The latest SEAL initiative is a free to use Information Sharing platform for web3 entities!

Excited about Valentine's Day? Personally I'm much more excited about Security Alliance launching! SEAL is a non profit composed by some of the brightest cybersec people who want to build public good, high impact security contributions that benefit the ecosystem. 💌

More testnet blobs on the way .oO

Dencun will activate on Sepolia Jan 30, and on Holesky Feb 7. If running a node on either network, now's the time to update it!

Assuming both of these go smoothly, mainnet is next ✅

Happy to see the two KZG libraries that clients will use have been added to the Ethereum Foundation’s bug bounty program! Normally, these would only become in-scope a couple weeks prior to the mainnet upgrade.

📆: 15-21 Nov. Prague, CZ.

The Protocol Security Research team had a fun time reviewing C-KZG-4844, an important cryptographic library for the upcoming Dencun upgrade. Check out this article which goes over some things developers can do to find bugs in C projects.

SEAL just announced its free public good, SEAL Drills, to help crypto projects with incident response training.

Big announcement!

We intend to donate 10% of our $EFUT ETF profits (vaneck.com/investments/et…) to Protocol Guild for at least 10 years.

Thank you, Ethereum contributors, for nearly a decade of relentless building & ongoing stewardship of this common infrastructure.

Details 👇

Over the past few days I've been working with a group of whitehats, auditors, and other security leaders to try and solve the hardest part of responsible disclosure: finding the right person to talk to.

It's been a while, but here's another AllCoreDevs update 😄

It mostly covers where we're at in planing Dencun 🏝️, and shares an Informational EIP I wrote 📜, as well as some speaking dates for the summer ☀️

'Secured #5: Public Vulnerability Disclosures Update' is now live at blog.ethereum.org/2023/05/03/sec… ! This marks the second public disclosure of vulnerabilities received through the Ethereum Foundation's Bug Bounty Program.

It's happening 🎊

Shapella is scheduled on mainnet for epoch 194048, scheduled for 22:27:35 UTC on Apr. 12, 2023 📆

Client releases compatible with the upgrade are listed in the announcement below 👇

the Arbitrum (💙,🧡) team is setting an important precedent with this airdrop allocation:

L2s should regularly fund their dependencies, including the maintainers of the base layer they depend on for security and settlement 🤝

Which L2 will be next? 👀
