Lots of wrong/bad scaling takes on my feed. For the sake of the ecosystem please don't try to hype what rollups do unless you're building one and know its limits. You're creating unrealistic expectations. Just wait for the projects to ship.

Layman explanation: The chain was secured by 100 tokens, and 150 tokens existed at some price. After LUNA inflation, the chain is still secured by 100 tokens, but 10000000 tokens exist, at 1/1000th of the price. Attacking the chain becomes trivially cheap.

The Terra blockchain was officially halted at a block height of 7603700. Terra validators have decided to halt the Terra chain to prevent governance attacks following severe $LUNA inflation and a significantly reduced cost of attack.

New Command added to Foundry: `forge run` Now you can do `forge run /path/to/Contract.sol` to run a single file contract anywhere on your computer as a "script". Also supports: 1. Cheatcodes 2. Mainnet forking 3. Debug logs @samczsun u up?

one of the things I've come to appreciate after working together with @hasufl for almost a year, is the value of re-explaining a topic from first principles, assuming few/zero priors from the reader

The torch has been passed. Appreciate all the work the @dapptools team has put in over the years and the trust on us to keep the ball rolling. Onwards! Foundry v0.2.0 post coming this is week.

ethereum will undergo a new scaling debate in the next 2yrs as it receives competiton from compute from fast l1s and da from sharded data l1s. we'll need to think hard about the UX of reviving/accessing expired state and blob data. we'll solve state/blob growth. watch closely.

Come work with us! Plenty of cutting-edge ideas we're interested in (see screenshot for a non-exhaustive list). Intend to be super hands-on here, looking to keep building out the infra stack and eventually move up to the application layer. Onwards.

Paradigm is looking for EIRs and deep collaborations at the seed/A stage. Bring your own idea, or collaborate on one of ours. Either way, work closely with our investing and research teams to bring a project to life. We currently have the bandwidth for 3-5 of these projects...

Brutal post. I didn't try doing a PhD because I was not accepted anywhere I applied, but seeing things like this and comparing it to doing open research in crypto, I know where I want to be.
