Here I am recently rejected from Stanford’s PhD program but helping Dan boneh’s undergrad students with their cryptography homework at eth denver…. The irony.
I love the bear market. It filters out the influencers and moon bois. Bad projects die out and good ones rise. Less noise, more time to focus on solving interesting problems. It humbles.
It is with great pleasure that I can announce that I am joining
@PrimitiveFi
as a Quantitative Researcher to help
@0xEstelle
,
@alexangelj
, and the rest of the team build the world’s best permissionless financial primitives!
I will now be holding office hours for developers who need some help using the
@hedera
services. If you are struggling with programming problems, pick some of the available times, and we can work through them together.
I'll be doing a twitch stream later tonight, walking you through how to deploy smart contracts on
@hedera
's preview net. Come join me here at 6pm MST if you would like to learn how to use our EVM
I did my first twitch steam today on minting an NFT with the
@hedera
with the JavaScript SDK. I go over creating and using content identifiers from IPFS.
If you are learning about distributed ledgers and web3, understanding the difference between custodial and non-custodial wallets is a great place to start!
Now that finals are over I can finally dig into this inspired by
@gakonst
, and the clockwork finance paper paper by
@phildaian
and company.
Ahhhh I’m learning
It makes me so happy when people dm me asking what are some good learning resources for a variety of mathematical topics. I love to see so many people curious and learning.
A few weeks ago I joined Pluto to work on applied cryptographic primitives with an incredible team. The bull thesis for client-side proving couldn't be stronger. We will tear down the walled gardens on web 2 data, and liberate it for on chain utility.
What's really great about
@hedera
is that in addition to the native support of smart contracts, we have two additional core services on layer one: the Hedera Token Service(HTS) and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS).
My hypothesis about why so many Milady's overlap with quality eng and research talent is because a large portion of this talent finds the crypto influencer-driven wave of nft mania uninteresting. Milady's are an anti-NFT nft and represent the absurdist.
Working with Estelle on this has been an absolute pleasure 🤍📈 We introduce the construction of a collection of Black Scholes priced derivatives built from the RRM-01 pool. For the first time in defi, long options are constructed without oracle dependencies!
Eth Denver was great this year! We had a lot of amazing residents with
@wehack247
this year. I’m so glad to call you all my friends. So bullish on the future we are all building ❤️
My little sis is designing Kendrick Lamar's suits for the grammies. I am so proud. Had to take a step back from the tech perspective to really appreciate this for her as a milestone in her carrier.
I have been thinking a lot about how researchers are funded and collaborate with the industry. The immediate relevance of cryptography, distributed systems, and other fields of inquiry provides a ripe opportunity to disrupt how academics are funded.
Last week was my last week at
@PrimitiveFi
. I am proud of everything we built together there and look forward watching them venture forth to build better finance for everyone.
One of the most deserving projects of Retro PGF in my opinion is
@wehack247
.
@13yearoldvc
has done so much for the community of builders; bringing in new builders, discovering talent, and supporting builders many different builders! I cannot think of a more deserving public good
@DCbuild3r
@tarunchitra

@functi0nZer0
The demand for mathematical maturity is high. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Remember to be gentle to yourself and keep pushing forward. My favorite philosopher's words, "You assign meaning to things by suffering over them" you suffer over what is worth suffering over.
I’m saddened by all the comments on
@VitalikButerin
appearance on
@TIME
. Sore misunderstandings by the world. Very humble and deserving of the praise imo. My universities cryptography group literally started by reading his work.
math is something i struggled with a bit in school so ive been trying to spend some time relearning it lately. ive been using textbooks, but does anybody have any other recommendations for learning? primarily interested in statistics and calculus
Spent some time with some friends working on implementing the new CCS paper: with
@shumochu
and
@cryptograthor
. It has honestly been a total blast and an absolute pleasure to team up and learn from amazing talented people.
Telling my roommate what I'm working on: -"there are like two APIs, one for the marketplace and one for Twitter."
Roommate - "So one for the bitches and one for the hoes"
Me - "exactly"
If you are a dev looking to get started on hedera, these are some wonderful open source community projects that provide a good example of how you could utilize our services.
Being able to replicate any monoatomic payoff function to a liquidity provider is a pretty large unexplored design space. I think you are right regarding linear payoffs though.
I don't think there's much alpha left in designing new AMM invariants
The next generation of DEX features are going to be about fair execution and tx cost minimization, not new shapes for reserves curves
The poor graduate students i went rock climbing with are going home to google category theory, godels theorem of incompleteness, weird zero knowledge math, and epistemology.
My personal mandate in life is assemble a collective of Rust space cowboys of insane focus and talent to protect the citizens of blockchains and build infrastructure for the future. The future of Cybermancers, and computer wisperers.
I really enjoyed making this resource. If you all have any feedback or want me to go over how to use any of the other features in the SDK, let me know in the comments :)
