Day 1 of the XRP Ledger CoreDev Bootcamp in NYC is underway! After cohort intros, we dove into: 🔹 State-management foundations 🔹 SHAMap architecture & hashing And we’re just warming up! Curious? New to XRPL core development? Check out the Academy and learn more:

Most robot telemetry is thrown away because full-fidelity storage costs too much. @norma_core_dev fixes this with a data layer: NormFS syncs to Nebius S3-compatible storage, serverless GPUs on Nebius train the VLA model, and the policy returns to the fleet. One provider, one bill.

We're on the ground in NYC 🗽The room is set, the welcome packs are on the tables, and the XRPL Core Dev Bootcamp kicks off today. Three days of hands-on rippled and XRPL core protocol work, led by @angell_denis , CTO at @XRPLF . Let’s go, core devs! 🚀

the good news is the EF is less relevant to the future of Ethereum than it ever has been the bad news is EF bureaucracy and drama around it have created a lot of lame brand damage for Ethereum over the years imo, the EF itself is a relic of the old times so literally just keep R&D, minimal Core Dev support, and a competent comms function to actually support them hire some hyper-freedom / crypto-pilled people to do that work who aren't bleeding heart woke and litigious. no ideological alignment other than being hyper-focused on free market use of a maximally censorship-resistant chain lobotomize previously existing performatively-liberal cultural norms from the org permanently a couple dozen to a few dozen employees at most get rid of absolutely everything else

After 7 incredible years, I've decided that Friday May 29th will be my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. I'm humbled by the projects I got to work on along the way: from the KZG ceremony, to helping architect the early design of the Beacon Chain, and a lot in between. At the age of 23, the Ethereum space welcomed me on the basis of having some great (and many stupid) ideas and let me influence a multi-billion dollar technology, an incredible opportunity I will remain forever grateful for. Ethereum has had a huge impact on me, and I hope my work has had an impact on Ethereum, and in turn on the world. To every researcher, core dev, EFer, and community member, whether we worked together closely or not: thank you. The strength of Ethereum is, and always will be, the people behind it striving to make it what it is. I'm grateful to have spent these years among you. What's next: I don't entirely know yet. For now I'll be enjoying time with my wife and our 1-month-old while I figure it out. Longer term, I'll find or create something with brilliant people at the intersection of engineering excellence, hard problems, and useful products driving economic activity at scale. If that resonates, or you just want to catch up, slide into my DMs!
