Blockchains operate as a public ledger, ‘disclosing' the entire transaction history and associated data to everyone. While verifiability and traceability are key traits, as blockchains gain global adoption, those very features hinder the process. Self custody, on-chain identities, corporate strategies, transaction history, private deals, all represent highly sensitive information that call for provable confidentiality. Fully homomorphic encryption has long been considered the ‘holy grail' of cryptography as it enables computation to be performed on encrypted data without the need of prior decryption. This basically translates to true end-to-end encryption, both on-chain and off-chain. As cryptographic research advances, so does the scalability and applicability of FHE. As a result of more than 5 years of work, Zama has now released Zama Protocol, which enables confidential smart contracts on top of any L1 or L2 using FHE, without any additional execution burden. By encrypting all ciphertexts with the same public key, FHE ensures composability and seamless integration across different blockchains and applications, making it a true cross-chain confidentiality layer. Through parallel execution, Zama Protocol already surpasses Ethereum's throughput, yet future roadmap includes open-source development of FPGA & ASIC in order to scale it even further, to accommodate faster, non-EVM chains.Topics covered in this episode:Zama's progress in FHEZama's confidential blockchain ProtocolSecurity guarantees of MPC coprocessorsMaintaining a healthy operator setSlashing and governanceZama's throughputOpen-sourcing FPGA & ASIC developmentThe Zama token & its implicationsZama's public testnetPrivate votingZama fundingRegulationsExpanding use cases beyond blockchainsFuture goals and expectationsEpisode links:Rand Hindi on XZama on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

David was the founding General Manager of Grayscale Investments, now one of the world's largest digital asset managers, and previously led operations for SecondMarket, the private market platform later acquired by NASDAQ. Why you should listen Everstake is a professional staking provider founded in 2018 by a team of Ukrainian engineers. The company specializes in Proof-of-Stake (PoS) validation, helping individuals and institutions participate in securing blockchain networks while earning staking rewards. Today, Everstake supports more than 70 networks, including Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos, and operates with a strong technical focus, maintaining over 99.9% uptime for its users. In terms of scale, the platform has worked with more than 735,000 stakers, facilitated over $6.5 billion in assets staked, and distributed around $712 million in rewards.

The company has contributed to well-known projects such as Solana, Wormhole, The Graph, and Pyth, and has provided advisory and engineering support to help these networks grow. One of its most visible initiatives was managing the Aid for Ukraine crypto fundraising campaign, in partnership with the Ukrainian government and other industry players, which raised over $60 million for humanitarian and defense support. Recently, Everstake has also expanded into institutional services. Through a collaboration with io.finnet, it now enables enterprises to stake assets like ETH and SOL directly from secure multiparty computation (MPC) wallets, removing custodial risk while simplifying the staking process.

Criminal Law Lecture Twenty-Eight Inchoate Crimes: Attempt, Conspiracy, and Solicitation

Understanding Inchoate Crimes: Definition and Significance In the world of criminal law, we often think of crimes in terms of completed acts. However, the legal system also prosecutes individuals for inchoate crimes, which are offenses that are not yet complete. The word "inchoate" comes from the Latin inchoare, meaning "to begin" or "to start," perfectly capturing the essence of these offenses.What are Inchoate Crimes?An inchoate crime is a crime of preparing for or seeking to commit another crime. These crimes are significant because they allow law enforcement to intervene and prevent more serious offenses from occurring. The core idea is that the intent to commit a crime, when coupled with a substantial step toward its commission, is itself a punishable offense. The three main types of inchoate crimes are:Attempt: This is perhaps the most common inchoate crime. It involves the specific intent to commit a crime and a significant act toward its commission. For example, if someone intends to rob a bank and is caught placing a ski mask and a weapon in their car as they drive to the bank, they could be charged with attempted robbery. The act must go beyond mere preparation and move toward the actual commission of the offense.Conspiracy: Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime. The key element is the agreement itself, followed by an overt act by one of the co-conspirators in furtherance of the crime. The act doesn't have to be a crime in itself; it just needs to show that the plan is moving forward. For instance, if two people agree to steal a car and one of them buys a tool to break into it, they could both be charged with conspiracy.Solicitation: This involves persuading, encouraging, or commanding another person to commit a crime. The crime is complete once the person asks or hires someone to commit the offense, regardless of whether the other person agrees or if the crime is actually carried out. For example, if you offer a friend money to break into your rival's house, you could be charged with solicitation, even if your friend refuses.Why Are They So Important?The legal concept of inchoate crimes is vital for several reasons:Crime Prevention: Prosecuting inchoate crimes allows the criminal justice system to intervene before a more serious offense can be completed. This can save lives, prevent property damage, and protect the public. By arresting someone for attempted murder, for instance, a life is potentially saved.Punishing Dangerous Intent: Inchoate crimes recognize that the intent to harm, when combined with a concrete step toward that goal, is a social harm in itself. It demonstrates a dangerous mindset and a willingness to break the law, which warrants punishment regardless of the outcome.Deterrence: The existence of these laws acts as a deterrent. Knowing that you can be prosecuted for planning a crime, even if you don't succeed, may discourage people from taking those initial steps.Understanding inchoate crimes is crucial for anyone interested in law. These offenses highlight a fundamental principle of our legal system: criminal responsibility isn't solely based on outcomes, but also on intent and the actions taken to achieve that intent. They serve as a proactive measure to protect society from individuals who demonstrate a clear and present danger.TakeawaysInchoate crimes focus on incomplete actions towards a crime.Attempt requires specific intent and a substantial step.Conspiracy is a powerful prosecutorial tool due to its evidentiary advantages.The MPC allows for earlier intervention in criminal attempts than common law.Legal impossibility can be a defense to attempt, but factual impossibility is not.Conspiracy does not merge with the completed crime, unlike attempt and solicitation.Solicitation is complete upon making a request, regardless of the response.Withdrawal from conspiracy does not negate the conspiracy itself but can limit future liability.

Some excitement on Threadneedle Street today after the Bank of England cut interest rates to 4 per cent. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has just voted five to four – after a revote – for what is the third cut this year. This takes interest rates back down to levels not seen since the beginning of 2023. Concerns about an increasingly slack labour market seem to have driven the MPC's decision.This sounds like good news – and Starmer will welcome it as such – but the Bank's apparent comfort with loosening policy in this context is baffling says Michael Simmons. Its own forecasts show inflation climbing back to 4 per cent by September – double the official target. If they're wrong, and inflation slips the leash again, it won't be brought back under control easily. This also coincides with yesterday's news that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) forecast that Rachel Reeves must find £50 billion of revenue or cuts if she is to return to the £9.9 billion of fiscal headroom she left herself in the spring. Are there any rays of light escaping from the black hole as we head towards autumn's Budget, or is it all gloom?Also on the podcast today: Trump's tariffs have come into effect across the world. He declared on Truth Social that ‘Billions of Dollars have started flowing into the US'… but is that true?

Welcome to this week's Indie Artist Music Hustle with Blonde Intelligence. I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Growing up as a drummer in Houston's diverse music scene, John Lacey's path to becoming an innovative producer and MPC DJ reflects the evolution many musicians must navigate in today's digital landscape.From his early resistance to technology ("I don't like things crashing on me, I like just hitting just drums") to his current mastery of the MPC, John shares candid insights about the different skillsets required for acoustic versus digital music-making. "It takes more natural skill to play a drum set, but it's a different kind of skill," he explains, noting how traditional drumming depends on muscle memory while the MPC functions as "its own little brain" with infinite creative possibilities.What truly sets John apart is his revolutionary approach to DJing. Rather than using conventional turntables or controllers, he maps MPC buttons to control DJ software while performing live drum patterns on a second MPC simultaneously. "I'm just a performer," he says, describing how this dual-device setup creates "a performance within a performance" that audiences rarely experience from typical DJs. This innovative technique has helped him carve out a lucrative niche performing at weddings and events.Perhaps most refreshing is John's honesty about how fatherhood transformed his relationship with music. "Family is completely and utterly first for me," he emphasizes, candidly sharing that while many claim to create purely for artistic expression, his primary motivation is providing for his young sons. This perspective grounds his involvement with the Houston Bass Runners and National Beat Battle Association, where he showcases his finger drumming talents in online competitions. Check out his performances on YouTube to witness firsthand what happens when traditional percussion training meets digital innovation in the hands of a family man with serious skills.Support the show
