20,000 strong today. Thank you so much everyone for the confidence and support. There’s still so much to do. Our commitment is to build the best open social experiences for Europe and beyond. Always for people first.

Week 18 2026 ProbeLab's update on the most notable results on @ipfs.tech from the past few weeks is here: discuss.ipfs.tech/t/probelabs-... Follow all the action at: probelab.io!

Partial blame to Microsoft and Zoom for normalizing the need to install new software just to make video calls, despite browsers being perfectly capable. They make it extra hard to even find the web-only links. simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/3/s...

If you've noticed @ipfs.tech's upload/publish performance is so much faster lately, wonder no more! ProbeLab's Optimistic Provide is finally in production and it's working like a charm! Check how and why at: probelab.io/blog/optimis... Here's how big the improvement has been!

Check out ProbeLab's update on the most notable results on @ipfs.tech from the past few weeks here: discuss.ipfs.tech/t/probelabs-... and, as usual, follow all the action at: probelab.io.

At ProbeLab, we just launched an ENR viewer! The tool allows to decode and inspect @ethereum.org Node Records. Inserting your ENR will give information about your node’s ID, public key, IP address, ports, and GeoIP, hosting provider. Check it out at: probelab.io/enr-viewer/.

today, we're announcing our €3,8M ($4.5M) seed financing round, led by byFounders with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Antler, Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub), Avery Pennarun (CEO of Tailscale) among other incredible angels. read more on what's next: blog.tangled.org/seed

We crawled the Monero P2P network and here's what we found: - 16,454 reachable nodes - 81.6% flagged as spy nodes - 80%+ running on a single cloud provider (Spruce Creek) Monero's transaction privacy is strong but its P2P layer tells a different story. Full methodology and data in: bit.ly/40BzFgh

Excited to announce our collaboration with @ipfs.tech and https://dasl.ing on two new standards for the next thousand years of decentralized social video: S2PA and MUXL! Together they give us a standard for self-certifying and content-addressable media in the decentralized social ecosystem.

ProbeLab has improved its tooling to distinguish between different service classes for requests that hit the traditional @ipfs.tech (ipfs.io and dweb.link) gateways. Follow the action at: probelab.io/ipfs/gateway...

Exciting news from the ProbeLab team! We've just added Monero crawling functionality to Nebula, our network-agnostic P2P crawler! 🕵️‍♂️📈 Measuring privacy-centric networks like Monero is notoriously difficult, but Nebula can now do the following:

Pleased to say I started back with @probelab.io today on a part time basis.

As part of ProbeLab's revamp of @ipfs.tech metrics, we now have data on the performance of traditional, as well as service worker gateways! Read more at: probelab.io/blog/ipfs-ga... and head over to probelab.io/ipfs/gateways/ for all the dashboards!

Wann genau sind einige der Qualitätsmedien eigentlich so kaputtgegangen? Mit einem Politiker einer in Teilen rechtsextremen Partei darüber reden, ob Deutschland nicht auch Faschismus gut täte. I have no words.

With the necessary slight delay, here's a thorough review of ProbeLab's activity and achievements in 2025 and our focus areas for 2026: probelab.io/blog/probela.... Looking forward to work with more networks and enhance the P2P layer of decentralised blockchain networks!

Good morning #FOSDEM! I'll be kicking off in the Decentralized Internet & Privacy devroom @ 9:05a today with tales of @ipfs.tech and our ♥️/👿 affair with web browsers. fosdem.org/2026/schedul...

Here's ProbeLab's summary on the highlights and notable results for the @ipfs.tech network for the past few weeks: discuss.ipfs.tech/t/probelabs-... Follow all the action at: probelab.io!

New metrics on @ipfs.tech just landed on probelab.io! Among others, check Kubo e2e performance, number of daily unique CIDs on the Amino DHT, and IPNI status. Check more details at: discuss.ipfs.tech/t/probelab-s.... Check all of this and more at: probelab.io/ipfs/

ICYMI, ProbeLab has launched a brand new website to showcase the metrics we're publishing for @ipfs.tech, @ethereum.bsky.social, @filecoin.bsky.social, @polkadot.bsky.social, Gnosis, Celestia, Optimism, Base, Avail, with several more coming soon! Head to: probelab.io to see what's new!

A lot happened in content addressing in 2025. Like, a lot. The IPFS Foundation wrote up a summary for your enjoyment! ipfsfoundation.org/content-addr...

You can finally self-host IPFS at home 🏠✨ Major updates to Kubo, Boxo, and Helia. DHT Provide Sweep, AutoTLS, HTTP retrieval. Here's everything we shipped in 2025: ipshipyard.com/blog/2025-sh...

www.eurosky.social "This is the next era of social media—built in Europe, run on our cloud, ruled by our laws. Users choose the content. Businesses control their brand environment. People control the algorithms. Not Big Tech. Not ever."

Sup frens I have a DHT protocol now: www.iroh.computer/blog/lets-wr...

The ProbeLab team participates in FIL-rPGF Round 3 to showcase the extensive set of results that we've been producing for the Filecoin network. Thanks to @protocollabs.bsky.social @fil.org LotusPond Association for supporting this round. Check our extensive results at: probelab.io

We announced the new native Go FIPS 140-3 mode today! FIPS 140, like it or not, is often a requirement, and I was increasingly sad about large deployments replacing the Go crypto packages with non-memory safe cgo bindings. Go is now one of the easiest and most secure ways to build under FIPS 140.

I wish we had spaces to collaborate on technical work where being a jerk was just not allowed. Like, actual proper fearless moderation. Your reply starts with "No." on its own line? Two weeks ban. Learn to behave. You go on a tear about another participant? One year ban. No warning. Bye.

@dtrautwein.eu explains how to count nodes

Baselight is now open for everyone! Come see structured data like you never have before.

New data drop from the ProbeLab team! We re-ran our Optimism Superchain composition analysis — and total nodes tripled since Nov 2024. Base leads the mainnet pack, Europe’s node share grows, and infra diversity widens. 📊✨ Full breakdown 👉 www.probelab.network/blog/optimis... #Superchain #OPStack

You’ve never seen blockchain data like this before, literally! For the first time ever, Baselight & @probelab.io are making onchain infrastructure insights public, so builders can monitor, analyze, and scale decentralized systems. Query @ethereum.bsky.social , @filecoin.io, Polkadot and more!

A pleasure to work with @yiannisbot.bsky.social, @dtrautwein.eu, and the @probelab.io team to enable analysis of unique blockchain and decentralised network data.

Testing concurrent programs can be difficult and error prone. We're experimenting with a new approach to try to make this easier and more reliable. Interested? Read more at go.dev/blog/synctest

Weekly Network Health Reports for the Filecoin DHT are now a thing - brought to you by @probelab.io! Reports live on probelab.io - latest one is here: probelab.io/filecoin/dht... - and are produced weekly on Mondays.

Super excited to share this! I'm starting a new journey leading an awesome team to offer alternatives to centralized authorities in games, digital identities, and CBDCs @randamu-labs.bsky.social! www.einpresswire.com/article/7619...

A lot of potential partners ask us @probelab.io how we crawl the networks. We don't keep it a secret, and the heart of it is @dtrautwein.eu's Nebula: github.com/dennis-tra/n.... It's open source, so you can run your own crawler, and it's also network agnostic. It can't get better than that!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #22,085!

It may come as a surprise, but most @ethereum.bsky.social nodes are not on the big 3 cloud providers. Only 1003/8825 nodes are on AWS, 83/8825 on GCP, 50/8825 on Azure. You can read about it in our weekly reports on @probelab.io For this week's report on Ethereum: probelab.io/ethereum/dis...

I wrote up a blog post on our findings with scaling Go to 192 cores per machine and the limits we ran into with the Go runtime here: jazco.dev/2024/01/10/g... It was a really interesting problem to investigate and had us scratching our heads for a little bit but the performance gains are huge.
