Nethermind Client 2.0.0 is out. It changes how the node stores Ethereum's state: archive nodes drop from ~30 TB to ~2 TB, you choose the history you keep, and blocks process 2–3× faster than the previous release on a fresh node. Nine years since the first commit. The fastest execution software we've ever built. Breaking changes; read the notes before upgrading. Release: github.com/NethermindEth/net…

I got tired of "only engineers get Jev" meta and set up some benches. Jev is a decision API — situation in, fixed menu out. That simple. I ran it against open-weight Laya and a the fly brain on the same public benches with $300 hardware. Article ↓

ETH is running. On perps, longs pay funding. On f(x), longs get paid. ETH xPOSITIONs: 10% APR on your fxUSD debt. Any leverage. That's: - 20% on your capital at 3x - 60% at 7x. fxMINT: borrow fxUSD against ETH above 70% LTV, earn 10% APR on your loan.

Wall Street is buying privacy from a brokerage account. The market is finally admitting what cypherpunks have said for 30 years: money that everyone can watch is money that can be used against you. But there is a question nobody in this trade is asking. Where is the private dollar? Because you don't live in ZEC. You live in DOLLARS. You save in dollars, you pay in dollars, you measure your life in dollars. And every dollar onchain today is the opposite of private. Every balance is a public record, sitting under an issuer who can freeze it with one transaction. We built digital cash, then handed it a surveillance camera and a kill switch. fxUSD is the answer to that question. It's the first stablecoin that can be minted privately on Ethereum. Through @RAILGUN_Project and @anondotinc, your ETH goes in shielded and your dollars come out shielded. No visible minter. No public position. No issuer who can freeze it. Hold it, send it, put it to work in DeFi, and never step back into the open. A dollar that is yours the way cash is yours. And it lives on the one chain that has actually been through the fire. A nation state sanctioned privacy code on Ethereum. Developers were arrested. Everyone said privacy on Ethereum was finished. The sanctions were thrown out. The code never stopped running. Not for a single block. That's what a real privacy test looks like. Not a price chart. A government trying to switch it off, and failing. Ethereum passed it. fxUSD is built on top of it. You don't have to sell your ETH. You don't have to leave Ethereum. You don't have to choose between privacy and a dollar you can actually use. The market just figured out that privacy matters. The private dollar is already here.

Task: explain Harbor to your frens like they’re 10 🫡 Built on @protocol_fx v1 architecture, Harbor markets give you two options: ⚓ ha -> exposure to assets like ETH, BTC or EUR + more $ on top of it ⛵ hs -> leverage trade without paying for it and without being liquidated

We got an important step closer towards unified liquidity between L2s and Ethereum via @etheconomiczone. Here is a @CoWSwap trade settled on L2 while using liquidity from L1. Bridging tokens out and receiving other tokens back all happens atomically! Public testnet soon!

1,370 FXN. That's all the new FXN entering the market each week, as of 17th Sep (block 25,997,848). Emissions were cut 10% yesterday, automatically and on schedule. Meanwhile fxUSD supply, fxSAVE deposits and protocol revenue keep moving the other way. Shrinking emissions. Growing protocol. You do the math.

For thirty years we've argued that software deserves First Amendment protection because software is speech. But the Constitution gives us another reason: software is a press. The Free Press Clause protects not merely expressive outputs but the individual's freedom to possess and use technologies for producing and disseminating expression. The founding-era printing press is the paradigmatic example. That is the original understanding of the clause. Software and open-weight generative models are modern instances of the same constitutional category. Regulation directed at their capacity to produce or disseminate expression and an Americans' right to own and control them directly implicates the Press Clause even when government characterizes the regulated object as a machine rather than speech.
