Another Ethereum team working post-quantum. The @aztecnetwork network is already resistant to "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. Next, they'll work on hardened libraries, better contract development patterns, followed by a full post-quantum migration in 2030.

A few minor corrections regarding our post on @ProtocolGuild: - $40M is the amount of value that has been distributed thus far. Total amount raised is much higher than that if measured by "when funds hit the vesting contract," but markets have fluctuated a lot since then. - 1% pledges from teams go into a four year vest, whereas other general donations go into a one year vest. - Re PG fund distribution: To limit discretion as much as possible, PG members decide how wide eligibility is, in which a contributors tenure (time-weighting) programmatically decides weighting. This makes voting as fair as possible as everyone adheres to the same criteria.

The agentic economy will run on Ethereum.

A new, unified stack for Base Chain Excited to share that we are evolving our technical roadmap, consisting of our own spec, code, and infra to accelerate the foundation of Base. This shift gives us the autonomy to ship protocol improvements more frequently and focus our resources on scaling to 1 gigagas/s. What this means for builders: - Higher Velocity: Targeting 6 hardforks per year to get you new features and fixes faster. - Massive Scale: Targeting 1 gigagas/s to support high-throughput apps without congestion. - Extreme Reliability: Targeting 99.99% non-empty blocks and predictable, low fees. - Simpler Design: A maximally simple spec that’s easier to audit and build on. Along with this, we will take a more active role in managing our own upgrade schedule and stack: allowing us to build what the ecosystem needs, at the speed it needs, while remaining deeply aligned with Ethereum.
