Blockchains are more resilient than databases.
Here's a story of a bank getting hacked, and moving to the current version of "carrier pigeons" to conduct business.
This is why blockchains are inevitable.
What an epic milestone. Huge congrats to @musalbas@ismail_k@jadler0 and the entire @CelestiaOrg team for getting here. You should all be immensely proud.
Welcome @cosmos to the modular era.
a consensus protocol with hundreds of validators and a light client that runs on constrained devices is much better for decentralization than a consensus protocol with hundreds of thousands of validators but no practical light client
1/ It’s finally here 🎉
Today, we’re proud to present and fully open-source the completed dYdX Chain!
This is the next chapter for dYdX and we’re so excited that it’s here.

it's crazy so many people on the timeline take at face that it costs $145 million a year to run wikipedia.
it acts like it's broke all the fucking time while sitting on $250 million cash and getting $160 million in donations every year.
the server cost is a tiny fraction of that, it has grown from $1.057 million in 2009 to $2.7 million in 2022. wikipedia can run for 100 years with just the current reserves.
the excessive donations don't just go towards an administrative bloat, they advance things harmful to humanity and the very concept of free knowledge.

We have worked hard to be the first with an @cosmosibc connection between Ethereum and our testnet. Here we present live logs, where a CosmWasm contract and Solidity contract are playing ping-pong.

Institutions can interact with public blockchains directly over IBC.
No need to run a blockchain or rely on third party oracles.

Jonkinlainen hybridimalli edustuksellisesta ja suorasta demokratiasta voisi toimia paremmin kuin nykyinen, puhtaasti edustuksellinen demokratia. Esim. että oman äänensä voisi delegoida valitsemalleen edustajalle, mutta yksittäisissä äänestyksissä voisi aina "ohittaa" oman edustajansa äänen.
