New exploits are coming. Google has brought its post-quantum migration forward to 2029 – ahead of the NSA's 2031 and the US government's 2035 deadlines.⏰
The challenge for Cardano – post-quantum VRFs for Nakamoto-style leader election – is an open research problem. CV26 funds IOR to solve it:
🔬 Performance-optimized PQ VRFs
⚙️ Quantum-secure Ouroboros analysis
📜 A clear migration roadmap and CIP
Cardano is positioned to lead the migration now, not follow.

So the AIpocalypse accelerates and we're using it to force the long overdue contraction of the blockchain space down to only the most viable, hardened chains.
If you haven't been there yet, we're crowdsourcing the use of AI to improve on a major upgrade (from Google) in the potential efficacy of quantum computers to break $BTC's security.

Can I ask you all for a little favor? In Switzerland we have an abandoned rest stop since 2003 at one of the most beautiful lakes (Lake Walensee) and one of the most popular highways between Zurich and Graubünden. I think it would be a perfect place for Tesla to reopen it with the first Tesla Diner in Europe. What do you think? I would appreciate every support to bring this topic on Tesla's management table. 🍔⚡️🇨🇭 @Tesla@TeslaCharging@teslaeurope@elonmusk@woodhaus2
I still remember the https://t.co/hActlNrhVe days, when DEC ruled search and the product was a good search engine with useful search operators, instead of all of us, and our data.
Google won me over in the early 2000s by being a better, faster version of Altavista.
Then Adwords / Adsense happened.
Just waiting for the inline viral ads to start overwhelming AI search results so I can relive it all over again.
Can't wait to hear ChatGPT and Gemini tell me why I might *think* AdBlock Plus is a pro move, but that I'm really missing out.
Local, open weight LLMs will only get more and more important. I wonder how the first major legislation against them will be crafted to achieve the widest impact?
Will it be:
A.) These LLMs are full of copyright violations and must be banned.
B.) They let bad actors create malware and must be banned.
C.) They teach people how to create X, Y, or Z, and must be banned.
All of these things will still be true for ChatGPT, Gemini, and the rest, but they'll have "verified protections against misuse" and (thanks to massive Ad revenues and monthly sub fees!) they will not be banned.
Decentralized ad free search should be a core internet protocol like NTP and DNS.
It would mitigate so many security nightmares around the paid gamification of search results and we could all focus on why Microsoft can't release working patches instead.
Partner chains like Midnight was part of the plan before Cardano launched.
"Every single person who bought $ADA ... bought into that understanding that this was the plan to build partner chains."

From ADA Pools to Cexplorer and Cexplorer 2.0
It's a great pleasure to build core infrastructure for the most decentralized blockchain for anyone to use.
Super happy to see so many of you using Cexplorer every day. 🫡
