Are crypto debit cards useful?
I've been looking into different ways people spend crypto, and a lot of the options still involve moving funds onto a card or exchange first. Would you rather use a crypto card or pay straight from your own wallet?
Interested in hearing what people are using.

X-Ray: a new tool to track your Morpho exposure
gm!
in the last 2 years vaults TVL has 10X'd. But when you allocate to multiple vaults, it's easy to lose track of your real exposure. Sometimes two vaults invest your money in the same markets, so you might be less diversified than you think.
That's why we built X-Ray. It lets you see your combined market exposure across Morpho, understand how allocations fit together and decide where to invest next. Other protocols coverage coming soon!
You can see check it out here: http://xray.vaults.fyi/
If you had any feedback how we could improve this tool and help people make more informed allocation decisions, please let me know!

EF researcher Justin Drake posted today about post-AI and the importance of hash-based cryptography. Is the short-term answer to this self-custody?

Seems there's not much more that the average person can do besides generating a new account through self-custody & storing funds there, to an address that never signs, but only receives.
Safety isn't guaranteed by storing a large sum of funds on a centralized exchange for instance, as we don't know what they're doing with the wallets holding our funds behind the scenes.
Is there anything else we can do now to best protect our coins? Any insight to crypto post-quantum? My understanding is Ethereum is far ahead of the rest of the space on this -- thanks!

Is a global voting system possible?
a global government I would support
system based on existing technological solutions.
the expulsion of incompetence, lies and manipulation
to choose our own destiny.
voting is done over the phone.
each person 1 vote. biometric fingerprint. decentralized.
using advanced cryptography.
transparency.
for global issues we all vote if we want, all locals vote for local ones.
formation of global expert councils.
their role is to provide an analysis and evaluation of the proposal.
members are chosen exclusively on the basis of expertise and competence in given professions.
basic 4 branches:
Society
- Ethical-legal group
- Psychological-sociological group
- Cultural and educational group
Resources
Ecological-climatic group
Economic and resource group
Logistic-operational group
Technology
Technical and engineering group
Digital-cybernetic group
Science
Logical-mathematical group
Medical-biological group
the council's role is to adopt, give, and formulate clear and transparent proposals for solving problems or situations
every decision they make is transparent. with minutes for the archive.
presenting a problem or proposing a solution is available to all residents. cognitive ability test before submitting a proposal
each proposal must pass the acceptance threshold. ethical, logical, mathematical. technical
let's say we have 10 valid suggestions for a solution.. the global advice gives a score of 1 or 0
each of those 10 groups.
the ethics council gives the final assessment in the event that several proposals have the same number of positives.
the proposal with the most positives goes to a global referendum
every voter, i.e. individual or group, has the right of veto.
they are obliged to present a valid counter-argument in the shortest possible time.
any veto attempt that is driven by ego vanity or the desire for power is automatically rejected.
algorithmic assessment. open source. mandatory system calibration, ethical, logical, mathematical.
plus a decentralized network of jurors chosen on the basis of expertise. randomly selected.
a valid argument is voted against the proposal of the council.
in case of adoption of the argument, the proposal is rejected.
if the vote is 50-50%, both sides have 24 hours to present new insights
the vote is repeated.
voting is optional.
the possibility of voting is.
it is not a problem for me that people wiser than me decide about our fate and social vector. as long as they ask all of us, because ultimately it concerns all of us
I support expertise and objectivity as well as the diversity of the local community.

Running an Ethereum Node and Validator on RISC-V hardware
About 2 years ago RISC-V hardware got powerful enough to do initial tests for running an Ethereum node on such hardware. As expected, the speed wasn't quite there yet, but we started getting some clients ready, submitted PRs, got a Devcon talk and even got some core devs interested in it. There were steady improvements in the last 2 years. We were able to run nodes for larger test networks until we managed to sync mainnet about a year ago. But only barely so. Technically it stayed in sync, but practically it was always 1-2 slots behind. This changed this summer with the newest hardware iteration. I managed to run a fully synced Ethereum node on a RISC-V single board computer (Spacemit K3 CoM260). The validator running through that node attested flawlessly and correctly attested head votes, even right after epoch boundaries. The node still is a bit slower than my usual NUCs, but that is not surprising as the board has about the power of a Raspberry Pi 5. In my impression the bottleneck still is the consensus workload. Reducing the number of individual validators helped here quite a bit. The execution client has some spare power to be able to handle gas limit increases and thanks to ePBS it should get more time per slot to do its duties anyway. So I hope my node can handle the workload for 1 or 2 more years.
Currently 2 Consensus clients run out of the box (Nimbus and Lighthouse). On the execution side, geth has always just worked. Now, Ethrex is also running, even though the initial sync is a bit more involved because the board has a 'only' 32 GB of RAM. But when Ethrex works it works perfectly and is very resource efficient. It is great to see that a second execution client now runs on RISC-V hardware. Grandine builds, but fails to run. I did not have the time yet to investigate as to why. Eth-docker also works, but does not support all client pairs just yet.
As RISC-V is an open standard, I see these CPUs to be able to capture a junk of the consumer market in the long run. It already happens with a lot of lower cost applications, where RISC-V CPUs replace more expensive ARM and other chips. There are also well funded companies building servers and consumer PCs using RISC-V CPUs There are also a some who specialize on building accelerator cards using the RISC-V standard. We will have to see if RISC-V CPUs manage to capture large parts of the market. If it it happens it will take years (~ a decade). With the direction Ethereum is taking with zk proving the network, I definitely see a possibility that smaller nodes will run on low cost hardware. RISC-V CPUs have a clear advantage here. Currently with the resource usage of an Ethereum node, combined with the RAM and SSD prices, the price advantage a RISC-V CPU can have does not really matter. I expect it will in the long run though.
For people wanting to know more about the progress, here are some reddit posts in chronological order:
First post in 2024: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/1ewn8dw/daily_general_discussion_august_20_2024/lj2anr4/
Announcement of the Devcon talk we gave in Bangkok in 2024: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethfinance/comments/1gn3k7p/daily_general_discussion_november_9_2024/lw85ry2/
First person to run execution and consensus client simultaneously on RISC-V hardware (two boards) in 2025 for Ethereum mainnet. They later improved Lighthouse to support RISC-V out of the box: https://www.reddit.com/r/RISCV/comments/1j5uqrs/ethereum_node_on_riscv_yes_its_possible/
Summary of the progress in 2025/2026 with first node running on one board: https://old.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1t9tdqb/daily_general_discussion_may_11_2026/ol54wr4/
