Decentralizing crypto infra @ellipfra | prev MakerDAO, @ChronicleLabs

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

Some personal news... my tenure at MakerDAO has come to an end. It is time for me explore new areas in the crypto space. 1/4

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

@TwentyTwoNode How is the international attendance this year?

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

Is Claude Code addictive, or am I just having fun at work again?

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

@mbaril010 They do that on purpose so you can give her your seat and be the hero of the day

[The Graph @graphprotocol]

Subgraph MCP is live 🔥

You can now query all Subgraph data via MCP - an addition to the recent Token API release.

This is a major unlock for:
✨ AI agents that need real-time smart contract data.
🔤 Natural language interfaces powered by Claude, Cursor, Cline & more
⚒️ Devs building dapps that involve onchain activity tracking
🔗 Data from dozens of new chains in a massive library of existing Subgraphs

Want to pull ENS records, liquidity pool data, token mappings, and anything else indexed via Subgraphs on The Graph?
Get started with the Subgraph MCP ⬇️

To me it’s obvious blockchains and smart contracts are central to this scenario.

An autonomous AI will hold its funds onchain, pay its server sustenance bill and bribe humans as necessary.

[Chris Anderson @chr1sa]

I've been trying to think how a true "AI takeoff" (as in AI escapes containment and pursues its own aims beyond our ability to control) could happen in the next three years and I don't see any way "embodied AI" (robots able to survive in the wild) will be ready by then.

So the only way it could work is if the AI can hack humans (social engineering) to do their bidding. That seems not only plausible but perhaps even likely. How do we harden humans against this?

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

@ollieonhere Don’t worry about it. French is my first language, and it’s happened to me several times while visiting France. Sometimes, they even keep insisting even when I respond in French

Tay disrespectors are ngmi

@teghnet It isn’t you???

🚨 DAI Security PSA for wallet providers, block explorers, and users. The L2 DAI deployer (0x075da589886BA445d7c7e81c472059dE7AE65250) for the DAI vanity address (0xDA10009cBd5D07dd0CeCc66161FC93D7c9000da1) has been compromised. (1/7)

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

It’s a good name, ngl

1 DAI = 1 USDS
1 MKR = 24,000 SKY

[Rune @RuneKek]

Sky is here! https://t.co/MTE5XbdURu

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

Not big on blocking, whether it's on X or anywhere else… echo chambers and all that, plus "know your enemy."

But I draw the line at obvious AI junk people are trying to pass off as real, especially when it's just rage bait. Can't block those leeches fast enough.

[Ellipfra @ellipfra]

🚀 We’ve hit a huge milestone: 1 billion GraphQL queries processed by Ellipfra on The @graphprotocol network in July!

As just one of many indexers, this milestone showcases The Graph's successful move to decentralization. Thanks to the Graph community and core teams!

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

@jimwavefive Wakes up. Saw your tweet. Brief panic. This can’t be. Looked at stack, relieved. Whew!

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

All this drama because the SEC decided to subpoena Do Kwon from Luna right in the middle of Selkis's conference back in 2021

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

Unpopular opinion:

Brussels is an excellent EthCC location with varied lodging and dining, numerous venues, walkable distances, easy flights, and friendly people. I didn't feel any danger, though some neighborhoods should be avoided (this is true everywhere)

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

@ImperiumPaper The reverse is true as well: if they use cheap or some sort of machine translation I’ll move on because it’s clear they cannot get their shit together

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

@ImperiumPaper None, but if there is a good professional French translation available, I take it as a bonus trust signal. That implies that the team running the front end got pretty far down the list of deliverables

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

Turning crypto into a political hot-button issue is a huge mistake. In Canada, a party leader made half-assed comments about crypto, which pushed the opposition to take a completely opposite stance, mocking him and ended up setting the local crypto scene back by five years.

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

Do you hear that? It's the sound of the crypto space shifting away from airdrops

[Marc-André Dumas @marcandu]

you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
