Seriously - WATCH ALL OF THIS! 🔥🔥👇🏼

“We got people literally camping in the streets, crying, lightning candles, holding signs, getting f*cking arrested, doing the most for people who broke into this country illegally, but when it comes to American veterans sleeping under the bridges, suddenly there’s not even a f*cking thought.”

“Y’all will shut down traffic for someone who hopped the fence, but won’t block a single street for the Marine who hopped on the f*cking grenade and came home invisible. And you weird a** politicians love to say we don’t have the money, but somehow there’s always enough money for people who aren’t f*cking citizens. That’s not a lack of funds, that’s a choice.”

“Fix our house first. Honor the people who built and defended it. Then we can talk about having guests over. Until that sh*t happens. Don’t talk to me about compassion.”

This man got a $600 medical bill that’s without insurance, so he submitted insurance and bill jumped to more than double at almost $1300. Original bill was $2,342.14, insurance paid $1,078.85, leaving more out-of-pocket. He was told no when he asked if he can get the discount for the uninsured. So, you’re Paying premiums to pay MORE. Absolute ridiculous!

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

[Justin Drake @drakefjustin]

Yesterday Ethereum turned 10. Today, lean Ethereum is unveiled as a vision—and personal mission—for the next 10 years.

We stand at the dawn of a new era. Millions of TPS. Quantum adversaries. How does Ethereum marry extreme performance with uncompromising security and decentralization?

TLDR: next-generation cryptography is central to winning both offense and defense.

Disclaimer: This is a Drake take™ aimed at a broad audience. A technical deep dive into hash-based post-quantum signatures and SNARKs will follow. A healthy diversity of views across Protocol, the EF, and the broader Ethereum community is expected and welcome. It strengthens us.

defense—fort mode

Ethereum is special. 100% uptime since genesis. Unrivaled client diversity. $130B in economic security (35.7M ETH staked × $3.7K)—maybe soon $1T.

Ethereum is poised to become the bedrock of the internet of value, securing hundreds of trillions over decades, even centuries.

Ethereum must survive anything: nation states, quantum computers. Whatever comes. Call it fort mode. If the internet is up, Ethereum is up. If the world is online, the world is onchain.

offense—beast mode

Ethereum is hungry. “Scale L1, scale blobs” is a strategic urgency inside the EF’s Protocol cluster. Expect low-hanging performance gains over the next 6–12 months.

Longer term? Think gigagas L1, teragas L2. Call it beast mode.

→ 1 gigagas/sec on L1: 10K TPS, ambitious vertical scale
→ 1 teragas/sec on L2: 1M TPS, sprawling horizontal scale

Scale vs decentralization? Why not both. The moon math we need is now tamed:

→ real-time zkVMs for lean execution
→ data availability sampling (DAS) for lean data

A delicious cherry on top: full chain verification across every browser, wallet, phone.

lean upgrades

Lean Ethereum proposes bold upgrades across all three L1 sublayers:

→ lean consensus is beacon chain 2.0: hardened for ultimate security and decentralization, plus finality in seconds; formerly branded as “beam chain”
→ lean data is blobs 2.0: post-quantum blobs, plus granular blob sizing for a calldata-like developer experience
→ lean execution is EVM 2.0: a minimal, SNARK-friendly instruction set (possibly RISC-V; pronounced “risk five”), boosting performance while preserving EVM compatibility and its network effects

The consensus layer (CL), data layer (DL), execution layer (EL) have each been reimagined from first principles. Together, they unlock fort mode and beast mode.

The goal: performance abundance under the constraint of non-negotiable continuity, maximum hardness, and refreshing simplicity.

lean cryptography

Hash-based cryptography is emerging as the ideal foundation for lean Ethereum. It offers a compelling, unified answer to two megatrends reshaping the ecosystem:

→ the explosive rise of SNARKs
→ the looming quantum threat

Imagine the leanest cryptographic brick—the hash function—singlehandedly powering L1:

→ CL: hash-based aggregate signatures upgrade BLS signatures
→ DL: hash-based DAS commitments upgrade KZG commitments
→ EL: hash-based real-time zkVMs upgrade EVM re-execution

A cryptographic jewel in each of lean CL, lean DL, lean EL.

lean craft

Lean Ethereum is more than a blueprint for hardening and scaling Ethereum. More than just doubling down on security, decentralisation, and cutting-edge cryptography. It is an aesthetic. An art form. A craft. Think Jiro in Dreams of Sushi. When we can go the extra mile, we do.

Minimalism. Modularity. Encapsulated complexity. Formal verification. Provable security. Provable optimality. These are subtle yet important technical considerations. Stay tuned for the post on post-quantum cryptography that will make them explicit.

lean legacy

After 10 fantastic years, lean Ethereum is a generational oath. To keep Ethereum online no matter what. To scale it without compromise. To make it worthy of those who come next.

This is about legacy. We are builders, we are missionaries. We are Ethereum. I hope you join us.

WOW: A resurfaced clip shows Jon Stewart GRILLING the Deputy Secretary of Defense over the Pentagon’s repeated failure to pass an audit.

Where’s that energy now? This was from only two years ago.

“If I give you $1 billion and you can’t tell me what happened to it, that to me is wasteful. That means you are not responsible. But if you can’t tell me where it went, then what am I supposed to think?

“I’m not saying this is on you and that you caused this, but I think it’s a tough argument. And an $850 billion budget to an organization that can’t pass an audit and tell you where that money went?

“Like, I think most people would consider that somewhere in the realm of waste, fraud, or abuse because they would wonder why that money isn’t well accounted for.”

Nice find, @JesseBWatters.
