RareWeek Bali was epic. But RareWeek Sri Lanka is about to take it up a notch 🇱🇰
We’re taking over a beachfront property on Sri Lanka’s south coast, built for co-working, and turning it into our home for the week.
- 3 bootcamps to choose from
- accommodation
- Muay Thai and surf lessons
- cold plunges (and quizzes)
All inclusive.
One unforgettable week by the beach 🏝

Do you have anything better to do November 9-14th after Devcon?
No you don't.
Sign up.
In-person learning for Rust and ZK while touching sand and meeting the RareSkills community IRL.
There's a cool third course we'll announce later.
Accommodation included, but spots are very limited.

Spent the last few days hosting the @RareSkills_io familia at my home in 🇱🇰
Highlights include witnessing @Jeyffre’s questionable pickleball skills, @jpmorais80 developing an unhealthy obsession with my beagle ‘Juni’ and smashing giant crabs at @MinistryOfCrab 🦀
Not a bad few days.

I’m not sure what the fuss was, but India was great. Caught up with @RareSkills_io community and friends, experienced top notch hospitality and saw a Spaniard playing cricket.

Halloween came early 💀
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Just finished Chunk 1 of @RareSkills_io zkSNARKs from First Principles.
It’s weirdly addictive. Short lessons, instant feedback, and it checks your understanding at every step. You can’t move on until you actually get it. Nothing slips. The RareSkills team is always cooking🫡

Coming to Sri Lanka for RareWeek? 🇱🇰 A few of you asked for recommendations, so I put together a little guide covering beaches, surfing, restaurants, nightlife, wildlife safaris, and places worth exploring.
Most of these spots are close to Asaya Sands, Mirissa - where we’re read 🧵 1/6

5/6 - A Few Practical Tips
- Most of the places accept cards, but carry some Sri Lankan rupees for smaller shops and tuk-tuks.
- Download Uber and @PickMeLK (local ride hailing app) for cars and tuk-tuks.
- For longer trips, hire a car with a driver. Safest and most comfortable way to travel
- Always check sea conditions before swimming.
- Police emergency: 119
Sri Lanka is a pretty special place, and I’m excited for everyone coming down for RareWeek to experience it.
If you need recommendations, help arranging transport, or have questions about travelling around the island, just reach out.

The RareSkills AI Tutor tracks your progress by the number of questions answered, not the amount of content consumed.
It's hard to answer hundreds of questions and still not understand the subject.
It's (unfortunately) very easy to watch hours of videos yet learn very little.
The AI Tutor does include videos! But they aren't core to the learning experience.
It's the best way to learn ZK!

Lost my 7-day streak because life happened 🥲
Still 20% done with @RareSkills_io ZK-SNARKs from First Principles (38 lessons & 189 questions deep)!
Streak counter reset, progress didn't. Back to work!

Learning ZK is cool.
Been learning about ZK-SNARKs lately! The core ideas behind modern hash-based schemes are surprisingly accessible & elegant 🧙♂️
Partly to teach myself, I wrote a post explaining them from scratch for people like me without a deep math background:
