Buterin framed iO as the field's ultimate unsolved problem, then walked back the dream: even the best lattice-based constructions carry computational costs he describes as 'literally galactic.'

The layoff lands as EF consolidates from a sprawling org into five clusters tied to its mandate. Departing staff get a severance floor at one month per year, plus transition grants.
The orders target quantum technology investment and national-security leadership, a policy push that intersects with concerns over Bitcoin and crypto's long-term cryptographic foundations.
Institutions are paying for clean blockchain data: Allium's Series B lands with Visa and the U.S. Federal Reserve already on its client roster, and the round sizes up a market most retail investors…
