🧵 We just achieved a cryptographic breakthrough: the first working integration of real Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) operations within a Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine (zkVM).
This solves a fundamental trust problem in privacy-preserving computation. Here's why it matters:
I built a complete smart contract indexing system for a protocol today. I used Claude. The interesting thing was I did not get very specific on what I wanted.
Instead I gave Claude a URL to the documentation of the indexing software, and the URL to the smart contract protocol.
Claude then read the documentation and created many small scripts to set up its environment. One of the most interesting scripts was it was calling the block explorer to get the smart contract ABI, but when it found that the smart contract address referenced in the documentation was a proxy, it then built scripts to find all the proxies read them to find their implementations and then index both the proxies and the implementation together
The focus and persistence on problem-solving was really very incredible to watch. The end result is a full smart contract, indexer indexing across multiple networks, supporting proxy contracts indexing even the proxy contract state, really cool stuff and nearly completely autonomously.
The use case is a smart contract (a multisig) that will only process a transaction if it verifies a tx simulation of itself was run and didn't, say, transfer all the money out?
"DeFi and the American Spirit" - what an exciting phrase! .@HesterPeirce delivered powerful insights at the SEC's recent roundtable with this title. Her remarks perfectly captured the balance between innovation and proper oversight:
Lately I've met crypto people who have been detained at the US border, their digital devices duplicated and searched, their visas revoked and deported.
I've brought this up a few times over the past couple years, most recently on a Safe call - the centralized Transaction Service is both a security risk and a missed opportunity for sustainable SAFE token utility.
So I decided to flesh out the full architecture... 🧵
At @tallyxyz, we're energized by emerging regulatory frameworks and legal innovations that enhance crypto governance safety and performance. One particularly compelling development is BORGs (Bounded Objective-Reinforced Governance structures), pioneered by @lex_node.
Just did a deep dive comparing @arbitrum DAO vs @Uniswap governance with AI tools 🤖
📊 Key findings: • Arbitrum: 9x more participants (444K vs 48K) due to L2 accessibility • Uniswap: More operational maturity despite fewer participants • Delegate chats have totally different vibes - "startup energy" vs "boardroom focus"
Used @Tally_xyz API + Telegram analysis to compare participation patterns, proposal activity, and community cultures. AI made it possible to analyze thousands of messages and governance data in minutes.
Different approaches: Arbitrum prioritizing accessibility, Uniswap prioritizing efficiency
This is my first hackathon in a long time, and I was super excited to sit down with fellow builders for the weekend and build something cool. I built Relative Market Share Perpetuals (RMSP) on @arbitrum - a way to trade your conviction without betting on price. 🧵
