Do I have friends heading to Defcon this year?

Aleo uses nested amortization to make recursive proofs practical. Rather than re-executing every transaction on every node, validators verify succinct proofs. This is the shift from mainframe computing to personal computing for blockchains.

The craft of working with humans will be luxury - its likely that we will forget how to do it

Alex and I are on a quest to understand how we can use cryptography beyond digital systems. What are new trust building blocks that we can build with nature? how can we use cryptography to secure physical interactions? I am so glad @ARIA_research is the home for this effort

shoutout to my co-authors @iamnotnicola and sarath, to @harryfjenkins, @ilangur, @EngineerEdith, joshua for their help shaping this doc, and to the many individuals within ARIA and externally who generously shared their feedback 🙏 onwards! ps -- below some cool resources

.@RobinhoodApp is going all in on crypto, and it's powered by Arbitrum. Today's news is a massive moment for Arbitrum, a massive moment for Ethereum, and a massive moment for crypto. Here's why it matters🧵

Bitcoin cryptographers will literally solve witness encryption instead of going to therapy.
