0/ Ethereum is for financial market infrastructure: a guest thread by @malekanoms
1/ I recently co-authored a paper with ECB Director General Ulrich Bindseil, exploring how a network like Ethereum has features that represent a leap forward in financial infrastructure and enables financial products that can’t exist on TradFi rails
2/ The features in question are streaming payments, omni-asset settlement, programmability, and disintermediation
0/ You’ve probably heard people yapping about Cypherpunk, but what exactly is it and what is Ethereum’s specific brand of Cypherpunk? A guest thread by @post_polar_
1/ When I’m teaching, I condense Ethereum Cypherpunk into four key values: decentralization, permissionlessness, censorship resistance and credible neutrality.
2/ Decentralisation means power should be distributed as widely as possible among all Ethereum’s stakeholders.
2/ Migrating an existing L1 to an L2 was no small feat. We completely changed the way it operates while preserving its chain history (no regenesis needed). The upgrade was trustless—full nodes could verify the state change.
And, the canonical version of CELO moved to Ethereum!
