AFAIK

Not your keys not your coins. Market reacted very harshly when @binance delisted us, when in hindsight it could be the best thing that can happen to a project which requires decentralization to become valuable.

yes

if anyone wants to purchase syscoin:native from @binance OTC let us know there is some available and we are negotiating with them to purchase their allocation, pls let us know by today/tomorrow if interested. Just DM me.

A hash-based DA is information theoretical floor for safety/security in blockchain modular design. Any other complexity other than reproducing the full payload and validating the hash will degrade security in some way either adding statistical risk, economic risk or cryptographic risk to the underlying mechanism design.

We went with UTXO + EVM because the settlement layer should be purposefully slow and robust. UTXO is merged with @bitcoin and EVM allows for expressive smart contracts so you get shared accounting (something UTXO just cannot do safely or without UX fragmentation risk). Besides this the job of the settlement layer is also DA which should be hash based for PQ safety so that expansion off of the EVM is possible. If your bet is on slow purposeful settlement connected to @bitcoin but expanding and scaling throughput through ZK, then you have @syscoin.

From now on discussions around what humans should work on will be at higher level and abstractions rather than technical details, like how coders used to talk in design patterns compared to technical implementations . We will apply design patterns to all possible problems in any design space. Governance is a big one we haven't deviated away from in many decades and is ripe for disruption. It also disrupts all of the power structures and there is nothing they can do to stop it, it brings those in power down to the level of someone who has the same high level abstract ideas. Implementation, intelligence and resource arbitrage ensures all access will be equal, just final decisions may be decided by some resource-contention adjudication system (like blockchain).

I’m sharing our ongoing research in PVUGC PR #1 (github.com/syscoin/PVUGC/pul…). We’re pursuing one of cryptography’s most ambitious ideas: witness encryption. The goal is to bind a secret to a public NP statement today, so that someone who produces a valid witness later can unlock it. We’re aiming for the stronger extractable form, with post-quantum security. The motivation is a trust-minimized connection between @Bitcoin and @syscoin. Our proposed path evaluates the witness off chain and uses it to unlock a capability for an ordinary Bitcoin spend. Since Bitcoin lacks the covenant functionality this path needs, we’re studying an abortable N-of-N setup that assumes at least one honest participant. Making that setup secure against malicious participants is part of the open research. It also may offer a relaxation on WE math by placing more trust in setup instead. iO offers a theoretical route to ordinary witness encryption, but it does not solve our stronger requirements. My hourly AI-assisted research loop has explored SPHFs, local mixing, source-bound SLH-DSA key generation, and other directions. The PR records the proofs, experiments, counterexamples, and open gaps. We have not found a secure construction yet, and I’d welcome independent review and new ideas. It may be impossible, but should not stop us from trying. This is the new era of research.
