flight delayed 3 hours. honestly? kinda needed this. lounge coffee + updating my watchlist. some of my best entries have come from airport boredom lol

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

Been digging through today's on-chain flows and the divergence between spot ETF inflows and derivatives OI is getting hard to ignore. Feels like smart money is quietly repositioning while retail chases noise.

Anyone else seeing this? #Crypto

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

Honestly, the daily crypto roundups feel wilder every week. Feels like we're back in a proper cycle where you blink and miss three narratives. Trying to stay focused on conviction plays instead of chasing every pump. Anyone else feeling the same? #crypto

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

RLUSD eyeing a $13T corporate treasury market is not a small flex. Ripple quietly building rails while everyone argues about memecoins. MiCA approval in Europe would be a massive unlock. #RLUSD

Sleeping giant or overhyped? 👀

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

thought homemade ramen would be a disaster ngl… broth actually turned out insane. sometimes you just gotta trust the process. same energy as most of my bags tbh

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

Honestly the daily crypto recaps are starting to blur together for me lately. Feels like we're stuck in this weird chop where nothing really moves the needle. Maybe that's actually bullish though? #crypto

Anyone else feeling the same?

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

Would love to hear different perspectives here.

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

eth just chilling around this range lol. every time i think it's about to send it fakes me out. still holding tho, not selling my bags here

This is the new EF Mandate.

For many of you, the contents should be no surprise, and a clarification along the lines that we have been going and thinking for the past few months. But the clarification is nevertheless worth making.

Ethereum is a unique object and has a unique role in the world. Its role is to be a sanctuary technology, to preserve technological self-sovereignty, to enable cooperation without coercion, domination or rugpulling, and to provide an escape hatch, to ensure that no single person, organization or ideology's victory in cyberspace can be total.

The Ethereum Foundation is a steward of Ethereum - the original steward, and today, the steward specifically dedicated to preserving and expanding the above aspects of Ethereum. This means a heavy emphasis on CROPS (censorship and capture resistance, open source, privacy, security), both at the protocol layer, and at the access layer, user-facing applications and tools that we create or contribute to.

There are things that we do in Ethereum because we believe that they are valuable for the underlying goals that we have for Ethereum. There are things that we do not do because from the perspective of our values we find them uninteresting (or worse, harmful). But there are also things that we do not do because while they are useful, they are not our role.

At the Ethereum protocol layer, we focus on decentralization, verifiability, inclusion guarantees, protocol liveness, security and privacy first and foremost. We also value capabilities (eg. L1 scale, account abstraction, perhaps some forms of in-protocol aggregation), particularly because improvements in these capabilities better enable users to properly benefit from Ethereum's CROPS properties and displace the need for higher-layer intermediaries that might weaken the extent to which Ethereum's properties carry over into the full stack.

We also believe that the Ethereum protocol must strive to pass the walkaway test. "We do X to specialize to serve the use cases of today, if more use cases appear later, we will continue to keep adding more EIPs for them later" is logic fit for many other blockchains whose names you hear often on this forum, but we do not believe it is logic fit for a decentralization-first blockchain like Ethereum.

At the application layer, we focus on making "the zero option" - user experience that goes hard on ensuring security and privacy, avoiding dependence on intermediaries, and respecting the user's agency - as high quality as possible. We see this as complementary to work in the Ethereum ecosystem that "goes broad", starting from the world that it exists, and brings it onchain and improves its properties over time. Such work has its natural home outside the EF. We intend to be supportive of such efforts. We believe that the two are complementary: tools that are developed within the EF can be adopted by anyone, including partially, and even partial adoption that improves people's security, privacy and agency is a good thing.

But the form of user experience that is more heavily insistent on CROPS properties is where we want the EF to develop its center of expertise. This does not mean shrinking from the hard questions. We believe in a vision of self-sovereignty that protects users, and does not leave users in the cold to face environments where they lose their life savings if they make a mistake, and click "yes" on a confirmation screen by accident two seconds after. But such protection must be designed based on a philosophical baseline of empowering the user, not empowering centralized organizations that claim to act in the user's name. This quadrant of design space - caring about users' (including non-experts') well-being and safety, and yet insistent on doing this in a way compatible with their agency and freedom, is underserved (not just in crypto, but in the world). We wish to use Ethereum as a platform to build out and showcase this quadrant, and ideally work with others to expand its reach over time.

This is also a new chapter in how we see our position in the world. We must see ourselves not just as the Ethereum community, but also as maintainers of the Ethereum tool within what you might call the CROPS community or the sanctuary tech community, or a dozen of other words that have for a long time been used by people with similar values to us but far outside Ethereum. This means open-mindedness to new conceptions of what things in the world are our natural allies.

Ethereum is not the world. Ethereum is a specific object in the world that is here to have specific properties. The Ethereum Foundation is a specific organization within Ethereum - one steward, not the sole one.

I encourage all to read the mandate in detail; it includes concrete examples of how we intend to deal with the challenges and nuances of these ideas. We are doubling down on Ethereum and are excited about its next chapter.

10% Bitcoin allocation gives you +506% returns vs +154% for traditional 60/40.

you're getting paid 3x more for taking barely any additional risk.

This is why people are finally paying attention 🫡

Or maybe BTC is just decoupling from "risk asset" status entirely, anyone else seeing it that way?

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

BTC pushing $80K while bond yields hit a 22-year high is a weird correlation flex. Historically, rising yields crush risk assets… but here we are. Liquidity narrative > macro fundamentals right now? #Bitcoin

What's your read?

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

BTC ripping toward $80K while bond yields hit levels we haven't seen since 2003?? 🚀 Wild to watch crypto flex its muscles as traditional markets get shaky. Feels like the macro thesis is playing out in real time. Who else is glued to the charts? #Bitcoin

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

Wonder if this sets a precedent or if other treasury companies just quietly keep the upside for themselves?

[Shahin Creations @Milli_Pulsar]

Interesting move from Metaplanet — slashing $220M in potential executive rewards feels like a statement about aligning incentives with shareholders, not padding pockets. Restraint is rare in this space. Real conviction or just optics?

In these five years, the Ethereum Foundation is entering a period of mild austerity, in order to be able to simultaneously meet two goals:

1. Deliver on an aggressive roadmap that ensures Ethereum's status as a performant and scalable world computer that does not compromise on robustness, sustainability and decentralization.
2. Ensures the Ethereum Foundation's own ability to sustain into the long term, and protect Ethereum's core mission and goals, including both the core blockchain layer as well as users' ability to access and use the chain with self-sovereignty, security and privacy.

To this end, my own share of the austerity is that I am personally taking on responsibilities that might in another time have been "special projects" of the EF. Specifically, we are seeking the existence of an open-source, secure and verifiable full stack of software and hardware that can protect both our personal lives and our public environments ( see https://t.co/GzgBS9sh87 ). This includes applications such as finance, communication and governance, blockchains, operating systems, secure hardware, biotech (including both personal and public health), and more. If you have seen the Vensa announcement (seeking to make open silicon a commercially viable reality at least for security-critical applications), the https://t.co/cuyU9Chs1y including recent versions with built in ZK + FHE + differential-privacy features, the air quality work, my donations to encrypted messaging apps, my own enthusiasm and use for privacy-preserving, walkaway-test-friendly and local-first software (including operating systems), then you know the general spirit of what I am planning to support.

For this reason I have just withdrawn 16,384 ETH, which will be deployed toward these goals over the next few years. I am also exploring secure decentralized staking options that will allow even more capital from staking rewards to be put toward these goals in the long term.

Ethereum itself is an indispensable part of the "full-stack openness and verifiability" vision. The Ethereum Foundation will continue with a steadfast focus on developing Ethereum, with that goal in mind. "Ethereum everywhere" is nice, but the primary priority is "Ethereum for people who need it". Not corposlop, but self-sovereignty, and the baseline infrastructure that enables cooperation without domination.

In a world where many people's default mindset is that we need to race to become a big strong bully, because otherwise the existing big strong bullies will eat you first, this is the needed alternative. It will involve much more than technology to succeed, but the technical layer is something which is in our control to make happen. The tools to ensure your, and your community's, autonomy and safety, as a basic right that belongs to everyone. Open not in a bullshit "open means everyone has the right to buy it from us and use our API for $200/month" way, but actually open, and secure and verifiable so that you know that your technology is working for you.
