Excited to see @Firelightfi partner with one of the premier DeFi vault platforms in the market and the infrastructure behind the first two protected vaults @Sentora launched a couple of weeks ago. Welcome @upshift_fi .

I've been in the tech scene long enough to know that two opposite things can be true at once:
1. The rest of the world doesn't understand how quickly things are happening in tech.
2. The tech people don't understand how slowly things are happening in the rest of the world.

when the cost of building goes to zero, the only thing that will matter is what mission you're on.

My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties.
FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.

Incredible visualization of OpenRouter data!
We have an open API for it. CC by 4.0
118 trillion tokens in one week, visualized as a crowd.
I made a site that turned real OpenRouter data into a tiny town where every AI lab is a shop.
More tokens, bigger crowd.

My new iPhone 18 Pro Max just arrived.
This looks better than on my 16 Pro Max.
My phone is way less hot.
The sound it makes is way better.
The cameras in it are way better.
I thought about keeping my phone another year.
Glad I didn’t.
And I am jealous of all you who are getting one that folds.
Because of what I do I need the best possible camera.
Into the new world we go!

The founders I've watched fail weren't quitters.
They were finishers.
Same roadmap. Same ICP. Same pitch. Nine months after the data said stop.
Grit that ignores new information isn't grit.
It's a robot with a burn rate.

Entropy — a term commonly thought of as a measure of disorder — is now known to change depending on the observer. Anthony Aguirre has defined a quantity he calls observational entropy that other researchers say helps to clarify ambiguity around this phenomenon. quantamagazine.org/what-is-e…

Another day, another announcement ;) @SentoraHQ @kamino vaults are now available at @BinanceWallet . Excited about the partnership.
Earning onchain rewards in @binancewallet just got a lot easier.
Sentora-curated vaults on @KaminoFinance now power Wallet DeFi, simplifying structured allocation across Solana lending markets.
$300,000 in rewards will be distributed across the vaults over the first 30 days.

Two days ago, we received an update from our shipping provider, ShipMonk. We're deeply saddened to share the news that the recent data breach affects more customers than originally thought.
Another 67,000 customers from the US who ordered between November 2019 and August 2021 were affected, with their full details (name, email, phone number, shipping address, order number) exposed.
All affected customers have been emailed directly. If you didn’t receive an email, then you are not affected.
Throughout our entire relationship with ShipMonk, we repeatedly requested and received written assurance confirming the deletion of the data, in line with our contract, data policy, and past communications. We are very disappointed that, despite receiving this confirmation, the data was not deleted in their systems.
Trezor systems were not compromised, and your device is secure. But please be alert for fake emails, phone calls, fraudulent letters, and potential risks to physical security.
NEVER share your wallet backup with anyone or type it into a website.
We’re terribly sorry to everyone affected. We take this matter very seriously and are working to ship anonymous delivery ASAP, so you can protect your personal information when placing an order.
For more information, visit our blog: trezor.io/blog/news/recent-c…
We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026.
The data exposed:
- Full names
- Shipping addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy).
All affected customers have been contacted separately by email.
Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts.
NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels.
We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected.
We are investigating this situation and will post updates on our blog:

I remember how excited we were when we had our first $100k day.
Next milestone is $10M per day.
Things get interesting at $10B annualized volume. Lots of things become possible that otherwise aren't because sub scale.
Annnnnnd that's a new daily spend record only 6 days removed from the last one.
$6.26M spent yesterday 🫡
@ether_fi continues to cook 🔥
