Honestly it's probably a good thing for Solana in the long term for SIMD 0228 to have failed. It shows there is at least some decentralisation in the decision making.

Wait the SIMD 0228 vote for Solana is happening already? This whole thing is way too rushed for an actual decentralised protocol. Issuance changes should take a long time to go through if you actually have a decentralised cryptocurrency.

I respect you a great deal, so when I read your praise of Kyle's talk, I immediately watched the video. I tried to keep my feedback short but Kyle is an absolute fountain of misinformation and marketing spin, and I just kept writing, so here we go: Kyle's sensationalist…


An example of dishonesty from Solana kol's. Clearly making a bad comparison to push a narrative. Builders != validators Do not trust them, they are lying to you.

uhh 2 entities control 93% of eth block production lmao 3 entities control 97% i dont get the obsession with trying to take shots at bitcoin when your situation is much worse

I've been playing @influenceth on @Starknet for a month now and made 474 transactions on chain. The total transaction fees for all 474 txns has been $0.064. The L2 roadmap is working! Influence is very close to a web2 gaming experience. Faster txn times will do it

New Bell Curve with @hasufl and @drakefjustin is LIVE. In this episode, we discuss: - Minimum viable issuance - Real yield on Ethereum - Restaking and preconfs - Attester proposer separation - Vertical integration btw liquid and restaking Full episode below, enjoy!


I'm not sure if ZK compression is an L2 or not but it is modular. Solana validators would be outsourcing storing state so it's not monolithic. Also it should just be called stateless tokens/NFT's.


After looking into Ouroboros Leios, I won't be making a video on it yet. There are still too many unanswered questions on the actual implementation. There's still probably 1-2 years for a research paper on the implementation and then 1-2 years to actually implement it.

ETHEREUM SURVIVES THE SEC. Today we’re happy to announce a major win for Ethereum developers, technology providers, and industry participants: the Enforcement Division of the SEC has notified us that it is closing its investigation into Ethereum 2.0. This means that the SEC…


Just finished my first read through of the $ADA Leios paper. It will probably take a few reads to fully understand but I can tell already that this is far away from main-net. Many implementation details are still to be decided. This is probably something for the next bull market


Maybe this will get me to make videos again. Will read later

2/ The Ouroboros Leios paper is also available for you to read here: iohk.io/en/research/li… A future video will help outline how fundamental research informs IO’s work and feeds into its prototyping and development work, so stay tuned for that in the near future.



Really excellent podcast. I was sceptical of the new issuance curve before and wondering what's wrong with the current one but now I'm much more convinced it's better for Ethereum. Normal holders shouldn't have to think about staking pools. Making staking specialised is better

Using $ETH L2's right now is amazing. The rollup centric vision is slowly coming into place
