After four years of watching Web3 games struggle to find their audience, Yield Guild Games decided the industry had to rethink how it matches players with the kind of games they’re actually in for: lighthearted chaos, in a “casual degen” vibe.

Aggregate signatures aren’t new. They’ve been around since the early 2000s. But building one that actually works in Bitcoin’s security model, with Bitcoin’s elliptic curve, has never been proven. Developers speculated it might be possible. They shared hand-wavy sketches and said, “maybe it’d work like MuSig2, but across transaction inputs.” The idea lingered for years as developer folklore, close, never provably confirmed. That changed recently, when Jonas Nick and Tim Ruffing of Blockstream Research, together with Yannick Seurin of Ledger, published a paper that turned this cryptographic ghost story into a concrete, provable result.

While Buffett has long been known for his cautious stance on Bitcoin, but his recent…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wants to make it easier for average users to run Ethereum nodes by changing how they sync with the network, using regular consumer hardware. On Ethereum, a node can be built on any computer able to run its software and connect with others to share and verify data across the network. Working together, they validate transactions and maintain Ethereum’s security. Having a full node is valuable as it means a user can maintain a local server that could run Ethereum’s server as if they were local, Buterin explained. With a full node, users can “read the…
