    Sucks so bad that we asked for flying cars and all we're getting so far is supercomputers in every pocket, machines that can seemingly think, worldwide internet coverage from a cloud of satellites, verifiable computing in zero knowledge, programmable sovereign money, private

    This morning @a16z crypto published our first annual State of Crypto report. 📊 It shows how far crypto has come — and how early we still are — in building the next generation of the internet. Here's a 🧵 of some highlights.

    We need an open source, multi-device, end-to-end encrypted messaging app that doesn't rely on phone numbers.

    I'm excited to share our new zero knowledge cryptography canon. Part 1: links for beginners, deep cuts on the history of zero knowledge, and cutting-edge developments and tools.

    The industry is mature enough that we can categorize tokens based on their legal, economic, and technical properties. Not all tokens are created equal. Some projects even describe their token as a Network Token or memecoin when it's really Company-backed. Links below ↯

    Magi 🟠 is a new OP Stack client for the Optimism ecosystem. Written in Rust, we hope it serves as a fast alternative to @OPLabsPBC's op-node. 🔢 client diversity = robust decentralization 🧩 more languages = more engineers 🦀 Rust = safe and fast

    In one year, Ethereum has grown from settling ~$373m per day to over $9b per day. 24x year over year growth, with only 14 transactions per second. I'm Optimistic.

    Replying to @sriramk and @JoeBiden
    Remember when X was going to die? When they were saying it was months away from shutdown? "The engineers can't fix it." Seems ludicrous in retrospect.

    When memecoins have a moment, people who know better make tortured rationalizations. Normally they might see casino behavior as zero-sum or short-term, but fomo can use the full intellect to justify itself with elaborate stories. gm to people building crypto's real potential ☀️

    Today we're sharing our biggest open source release yet: Jolt Alpha, our zkVM built new from the ground up. The UX is excellent and it's time to share what we've learned. In short: it's fast and concise. Learn more below!

    Why are we forcing institutions to collect honeypots of sensitive, slowly-changing personal data? Every layer of the financial system should exploit every cryptographic tool to minimize data collection. We have the technology to make radical privacy the default. Let's build it.
