1/ Meet @WheresBroox (Broox Bauer), one of the multiple @AxiomExchange employees allegedly abusing the lack of access controls for internal tools to lookup sensitive user details to insider trade by tracking private wallet activity since early 2025.
Really liked what @stfnco designed recently for a product using @framer 🔥
So I went ahead and vibe coded an entire website based on that design in about two hour using @GoogleAIStudio with Gemini 3 Pro, and a bit of Three.js :D
Pretty wild how fast you can go from inspiration to a fully interactive site now. This is actual 100x engineering, thanks to AI!!

@Ed_Balloon Only because Harlem Shake is mentioned in the EDM song that was used for all of the videos. Then it became a challenge, I think. Back in 2012-13 when everything was a “challenge”. Good or bad 😬
@Ed_Balloon Lol exactly. I’m chronically online so I’m able to translate 😂 But it confused the hell out of me when it first started. Glad it didn’t last long
We're deep in privacy season on Ethereum right now, and one of the hottest narratives going around is EIP-7503, pushed by the team at @EIP7503.
Here's a straightforward breakdown of what EIP-7503 is:
EIP-7503 is a proposed upgrade to Ethereum called "Zero-Knowledge Wormholes." Think of it as a secret tunnel that lets you move ETH around completely privately—no one can track where it came from or where it's going.
How the core idea works:
1. You send ETH to a "dead" address—an address where nobody has the private key, so the funds are effectively burned. It looks just like any random transaction on Ethereum, so nobody knows it's you.
2. Then you use zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to create mathematical evidence that you really did burn that ETH—without revealing the address or any details.
That ZK proof lets you mint fresh ETH at a new address. End result: your funds have moved to a clean, unlinked address with full anonymity. No one can connect the dots between the old transaction and the new one.
Current status (as of January 2026):
EIP-7503 is still just a proposal from 2023 and hasn't been added to Ethereum core yet.
But the @EIP7503 team is actually building this concept into a live tool on Ethereum mainnet.
How the Worm protocol works:
Step 1. You send ETH to a burn address—it gets destroyed forever. There's no way for anyone to tell it was you or link it to the Worm protocol.
Step 2. You generate a zero-knowledge proof showing the burn happened, submit it to a smart contract, and get BETH tokens in return (1 BETH per ETH burned).
Step 3. You can then redeem BETH to mint WORM tokens. WORM is a regular ERC-20 you can trade, use in DeFi, or send privately. The entire process breaks any direct link between your original ETH, the burn, and the WORM you end up with—making it extremely hard to trace.

In 2026, you're going to hear a lot more about privacy tech on Ethereum—ZK and FHE. If you're still not familiar with them, this thread is for you:
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) are two leading privacy-preserving technologies in blockchain, particularly for Ethereum.
- ZK allows a prover to demonstrate the validity of a computation without revealing underlying data (the "witness"),
- while FHE enables computations on encrypted data without ever decrypting it, producing an encrypted result.
Both aim to enhance privacy and confidentiality, but they differ significantly in approach, trade-offs, and current applicability.
