Join us @EFDevcon Privacy Hub on Thursday 5th November for the Practical Privacy Day.
We have an awesome lineup of cracked devs, awesome community leaders, and privacy champions that are pushing privacy forward for all users.
It's going to be an amazing day full of practical tips, hardware demos, and spicy discussions.
excited to be hosting all these amazing, talented people at the @EFDevcon tomorrow at the privacy hub
pls come and make me happy

More like Ethereum, less like SaaS.
Privacy should be a foundation, not an optional extra.
Ben (@unhappyben) from @ship_armada takes the stage at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress in Mumbai to talk about building around that principle.

What a treat to listen to @0xmikemcc and @unhappyben, back to back!
Privacy (and what you build) should just exists, even after you die. Like Ethereum.

'cause we are living in an intelligence world..
is this humanity's highest value theft ever? @grok
ok so looks like the largest crypto hack of all time, here's where we're at:
Stolen:
• ~$5.57B across Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Tron: ~$3.51B ETH, ~$1.44B BTC, ~$630M Tron.
Frozen:
• ~$2.39B in stablecoins: ~$1.567B USDT, ~$823M USDC
• Aave froze V3 and V4 on eth mainnet, precautionary but prevents the attacker from causing bad debt with illicit funds
leaves residual exposure at ~$2.6–$3.2B, beating out Feb 2025's $1.5B Bybit hack for the largest crypto heist of all time.
HUGE thank-you for joining our Armada crowdfund experiment 🙌
the idea was to start w people close to the project & have invites expand outward by word of mouth
we forecast finishing at 850k, enough shortfall of the 1m that on Oct 24 we paused whitelisting & asked backers to hold any further deposits
lots of learnings! this experiment's over, but we're not done yet :)
there's actually a ton of meaningful interest, we're still fully confident that Armada will get the support needed to succeed
again, ++grateful to our backers 🫡 you're our priority in what’s coming next
Thank you to everyone who backed Armada and gave us feedback.
We forecast the crowdfund to finish at ~850k USDC, below our 1M minimum. Rather than move the threshold or force the final amount through, we have decided to let the crowdfund close as designed.
The invite-only structure, whitelisting, and ticket-size caps made participation harder than intended, and we’ve learned a lot from that.
All contributors will be able to reclaim 100% of their USDC through the contract when the crowdfund closes at 6pm UTC on 29th October.
Armada will continue, and we have not stopped working on our shielded pool.
We’re evaluating other ways to fund Armada that preserve the principles behind the crowdfund while making participation easier. Our original backers will be our priority as we plan what comes next!
chatting w the fine folks at the @Bookof_Eth about kicking off ethereum's privacy-native economy 🥾

exciting :)
ETHCluj is such a high-quality event run by high-quality people
ETHCluj is about people.
The ones who show up for themselves and for everyone else.
The ones who build collaboratively and keep going, even when things get hard.
The ones who believe that what we build togETHer matters more than what we build alone.
Next May, we meet again 🌿
