@lucycoulden Once upon a time a long time ago I signed up a DAO to the Zeitgeist court system. It worked as explained here https://t.co/WdSSHK6aNZ

@btchousebali @geyserfund @fedibtc @HRF @OpenSats @paystand @FBCEglobal I'm on my way there tonight regardless of the flood warnings

Ethereum Protocol Study Group for 2026 is finally announced!
Starting in less than a week, it took us a while to push out the announcement because we were preparing the biggest curriculum so far

The "There’s an app for that" era is officially over. 💀

We’ve reached Peak App Fatigue. Users don’t want to manage 50 different icons, subscriptions, and notification badges anymore.

They want outcomes, not interfaces.

So, why build apps at all?
Because the "App" is changing from a Destination to a Data Source.

The New Stack:
1. The User: Expresses intent (e.g., "Book a flight to NYC and find a gym nearby with a squat rack.")

2. The AI Agent: The new OS. It navigates the web so the user doesn't have to.

3. The App: The specialized "worker" that provides the API, the logic, and the specific utility the AI needs to fulfill the request.

We aren't building for human eyes anymore; we’re building for Machine Consumption. If your app doesn't have a robust API or "Agentic" compatibility, you aren't just losing users - you’re becoming invisible to the AI they use to run their lives.

The purpose of building an app today isn't to steal 10 minutes of screen time. It’s to provide the most reliable, permissionless infrastructure for an AI to get the job done. 🏗️🤖

Timely, everything will be about the sandbox. https://t.co/IrS0qav09g

"Less trust, more truth"

Truth:
- polkadot is transparent by default
- anon pools are redundant, better to bridge to zcash than get blacklisted
- confidential payments are what actually scale to trillions with real institutions

Slogans don’t ship adoption. Reality > rhetoric

Why does it always feel like Polkadot pivots are marketing theater? Remember last Sub0 when privacy was suddenly important yet Confidential Payments (ERC 7984) by OpenZeppelin wasn't chosen for AssetHub integration despite being designed for US FI: https://t.co/yhcP8bU3uT

[Optimus Time @peektism]

It's NOT enough to implement the functionality. It must exposed in the way that is expected by Ethereum standardized interfaces. Trying to push for these changes on AssetHub to make PolkaVM actually Ethereum
compatible: https://t.co/TiBiZTGkW1

[Optimus Time @peektism]

None of the above. Polkadot keeps making the same mistake: not prioritizing compatibility with Ethereum standards above all else. Will miss out on trillions of dollars moving on-chain this year with US Fl. Why always force custom solutions instead of aligning w/ global standards?

[Luke Schoen @ltfschoen]

@Web3foundation There's an issue with Polkadot Coretime that could lead to parachain churn. I considered writing a guide, but other Polkadot Ambassador Fellows say I'm too much bandwidth when I try to help improve things using our own manifesto and applicable laws

[Josep @Joseptec]

They just open-sourced the code: https://t.co/GBtPXoy4Db

22 commits over one week, 1 contributor. No smart contracts. No payment integration. No docs. No tests. Not even a README. Not a single interaction with Polkadot!

$225K from the treasury, paid directly to @Matjazs, for what looks like ~4 days of single-dev work.

[Luke Schoen @ltfschoen]

@CryptoCappex Thanks to @RegionXLabs for educating me about that in the early days of coretime

[Luke Schoen @ltfschoen]

@CryptoCappex Sometimes it's cheaper manually burn existing core assigned to paraid and manually buy brand new core and assign/renew new core instead of manual or automatic renewal of existing core assigned to it - if the cost of buying a new core is cheaper than renewing an existing core

See you in Mumbai next year.

@GldnCalf They've already got demo electric recliner chairs. Fix airports instead.

@GldnCalf Is this an example of requesting comment back in the old old days? https://t.co/UjLrl6GNva

[Birdo @itsbirdo_]

Is it normal to pay sign on bonuses to people to become curators? Asking for a fren

Ranging from 200-500 DOT 🤨

@giottodf I liked it a with multiple accounts to help them reach 1k impressions, hope that helps them achieve their KPIs

They've recently discovered only through luck in late 2025 that Australia has allegedly been importing children's play sand products from China without adequate border screening and quality control since the start of the covid pandemic in 2020 that were laced with asbestos despite vast quantities of sand being available locally. This could potentially affect a proportion of its 2.6 million children aged under 8 with asbestos-related diseases that might start surfacing from ~2035. What else have they missed? Australia needs to prioritise redirecting some of its massive defense budget of ~$50 billion per year to close this catastrophic gap in basic border screening for children's products (rather than just focusing on submarines and missiles):
- Mandatory comprehensive testing of all imported children's products
- Domestic manufacturing of basic items like children's play sand
- Regulatory reform to closing regulatory gaps that put kids at risk from everyday products to prevent reoccurrence
- Full disclosure of the distribution scope, independent verification of fiber types, and creation of a long-term health monitoring registry for children exposed to that imported children's sand

EPF Day is the culmination of the sixth cohort of the Ethereum Protocol Fellowship. Fellows worked on some amazing projects. Tune in to see what they've been working on.
