Honey, wake up the kids! A new Helios has dropped.
Helios is becoming a multichain light client for Ethereum. Light clients are fundamental to Ethereum scaling. A future with thousands of rollups doesn’t feel far away, and the closer we get, the more critical rollup interoperability will become. 🧵👇

Huge news! Congrats to @jasonbadeaux and the entire Daylight team. A fantastic example of why we're excited about DePIN in distributed energy, and it's just the start. Excited to watch Daylight grow!
I’m excited to announce @a16zcrypto is leading the $9M Series A round in /daylightenergy! 🔆 Daylight is building a decentralized protocol to fund & coordinate distributed energy resources. Daylight will initially sell distributed energy resource (DER) data to energy companies. It plans to enable anyone to build a vir

I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with @greg and getting to try his banana bread. I wasn’t even hungry and ate four pieces. Do yourself a favor if you’re in nyc… go get some 🔥 bread and bring an extra pair of socks because that bread will knock yours off.
I'm excited to share Good Bread by Greg, a mini onchain bakery for onchain summer! How it works: - Order bread on Base (starts today) - Pick up your brand and hang out in NYC (starts this weekend) Let's get this bread 🍞

Just listened to @colludingnode’s funny and insightful talk at modsum, including some nifty folding schemes. Highly recommend checking out “Lightnodes Everywhere: Why and How?” when it drops on YouTube.

True. True. True.
All these Farcaster tipping currencies are basically sovereign rollups using Farcaster as a DA layer with trusted bridges to an L2. An odd consequence of this is that since Farcaster does not produce a canonical ordering, tipping is subject to double spends until the token is "bridged" to the L2.

Do you want to learn a lot from THE MAN behind Helios and Magi? Do you wish @ncitron.eth would honor you with his presence? If you’re cool you’ll join /lightclients
Do you hate trusting centralized RPC providers? Do you wish you could have nearly the security of a full node right from your phone? Then /lightclients is the place for you.

Do we think @greg should start an onchain bakery? For those of you who haven't tried his banana bread, you're really missing out.

Wrote something about zkTLS. 95% of Internet traffic uses the TLS protocol, it enables communication between 2 parties, but you don't control that data zkTLS returns data verification to its rightful owner (you) making the Internet interoperable. Read ⬇️

One of the great developers and even better guy. Ran into @mane at the zk compute @archetype event last month-- EigenLabs is lucky to have him.
Professional updates for the Farcaster folks :) I’m happy to share I’ve joined Eigen Labs as a DevRel Engineer focused on EigenDA (eigenda.xyz) where I'll be working closely with @dabit3 🐐 EigenDA is an essential piece and a catalyst for a future where decentralization = scaling. Opening the door for a new host of

Huge shout-out to @dberenzon @0xfunk @katiewav @ash whole @archetype team for putting this together. Still have to add EV3 to the list, but i'm sure it's coming up ;)
NYC is a global crypto hub, home to some of the industry's most iconic companies and the destination for a constant inflow of builders We wanted to make it simpler for everyone here to find and collaborate with each other So we built MEMPOOL.NYC Check it out and add your company if it isn't already there!

Check it out! I wrote some stuff about TLS systems, how they work and the work @eulerlagrange.eth is doing at Opacity. Will unlock a ton of consumer use-cases, let me know what you think.
