Iโve been growing a garden from letters, numbers and punctuation.
Flower Type releases this week: 256 generative works.
Presented by @glitchresidency.
Releasing with @artblocks_io and @opensea.
A little about the flowers and how they grow ๐งต

This Month: Artist duo Operator brings Act III of their generative series, Human Unreadable, to the Whitney Museum of American Art.
The third and final act of a three-part series by @operator_______ will be performed live at the Whitney on Nov 19, 21, 22.
Act I of Human Unreadable launched on Art Blocks in May 2023 as a Curated collection of generative tokens driven by motion data, each one a randomized onchain sequence of movements that produced a unique visual artwork.
Act II (Nov 2023) allowed collectors of the original artworks to reveal and mint the underlying choreographic score tied to their token.
Act III brings the choreographic scores of the first 100 artwork tokens (#2โ101) to life in an evening-long multimedia performance. "Dancers embody the choreography, bringing the generative art out of the screen into performers."ย
For tickets to one of five live performances, visit the @whitneymuseum at the link in the thread below.

How safe is your stake?
Rollups have L2Beat. Wallets have Walletbeat. The validators securing tens of billions of dollars in staked ETH have had nothing.
Today they do. Introducing Validator Beat.

NEW: NASA has officially ended its 22-year Swift space telescope mission after a $30 million attempt to rescue the observatory using a robotic spacecraft failed.
Launched in 2004, Swift spent more than two decades studying gamma-ray bursts, among the most powerful explosions in the universe.
As atmospheric drag pulled the aging telescope closer to Earth, NASA contracted Katalyst Space Technologies to send a robotic spacecraft called LINK to capture Swift and boost it into a higher orbit.
But LINK suffered propulsion and attitude-control failures, preventing the planned rescue. It approached within 12โ15 kilometers of Swift and captured photographs, but never secured the spacecraft.
NASA confirmed Swift completed its final scientific observations on October 20 and is expected to reenter Earth's atmosphere within weeks.
The observatory detected more than 2,000 gamma-ray bursts and contributed to approximately 7,000 scientific papers during its mission.
The failed rescue underscores both the promise and technical difficulty of extending satellite lifetimes through autonomous in-orbit servicing.

Anyone can buy ETH. We put it to work.
Our partnership with @anchorage established a new standard for how institutional onchain finance should operate.
This was the first time a public company deployed to onchain protocols while maintaining custody in a qualified custodian.
Proud of the team and our CIO @sheffieldreport for driving this.
โPartnering with @anchorage was the right callโฆ
This was the first time that a public company has been able to deploy, while maintaining their custody in a qualified custodian, all onchain, leverage a bridge and deploy on an L2.โ @sheffieldreport

Stealth is over.
We're now LIVE. Accelerating Ethereum mainnet - with $3.4B ETH Total Value Boosted ๐
Sign up for free and boost your Ethereum staking performance & staking yield APY today ๐
The Optimum team is pleased to announce our first mainnet deployment, mump2p on Ethereum. With mump2p, data moves across all of Ethereum 2-3x faster, boosting validator performance and network health.
$3.4B of Ethereum stake is already being boosted by mump2p, and weโre now opening up free access for all Ethereum node operators.

I made a visualization of EIP-8288 aka "recursive mempool aggregation," my new favorite EIP of all time because it perfectly encapsulates the thesis of the "cryptographic world computer" -- a system whose scalability *increases*, not decreases, with the level of decentralization.
In a previous tweet I explained how EIP-8288 achieved this seemingly impossible feat, but one gif is worth a thousand words.
Essentially, EIP-8288 leverages Ethereum's decentralized mempool as a parallel ZK proving cluster. Clients send signatures and proofs to the mempool, which over multiple rounds progressively aggregate them into fewer and fewer proofs, until the block builder finally aggregates them into one SINGLE proof.
This design accomplishes five things at once:
- The more nodes we add to the decentralized mempool, the more signatures/proofs Ethereum can process as a whole. This is obvious if you look at the animation and imagine more nodes in the mempool ring, which would "fan out" to more signatures/proofs.
- By aggregating over multiple rounds (aka "recursive aggregation"), the bandwidth consumed by proofs remains constant for each node even as the network processes more proofs. As a result, the network stays decentralized even as capacity increases.
- By aggregating proofs before one final aggregation by the builder, as opposed to requiring the builder to aggregate everything, the network can process more proofs without increasing hardware requirements for the builder.
- By aggregating everything to a single block-level proof, validators can verify thousands of signatures/proofs by checking just one aggregated proof. Hardware requirements for validators can therefore stay low, keeping the network decentralized.
- By aggregating not just native signatures but also STARKs, Ethereum can support any signature scheme by wrapping them in STARKs.
So once again, this is how Ethereum will:
- scale to process tens of thousands of PQ and private transactions per second
- charge a tiny amount of gas to validate each txn, even though the original signature/proof may be huge (up to hundreds of KBs in size)
- all while decentralizing even MORE.
You are not bullish enough.
Ultimately, precompiles and EVM are both the wrong place to put most cryptography support into Ethereum. The reason is that precompiles and EVM both operate on data that has to be included into the ethereum chain somehow, which realistically means included in a block as calldata. That space is limited - even with PeerDAS and blocks-in-blobs, there's a practical cap of ~8 MB/s before it starts getting uncomfortable.
Remember: it's not a blockchain. It's a cryptographic world computer. Any data/computation that does not need to be in the "main thread" of data/execution should not be put into the main thread.
Instead, the correct solution is... EIP-8288 maximalism.
If you have any heavy computation that's self-contained, compute it and STARK it client-side (this is quickly getting faster and faster, even on phones), and push the STARK through the EIP-8288 recursive aggregation mechanism. The chain sees the fact that the computation was done and what the result is; it never needs to see the actual data and computation.
This way everyone can use whatever cryptography they want, the Ethereum chain can be lean, and we never need to add more precompiles again.
