Finally Graduated! ๐
Over the last 2 years, I got the opportunity to work on really interesting blockchain problems with some of the smartest people I know.
The only struggle was having to switch contexts between the degen web3 life and the academic life of a CS student.
@haydenzadams
Disagree, the only incentive celebrities have to launch their own coin is to make more money off of their fans.
In almost all cases they don't have the intention or the bandwidth to support any of the games/concepts they build around it.
Big Day Today!
My tutorial on How to create an NFT marketplace launches today for
@metaschool_
Had been working on this for quite some time now
Check it out here for free!
I might be biased, but I believe this is a really nice introduction to the basics ๐
For some reason, if I honestly think about if I want the crypto market to go up or down.
My honest answer is always down.
I think a lot of real believers in the technology might share this feeling.
Jordan Peterson arguing with chatGPT is probably the most hilarious thing I have seen in a while๐๐๐
The fact that he is getting angry at it like a real human -
โ So either you canโt count, or you lied. Which is it? โ AHAHA
A little
#SVB
recap for those who just woke up to this weekend storm -
1. SVB is a major US bank which had a lot of tech startup customers.
2. They held most of their funds in long term bonds. When FED pumped interest rates, the value of these bonds fell

Just had to reject a candidate, because he was clearly googling his answers during the interview lol.
The sad part is that he was actually doing well before googling them๐คฆ
I find the amount of cool stuff being built in the web3 space perpetually overwhelming.
I sit down to build one thing, and I see something even cooler being built which I now also want to do.
A quick write-up about the agent I made for the Searchers of Nottingham CTF ๐
Very fun to learn about the psychology of builder auctions, using this simplified MEV world.
Here is a fun little tweet for all of the freelance developers out there.
High paying work exists, you will get decent offers from Twitter, this is an amazing place
But don't forget to have fun once in a while with scam artists๐
@archiexzzz
share your ss as well
Will be receiving my first big crypto paycheck soon.
I want to use most or all of it in trying out and learning about the most innovative crypto products.
Till now, I have this in mind ๐งต -
My internship with
@ranchimallFLO
officially came to an end on February 25th!
An amazing learning experience, got to work on the FLO blockchain which is a fork of bitcoin.
Worked on ECDSA signatures and learned about the fundamentals of Elliptical Curve Cryptography.
I feel like there are 2 types of people in the world -
1) Those who would rather be a small part of something big
2) Those who would rather be a big part of something small
Which one are you?
I would like to thank
@SBF_FTX
for giving me the opportunity to donate to the Democratic Party in the US, just by sitting at home in India and depositing my money on FTX.
Crypto has truly enabled cross border payments!
ChatGPT just solved a theory of computation practice question for me, the night before a quiz, after I spent an hour on it with friends.๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

A thread summarizing all the information on the Solana hack till now -

Not a vulnerability with the chain, affected transfers are not 3rd party, the private keys have been compromised. Meaning there is no way to stop the attack other than shutting down the chain
One of the biggest myths about cryto currency in general is that there are no fundamentals to their value.
And if there are no fundamentals, then all of the gains are just a bubble.
Let's debunk this -

Elfomo did 15k Volume in 24 hours, on a shadow pool with just 8k TVL ๐คฏ
Can't wait to see what we can do together when deposits open for everyone!๐ค
Okay so I learnt a really cool thing about smart contracts.
You should not assume your smart contract will be initialized with 0 ether.
Someone can predetermine your contract address and send money to it before it is deployed.
The CowSwap mooing sound is becoming a real problem.
Every time I hear it, I get a micro dopamine hit, that some swap just executed .
The problem is โฆ. I live in India. ๐ฎ
Got invited to my first web3 meet-up in delhi.
Amazing people
A lot of innovation
And amazing insights by VCs like
@howdy_akshay
And the founders of
@BlivClub
Looking forward to interacting with more web3 folk in the delhi community!
If youโre dreading a long car journey,
Try working out front running attack vectors on CPMMs with arbitrary price shifts
And youโll be at your destination in no time
Just finished my first Twitter space.
72 people tuned in here and there!
Awesome experience, talked about Defi, Aave Flash Loans, Smart contact security and The 2016 DAO hack
Looking forward to more๐
"I'm so looking forward to attending the best Ethereum conference in Europe. I'll be there from July 5th - 7th and can't wait to meet new people and learn more about crypto. Thank you

Plant buddies,
Tips on plant care
Ignore your plant, if you pay too much attention it becomes weak plant.
Ignore and make strong plant.
Good luck.
Just to be clear the HOT AMM doesnโt magically make passive LPing profitable.
It only gives them a level playfield
The real profitability highly depends on the MM algorithm the pool uses, and thatโs why we are excited to partner with

Surprisingly no annoying college work this weekend.
I call it -
The weekend of crypto!
1. Going to learn
#Cairo
,
2. Write production level solidity (or atleast try to)
3. And read EVM fundamentals from the ethereum book
Three months ago we started with the idea of decentralizing and atomizing the work done in completing a project. Today

What are some good deposit-and-forget protocols for stable, sensible yield on Eth on Ethereum chain?

A bit more than Lido
Much less than Luna

what an effort from the team, congrats! they gave all they had through the Merge and after, legends
users keep pushing - it is getting better every day thanks to you!
Somewhere out there is a twitter account with 0 followers, 0 following and no activity.
Which will soon revolutionise on chain value exchange.

Another all nighter to complete end semester course project for Applied Cryptography :)
Life is uhm โฆ okay
Thankfully chose ZKPs as the research topic so if you know wtf FRI and Fiat Shamir transform is, then I need your help๐
I have felt unbelievable FOMO for the last 2 years because I could never spend as much time working on crypto as I wanted to.
Grateful that I can spend my energy doing just these things now -
1. Make Valantis HOT a success
2. Learn rust
3. Contribute to open-source projects
My environmental studies professor, citing sources in his lecture slides like ๐-
P.S that is why we shouldn't be forced to study subjects like these :')
Was going to max leverage a small amount of

I have known Tanishk for quite some time.
His knowledge about Blockchain and Web3 domain is unreal.๐
He is the first person i contact if i have any doubts regarding Web3/blockchain.
Highly recommend beginners to checkout his tutorial. ๐
Random thought:
If we could build some clever swapping mechanism for stablecoins that mimics forex markets.
Then from just one stablecoin let's say
#DAI
, we would be able to build stable coins for all currencies.

The more I study about microeconomics, the more grateful I feel about working in tech.
In most market equilibriums, the best way to improve the well-being of all parties is to improve technology.
Working in tech is god's work.

Snapshot proof of reserves have no value.
It just says - โI had the money when the snapshot was takenโ
We need continuous proof of reserve systems!
Okay so how does this work.
If I am being paid in crypto for my job, will I be taxed according to the income tax slab, or will all of the crypto I earn be considered investment, and whenever I liquidate it I will pay 33% tax?
And there we go! Goerli has merged ๐ผ ๐ฅณ
Shout out to all client teams, contributors and the whole

HOT from the oven, our first DEX design is here!๐จโ๐ณ
If youโre a solver, LP or MEV nerd, youโll really like this one.

Comparing auditors publicly seems like a good thing for the industry.
Dev teams have the right to know the merit of each auditing firm.
Audits are expensive, and bad audits that give a false sense of security could be catastrophic.
Feel like public information/data about

Our program offers students and graduates worldwide a rare opportunity to learn how Ethereum works at its core, and to contribute to its evolution through exciting and challenging
I'll be hosting this space on innovation in blockchain tomorrow!
Super excited
We will start off with some discussion about the DeFi space and blockchain fundamentals
And then we'll open the floor to everyone to discuss any ideas they have, and we'll help you implement them!
Why is the Dawn of Defi so important?
Not to bash any NFT enthusiasts around me. But I feel the growth of Defi actually brings blockchain back to its roots. Which is revolutionizing the closed-off & "centralized" way traditional finance works.
If youโre going to be at EthCC,
And you absolutely hate IL, cringe when someone says LVRs, think that DeFi LPs are the real heroes, and are working on how to protect them.
Then we should talk :)
(DMs open)
Have been going through various ERCs for the past few days.
Never realized how informative it was.
Really a great place for developers to get new ideas and learn about "the next big things" in the industry
Okay, overflow and underflow concepts in solidity are super tricky.
You can't see them even if they are right in front of you!
Completed the first 5 levels of
