[B@B 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY] 🎊

10 years ago, a group of Berkeley students came together to learn about Bitcoin and educate each other on a technology they believed could change the world.

They probably didn’t know that, a decade later, that little group would blossom into one of munities and bring together some of the most ambitious, thoughtful, kind, and absolutely cracked people we know.

Over the last 10 years, B@B has been home to some insane startups and even crazier ideas. But more importantly, it’s given us lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and a ridiculous amount of laughter along the way.

B@B turned 10 this year, and one reunion simply wasn’t enough. So, in true blockchain fashion, we forked it, hosting anniversary celebrations on both coasts and bringing together alumni from across a decade of B@B.

Some highlights:

- A photo wall of 10 years of our most wholesome moments, walking down memory lane
- Custom engraved Ledgers for our alumni made by our own @DivijMot @createdbymason
- A tres leches “10 Years of B@B & Boujee” cake courtesy of former-pres @Ridddhiiii
- Lots of old lore, reunions, and questionable stories resurfacing

6/ Game Theory and the Global Bitcoin Accumulation Race

As one of the most powerful nations begins stockpiling Bitcoin, it sets a precedent that other governments may feel pressured to follow. The U.S.’s move reduces hesitation, making it more likely that other countries will to avoid falling behind in digital asset dominance.

If Bitcoin continues its long-term appreciation, nations that fail to accumulate now could face economic disadvantages in the future. This could trigger a global race to secure Bitcoin, as countries hedge against monetary debasement and position themselves for digital asset supremacy.

5/ Stablecoin Legislation Incoming

Trump has committed to signing stablecoin regulation before August, marking a significant step toward regulatory clarity for #USDC, #Tether, and other stablecoins. This aligns with the growing dominance of stablecoins in on-chain transaction cent data.

Key Legislative Proposals Shaping the Future of Stablecoins:
1. GENIUS Act- davispolk.com/insights/clien…
2. STABLE Act- financialservices.house.gov/news/documents…

4/ End of Operation Chokepoint 2.0

President Trump also pledged to end the banking crackdown on crypto that was initiated under the #Biden administration.

But what exactly was Chokepoint 2.0?

In early 2023, a series of crypto-friendly banks collapsed in what appeared to be a egulators to pressure financial institutions into cutting ties with crypto firms. This crackdown made it increasingly difficult for crypto businesses to access banking services, forcing many exchanges and companies to move offshore.

By reversing these policies, the industry could see easier banking access for crypto businesses

3/ Establishing a Strategic $BTC Reserve in a Budget-Neutral Way

Trump signed an executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, marking the first time a nation-state is officially stockpiling #BTC by reshaping global monetary policy and crypto's role in sovereign asked questions include:

1. Where will the Bitcoin come from?
The reserve will be funded entirely by seized Bitcoin from criminal and civil forfeitures—such as the Silk Road Marketplace seizure (144,000 BTC) and the Bitfinex hack recovery (119,000 BTC). Over time, these confiscations have made the U.S. government one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally (worth approximately $12.1 billion). For this reason, the reserve is considered “budget-neutral” as no taxpayer money will be used to fund this reserve, relying exclusively on BTC already in government possession due to these past seizures.

2. Will the U.S. government sell BTC?
The government has committed not to sell BTC in the reserve, except in certain circumstances. This move signals a shift in policy—treating Bitcoin as a strategic asset rather than just an asset to be liquidated.

Notice an interesting pattern: Historically, the U.S. government has liquidated seized Bitcoin at significantly lower prices, often missing out on massive value appreciation. In fact, premature BTC sales have cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost appreciation. The chart below illustrates this trend, showing large BTC sales at low price points, with some of the biggest disposals occurring well before Bitcoin’s major bull runs.

3. What about other crypto assets?
A separate Digital Asset Stockpile will hold ETH, XRP, SOL, ADA, and other confiscated assets. Unlike Bitcoin, no additional purchases will be made for this stockpile.
The distinction between $BTC and other cryptocurrencies reinforces $BTC’s role as a long-term store of value rather than just a speculative asset. In my (@kelly73722949) opinion, this is one of the most legitimizing signals that the U.S. views Bitcoin as a true successor to the gold standard.

30-Day Digital Asset Audit:
In the next 30 days, each federal agency will be required to conduct a comprehensive audit of their digital assets inventory—this will be an important step before they authorize their legal authority to transfer $BTC to the strategic reserve and stockpile.

2/ Who Was in the Room? ($1+ trillion in combined market impact)

The White House Crypto Summit brought together some of the most influential figures in the digital asset space, representing companies that have collectively shaped the industry’s trajectory.
Here’s a look at some their influence:

🔹@brian_armstrong (CEO, @coinbase) – A vocal advocate for clear crypto regulation in the U.S., Armstrong has consistently pushed back against restrictive policies. Coinbase remains the largest publicly traded crypto exchange.
🔹@bgarlinghouse (CEO, @Ripple) – At the forefront of cross-border payments innovation, Garlinghouse has fought legal battles with the SEC over #XRP's classification, making him a major player in crypto regulation debates.
🔹 @saylor (Executive Chairman, @MicroStrategy) – One of Bitcoin’s biggest institutional advocates, Saylor’s MicroStrategy holds over 200,000 #BTC, positioning itself as a corporate Bitcoin reserve.
🔹 @cameron & @tyler (Co-Founders, @Gemini) – Early Bitcoin investors and crypto exchange operators, the Winklevoss twins have been outspoken about regulatory fairness and crypto’s role in financial markets.
🔹 @cz_binance (CEO, @binance) – Though no longer leading Binance, CZ’s influence remains significant as the founder of the world’s largest crypto exchange. His presence at the summit signals that global crypto players are still deeply involved in U.S. discussions.
🔹 @jespow (Co-Founder, @krakenfx) – A strong critic of U.S. regulatory overreach, Powell has led Kraken in expanding access to Bitcoin and crypto banking solutions.

1/ Post-Reflections from the US Crypto Summit: A Defining Shift in Institutional Crypto Policy

The White House Crypto Summit on March 7, 2025, signaled a major turning point in U.S. digital asset policy. Hosted by President Donald Trump, the event brought together industry and regulators to shape the future of cryptocurrency in the U.S.

Even Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong (@brian_armstrong) remarked that #Trump has officially “breathed life back into the industry”, restoring confidence after years of regulatory uncertainty from previous administrations.

Key announcements from the summit included:
1. The creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve #bitcoinreserve
2. The end of Operation Chokepoint 2.0
3. A commitment to #stablecoin legislation before August

4/ Approaches to zkTLS

1. MPC: a network of nodes participate in login and generate a proof such that a subset of nodes are able to come together and generate the secret key to perform the handshake.

2. Proxy: a validator node acts as an HTTPS proxy, where it validates origin responses. The user’s browser will then generate a proof that confirms the encrypted data’s validity.

3. TEE: relies on hardware security guarantees, where the trusted execution environment (TEE) receives the encrypted data, then performs decryption and login.

There is minimal computation overhead associated with the TEE approach, due to being primarily based on hardware trust assumptions. As a result, however, this approach can be vulnerable to flaws in the hardware. The MPC approach also suffers from network overhead due to the extensive communication needed between nodes, but is able to negate a single point of failure due to its multi-party approach. For proxy based architecture, the proxy node can be prone to blocking if it sends too many requests to a server, which can also be a vulnerability.

@delphidigital has a great diagram that provides an overview of these three approaches:

3/ How web3 companies are leveraging zkTLS

@zkPass- an oracle protocol using zkTLS to provide verifiable internet data on chain from any HTTPS website
@OpenLayerHQ - using zkTLS for data interoperability across multiple industries
@OpacityNetwork- data verification network that ly share data across network via zkTLS
@3janexyz- uses zkTLS to allow borrowing via Web2 credit history
@primus_labs- supplies ai models with data from Web2
@plutolabs_- web proofs protocol

1/ One of the topics I kept hearing about in #ETHDenver was #zkTLS– and as a zk enthusiast, I (@alydotxyz) decided to do some digging to share with the rest of the world.

Transport layer security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol used in secure communications over a computer ard details, login credentials, email messaging, etc.). Before encrypted communication begins, a TLS handshake is performed between a client (a web browser) and a server. This handshake will then establish the encryption keys and security settings for the session. The protocol then requires verification of client and server identities in order to access the data.

Essentially, TLS is used to securely encrypt data across networks.

zkTLS involves zero-knowledge proofs and TLS. In its simplest form, zk proofs are used to prove something is true without revealing the sensitive data (inputs). I won't be excessively covering zkp's, but feel free to check out the resources I’ll link at the end of the thread!

@DeFiMinty has an amazing diagram which offers a comprehensive overview of zkTLS:

6/ Advancements & Research

Current research is focused on:
• Enhancing consensus mechanisms and error reconciliation (e.g., refining noise sampling techniques like those used in FrodoKEM).
• Discovering algebraic techniques such as Ring-LWE and optimizing Number Theoretic Tranplication to reduce computational overhead.

These innovations are critical for achieving practical, efficient, and secure lattice-based cryptographic systems.

Read more here: electricdusk.com/ntt.html

4/ Lattices

A mathematical lattice is a grid of dots formed by all integer combinations of basis vectors in n-dimensional space. Formally, given the basis vectors b1, b2, ..., bn, the lattice is defined as the equation pictured below.

The lattice structure becomes ficant when extended to a large dimension. Human’s spacial intuition breaks down even at 4th dimension, so imagine visualizing a 1,000th dimension lattice.

A great resource from @kelseyahe: youtube.com/watch?v=QDdOoY…

2/ The Issue with RSA & ECC

Quantum algorithms like Shor's can efficiently break RSA and ECC by solving by solving their foundational mathematical problems. As quantum processors advance (e.g. Google’s Willow), quantum computing poses a significant threat to current crypo its ability to use specialized algorithms to solve problems that are computationally difficult for classical computers.

If we fail to transition to post-quantum cryptography, a quantum-enabled cyberattack on financial infrastructure, such as the Federal Reserve’s Fedwire system could reduce U.S. GDP by 17%, resulting in a loss of $3.3 trillion.

1/ With quantum computing advancing rapidly, traditional cryptography like RSA and ECC, which rely on integer factorization and discrete logarithm problems are likely to become obsolete. Enter lattice-based cryptography—a quantum-resistant solution!

In this thread, @elsonliuzq, on department explores the concept of lattice-based cryptography, and how it could disrupt the future of secure communication 🔐

What is an Agent?

An AI agent is an autonomous system that takes in a user’s goal or query, processes it, and determines the best way to accomplish the task. It orchestrates various components like LLMs (brain), tools (hands), memory (recall), and an orchestrator cute tasks efficiently

An AI agent processes user queries using an Agent Runtime, which consists of:
1. Orchestration – Manages goals, instructions, and planning.
2. Memory – Stores short-term (session-based) and long-term (persistent) data.
3. Model – The agent’s reasoning engine (LLM like GPT, Claude, or LLaMa).
4. Tools – External APIs or plugins that allow the agent to interact with real-time data.

The workflow:
A user sends a query ➝ Agent Runtime processes it using the Model, Memory, and Tools ➝ generates a response.

Here’s a step-by-step flow of how an agent processes a user’s query:
1. User provides a goal or query
2. Agent consults Memory (context from past interactions) & LLM (for reasoning)
3. Orchestrator decides the next action (e.g., calling a Tool)
4. Agent invokes the Tool (e.g., API call with parameters)
5. Tool returns results, which are stored in Memory
6. Agent iterates on the process until the goal is achieved
7. Final response is presented to the user

Last but not least, we always end of the semester with Demo Day, Elections and Final Banquet.
