Felt like church on a Saturday night at the Greek with Hermanos Gutierrez. Such a great show and engaged audience.

This introduction to Circle STARKs and Stwo by @EliBenSasson is so good. From finite fields to algebraic cyclic groups to Stwo to practical applications in Ethereum. “If you cannot write well, you cannot think well; if you cannot think well, others will do your thinking for…

I’m still a little surprised every time I learn about a new L1 - e.g. @plumenetwork, @NexusLabs, @Arda_Global - but then it only strengthens my conviction in the idea of the internet of blockchains.

Running a testnet sequencer on @aztecnetwork and forked @stealthnote_ to start diving more deeply into @NoirLang. So far impressed with how enjoyable the experience is. Shout out to @critesjosh_ for what seems like 24/7 dev support.

Deeply fascinating if true. Guns, germs, and steel.

Is anyone an economist who can help me understand the suggestion in the first few minutes that links a crypto reserve to reducing the value of the dollar? I was confused about the role of stablecoins - if non-dollars buy them up. (asking for a friend) youtube.com/watch?v=f1CdbC…

I've seen a few takes on this today. Makes me think about where @ZekoProtocol fits with respect to @MinaProtocol. MINA gas token but alt DA.

I was a kid who ran a web server from my dorm room back when that was cypherpunk. I love the idea of the people's internet, an open network of p2p protocols through which people (and their authorized agents!) can organize and take action. Mina's web node is the new web server.

I particularly excited about the protocol feature development, especially access to the protocol state. One foot in front of the other towards proof singularity.

I've been super impressed with the team developing the Rust node at @MinaFoundation. It's no small feat to reverse engineer a recursive ZK proof system written in OCaml. Once ready it'll be way easier to optimize MSM and make other improvements. github.com/openmina/openm… ...

Come meet up at the ZK Hub at @EthereumDenver! DMs open.

Excited about this project. Blockchain interop is the final frontier. Fast, cheap verification of ZK state proofs is the way. Nori is leading the charge.
