TheDAO Security Fund deposited 69,420 ETH (~$220M) onto the Beacon Chain.

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /@pcaversaccio

we just deposited 69,420 ETH into the Ethereum Beacon deposit contract, and guess what, executed straight from my Tornado Cash address. That means every future withdrawal and grant tx is now beautifully, irrevocably tainted. This is a fucking awesome precedent for a good use of

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root / @pcaversaccio

🫡because security is also privacy, my signer Safe (0x5aFE...Da0 -> safe...dao :D) is fully funded via Tornado Cash. That means a Tornado-funded signer is now securing over $220M in assets. Next time someone claims Tornado Cash is "only used by criminals," show them this. Fucking

Polygon announced that Ethereum’s trustless agents, ERC-8004, are officially live on its network.

Ethereum's trustless agents are live on Polygon. ERC-8004 makes identity and reputation portable, unlocking agentic interactions across L2s orgs without the walled gardens. The result: a scalable, permissionless agent economy

Vitalik proposed a two-layer framework for onchain governance. The first layer handles execution and accountability and functions like a prediction market while the second layer handles preference-setting and judgment.

vitalik.eth@VitalikButerin

I actually don't think it's complicated. IMO the future of onchain mechanism design is mostly going to fit into one pattern: [something that looks like a prediction market] -> [something that looks like a capture-resistant, non-financialized preference-setting gadget] In other

MilliΞ @llamaonthebrink

Yesterday Vitalik posted about a curation-style creator platform idea, and while it seems like a complicated solution, his idea will likely prove directionally correct in the not so distant future. Every major social media platform optimizes for popularity contests over quality

Wonderland, unveiled Interoperable Addresses, a new standard that pairs addresses with their target chain to reduce cross-chain errors. Built on ERC-7930 (compact binary format) and ERC-7828 (human-readable, ENS-compatible), the standard enables users to send assets safely to ENS domains with chain identifiers.

Sending assets across any chain in the Ethereum ecosystem should be as simple as typing an address and clicking send. Now it is! Introducing Interoperable Addresses: Just use alice.eth@<chainName>

ETH researcher, Jordi Baylina published a research on achieving synchronous cross-rollup composability using real-time proving. By leveraging proxy contracts and execution tables, the method allows smart contracts to interact across chains atomically ensuring transactions either fully succeed or fully revert without requiring L1 protocol changes.
