Still blown away daily by the degree to which we've sped up all of Zcash's cryptography. Its fun to just pick a primitive, and see how far its been sped up since where we started. Proving key setup is 8x faster, and only going to keep getting better.

Here’s the full recap of what we built for 3rd place (most users).
Replying to @SpaceXSI
3rd Place: ThinkVoice lets you speak without moving your mouth by combining Grok Voice with brain-sensing technology. It understands the conversation, suggests what you might want to say next, and lets you select a response using subtle motor movements. @Daniel_farinax @yangchasiu @elithpalomino

sf @spacexai grokathon was collaborative and high energy. grok is one of the fastest out-of-the-box frontier models i've built with great to work with experts @elithpalomino and @Daniel_Farinax on hard/software dev. people keep saying they could use this irl. free app soon.

Still 4 hours at the Grokathon in San Francisco. So many talented teams building cool things! Very inspiring! The event was organized very well by the @spacexai team 👏👏👏
At Grokathon from @spacexai today we’re building ThinkVoice, an assistive voice system that combines Grok Voice with brain‑sensing technology. You can interact with the app by making subtle head movements, nod to move, blink to select. Grok accesses your health metrics via Apple Health and knows the context of your current conversation, so it suggests responses you can choose from. Grok Voice’s latency and quality are remarkable, which can help people who have difficulty speaking or moving to have smooth conversations without extensive motion. Works on iPhone and Apple Watch! The team: @yangchasiu, @elithpalomino, @Daniel_Farinax

Because driving a sports car isn’t about having the best tech, it’s about the experience. This is why hybrid super cars continue to depreciate while we see the last of the naturally aspirated & analog sports cars rapidly appreciate. Electric cars have no soul!

This is what SSS-tier visual design looks like. A rare sight of creativity at this level in my entire life. AI may replicate this based on Mike made, BUT AI will never ever made this kind of quality WITHOUT references. Even with references, will never come close I believe.
I've just spoken at @webexpo in Prague - this me making my slides for my talk...

In the Stormlight Archives, there is a character (a king) who magically wakes up each day with a random intelligence level. His caretakers test him in the morning to determine whether he’s capable of leading his country that day or is basically just given crayons.
Heads up: @claudeai is an idiot this morning.

Ethena expanding into the non-crypto basis trade is really interesting. RWA perps have exploded this year, and they may become an even larger market than crypto perps before long. Crypto is ultimately only one slice of the future of on-chain derivatives. At the beginning of the year, I predicted that RWA perps would become >20% of the DeFi derivatives market, and we've already hit that on many days because of Tradexyz. Ethena is evolving as the market evolves. Love to see this. And if/when crypto basis comes back, can organically shift exposure back. (investor)
Since 10/10 Ethena was poorly positioned for what has been a material regime change. In the last few months we have been building out the infrastructure to securely access alternate sources of safe and scalable collateral to better position the business for these periods of downturn. This is an important piece of work which should have been done a long while ago, but now positions USDe backing to experience less rate volatility during periods of suppressed crypto native interest rates. Going forward, once approved by the independent risk committee, USDe will have access to: -Basis on non crypto assets including commodities and equities -Institutional triparty collateralized lending via @coinbase @krakenfx @Anchorage and others -Prime lending across CeFi and @HyperliquidX -Liquid high quality non-tbill RWA exposures Each of the above represent multi-billion capacity opportunities with that will now sit alongside the existing USDe collateral base to improve the product resilience through the cycle.

This lineup makes me want to send my kids to Stanford. This is better than GTC. Honestly I want to know how to sneak into this class.
