Base

one of my greatest joys is watching people who previously were just buyers or consumers or collectors turn into builders

there is nothing quite like watching someone realize that they can build anything they want to

Exiting 1 of my validators to test the flow. The exit queue is only 1 day, I was expecting more than that.

If you are using Metamask, Phantom, or other Web3 wallet, your privacy is at risk

The RPCs that web3 wallets use can store your ip and metadata that tell a lot about your privacy

To fix it, try running an RPC node in a TEE.

Use services like 1rpc or run your own node.

Thank you for 75K followers.

I am so thankful for Farcaster. It's such a uniquely thoughtful space on the internet, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

My life goal is to make the world open-minded. You all are a big part of that journey, and have also made me more open-minded.

Onwards to 100K.

Dromos posted this on sustainability in dex emissions. it's a little audacious

tl;dr: emissions are not short-term incentives. they're not just structurally sustainable but necessary for outcompeting in the DEX space

Someone was likely hacked for $29M (6.27M SUI) on Sui last month on December 12th, 2024. 

The stolen funds were bridged from Sui to Ethereum via Bridgers and then deposited to Tornado Cash in batches. 

Primary theft address

The victim transferred their .sui domains to a new uncompromised address shortly after the theft. Current limitations with Sui block explorers make the theft difficult to trace.

wrt protocol governance, ephemeral social feeds live at the level of fashion

these discussions _very rarely_ have deeper impact (process improvements, faster upgrades). that's why i try to get people to use other venues! (magicians, ACD, R&D Discord)
