恶心和窒息感从未如此强烈，哪怕只是安静地坐在椅子上，也会感到呼吸急促和眩晕。平常一定得注意mental health，多锻炼。有强健的身体和旺盛的精力才能应对各种情况，事业也才能做长久。

Seeing all this poaching from Meta… is California really the best place to build an AI startup? 😂 No non-competes means big companies can just acqui-hire every top talent?

I was just chatting with a friend about AI vs crypto, and it reminded me of a personal story. I actually made my choice between the two seven years ago during undergrad. I was doing my thesis in a computer architecture lab. There were two directions I could take: 1) Hardware…

Check out this deep dive by @jonastheis_, probably the most comprehensive piece on rollup design from first principles. It breaks down every component (inbox, sequencer, prover, bridge, L2 node) and explores key trade-offs like: tx data vs. state diffs, latency vs.…

Hot take: our security council might actually be more decentralized than Solana’s validator set. “Decentralization” here = how many independent orgs you’d need to coordinate with to gain majority control. (Yes, same logic people use to critique Ethereum via Lido, Coinbase, etc.…

I’m genuinely curious, how can a token still have such high volume even when it’s “suspiciously manipulated”? Is it all just market making? It must take a massive amount of capital to absorb that kind of sell pressure under a $40B FDV… It seems that as long as someone…

It’s impressive that every hack eventually leads to buying ETH… Even the hackers know which chain is truly decentralized and secure, they actually care, since they could lose everything or end up in jail.

@ryanberckmans @tkstanczak I agree that optimism, curiosity, and a strong sense for product opportunities are essential. But I completely disagree that someone with an infrastructure background is the wrong fit. Ethereum is a product, but it's also a product with a primary focus on developers. It’s not a…

I’m increasingly convinced that Validium-style systems will be key to institutional adoption. It offers: 1) Regulation-friendly privacy at extremely low cost 2) Trustless, permissionless interoperability with other systems ZK enables systems to "talk" to each other in a…

The next challenge for real-time proving: 1. Prove an arbitrary block within 12s. This is critical, and part of why we’re cautious with mainnet. zk proving introduces new DoS vectors — blocks with lots of zk-unfriendly opcodes and low gas cost can still take significant time to…

My take on why REV is flawed as a valuation metric for ETH: 1. REV is a vanity metric, like TVL It’s useful to track, but the number alone doesn’t mean much. Take TVL as an example: 10M USDT from one whale is different from 1M users with $10 each, the latter is far more robust.…

The most authentic list of rollups you should care about that doesn't compromise security. Others all make big trade-offs or are literally servers with nothing to do with Ethereum security. (Validium is slightly acceptable if you want to push performance to the extreme — it's the…

(not so) hot take: Traditional payment companies don’t actually want irreversible instant finality. What they need is fast, controllable pre-confirmation. Legacy systems rely on layers like SWIFT, correspondent banks, and clearing houses to handle compliance, fraud checks, and…
