I think the Ethereum Barbell strategy will prove right. This is how Vitalik explains it: "Ethereum's barbell strategy of L1 and L2 is basically that L2s do the thing that require centralization and they get the benefits of centralization which includes the ability to do HFT but at the same time they benefit from L1 providing security and censorship resistance" HFT = high frequency trading. He's saying speeding up slot times to the millisecond enters you into a reduce bandwidth increase latency arms race that leads to centralization of block production and validation - see nasdaq. If we know this is the inevitable destination of hyperfast chains then we can put the "dictator in a box" by incenting them to become L2s on Ethereum Ethereum L1 = store of value + slower defi Ethereum L2s = high velocity + HFT defi Ethereum playing 3D chess.

this is an opportunity for someone to support SECUREUM by creating an automated workflow using AI Agents to generate monthly questions. if you want to do it and need help, feel free to DM. here is how you can get started: 1) Information Collection collect URLs which contain past, and regularly update web3 security content. for example: - for case studies by @_iphelix - @SoloditOfficial for findings in reports. im sure if you DM @PatrickAlphaC for this purpose he will be kind enough to make an API available to you. - @DeFiHackLabs by @1nf0s3cpt to reproduce exploits 2) Create Data Pipeline create a data format (e.g., JSON) to standardize data processing. rent a simple server to collect information and extract the data into your data format. make that data accessible to an LLM 3) Content Generation use the openai python package together with langchain or langgraph to - retrieve data - create new piece of content - refine content to fit SECUREUM;s RACE multiple choice style - review manually, use feedback to iterate on previous steps - store somewhere e.g., S3 or IPFS for storage 4) Vibe Code a simple web-app. we should get rid of classmaker. replicating it is pretty straightforward. use claude to create a similar website - front end: nextJS - back end: postgreSQL - API Framework: fastAPI - deploy on Amazon EC2 or a VPS which accepts crypto payments to keep it running. the community can buy an NFT for $100 to fund this operation for years. - people can register on the site and get a RUN code (e.g., simple UUID generated), or if already have it, sign in with the code to take the questions. - progress is saved across time and users can see it. just return the data you save in the database. feel free to vibe code it as well since it's pretty easy to do. 5) Integrate discord bot after the question bank is ready, every 2 weeks make an announcement, ping everyone and after the test is done, post the winner. ez pz. expected workload: 3-4 weeks max.

We are pausing @TheSecureum RACEs for now, after 42 (answer to every Q!) of them. 😅 Thanks to all the RACE participants and contributors. 🙏 Hope RACEs helped shape your Ethereum security journey. 🫡
