“Gird Your Loins with TRUTH”​

Jon Kol is a Co-founder at Hyperlane, the open interoperability framework to connect anywhere onchain. Why you should listen Hyperlane is the “open interoperability framework” that lets any blockchain—whether an L1, rollup, app‑chain, or VM—talk to any other, permissionlessly. Think of it as the universal plumbing for cross‑chain apps, assets, and arbitrary messages, already live on 140+ chains and five VMs. At its core, Hyperlane uses Mailbox contracts on each chain as send/receive endpoints. When you dispatch a message, it's slotted into a Merkle tree; off‑chain relayers pick it up, bundle the proof, and submit it to the destination's Mailbox, where it's verified and delivered to your target contract Security is modular thanks to Interchain Security Modules (ISMs). You can choose default multisig sets, compose prebuilt ISMs, or even craft custom ones to suit your risk appetite. That means you decide how many validator signatures you need or even plug in your own validator network—no one‑size‑fits‑all guardrails here Beyond pure messaging, Hyperlane offers Warp Routes—its native, no‑slippage token bridges. Lock your token on Chain A, mint a wrapped version on Chain B, and reverse when you bridge back. All managed by the same mailbox/ISM infrastructure for consistency and security Developers get robust tooling: TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go SDKs, CLI commands, Terraform modules—and an Explorer to track message status. Want interchain accounts? Execute contracts on remote chains from a single signer. Need cross‑VM swaps? Hyperlane's got EVM↔SVM covered. HYPER (the native token) powers staking, validator incentives, governance, and expansion rewards. With a 1 B supply over 25 years and liquid staking via stHYPER, it aligns long‑term builders with protocol security and growth. If you're building the next multi‑chain DeFi, game, or governance tool, quitting the single‑chain mindset starts here.

For today's episode, were taking a deep dive into based rollups to answer the following question: Could the next breakthrough in Ethereum scaling come from working with the network rather than around it? While most rollup solutions build separate consensus layers, an intriguing new approach called based rollups takes a different path – leveraging Ethereum's existing validator network to sequence blocks. Rather than creating parallel consensus mechanisms, based rollups tap directly into Ethereum's established validator set. This creates a more cohesive ecosystem where rollups share both infrastructure and security. The Rise team is pioneering this approach with innovations like parallel EVM engines and versioned Merkle trees. Their solution becomes particularly compelling as more based rollups join the ecosystem, and better composability properties are unlocked. The benefits compound naturally – each new participant contributes to shared security costs and improves liquidity efficiency. This network effect, combined with the emergence of the "GigaGas era," could enable entirely new categories of blockchain applications. Enjoy.

Moses after Meribah

Show notes forthcoming.

Max, notorious for his late-night, self-absorbed, inconsiderate, and mostly aloof phone calls, once rang Jon at an ungodly hour to dig into the details of Bitcoin block components. As Jon was chasing a raccoon out of his chicken coop, Max's questions came pouring in, demanding clarity on block templates, candidate blocks, and the components of a completed block. Despite pausing to bust a cap in a raccoon's ass, Jon explained that miners use a block template as a guide to construct a candidate block, ensuring each field adheres to network protocols. The components are version number, previous block's hash, Merkle root, timestamp, difficulty target, and nonce. Even while covered in chicken blood, feathers, and brains, Jon's dedication to unraveling the complexities of Bitcoin mining for Max was unwavering.Let's break down the block components that Max was so eager to understand.Block Version Number: This indicates the version of the block and can be used to implement changes to its structure and format. It can also signal a miner's choice on software and protocol upgrades or changes. The interplay between signaling, activation, and their relationship to soft forks is an intriguing topic, though it is beyond the scope of this discussion. It's more than likely Max will call again to discuss this in greater detail.Previous Block Hash: This serves as a reference to the previous block in the blockchain and is used to link blocks together, ensuring that the miner is working on the longest valid chain.Merkle Root: This is a hash of all the transactions included in the block, ensuring their integrity and validity. The Merkle root is a key component of the Bitcoin block header, summarizing the contents of all transactions into a single, 32-byte value. Transactions are grouped into pairs and hashed together, forming new sets of hashes until a single hash, the Merkle root, is generated. This root is included in the block header and broadcast to the network whenever a new block is mined. When a node receives a block, it uses the Merkle root to verify the integrity of the transactions without validating each one individually. Timestamp: This records the time at which the block was created. The timestamp is derived from the miner's local clock and can vary based on the clock's accuracy and synchronization with other network nodes. If a block is propagated slowly across the network, the timestamp might not reflect the actual creation time. The timestamp is based on the number of seconds from Midnight, January 1, 1970.Difficulty Target: This value sets the target for the mining difficulty, determining the level of effort needed to find a valid block. The difficulty target is encoded as a 256-bit number representing the required computational effort. It's adjusted every 2016 blocks to maintain stability and security, aiming for the consistent 10-minute block target.Nonce: This is a random value miners use to try different combinations until they find a valid block. The nonce is incremented in the block header as miners compute the block candidate's hash. If the hash is less than the difficulty target, the block is valid and can be added to the blockchain.Remember, the candidate block header fields are version number, previous block's hash, Merkle root, timestamp, difficulty target, and nonce.Look for future phone calls between Max and Jon as Max inconsiderately peppers Jon with questions about block creation.IMPORTANT LINKS https://freesamourai.comhttps://p2prights.org/donate.htmlhttps://ungovernablemisfits.comVALUE FOR VALUEThanks for listening you Ungovernable Misfits, we appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy the shows.You can support this episode using your time, talent or treasure.TIME:- create fountain clips for the show- create a meetup- help boost the signal on social mediaTALENT:- create ungovernable misfit inspired art, animation or music- design or implement some software that can make the podcast better- use whatever talents you have to make a contribution to the show!TREASURE:- BOOST IT OR STREAM SATS on the Podcasting 2.0 apps @ https://podcastapps.com- DONATE via Paynym @ Max- DONATE via Paynym to JON @ Jon- DONATE via Monero @ https://xmrchat.com/ugmf- BUY SOME CLOTHING @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/store/- BUY SOME ART!! @ https://ungovernablemisfits.com/art-gallery/ALTAIR TECHNOLOGIESAltair Tech is your one-stop shop for pleb mining supplies.

For episode 445, Co-founder and CEO Zahary Karadjov joins Brandon Zemp to discuss how anyone can create their own blockchain Oracles with Blocksense. Blocksense produces tightly packed blocks of data updates that can be published on the target chain with a single transaction. Additionally, through the power of Merkle trees, their data universe can scale to an unlimited number of continuously updated data feeds, offering a wide spectrum of cost-to-publish vs cost-to-access options. They've designed a flexible fee model, allowing the most popular data feeds to become cheaper to access over time, while increasing their security. Chains can choose to subsidize certain feeds to kick-start and maintain a vibrant DeFi ecosystem, all enabled by permissionless protocols and handled fully on-chain. Additionally, anyone can create a new data feed by writing a simple script. Anyone can become a data provider by staking funds and operating an automated oracle node. Any DApp on any chain can access their entire universe of data. ⏳ Timestamps: 0:00 | Introduction 0:55 | Who is Zahary Karadjov? 2:35 | What is Blocksense? 5:13 | How does the Blocksense protocol work? 10:54 | How to create an Oracle with Blocksense? 12:27 | What does the Versatile Compute Network mean for Blocksense? 18:48 | Blocksense MVP & testnets 21:31 | Blocksense partnerships & collaborations 23:05 | Blocksense community 23:36 | Blocksense roadmap for 2025

October 3, 1951 - Bobby Thomson hits a three-run home run off Ralph Branca of the Brooklyn Dodgers with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the New York Giants a dramatic 5 -- 4 playoff victory and the National League pennant. Seeing the ball disappear over the fence, Thomson hopped crazily around the bases, then disappeared into the mob of teammates who had gathered at home plate. The stunned Dodger players trudged off the field - all except Jackie Robinson. No doubt knowing of "Merkle's Boner" 43 years earlier, he watched to be sure Thomson touched every base before he, too, headed for the clubhouse. The blast would become known in baseball lore as the Shot Heard 'Round the World.October 3, 1976 - Hank Aaron singles in his last major-league at bat and drives in his 2,297th run as the sixth-place Brewers lose to the Tigers 5 - 2.October 3, 1999 - On the final day of the season, Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals hits his 65th home run, moving past Ted Williams and Willie McCovey into 10th place on the career list with 522. McGwire finishes with a two-homer edge over Chicago's Sammy Sosa, who hits his 63rd on the same day.October 3, 2009 - St. Louis first baseman Albert Pujols ties a major league record with his 184th assist of the season. He matches the mark set by Bill Buckner with the Red Sox in 1985. He will finish the year with 185.October 3, 1974 - Frank Robinson becomes the first black manager in the major leagues, as the Cleveland Indians name him to replace Ken Aspromonte.Historical Recap performed by:Robyn Newton from - Robyn Says
