Is there a good agent for doing on-chain forensics about transactions? I want to blend some personal databases, and have some recursive on-chain analysis done

Conveniently as the window to testify in the case ends 🤷‍♂️

The Ethereum Community Foundation is proud to launch BlobKit, a full-feature SDK that makes Ethereum’s native data layer usable. We said we were here to burn ETH. This is how we start. BlobKit gives developers a direct way to write to blobspace. It handles encoding, commitments, and transaction formatting without requiring custom infrastructure. What used to take hundreds of lines of code now takes one.

Biggest threat to passkeys is improper use History tends to repeat itself, and LastPass was the lesson.

Actually wtf why can’t I put a PIN on my passkeys the way yubikey lets me

Passkeys are great, until you unify them into a single service We need better alternatives than a password manager.

docker was truly a 10x over virtualbox

Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that Tornado Cash as built complied with the law, under the guidance given by FinCEN in 2019. The government has now stated in open court that they are contemplating charges against Dragonfly for having invested into the Tornado Cash team in 2020. On counsel’s advice, we have refrained from public comment. But we can no longer remain silent. We believe deeply in Americans’ right to privacy, and the lack of it remains one of crypto’s largest unsolved problems. We therefore stand by our investment. We did not operate or exercise any control over Tornado Cash, we had no contact with any malicious users, we always encouraged our portfolio companies to follow the law, and we maintain that Tornado Cash itself has a lawful right to exist—a view reinforced by Van Loon v. Department of the Treasury and OFAC’s subsequent rescission of sanctions. Charging a venture firm for a portfolio company’s alleged misconduct would be unprecedented, especially under these circumstances. In 2023 we received a DOJ subpoena and have fully cooperated with the government’s investigation of Tornado Cash, confident that we have always complied with the law. The DOJ has made clear that we are not ourselves a target of their investigation. As with every investment, we provided PepperSec the same advice and support we offer all portfolio companies. We believe the government’s statement in court today was primarily to undermine a defense of Tornado Cash—to make it more difficult for the defense to call Tom to testify on the stand. After all of this time—years later—bringing charges against Dragonfly would be outrageous, contrary to the facts and the law, and would induce a chilling effect onto all investment into crypto and privacy-preserving technologies in America. We don’t believe the DOJ would actually bring such absurd and groundless charges. But if they do, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves.

The Celestia Foundation has worked with Polychain Capital to assign Polychain’s entire remaining TIA holdings to new investors. This month, the Foundation purchased 43,451,616.09 TIA from Polychain Capital for $62.5m. Polychain will shortly be undelegating their entire staked TIA holdings in order to settle this transaction. To ensure neutral impact to the Foundation’s financial position, the Foundation is finalizing assignment of this TIA to new investors. These transactions will use a rolling unlock schedule, with the first unlock starting on 16 August and completing on 14 November.
