How do you use @circle's CCTP to bridge directly? I've spent a few minutes and found only one somewhat sketchy app. How do people use it?

Today it is impossible to build a social network without an algorithm. Without it, there would be too many bad posts and spam when the network gets big enough to be interesting. The internet is completely different than what we grew up with and we can never return.

With the GENIUS Act celebration done, builders already want to know what's next. The answer is CLARITY – crypto market structure legislation – which also got overwhelming bipartisan support in the House last week. Here's everything you need to get caught up on CLARITY:

The GENIUS Act is getting signed today, bringing clear rules of the road for stablecoins. Here's why stablecoins are better money, how they're better for people and businesses, and the mental models you can use to understand them. My master thread on stablecoins. 👇

Clear rules for stablecoins and the road ahead At the White House today, the first piece of U.S. crypto legislation will be signed into law: the GENIUS Act. It provides clear rules for stablecoins. This is a historic moment — not just for crypto, but for the world at large. That’s because stablecoins give us something we’ve never really had before: open money infrastructure. Stablecoins are a better form of money: faster, cheaper, and more global. They cut fees and eliminate intermediaries. They are auditable and programmable. They allow developers to build new kinds of apps that weren’t possible before: low-to-no cost remittances, programmatic micropayments, AI-native transactions, transparent and disintermediated global commerce, and more. Stablecoins give the world access to the dollar, they spread financial freedom, and they ensure that the next generation of financial infrastructure is built on U.S. standards. For too long, innovators in crypto have operated under legal uncertainty. That uncertainty has stifled progress, driven builders offshore, and created a fragmented internet. The GENIUS Act reverses this: it creates clarity for stablecoins and sets us on a path toward broader crypto market structure reforms. This is how the internet moves forward: through clear rule-making. With the GENIUS Act, stablecoins have clear rules, paving the way for better payments, financial products, and an overhaul of the global financial system. Next, we need the same for the rest of the crypto market. The Senate can do this by passing the CLARITY Act, which provides clear rules of the road for the broader crypto industry, opening a path for innovators while also protecting consumers from scams and bad actors. We believe that the U.S. can lead the next era of the internet — the read-write-own era — by enabling open, user-owned protocols instead of the closed, corporate platforms that defined the last one. This legislation lays the foundation for that future. It's the beginning of a new chapter.

The House just made history by passing major legislation on stablecoins (GENIUS Act) and market structure (CLARITY Act) in an overwhelmingly bipartisan way. This is a huge moment for crypto and for all Americans. We’re very close to having comprehensive, proactive rules in place for the first time. Next up: the GENIUS Act goes to the President’s desk for his signature. After that, the Senate should pass the CLARITY Act. We believe passing these laws is the best way to ensure that America remains the world leader in the next era of the internet. Thank you to all the cosponsors of these bills and the incredible supporters on both sides of the aisle in Congress.

It’s always awesome to talk with people who are more optimistic and excited in real life than online. People who are bullposting online but privately cynical and bearish are the worst. Huge red flag.

Encrypted mempools can seem like an appealing solution to fixing the market structure on blockchains. But, even a perfect cryptographic solution still leaves a lot of gaps. We’re going to need new economic mechanisms in addition to cryptography to totally address the problem.

Karma is being modest — huge update for Halmos! ∎ Stateful invariant testing (very powerful) ∎ Flamegraphs (see what Halmos is exploring) ∎ 30x faster interpreter (!!!) ∎ Easily select many solvers ∎ Coverage reports ∎ Solx support ∎ more cheatcodes ∎ ... and more

halmos v0.3.0 release highlights! (quick reminder: halmos is a symbolic testing tool for EVM bytecode which interfaces nicely with foundry projects and supports multiple SMT solvers) 1. we (finally) added support for stateful invariant testing
