Is there not a “get acknowledgement from these people” checklist for upgrades? I feel like it should include viem and ethers.js. How else are people formatting txs for the network?

Anyone else get bricked by the Sepolia Fusaka upgrade? Tx format changed with peerdas.

Correction: I _thought_ I walked past Ed Sheeran. Then later saw a massive crowd around him in another place. But it was just some look-alike guy. And then he smashed an acoustic guitar over some guy’s head. I will never understand what just happened.

Groth16 prover for Noir would be an absolute game-changer. UltraHonk's 2m gas verification cost is sometimes a bit too much. Expensive client-size ZK just doesn't work.


DIVERSIFIED ADDRESSES. LOVELY.

LOOKS LIKE STEALTH ADDRESSES AND KEY ROTATION ARE POPULAR FEATURES

new milestone next, billions



I love a good game of “Where’s @kevaundray

Fun fact: This was the first slide I wrote when commencing Aztec, all those years ago.

Bitcoin = digital money Zcash = private digital money —————————————————— Ethereum = smart contracts Aztec = private smart contracts



Came up with an incredible private payments protocol last night. Returned to it this morning, and realised it can only operate for one minute before the world runs out of storage capacity.


Game changer

Today we’re announcing our integration with @aztecnetwork: ➡️ Bringing 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 (PSS) to the Ethereum ecosystem. Here’s why this is a big deal 👇

1 month ago, this guy didn't even know how to use a computer (allegedly). Look at how fast one can learn and build on Aztec's testnet!

Here is a video demo of this OTC desk in action. It is non-custodial, and I show how we are able to privately sell Eth for USDC on @aztecnetwork with all information being private! Unstoppable, programmable money! Made possible by Aztec 🪿



Whilst we polish and audit the protocol, folks are building ever more impressive private applications. Harsh and co are going to be building loads of example apps in the coming months. Delightful


Shill me your favourite zcash primer

Re private transactions: Have we reached a stage where most people understand the basics of the zcash protocol (notes and nullifiers), so that we don't need to reiterate those concepts before we can explain a new thing?

This resonates with me

I also love the emphasis on how few lines of code each piece takes. Protocols are not a dirty get-it-out-there thing that you vibe-code, where you accept permanent accumulating garbage in the name of short-term convenience. Protocols are a work of art. They should look as such.



I have good news everyone! Someone just asked me for a link to one of my hackmds! It’s an absolute banger too.


“probably nothing” fatigue: I now presume such posts are indeed probably nothing.


I bet they’re pivoting to AI

Tomorrow you will understand.



I can still see "$". This was a payment in USD. Meanwhile on Aztec: ********
