The privacy movement grows stronger when infrastructure builders and communities collaborate.
Our partnership with @ethstatus / @StatusL2 has helped bring conversations about secure communication, self-sovereignty and censorship resistance to thousands of people across the Ethereum ecosystem.
Together we:
• Partnered on Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 2
• Status co-founder Jarrad Hope (@jarradhope_) featured in Privacy Academy Interviews and his personal stack published
From Privacy Tools to Parallel Societies: The Neo-Cypherpunk Strategy (youtu.be/TSJmeNbbfyA)
• Cyp (@0xcyp ) participated in "Programmable cryptography meets decentralization" talk and Ethereum Privacy Ecosystem mapping at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 2
Programmable cryptography meets decentralisation ( youtube.com/watch?v=ww2Inbge…)
Ethereum Privacy Ecosystem Mapping (youtu.be/WA2PqMIO0-U)
• Status's designer Alisher (@alisher ) featured in Privacy Academy, sharing how privacy, design, and decentralization can finally work together
Why Crypto UX Is Broken and How We Can Fix It (youtu.be/W2vL1-1beto)
• Status' Protocol Research Engineer @serg_tikhomirov participated at Cypherpunk Retreat,the hands-on gathering that brought together leading builders and front-line organizers in digital privacy
• Talks at both Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 1 and 2
• Helped connect privacy builders, wallet developers and communication researchers
• Continued strengthening the cypherpunk values that inspired Ethereum in the first place
Events like Congress exist because organizations like Status continue investing in an open, private internet.
Thank you for helping build it together.
it doesn't take millions to operate a chain in 2026
in fact you can currently offer a pretty high quality L2 for less than $500k in infra per year:
sequencing+proving/RaaS: $200k
RPC: $50k
oracles (price feeds + VRF): $70k
block explorer: $20k
indexer: $15k
multisig: $25k
smart contract tooling: $30k
security monitoring: $75k
L1 costs: like $5k? lol
total: $490k per year
a few things to clarify:
> at this rate you're not getting Etherscan, Chainlink or Dune (add about $1m per year to include them all)
> to add a custodian (like Fireblock), that's another $100k recurring
> some providers might require one-time integration fees
> if you're not running a plain vanilla L2 (Linea stack, OP stack, etc.), you'll need to add audit costs for any small change you make (and this can go anywhere from $20k to $500k per audit)
of course this doesn't include team, liquidity incentives or marketing, which is actually what costs millions 🙃

The next challenge is enabling institutions to settle assets and cash across chains without exposing sensitive data or creating new settlement risk.
Linea and @bermudabayzk show that private, atomic and verifiable settlement is possible.

Protocol Guild is excited to announce that all members will receive complimentary @Keycard_ Shell hardware wallets
The tools they rely on should reflect the same values they bring to their work: open source, self-custodial, and uncompromising on security
1,196 addresses deposited a total of $12.1M and received ~14% APY in rewards and accrued yield on average
the stablecoin vault ended up delivering >26% average APY 🫡
there's still $3.3M sitting in the vaults —> this is your sign to withdraw now if you haven't already
STATUS NETWORK VAULTS // FINAL UPDATE
✅ all pre-deposit vaults are now open for withdrawals: ETH, GUSD, LINEA and SNT
✅ you've already received all rewards and accrued yield
REMINDER:
⬇️ withdraw your tokens from all vaults now: hub.status.network/pre-depos…
⭐️ LINEA withdrawals are LIVE ⭐️
get your LINEA tokens out of the vaults in 1 click:

The Status Network airdrop confirms that the era of airdrops is still alive.
The project also had 2 testnets, and these testnets were used as multipliers for those who deposited funds into the pre-deposit vault. This is a very interesting mechanic.
It’s important to understand that simply participating in a testnet to get an airdrop is now almost impossible!
@StatusL2 team, @0xcyp - please share your future plans!
Will there be more reward campaigns or anything else?
✅ AIRDROP DONE: CHECK YOUR WALLETS
- LINEA and SNT rewards have been distributed
- accrued ETH yield was also airdropped
- accrued GUSD yield to be airdropped early next week
⭐️ WITHDRAW YOUR ETH & SNT DEPOSITS ⭐️
ETH and SNT vaults are now open for withdrawals
as part of Status Network merge with Linea, funds will be bridged to Linea Mainnet once you unlock them. it takes about 20 min, then you will be able to withdraw on Linea
withdraw here: hub.status.network/pre-depos…
LINEA and GUSD vaults will open early next week

Reminder for LPs in the @StatusL2 pre-deposit campaign.
Withdrawals open in two waves
• May 20: SNT and ETH vaults
• May 26: LINEA and GUSD vaults
Estimated rewards: 30-45% APR (SNT + LINEA).
Check your rewards: hub.status.network/checker
⚠️ quick reminder to check your airdrop eligibility for the @StatusL2 pre-deposit vaults
hub.status.network/checker
if anything seems off, get in touch with us asap as we should execute the airdrops later today
The Status Network team delivered a really good airdrop, especially considering the current market conditions and the limited reward pool.
They allocated 20 million ethereum:0x1789e0043623282d5dcc7f213d703c6d8bafbb04 and 20 million $SNT which in total is only about $70K and $200K respectively. But the rewards turned out to be very solid.
That said, naturally the highest APR was in the first days, which made it the most profitable period. Overall though, decent airdrops - especially for providing liquidity and being active in the network - are still very much possible. It all depends on the team.
I want to thank the Status team and their guys. You did an excellent job and communicated with us really well.
@0xcyp respect! 🫂
Good luck to you in building on the Linea blockchain!
I hope you continue to develop and that we’ll keep collaborating in the future!

don't wanna downplay it because it's actually huge:
the Linea stack is now part of the Linux Foundation
Linea L2 client is Besu (also at the Linux FDT)
Besu is the most used L1 client by institutions (thanks Hyperledger!)
Lineth is the neutral execution layer for institutions
