What if blockchains could keep private transactions private even in a post-quantum future?
This week on TezTalks Radio, we sit down with Tezos co-founder, Arthur Breitman, to explore TzEL, post-quantum privacy, and the long-term future of private payments on Tezos.
The strongest ecosystems aren't built by upgrades alone. They're built by people who keep showing up.
This week we're highlighting a community-built analytics platform, the people behind TTC, and the spaces helping people in Tezos stay connected.

"SEED dreams ON a daTA river++++++++iTs ALL gOIng TO BE OK." is a looping GIF built around two elements: the flowing river and the seed of life. The seeds are shaped like eyes, yet carry only spectral light. Same as the river. Because it is all data. Data in the form of light, traveling until the energy manifests as whatever it is meant to be. We are a result of that. The piece reminds us that everything is as it should be.
So drop the worries and come get Artz with @august3570182.

Our gem of the week is @August35750182, an NFT aficionado who balances being both an artist and a collector. Today we focus on August's art, often mixed-media work full of nuance worth diving into. Enjoy the thread, and join us for Artz Friday to get the weekend creativity flowing.
At the recent ProofOfPalm event, August minted Paradise Lost (Redux): Palm Trees in The "Hands of God." The piece weaves real audio of a nuclear detonation with clips of President Truman speaking in 1945. It's an ongoing exploration in glitching and layering video and audio. August uses art to spread information that matters, and this is one we'll surely dissect during Artz Friday.
From the collection "Cages of Light," "Un Ange Passe" is an artwork that speaks through image, title, and abstract static audio. The title is a French expression for the awkward silence that can fall in the middle of a conversation. What is happening in that silence is subjective. For artists, that silence can lead to the first brush stroke on the canvas. In this case, it is where the first streaks of light begin to move.
Learn more about the meaning and process during Artz Friday.
Our guest for this week is @August35750182, a cross-media artist, poet, and also a respected collector in the community. August also has experience co-hosting spaces, so this is sure to be a great convo.
Set those reminders!

The next Tezos protocol upgrade, Ushuaia, is in the final voting phase of the governance cycle.
- 15x DAL bandwidth boost to 10 MB/s for much higher L2 throughput
- Dynamic DAL attestations, faster confirmations (down to 12-18s)
- Rollup-aligned PVM upgrades for quicker iteration via governance
- Native enshrined liquid staking (sTEZ), testnet only for now
- First post-quantum signatures (tz5 accounts) for future-proofing
Bakers, time to vote!
Tomorrow on Tuesday Tezday, we’re joined by TTC, TheTezosCommunity, to talk about four years of showing up for Tezos.
From artist support and community events to games, Spaces, poker nights, and the calendar that helps keep people connected, TTC has become part of the weekly rhythm around here.
Come hang out with us tomorrow!

It's #proofofpalm2026 Season!
Organized by @absurdeity, the event invites artists to create playful palm tree-inspired works and mint them on Tezos throughout the month of May.
We talk about it all in this week’s Baking Sheet.
