#  @VitalikButerin vitalik.eth
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has been actively discussing and promoting various topics, including the importance of open-source and verifiable self-driving cars, the need for a culture of distinguishing between pocket money and long-term savings, and the significance of full-stack openness and verifiability. He also emphasized Ethereum's key property of incorruptibility, which ensures that even a 51% attack cannot make an invalid block valid. Additionally, he expressed excitement about the growth of layer [--] solutions, such as Base, and their potential to provide faster withdrawal times and improved security.

"The one comment I'll make is that I feel bad that @solana and other projects are getting hit in this way. They don't deserve it and if ethereum ends up "winning" through all other blockchains getting kicked off exchanges that's not an honorable way to win and in the long term probably isn't even a victory. This is especially true since the real competition is not other chains it's the rapidly expanding centralized world that is imposing itself on us as we speak. I wish all honorable projects a fair outcome in this whole situation"

"Regular reminder: A key property of a blockchain is that even a 51% attack *cannot make an invalid block valid*. This means even 51% of validators colluding (or hit by a software bug) cannot steal your assets. However this property does not carry over if you start trusting your validator set to do other things that the chain does not have control over - at that point 51% of validators can collude and give a wrong answer and you don't have any recourse"

"In [----] I plan to be fully back to decentralized social. If we want a better society we need better mass communication tools. We need mass communication tools that surface the best information and arguments and help people find points of agreement. We need mass communication tools that serve the user's long-term interest not maximize short-term engagement. There is no simple trick that solves these problems. But there is one important place to start: more competition. Decentralization is the way to enable that: a shared data layer with anyone being able to build their own client on top. In"

"One reason (not the only reason) why I see people sometimes hesitating to switch more fully to Signal is that they got into a habit of using Signal as their "high-priority clutter-free" inbox and Telegram as their "everyone else talk to me" inbox and thus hesitate to make Signal "cluttered" again. Things that I find work for me in this situation is: * Signal now has a folders feature: you can right-click (if on phone tap-and-hold) on a contact and an "Add to folder" option appears * Using *another* app (eg. Session Simplex) as your high-signal inbox this way support projects that are trying"

"Now that ZKEVMs are at alpha stage (production-quality performance remaining work is safety) and PeerDAS is live on mainnet it's time to talk more about what this combination means for Ethereum. These are not minor improvements; they are shifting Ethereum into being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network. To see why let's look at the two major types of p2p network so far: BitTorrent (2000): huge total bandwidth highly decentralized no consensus Bitcoin (2009): highly decentralized consensus but low bandwidth - because its not distributed in the sense of work being"

"One metaphor for Ethereum is BitTorrent and how that p2p network combines decentralization and mass scale. Ethereum's goal is to do the same thing but with consensus. Another metaphor for Ethereum is Linux. * Linux is free and open source software and does not compromise on this * Linux is quietly depended on by billions of people and enterprises worldwide. Governments regularly use it. * There are many operating systems based on Linux that pursue mass adoption * There are Linux distributions (eg. Arch) that are highly purist minimalistic and technologically beautiful and focus on making the"

"Hyper-scaling Ethereum state by creating new forms of state: Summary: * We want 1000x scale on Ethereum L1. We roughly know how to do this for execution and data. But scaling state is fundamentally harder. * The most practical path for Ethereum may actually be to scale existing state only a medium amount and at the same time introduce newer forms of state that would be extremely cheap but also more restrictive in how you can use them. * In such a design the present-day state tree would over time become dominated by user accounts defi hub contracts code and other high-value objects while all"

They have achieved a certain level of success: market volume is high enough to make meaningful bets and have a full-time job as a trader and they often prove useful as a supplement to other forms of news media.

"PeerDAS in Fusaka is significant because it literally is sharding. Ethereum is coming to consensus on blocks without requiring any single node to see more than a tiny fraction of the data.

I think that's no longer true and PeerDAS shows it. @raulvk and others at EF have done heroic work both at making PeerDAS work so smoothly and at setting up a roadmap that increases propagation speed resilience and network-layer privacy at the same time.

Helios: actually verify the data you're receiving from RPCs instead of blindly trusting it.

You can parallelize it require the block builder to provide all kinds of "hints" for it or just replace arbitrary amounts of it with a proof of it. Data is in the middle. If an availability guarantee on data is required then that guarantee is required no way around it. But you _can_ split it up and erasure code it a la PeerDAS. You can do graceful degradation for it: if a node only has 1/10 the data capacity of the other nodes it can always produce blocks 1/10 the size. State is the hardest."

Suppose you have N provers and you have a proving workload that you split into N parts (so one part per prover). You require provers to pre-register but registration is open-access. Suppose you have a constant fault rate (eg. 1/5 of registered provers fail). Provers expect to complete in one round (eg. 3s). If one prover fails other provers have to come in and re-prove that load. How many rounds does it take for the entire workload to get proven Answer: log*(N) (yes that's the iterated-log"

Instead you just buy and hold the coin and this increases the value of their holdings passively. Furthermore there is deniability: holding the coin is in terms of financial effect a linear combination of donating to the issuer and gambling. Hence you can have the intention of doing the former but when challenged claim that you are doing the latter. You can even hold the coin privately and show that you"

Because there's no attacker to go after victims don't have a strong need to talk about it. And often because they see no one to blame but themselves victims will be too ashamed to talk about it. But it happens. Often. And the truly robust wallet security solutions that our ecosystem needs to build should take loss into account too."

@VitalikButerin vitalik.eth
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has been actively discussing and promoting various topics, including the importance of open-source and verifiable self-driving cars, the need for a culture of distinguishing between pocket money and long-term savings, and the significance of full-stack openness and verifiability. He also emphasized Ethereum's key property of incorruptibility, which ensures that even a 51% attack cannot make an invalid block valid. Additionally, he expressed excitement about the growth of layer [--] solutions, such as Base, and their potential to provide faster withdrawal times and improved security.

"The one comment I'll make is that I feel bad that @solana and other projects are getting hit in this way. They don't deserve it and if ethereum ends up "winning" through all other blockchains getting kicked off exchanges that's not an honorable way to win and in the long term probably isn't even a victory. This is especially true since the real competition is not other chains it's the rapidly expanding centralized world that is imposing itself on us as we speak. I wish all honorable projects a fair outcome in this whole situation"

"Regular reminder: A key property of a blockchain is that even a 51% attack cannot make an invalid block valid. This means even 51% of validators colluding (or hit by a software bug) cannot steal your assets. However this property does not carry over if you start trusting your validator set to do other things that the chain does not have control over - at that point 51% of validators can collude and give a wrong answer and you don't have any recourse"

These are not minor improvements; they are shifting Ethereum into being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network.

"The scaling hierarchy in blockchains: Computation data state Computation is easier to scale than data. You can parallelize it require the block builder to provide all kinds of "hints" for it or just replace arbitrary amounts of it with a proof of it. Data is in the middle. If an availability guarantee on data is required then that guarantee is required no way around it. But you can split it up and erasure code it a la PeerDAS. You can do graceful degradation for it: if a node only has 1/10 the data capacity of the other nodes it can always produce blocks 1/10 the size. State is the hardest."

"Airdrops are a fascinating initial use case for ZK / blockchain-based identity / credential / attestation frameworks. The goals of an airdrop are: (i) distribute to community members and not randos who will all immediately sell (ii) reward contributions to the project (iii) be reasonably egalitarian but some disparity is ok (iv) resist extractive/adversarial farming These are exactly the properties that identity / credential / attestation frameworks (eg. see ideas in ) are trying to achieve. Hence for anyone building such frameworks it makes perfect sense to use token issuance as an initial"

"The risk of politician coins comes from the fact that they are such a perfect bribery vehicle. If a politician issues a coin you do not even need to send them any coins to give them money. Instead you just buy and hold the coin and this increases the value of their holdings passively. Furthermore there is deniability: holding the coin is in terms of financial effect a linear combination of donating to the issuer and gambling. Hence you can have the intention of doing the former but when challenged claim that you are doing the latter. You can even hold the coin privately and show that you"

In a world where physical privacy and security is declining with every passing year making sure top-tier digital privacy and security are available to everyone becomes"

"Reminder: there's also plenty of people who have lost huge amounts of crypto to loss rather than theft. Software bug forgotten password lost device paper wallet burned down in LA fire upgraded device without backing up data . lots of ways for that to happen. Because there's no attacker to go after victims don't have a strong need to talk about it. And often because they see no one to blame but themselves victims will be too ashamed to talk about it. But it happens. Often. And the truly robust wallet security solutions that our ecosystem needs to build should take loss into account too."
