In the grand scheme of the things, computers are still very early, and see how far we have gone in the last couple of decades.
I also think we've barely scratched the surface of what computing could become. We're still dealing with fundamental limitations; energy consumption, heat, memory bottlenecks, hardware costs, and the way humans interact with machines.

Stupid people play fair in a game that has always been rigged. Don’t fool yourself with rights and wrongs; there are none. Society made rules to protect itself, and we’ve been trained to obey them. If a butterfly and a bug land on your leaf, you’ll kill the bug, not the butterfly, though both are insects. Rules, norms, and laws were created by the strong to control the weak. Never follow, and never play fair.

The more intelligent you are, the less you need cunning or deception to get what you want.
Manipulation, scheming and deception are almost always a workaround for someone who lacks the actual ability to win straightforwardly.
The smartest people you know are usually the most direct. It is the lesser minds who have to compensate with games:

I spent years at Microsoft. Windows was built on ideas borrowed from Xerox PARC. PARC was ten years ahead of everybody and nobody outside Palo Alto noticed until Jobs walked out the door with it.
There's a big difference with @SuiNetwork though.
Read @kostascrypto’s list: zkLogin, post quantum, SCION for validators, proof of solvency, native multisig, Walrus, SEAL, Nautilus. What isn’t live yet can be seen in Mysten’s research papers, linked below.
Sui Threat Intelligence is scanning contracts on the network. Hashi, live on testnet, lets Sui sign transactions on the bitcoin network using a tricked out implementation of threshold Schnorr + FROST. Separately, VAA with @googlecloud was announced this month so a company can prove its AI agents did only what they were told.
No one in Silicon Valley will ever forget the lessons of PARC. The difference with Mysten is that most of this has already shipped. It’s live on Sui's 40M TPS sports car of a blockchain and most of it is open source. The world hasn’t caught up to what we’re operating here. It soon will.
As far as I know, Mysten Labs is the only blockchain company that has consistently stayed one step ahead when it comes to security best practices.
A few examples of what our cryptographers and security researchers have pioneered:
- Native multisig without additional gas costs. We deliberately designed Sui to accommodate larger transaction sizes, making multisig a first-class security feature rather than an expensive add-on. Our cryptographers were among the first to productionize advanced multisignature techniques, even before Facebook’s Libra.
- Cryptographic agility and post-quantum readiness. From pioneering production-ready stateless post-quantum signatures to developing the first backward-compatible post-quantum solutions, our team has consistently pushed the boundaries. This includes enabling cryptographic upgrades and key rotation while preserving the same blockchain address (afaik the first crypto agility design in decentralized ledgers is attributed to my team).
- Modern hardware wallet security. We’ve recently taken additional steps to incentivize startups to build the next generation of secure hardware wallets. With what we see in the market, this is one way.
- AI-powered vulnerability detection. Sui was the first blockchain to introduce AI-driven bug detection through BugDar, back then presenting at Google’s Next conference. We knew AI would mess up security.
- Recovering the seemingly unrecoverable. We created KelpMe, introducing innovative approaches to recovering assets after mnemonic loss or accidental transfers to incorrect addresses, problems traditionally considered practically impossible to solve. KelpMe also won the Bybit Hackathon, demonstrating the real-world potential of this innovation.
- Zero-knowledge authentication as a first-class primitive. We went far beyond using ZK for privacy or scaling. With innovations such as zkLogin and ZEE-CAT, and for a while the most used ZK app in the planet, we demonstrated how zero-knowledge cryptography could fundamentally transform authentication.
- Proofs of solvency and exchange accountability. Undeniably, we’re the leaders. Our cryptographers designed some of the most advanced proof-of-solvency protocols and identified critical weaknesses in approaches used by major exchanges and auditing firms.
- World-class academic research at startup speed. Mysten Labs has systematically pushed the boundaries of academic research productivity, achieving publication records that are extraordinary for a startup. Our researchers reached an incredible milestone of 5 papers accepted at ACM CCS and 4 at Financial Cryptography (FC) in the same year, two of the world’s most prestigious venues in cybersecurity and applied cryptography. And so many best paper awards.
- Binary transparency with Walrus sites and crypto guard. Reality is we should have pushed further making it the standard for any crypto website, but at the same time we indeed genuinely try to fix the internet.
- Scion from our Swiss team, IMO the future of internet communication, kill DoS, native packet protection.
That’s a phenomenal achievement even for established university research groups, let alone a startup simultaneously building and securing a major blockchain ecosystem.
And these are just a few examples.
When you consider the size of our team and the breadth of its contributions, even compared with the much larger Ethereum ecosystem, I genuinely believe Mysten Labs has been one of the most impactful organizations in blockchain cybersecurity, with innovations that are applied in the whole financial sector.
What makes this particularly remarkable is that we didn’t just publish research or build theoretical solutions. We repeatedly turned cutting-edge cryptographic research into production systems, often years ahead of broader industry adoption. No other org ever came close to that. Now with the AI vision of Evan, Mysten will do more miracles 🤞

This is something I used to ask myself until I realised that we live in a low-trust society.
It's often easier to scam Westerners precisely because they come from high-trust societies, and we mistake that trust for stupidity.
Take the US, for example. You can print your own check, deposit a check by simply taking a picture with your banking app, and even start using some of the money before the check has fully cleared. You don't even have to visit a bank.
Compare that with most parts of Africa, where something as simple as forgetting your banking app password can mean physically visiting a bank branch with all your identification documents.
We have become so accustomed to suspicion and distrust that we mistake our cunningness for intelligence and other people's trust for foolishness.
We think we are smarter because we are harder to fool, without realising that we have built societies where nobody trusts anybody.

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.

We’re helping run a contest for AI-written books with Prix Thélyson-Orélien, with the winner being decided by a Prediction Market on Seer.
The contest takes its name from the novelist Thélyson-Orélien, whose book was removed from the Goncourt longlist amid allegations that AI wrote it.
This contest flips the idea on its head and invites participants to submit AI-written books for a grand prize of $5,000.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of George George Alainengiya Alainengiya Junior, our beloved CTO, on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
@web3Bard101 was an important part of the Payfrica family, contributing his time, talent, and vision to what we are building together. Beyond his role, he was an amazing person whose presence meant a great deal to those around him. His passing is a painful loss to our entire team, and we are deeply saddened that we have to say goodbye to someone who was such an important part of our journey.
While words cannot fully express the weight of this loss, we remain grateful for the time we shared with him and the contributions he made to our team. His absence will be deeply felt, and he will always be remembered as part of the Payfrica story.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, loved ones, and everyone mourning his passing. We pray that God grants them the strength to endure this difficult time, surrounds them with comfort and peace, and gives them hope in the midst of their grief.
May the Lord receive George into His eternal peace, and may he rest in perfect peace. May the beautiful memories he leaves behind continue to live on in the hearts of everyone whose life he touched.
Rest in peace, George. You will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. 🕊️🤍

专制、独裁、集权的坏处就在于，你可以找到这个政权的直接责任人。
正如老子在《道德经》中所说：“受国之垢，是谓社稷主；受国不祥，是为天下王。”
民主选举的好处就在于，根本没有人需要为这个政权的一切事情负责。
法国在历史上殖民了如此之多的国家，在阿尔及利亚进行大屠杀，在越南进行大屠杀，谁该为此负责？
一群白人至上主义者在那里表达不满，说什么：压根没有黑人歧视，压根没有种族歧视，我们白人才是真正的被歧视者。
这就是典型的民主制度，谁该为阿尔及利亚大屠杀负责？
戴高乐吗？
不，他可是民选的总统，他的屠杀是经过议会授权的。
那么，应该由那些议员负责吗？
不，议员们是由人民选出来的。
那应该由谁来负责？是每一个将他们选上去的法国人吗？
如果按照这种逻辑，你们每一个法国人都是有罪的。
因为民主选举为你们的国家提供了合法性，你们将手中的权力交给了国家，而国家使用你们授权的权力去屠杀他国人民，你们怎么能说自己没有罪呢？
亲手杀死一个人，和选出一个强盗去杀死一个人，这两者的区别到底有多大？
强盗可以辩解：我没有罪，因为我并不想杀人，是你们选我来杀的。
选民也可以辩解：我没有罪，我只是将他选上去，并没有要求他杀人。
这就是你们这群懦夫所青睐的民主选举制的优点。你们想要杀人，却没有勇气承担杀人的责任，所以你们选出了一群刽子手。
我可以罗列一大群这些刽子手的名单。

There's a kind of discipline and maturity in knowing how to keep good news private until you're ready to share it, handle bad news without telling the entire world and work through personal problems without making everyone a participant. Not everything needs an audience.

As a Norwegian studying political science, I agree with you. Our systems rely on the goodwill of politicians as long as people are not informed enough to vote rationally, which we know is not the case. As long as the entire voting pool is not democratically minded democracy is a fraud. People vote mostly based on what their acquaintances vote or which politician is most relatable personality wise, not at all based on policy. Democracy as long as there is capital, as long as people are afraid for their livelihood, and as long as we do not all counciously agreeing on what is the point of democracy, is a distraction from actually taking responsibility and considering your own and your communities needs. We get to free ourselves of responsibility and lay it on the elected politicians, while there is no guarantee that they are actually responsible. It is a philosophical farce with no actual root in reality. When you ask people what they voted (which i do often) most people excuse their answer: "but I don't know that much about politics". Democracy is just market reliance at this point and most markets are not free.
