Data science all day, NFTs all night.. Truth conquers all things and memes control the means.

[Alex Veremeyenko @alex_verem]

Holy shit. MIT just built an AI that can rewrite its own code to get smarter 🤯

It’s called SEAL (Self-Adapting Language Models).

Instead of humans fine-tuning it, SEAL reads new info, rewrites it in its own words, and runs gradient updates on itself literally performing self-directed learning.

The results?

✅ +40% boost in factual recall
✅ Outperforms GPT-4.1 using data it generated *itself*
✅ Learns new tasks without any human in the loop

LLMs that finetune themselves are no longer sci-fi.

We just entered the age of self-evolving models.

Inscriptions have taken down multiple chains and caused huge gas spikes over the last couple of days.

However, very few people actually understand what's going on.

Here's a simple explanation of inscriptions - how they work and why they're being spammed everywhere 🧵:

Block 16964664: A user managed to drain five MEV bots by exploiting a bug in mev-boost-relay.

Here's the block: https://t.co/ruSz8YzAJR

🔍 What is Pyrometer?

It's designed for Solidity developers and auditors to evaluate code using abstract interpretation, symbolic execution, and static analysis.

The core focus is Bound Analysis, helping track variables and understanding code effects:

This fantastic figure by @VitalikButerin illustrates how ERC-4337 signature aggregators can actually reduce data size, and therefore transaction costs, on rollups.

So much alpha in this thread

The QQL duel between @CozomoMedici and @punk6529 came down to a difficult decision. On the one hand, Medici put together a strong diptych with perfect spatial alignment. On the other, 6529 has continued their QQL storyline in a clean and elegant way...

Introducing Account Abstraction (AA)!

Disconnect the Signer and Account. Make the Account a smart contract that defines what a valid transaction is:

- Signature Scheme?
- Multiple Signers?
- Signers can be replaced? 🤯

Designated verifier proofs are a fascinating building block.

Alice sends Bob a ZK-SNARK proof "either X is true about me and data I hold, or I am Bob"

Bob knows he did not make the proof, so he knows X is true. But if Bob sends Alice's proof to Charlie, Charlie is not convinced

In case you missed it: I talked about new types of MEV in PoS at Devcon.

6 minutes, short and sweet.

In September a new smart contract standard was approved which will create powerful applications for Web3 in gaming + finance.

ERC3525 expands on ERC1155 and introduces semi-fungible tokens to unlock exciting new use cases for NFTs.

Here’s all you need to know about ERC3525. 🧵

"AI figures out how to make AI faster." I think we're going to start seeing a lot more headlines like this.

Today an NFT started minting with a function which unfortunately which lets anyone drain all their ETH

A few hours later there was an MEV bot skirmish over the ETH in this contract, here's a short thread with some details

Amidst all the reckage and misery, here's your little ray of sunshiny good news for the weekend: What's New in #Eth2.

@dcbuilder @EthPrague As someone who’s half Czech but never been, it’s nice to get this insider cultural context.

v4.0.0 of ERC721A is now live. We made a lot of changes in this release so let's take a look at some major differences in this release. Once again, huge thanks to @optimizoor for driving this release.
