  • Aave v4 Architecture

    Aave v4 Architecture

    Aave v4 introduces a hub & spoke architecture that fundamentally restructures how liquidity and risk are managed compared to v3’s monolithic pool design. The hub acts as a central liquidity coordination layer while spokes are isolated borrowing modules with independent risk profiles. This design delivers contagion isolation, specialized risk per market, and improved capital efficiency…

    The Claude Code Skills Gold Rush

    Three Claude Code skills repos sit in GitHub’s top 10 trending simultaneously. Combined stars: north of 146,000. Everything Claude Code alone crossed 100K. Superpowers hit 42K+ and landed in the official Anthropic marketplace. A third collection, claude-skills by Alireza Rezvani, passed 5,200 stars with 192 skills covering everything from compliance to C-level advisory prompts. That…

  • How Dimensional Analysis Catches DeFi Bugs Before Deployment

    How Dimensional Analysis Catches DeFi Bugs Before Deployment

    Most DeFi exploits share a root cause: arithmetic that looks correct but mixes incompatible quantities. A price where a balance should be. Shares multiplied by shares when you needed shares multiplied by a ratio. These bugs survive code review, pass unit tests, and detonate in production. Dimensional analysis a technique every physics student learns in…

  • Context Engineering For AI Models

    Context Engineering For AI Models

    Context is the runtime environment of an AI system. Getting the best outputs from your AI Agents relies heavily on how well you craft the context inputs. This guide is a comprehensive resource covering everything you never really wanted to know about optimizing context for better AI performance. This is also available in PDF format:…

  • Building Web3 Games With Stellar & RISC Zero

    Building Web3 Games With Stellar & RISC Zero

    The idea behind this tutorial was to create a on-chain game that demonstrated how to combine RISC Zero proofs with Stellar smart contracts. James On YouTube Watch On YouTube: https://youtu.be/caPr0suJYAg | Subscribe All code is open source on github: https://github.com/jamesbachini/typezero The game is composed of four distinct components, all governed by deterministic rules to ensure…

  • How To Use The Noir Groth16 Backend

    How To Use The Noir Groth16 Backend

    In this tutorial we will be writing circuits in Noir, outputing deterministic Groth16 artifacts, generating proofs with snarkjs, and verifying them inside a Stellar smart contract. The official Noir backend uses Ultrahonk proofs which are larger and more resource intensive to verify. I built this backend so that Noir could be used with Groth16 which…
