Someone I know and gave some advice to years ago and along the way has truly found inner peace after 3 years of intense struggle

Besides being deeply at peace and having no more questions, he can now read people’s energy and feelings, has increased intuition, can use manifestation, and other subtle abilities that come along once one takes one’s inner development serious

His message brought such joy to my heart. So rare for someone to go this far ☺️.

He found the gold we all carry in our souls, most of us just never go looking for it nor know that we live in a mental prison of our own making. We believe
and think that wealth and power are found on the outside while it is all found on the inside

He looked inside, for real, and finally realized his true potential
So can you
The door is always open

Quantum-Assisted Optimal Transaction Ordering for Blockchains

We propose a transaction ordering framework in which block construction is formulated as a constrained global optimization problem and solved via quantum-assisted computation. Rather than applying heuristic or first-come-first-served sequencing, validators collect a batch of candidate transactions for each block and encode ordering, execution dependencies, and state transitions into a formal optimization model. The objective function captures protocol-defined goals such as fairness, maximal execution efficiency, minimal slippage, reduced extractable value (MEV), and adherence to risk and resource constraints. A quantum (or hybrid quantum-classical) optimizer is then used to compute a candidate ordering and execution plan that maximizes this objective under strict validity constraints.

To preserve determinism and consensus safety, all optimization outputs are verified by a classical deterministic validator, ensuring that resulting state transitions are valid, constraints are satisfied, and outcomes are reproducible. The protocol separates fairness specification (encoded in constraints and objective) from solution search (performed by the optimizer), preventing arbitrary or opaque decision-making. In the event of solver failure or disagreement, validators fall back to a canonical deterministic ordering rule, guaranteeing liveness.

This design transforms block production from a local, adversarial ordering problem into a globally optimized batch execution process. By leveraging quantum-assisted search for combinatorial optimization, the system aims to reduce MEV, improve capital efficiency, and enforce formally defined fairness policies, while maintaining verifiability, consensus compatibility, and robustness under heterogeneous validator capabilities.

Bitcoin correlating with anything that is being sold

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

There have recently been some discussions on the ongoing role of L2s in the Ethereum ecosystem, especially in the face of two facts:

* L2s' progress to stage 2 (and, secondarily, on interop) has been far slower and more difficult than originally expected
* L1 itself is scaling, fees are very low, and gaslimits are projected to increase greatly in 2026

Both of these facts, for their own separate reasons, mean that the original vision of L2s and their role in Ethereum no longer makes sense, and we need a new path.

First, let us recap the original vision. Ethereum needs to scale. The definition of "Ethereum scaling" is the existence of large quantities of block space that is backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum - that is, block space where, if you do things (including with ETH) inside that block space, your activities are guaranteed to be valid, uncensored, unreverted, untouched, as long as Ethereum itself functions. If you create a 10000 TPS EVM where its connection to L1 is mediated by a multisig bridge, then you are not scaling Ethereum.

This vision no longer makes sense. L1 does not need L2s to be "branded shards", because L1 is itself scaling. And L2s are not able or willing to satisfy the properties that a true "branded shard" would require. I've even seen at least one explicitly saying that they may never want to go beyond stage 1, not just for technical reasons around ZK-EVM safety, but also because their customers' regulatory needs require them to have ultimate control. This may be doing the right thing for your customers. But it should be obvious that if you are doing this, then you are not "scaling Ethereum" in the sense meant by the rollup-centric roadmap. But that's fine! it's fine because Ethereum itself is now scaling directly on L1, with large planned increases to its gas limit this year and the years ahead.

We should stop thinking about L2s as literally being "branded shards" of Ethereum, with the social status and responsibilities that this entails. Instead, we can think of L2s as being a full spectrum, which includes both chains backed by the full faith and credit of Ethereum with various unique properties (eg. not just EVM), as well as a whole array of options at different levels of connection to Ethereum, that each person (or bot) is free to care about or not care about depending on their needs.

What would I do today if I were an L2?

* Identify a value add other than "scaling". Examples: (i) non-EVM specialized features/VMs around privacy, (ii) efficiency specialized around a particular application, (iii) truly extreme levels of scaling that even a greatly expanded L1 will not do, (iv) a totally different design for non-financial applications, eg. social, identity, AI, (v) ultra-low-latency and other sequencing properties, (vi) maybe built-in oracles or decentralized dispute resolution or other "non-computationally-verifiable" features
* Be stage 1 at the minimum (otherwise you really are just a separate L1 with a bridge, and you should just call yourself that) if you're doing things with ETH or other ethereum-issued assets
* Support maximum interoperability with Ethereum, though this will differ for each one (eg. what if you're not EVM, or even not financial?)

From Ethereum's side, over the past few months I've become more convinced of the value of the native rollup precompile, particuarly once we have enshrined ZK-EVM proofs that we need anyway to scale L1. This is a precompile that verifies a ZK-EVM proof, and it's "part of Ethereum", so (i) it auto-upgrades along with Ethereum, and (ii) if the precompile has a bug, Ethereum will hard-fork to fix the bug.

The native rollup precompile would make full, security-council-free, EVM verification accessible. We should spend much more time working out how to design it in such a way that if your L2 is "EVM plus other stuff", then the native rollup precompile would verify the EVM, and you only have to bring your own prover for the "other stuff" (eg. Stylus). This might involve a canonical way of exposing a lookup table between contract call inputs and outputs, and letting you provide your own values to the lookup table (that you would prove separately).

This would make it easy to have safe, strong, trustless interoperability with Ethereum. It also enables synchronous composability (see: https://t.co/9jy6v1X6Fw and https://t.co/gZmu3YjebM ). And from there, it's each L2's choice exactly what they want to build. Don't just "extend L1", figure out something new to add.

This of course means that some will add things that are trust-dependent, or backdoored, or otherwise insecure; this is unavoidable in a permissionless ecosystem where developers have freedom. Our job should make to make it clear to users what guarantees they have, and to build up the strongest Ethereum that we can.

[Frank @frankdegods]

there’s legitimately no blockchain even close to solana

the biggest risk to sol is their UX moat getting neutralized with rise of crosschain apps like fomo/relay

regardless, out of all the L1’s… SOL clearly had the most battle testing with real scale this whole cycle

it became the default

and in crypto the only way to replace a default is to be 10x better for a long stretch of time

building anywhere but sol inherently carries leveraged bet on the L1, which new builders rarely want to take

A few hard to accept truths that I think the market can handle after the past couple years of performance:

1. Prices aren't cheap. The tokens down 80% aren't cheap. The things underperforming deserve to do so.

2. 80%+ people in this space are incompetent relative to their seniority in any other industry, and will be weeded out over time

3. Poor aggregate fund performance is a function of 1. a bad investable universe (tokens from 2018-2024) 2. bad fund managers

We need to accept that our industry isn't taken seriously because it historically hasn't deserved to be.

I'm optimistic about the future only because I think the excesses that needed to be shed after 2021 are only now finally starting to occur.

This is short-term painful and still may lead to most market participants' deaths that are still alive and kicking, but it's very likely necessary for "crypto" to succeed.

I get 99% of you have 0 physical understanding of engineering, product, or startups, but this is deeply retarded

ppl got "hyped" on solana because it's the only chain that has shown a critical mass of scale, talent, and most importantly: execution under pressure

if it was just about scale, they'd use aptos. how come they arent?

you all said Solana was only good for weird defi in 2021, then for nfts in 2022, and then memecoins in 2024, and you'll keep moving the goalposts everytime

the reality is that it's always the spotlight chain because it's where most talent, scale, and attention flocks to

you can't fake execution and being battle tested, everyone scales on a whitepaper, good luck with the real world

comparing bitcoin to solana in terms of speed is just beyond brain damage, like comparing gold to robinhood stock and unserious

you are also completely contradicting yourself

you are saying it will get out-competed due to tech while simultaneously saying it's not about the tech — which is it?

you are saying decentralization and CR is what matters while saying single servers will win, full of inconsistentcies from mental gymnastics

the reality is both will do well because the trillion dollar markets are not 0 sum as faded down horrendous traders on this app would imply

solana is not strong only due to tech, it's a combination of tech, grit, mentality, and proven execution

Probably one of the most severe flushes I’ve ever seen on alts, I didn’t even imagine alts had this much leverage in them. It feels like someone got hit very hard and will see a large body float to the surface soon, reminds me a little of summer 2021.

Good reminder to myself to own things that I am actually bullish on, and not things I am trying to shift on momentum. Some charts look like they’ll never recover, whereas some things look buyable for the first time in a while.

When everyone is making hilarious amounts of money I am always tempted to start using leverage again. It is almost impossible to fight the feeling that you’re not making enough, or everyone else is outpacing you. Good reminder that fighting that feeling and avoid the wipeouts is worth it in the end.

Check on your friends, likely a bad day for many.

Personally, am concentrating my bags into the things I am happy to own for the next few years, and shedding the fat. Realised I own some assets based on not wanting to miss out, rather than on some actual thesis. Days like today are much easier for me if I think my bags will bounce back, and much worse if I’m losing money owning things I don’t even believe in.

Don’t let a leverage blowup dictate your long-term views. The future is bright, good things to come, patience is rewarded.
