don't understand why so many debates about agent identifies. give is a public key. put it on chain. done.

For the last 30 years we were always 5 years away from Quantum Computers. But sentiment suddenly flipped. Technology is suddenly improving. In just the last couple of weeks, Google suggested Q-day could come as early as ~2029, and new research points to breaking ECC requiring far fewer qubits than previously thought. We still don’t know when quantum will come to reality. But to me, one thing is more clear than ever - when it comes, it will be sudden. For blockchains, dealing with quantum is both a blessing and a curse. Yes many, besides Bitcoin, support “upgrade” mechanisms. But migrating liquidity, wallets, and applications is a nightmare. @arc is built with quantum threat in mind from day one. A practical roadmap allows to both support existing ecosystem of tools and apps built around ECC cryptography, but also have quantum-safe built-in mechanisms (like signatures and checkpoints) to keep assets bullet proof. One of the most unique and interesting aspects of the architecture is that because @arc will leverage confidential compute subspace. Within that subspace, all assets, applications, and transactions will be private and PQ secure by default. So, for instance, you can still generate a traditional ECC key within the subspace, but because of the extra layer of PQ encryption build on top, the keys and interactions fully hidden from adversaries. Stay tuned for more. @jerallaire of @circle explains on @tbpn ⬇️

In the last 2 weeks, the @axelar ecosystem launched two new products leveraging its unique connections across chains: 🔗 fullport.finance/ — the gateway to bridging & trading for @HyperliquidX 💠 midas.app/mxrp — the yield-seeking asset for XRP. This is the beginning of what chain agnostic experiences will look like over the coming year.

The Senate just killed the most important crypto bill in US history. After months of bipartisan work, the GENIUS Act had real momentum. Until Elizabeth Warren rallied Democrats in a last-minute revolt to block it. Here's how politics is costing the US its financial future:

Time to unite.

I’ve only worked on standards three times in my life: 1. I led the effort to standardize BLS signatures for @ethereum (datatracker.ietf.org/doc/dra…) when the ecosystem couldn’t converge on an implementation. 2. I collaborated with many cryptographers to standardize FHE primitives (eprint.iacr.org/2019/939). 3. And now, this work with the @OpenZeppelin team. I don’t standardize things when industries are still evolving and moving fast. But this is different. The @ethereum community is falling behind due to the lack of simple APIs to follow across L2s and other chains. And it's easy to fix. Agreeing on a simple set of APIs for cross-chain messaging is like agreeing on what a snail mail envelope should look like. There’s no real innovation there at this point — most providers offer similar things. What differentiates solutions is the unique security and delivery guarantees they provide under the hood (think choosing between Amazon or USPS for shipping packages). Many application-level protocols (like intents) and middleware (explorers, wallets) need a consistent, neutral spec they can rely on to keep building. It's time to agree and move on to building!
