This theorem (left) means, the only way you can make proofs for two different things in the same position in the same Merkle tree, is by breaking the underlying hash function. As a reviewer, you don't have to verify how… https://firefly.social/post/ff-68d0355d8e984b2ba400c4161eeb94c8?s=bsky

Many people have claimed that with AI-assisted bug finding, secure code (and hence trustless anything) will be impossible. I have a much more optimistic take, and AI-assisted formal verification is a major part of the reason why: https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2026/05/18/fv.html

Ethereum: Stability & Institutional Settlement Ethereum remains the leading choice for risk‑adjusted returns and institutional adoption. Its dominance in real‑world asset (RWA) tokenization, DeFi infrastructure, and custody solutions makes it the preferred settlement layer.
ERC‑8004 is a new Ethereum standard designed to provide a trust layer for autonomous AI agents, allowing them to safely identify, discover, verify, and interact with one another without centralized intermediaries. It acts as the missing trust infrastructure for machine‑to‑machine interactions.
Blockchain scalability follows a clear hierarchy: **computation is easiest to scale, data is harder, and state is hardest**. Computation can be parallelized or replaced with proofs, making it cheap and flexible.
When ethereum scales there will be no, "High-speed EVM chains are blockchains designed to overcome Ethereum’s scalability bottlenecks. By utilizing optimized consensus mechanisms and parallel processing, these networks offer sub-second finality, massive throughput, and significantly lower fees."
@vitalik.ca Higher blob capacity could threaten decentralization if it made nodes heavier, but PeerDAS is designed to prevent that. It increases data throughput while keeping node requirements manageable, allowing Ethereum to scale for L2s without sacrificing broad validator participation.
Full‑stack openness and verifiability refers to a world where every critical layer of the technologies we depend on—software, hardware, and certain biological systems—is open to inspection, independently verifiable, and free from hidden behavior. This idea is gaining traction.

Ethereum Price Finds Balance at Support—But the Next Move Matters
Ethereum experienced a significant price surge, successfully breaking the $3,350 resistance level. After reaching a high of $3,402, the price initiated a downward correction, currently trading above $3,280. This key support level aligns with both the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average and a bullish trend line. The price has retraced below the 23.6% Fibonacci level of its recent upward movement. If the $3,280 support holds, Ethereum might attempt another upward climb. Immediate resistance levels are seen around $3,320, then $3,350 and $3,385. Breaking $3,385 might push the price towards $3,450, potentially leading to further gains, possibly reaching $3,500 or $3,550. Conversely, failure to surpass $3,320 could trigger a decline, with support at $3,280 and $3,260. Technical indicators show the MACD losing bullish momentum, while the RSI is below 50.

Becoming a whole coiner—owning 1.0 BTC or ETH—is an increasingly rare milestone as prices rise and institutional adoption grows. For Bitcoin, fewer than 1 million addresses hold a full coin, making it a highly exclusive club representing less than 0.2% of global holders.
Ethereum and base L2: bandwidth and latency Base handles the bandwidth-latency tradeoff by acting as a high-speed execution layer that offloads its heavy data requirements to Ethereum.
Vitalik argues: Ethereum should prioritize bandwidth over latency because bandwidth can scale massively via PeerDAS and ZKPs without compromising decentralization, whereas latency is physically capped by the speed of light and the need for geographically dispersed nodes.
Blockchain modularity: Ethereum solves the trilemma through Shared Security, where Layer 2 rollups inherit the massive decentralization and protection of the mainnet, whereas Cosmos utilizes Sovereign Security, allowing each "AppChain" to operate its own independent validator set.
