Exploring Mumbai before Devcon? 👀
@not_qz created a interactive map to discover the city, the venue, and some iconic spots around Mumbai 👏
so creative, thanks for making this!
Wallet drainers just got deadly efficient.
Smart accounts made draining faster and easier to miss.
Here's the first real example I've seen and how to protect yourself. 🧵
Last week I travelled to the North Pole to film 100 core developers building Ethereum.
But there was a twist...
They had 5 days to build the first devnet for Glamsterdam, Ethereum’s next major upgrade, helping secure a $500 billion network.
It was the most magical experience of my life.
I’ve never experienced energy like it.
It very quickly became, to me, the ultimate hackathon.
With the stakes of Ethereum’s uptime.
But how does anything stay together when no one is in charge?
At one point @TimBeiko said: “we're about to turn 1 month of async work into 1 day”...
From 4am technical drama (shit gets hot),
To the most beautiful coordination between client teams,
All the way to people really explaining why they do this.
These are THE heroes you’ve never heard of.
This is about the people keeping Ethereum alive.
This is THE story.
The people who have put a decade of work into Ethereum’s uptime.
Full documentary coming soon.
I’m excited to announce that Drew Security was accepted into the @thedaofund x @Giveth round for security on Ethereum.

If you have found my posts, work, and assistance valuable, please consider supporting. This donation round has a 500 ETH matching pool, so any amount helps. This round is quadratic funding, so more donations with smaller amounts are actually worth more due to the matching pool:
Example: $5 donation = ~$1K matched
Even $5 can make a difference in a quadratic funding round ($5 minimum for quadratic funding matching), since more contributors means more impact. The round ends May 14th.
It’s such an honor to be accepted and recognized for the work my team and I do for Ethereum security through Drew Security, I’m ecstatic!!!
Any funds donated will help Drew Security continue providing free or subsidized security education, security guidelines, security bots, and security frameworks for Ethereum and EVM.
Thank you for your consideration and support. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this post means a ton!!

Smooth outperformed solo staking by 78% last year... and I almost killed it 💀💀
I was very proud of it when we released: we helped solo stakers get access to MEV opportunities.
But heavy fees and absurd MEV are largely "solved" in Ethereum mainnet rn.
Then 2 things happened:
There is a very possible timeline where Ethereum becomes quantum resistant before the centralised financial system does.
Ethereum will be the global quantum-resistant settlement layer for all types of value.

How did we end up polling on Discord for Nepal’s next leader? Here’s a rundown:
tldr; Nepali government was overthrown in 48 hours and I think i just witnessed the first internet native revolution.
Over two decades ago, Nepali citizens overthrew the Monarchy to establish a multiparty democracy hoping for a better future. However, two decades later, the leaders of three major democratic parties, who overthrew the monarchy, were still fighting for power and greed.
They went from no slippers on their feet to living in lavish mansions, but the common men were still poor, with no sign of improvements.
However, something changed from around late 2010s. People who relied on national TV and radio for their information started getting wide access to internet. People could see every mishaps these politicians made in real time, every frustrated candid stories of every Nepali citizens, and the rapid development of every other country that used to be on a similar level to Nepal. Frustration started accumulating rapidly among people, all enabled by the internet.
Fast forward to around August 2025, Nepali youths, frustrated by the corruption and incompetencies of the government, started a trend on TikTok called "Nepo Babies" where they created reels comparing the lavish lifestyle of politicians' kids with common citizens of Nepal who couldn't even afford a proper restaurant meal.
This exposé got widespread traction on TikTok and Instagram, which infuriated all the citizens of Nepal who had already lost hope from the current politicians. Everyone started cyberbullying their kids for their lifestyle.
Coincidentally, Nepali government imposed a ban on almost all major social media sites on September 4th 2025 saying they need to register their entities in Nepal and follow a strict content moderation rule imposed by the government, which obviously, these sites declined to.
The problem is over 20% population of Nepal resides outside the country and suddenly they had no proper way to communicate with their relatives back home. This lack of empathy, combined by the suspicious timing around the rise of nepo baby trend and a long standing disappointment in the current establishment was too much for everyone.
Suddenly, on September 5th, a call for a peaceful protest on September 8th started circulating on TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Instagram, etc.
What’s interesting is, this was a decentralized protest, all organized via internet without any central figure. Since it was organized collectively by youths on internet, this protest was given the title of “Gen-Z protest.”
A huge 12,000+ mass appeared on September 8th protest. It started peaceful, but things suddenly got violent. The government gave an order to shoot which led to the death of 20+ people and 300+ injuries by end of the day. Gut wrenching pictures and videos from the protest started floating on internet which led to a widespread outrage against the police and the government.
Later that night, Government gave a very lackluster and apathetic response to such a devastating situation. With this, peace wasn’t an option anymore.
Reddit, Discord, and TikTok was filled with rage and call for revenge on September 9th. People started sharing tutorials on how to create a Molotov cocktail, how to disarm tear gas, etc. This felt like the heat of the moment, but no one expected what was about to come the next day.
Next day, everyone from every part of country started coming out of their houses and protesting against the government. Around early afternoon, news started circulating on internet that a big group was headed towards the house of the Prime Minister. Then another group headed towards another big politician, then another, then another. All of their houses were burnt.
Internet facilitated a realtime coordination for mimetic actions across the nation. This is why “burn their mansions” became the trend for the day within a couple hours across the country. Police force, who were already demoralized from last day’s actions and reactions, showed little resistance on this day.
Almost every major politician’s house was burnt, and many politicians were even beaten brutally by the crowd, on streets, on rivers, and in their mansions.
I was on Reddit and Discord all day. It truly felt like dropping at a warzone where everyone is coordinating attacks, sharing real time updates, and even telling which locations to avoid, etc. By late afternoon, the prime minister resigned and took refuge under the army alongside many other politicians. Army took control for security later that night and wanted to host negotiations with the protestors.
The problem was, there was no representative for the protest. It was all a collective decentralized effort. So people started discussing and polling on Discord and Reddit on who should represent the protestors and who they should nominate as their future leader.
It’s been a chaotic effort (who knew decentralization would be chaotic), but they’ve finally agreed upon who they want to nominate. Discussion between Army, the President, and the protestors is still ongoing, but it’s almost guaranteed now that the leader nominated by the Discord polls will take the position within a couple days.
It was an unfortunate event where many things went wrong and the destruction pushed Nepal back by years, but the sequence of events were very unique, where almost everything originated and accumulated from the internet. The dissatisfaction accumulated for years on internet, and suddenly in two days, the government was overthrown, all coordinated via Internet with no central figure. In many ways, the protest happened on the internet for years, but the government didn’t listen.
I suspect this pattern will emerge across many other countries now that the world has seen what’s possible. The Network State is becoming a real thing.
Over time, a lot of crypto natives seem to forget that the goal of investing is to increase your quality of life - not to put your life on pause until you "make it".
"Making it" is different for everyone, but the common path that people try to follow is: hit some arbitrary portfolio goal, cash out, buy all the things they've dreamed of having, and then finally start "living".
The problem with this strategy is before you know it, 5 years have passed, you've rotted your brain from spending every day doomscrolling CT and watching charts, you've sacrificed lots of time doing nothing important and your mental health is on the floor.
And by the time you eventually cash out, you most likely didn't hit the arbitrary portfolio goal that you set and this actually makes you even more upset. Then you realise how much time you wasted trying to hit an arbitrary goal and you start spiraling with regret.
Money can free up your time, but it cannot buy you more time. There's no point wasting your time waiting to hit some portfolio goal if that becomes your whole life. You need to live outside of your bags. You need to appreciate life outside of money.
So get busy living, my friends.
The largest Fusaka devnet is now being geared up!
@testinprod_io and @base, who have been putting efforts to L2 scaling by contributing PeerDAS as a part of @Optimism Collective, are now teaming up with @ethPandaOps to run the biggest devnet in the history.
The Roadmap for @LineaBuild is MAX BULLISH and it also reveals that the $LINEA TGE + Airdrop is 100% in Q3.
Here’s how Linea is about to rewrite the L2 game.👇
Q3 2025 → Burn Mechanism 🔥
You need $LINEA for this mechanism to work.
- 100% gas fees burned: 20% ETH + 80% $LINEA
- ETH burn = Ethereum alignment
- $LINEA burn = shrinking supply → scarcity
Q4 2025 → Native Yield 💰
This is might become a magnet to attract big players because
- Yield flows into DeFi & ecosystem incentives.
- Boosts liquidity, rewards active DeFi users.
- Fuels sustainable growth instead of idle holding.
Q1 2026 → Type-1 zkEVM 🛠️
This is the most bullish thing imo
- Full bytecode-level Ethereum compatibility.
- Can snarkify Ethereum → instant, trustless bridging & L1 tooling support.
- Endgame Ethereum alignment.
🔥 Scarcity + Liquidity + Ethereum-level tech all in one roadmap.
++ MetaDEX @etherexfi is truly a whale magnet, It's going to attract a lot of whales who are tired of the Lockups and extraction. Etherex solves this problem with x(3,3) tech. REX33 is coming and the TVL is already > $100M.
Big picture?
Founder @ethereumJoseph (also chairman of @sharplink / $SBET) is already in multi-billion ETH buys and will raise another 5 billion to buy more ETH. They and probably other ETH Treasury companies will bridge their ETH to Linea. BINGO
No other L2s have this combo rn and even if some decided to copy Linea, great Ethereum wins. @DeclanFox14 said that btw.
Linea was built to make that happen, The ideal Ethereum L2.
This isn’t just bullish for Linea.
It’s bullish for ETH itself.
Retweet to Spread the word.
Believe in someETHing.
the eth core devs don’t tweet a lot about just how hard the work that they do is so let’s talk about it:
1. every line of code they merge can move more money than most banks process in a quarter. there is no staging server for that.
2. they swap consensus logic for a 400B + dollar economy without scheduling downtime. ever.
3. they coordinate hundreds of researchers, auditors, and client teams across time zones, cultures, and philosophies, yet ship like a single mind.
4. they do it all in public, with every decision dissected by the loudest peanut gallery on the internet, and still keep the vibe collaborative.
5. they design for attackers who have nine figure incentives and infinite patience. then they sleep anyway.
6. they keep six independent clients in perfect sync so the same block lives at the same height for every node in the world.
7. they turn bleeding edge research into production code while preserving backwards compatibility for machines that went online before defi even had a name.
8. they debug issues that only happen once a year on a single archive node because someone somewhere will rely on that edge case.
9. they write cryptography that must stay unbroken for decades while the math itself evolves beneath their feet.
10.when the upgrade lands smooth the outside world shrugs. inside ethereum we know it was a minor miracle. every successful fork proves that decentralized coordination can outperform the world’s best hierarchies and shows that open internet capital markets are now the default.
thank you, truly.
we owe you everything.
Glamsterdam may be getting some attention (it is a fork for Q1/Q2 2026). In the meantime, we should be more concerned about any potential delays to Fusaka (Q4 2025). As I have said many times, no amount of talking about Ethereum's roadmap and vision matters if we cannot achieve coordination levels that consistently meet goals on schedule. I know that some extremely talented people are now working on resolving the issues that caused teams to suggest moving the dates. I would love to see a broad agreement that the timelines matter a lot. A lot.
A new decentralized exchange on Ethereum layer-2 network @LineaBuild, @etherexfi, aims to fulfill the original promise of ETH DEXs. Here's how: https://t.co/1s6HS002Kt
