"What's OP_CAT and why do I care about it Bitcoin's computer is a bit like a clunky scientific calculator the kind used in high school. Each button is called an "op_code." And from time to time the Bitcoin community may agree on adding a new button. OP_CAT is one such potential button. Satoshi added it then removed it back in the day. What OP_CAT does is something pretty simple: it joins together two strings of characters like "copy-paste" so it's a pretty simple and safe button. But if you add it to the scientific calculator that is Bitcoin suddenly you allow Bitcoin's computer to verify" @EliBenSasson on X 2025-07-23 14:09:25 UTC 40.9K followers, 3948 engagements

"Why am I bullish on Starknet Best tech. True TVL and DeFi volume could go higher. But I am thinking long term. The ecosystem is brewing waiting for another spark and the spark will come. And when it does users and devs will discover that best tech means best UX best security best features and those will not be reduced once activity goes up. Why is it the best tech - Next-gen and best-ever smart contract language. Yes Cairo is much better than Solidity or Solanas Rust. - Next-gen smart accounts (thanks to native account abstraction) - better UX for end users along with top-tier self-custodial" @EliBenSasson on X 2025-07-22 08:00:28 UTC 40.9K followers, 51.2K engagements

"Story time -- The fastest prover in the west and how it came about. When we founded StarkWare in 2018 we set to build the first production-grade STARK prover. At the time the limiting factor was gas cost on Ethereum. It was simplest and cheapest to build a prover using huge numbers (256-bit ones). This led to a simple STARK prover that we knew could be made more efficient by reducing field size. Fast forward to 2023. The whole world by now is convinced that zkSTARKs are the end game and many teams start to build systems using small fields that lead to faster provers. In summer 2023 we started" @EliBenSasson on X 2025-07-22 09:32:29 UTC 40.9K followers, 11.2K engagements
""Disrupt the industry" has become a buzzword by now but I think StarkWare and Starknet really did disrupt the industry. I remember the days when we argued with the entire ecosystem that ZK-STARKs are the most scalable and secure way to scale blockchains and Im really happy (and proud) that today ZK-STARKs have gone from a niche moon-math dont-see-how-its-gonna-work thing to THE obvious endgame for scaling.

"I have a lot of respect for Solana but Starknet is better. It has higher scale and a better approach to scale - which is not by increasing the CPU/memory of those who want to track the network and validate it. Let me repeat that: NOT BY INCREASING CPU/MEMORY OF THOSE WHO WANT TO TRACK THE NETWORK AND VALIDATE IT. Starknet can support massive compute (for perps gaming other TPS-hungry use cases) that Solana cannot offer meaning Starknet's heavy-computing exchanges (like Extended and Paradex) will give better value to users.

The safety of these Runes isn't guaranteed by Bitcoin's core protocol but rather relies on indexers to parse and interpret them correctly.
