 25 team

[jd @josephdcook]

@LeBatardShow @jeremytache Dan making the point for BYU on accident is good stuff.

Miami fans want you to not make it about just one (or two) games and then will say they deserve it over BYU because of one game... against a top 5 team 😂

Against SP+ Top 50:
BYU 7-1
Miami 4-2

[jd @josephdcook]

@CodyCarpentier Against SP+ top 50 teams:

BYU 7-1
Bama 6-2
Miami 4-2
ND 2-2
Texas 3-2 (another loss to team outside top 50, went to OT against two other teams outside top 50)

That *should* be the order of their rankings. Wild that it's not.

@PumpHustler @machinedex @peaq @silencioNetwork @AukiNetwork @OVRtheReality Your liquidity position has a range with a lower price and upper price current price has moved outside of that range. So at the moment you are not providing active liquidity for volume on that pool
