L2BEAT was a public good in a league of its own. Many outlets informed users, few changed the landscape they covered. Each L2 that set out to climb L2BEAT's stages represented a win for Ethereum, its users, and its culture.
ETHBEAT's CROPS coverage is poised to be an even greater forcing function, one that gives every project a clear sense for the highest standards. We support their work wholeheartedly as this is the kind of accountability the ecosystem needs; well-informed users ask more of protocols, and protocols deliver better guarantees.
Congratulations @ethbeat_org on starting this next chapter.

@VitalikButerin just opened Devcon and set the tone for the week.
A formally verified OS, open silicon, self-sovereign healthtech, free discourse, private communication, trustworthy AI — these are all part of Ethereum's mission.

Who shapes what ships is often a question of input.
Our App Enablement team is reaching out to protocols for just this reason. So we want to hear from more of you—especially if you're less active on ACD calls. Your feedback makes for better EIPs and a better world computer. Read more here and reach out.

Most privacy protocols don't make you invisible, they help you blend in with other users. But if your behaviour stands out, it can still give you away.
That's why the size of the crowd matters and we've added a new metric to measure this crowd - the anonymity set.
An anonymity set is the number of users your transfer could have come from. The bigger that group, the harder it is to single you out.

There's no need to give model providers your identity with your prompts when they can be used for surveillance or just petty advertising. Privacy can, should, and will be by default.

I just used @MetaMask to pay for decision models, confidentially, with zero-knowledge.
Excited to bring zkAPI by @ethereumfndn and @OpenAnonProject to Sage:
- Deposit ETH once.
- Generate keys with ZK proofs.
- Give a key to your agent.
- Your agent makes decisions, and they can't be linked to the wallet you deposited from.

We published a status update on Core Solidity: what the language can do today, what is still missing, what the community told us, and what comes next.
Just because you have nothing to hide does not mean you have nothing to protect.
New post: Exposing an ISA for post-quantum proofs on Ethereum
tldr: With EIP-8288, users can prove private, post-quantum transactions on their own devices, and Ethereum nodes verify those proofs outside the EVM.
Each proof should show that an app's program ran correctly, so Ethereum has to pick the instruction set (ISA) those programs run on and support it for as long as smart contracts depend on it.
The choice comes down to tradeoffs between proving speed, developer tooling, time to ship, and protocol complexity.
Which ISA should Ethereum pick?

TheDAO is allocating 400 ETH to the ETHSecurity Initiatives Round via @blossom_labs' Blossom Budgeting.
To be eligible for funding, Initiatives will need to meet certain funding thresholds.

Ethereum Builders Live: Peanut
1/ Transaction assertions let wallets and protocols set guardrails on what a tx can change.
Basic flow: tx executes normally → an assertion reads the net state diff (balances, storage, code, events) → reverts the execution if it breaks the rules.

30 days until Devcon 8 (!!!) 🇮🇳
The people building Ethereum's future. The conversations shaping what's next. The ideas that turn into real-world impact.
All in one place, for 4 days in Mumbai.

Today the EF and OA announce zkAPI—a new means for private AI
Picture this: deposit ether into a vault, sign a zk proof, get a fixed amount of private inference. Advances like these help us move past middlemen's requirements that we link our data and identities.

Privacy is stronger when movements work together. 💪
At Devcon 8, we'll welcome @PG_CDG of @web3privacy to the stage to explore what crypto can learn from activism, the arts & community organizing, and why collaboration matters for the future we’re trying to build.

Congratulations to @zk_money on launching a private, self-custodial, and open source wallet. The Ethereum ecosystem is at its best when builders don't compromise on these core values
Privacy is security.
Dependence on a single provider, even @torproject, is a potential threat vector.
anon-rpc was developed by the @ethereumfndn to make adding support for multiple anonymity networks easy for integrators ↓
