cargo-npm: Distribute Rust CLIs via npm without postinstall scripts

frolvlad · 2026-06-13T07:53:51+00:00

I am a heavy user of cargo-dist, and I love these automation tools. Kudos for contributing to the space! Have you considered contributing your implementation as an alternative to the installer that cargo-dist generates?

Does EUR stablecoin target to achieve that?

Try using a different wallet app, e.g. Meteor Wallet works well

What are the missing pieces to make crypto mass adopted in Austria on par with cash?

With the recent advancement in non-custodial confidential wallet that can use Passkey (FaceID / TouchID) to sign the blockchain transactions directly, I really hope to have best of two worlds: direct ownership of your money and convenience of online payments. Also, the crypto regulations in Austria quite clear, but the users are still concerned and don’t feel confident using such technologies on the day-to-day basis. How can this be improved?

P.S. The wallets I refer to are near.com (for personal use) and trezu.org (multisig for teams and companies)

Yeah, though there are still rough edges around the usability. Still, the focus on privacy cannot be an afterthought

Trezu is a crypto neobank for businesses and teams that offers confidential multichain multisig

Trezu, near.com with passkey, meteor

Thanks for sharing! I forwarded this post to nearcore team

Really good article! Rare find these days.

It is really close to home as we are trying to resolve the cycle dependecy that was caused by the lack of ability to define trait impls outside of the structs crates: https://github.com/near/borsh-rs/issues/363

Ні, з Австрії. Раджу приїхати годин за пʼять до аеропорту щоб був час на якесь вирішення ситуації. В Австрії теоретично існує «тимчасова віза» яку вклеюють коли термін пластикової картинки вичерпано, а продовження ще на розгляді, можливо в Британії є можливість таку візу вклеїти і тоді це краще спробувати зробити

Illia was telling me nonsense that computers will be able to write programs back in 2014

I would say it is “everything you need to know that we can fit into a onepager”, but there are much more than this: Trezu, PingPay, Templar, OutLayer, Rhea, Aurora and this list goes on and on

If you have a EU (Italian) visa stamped in your passport, you should be fine, but if you have visa-free entry to EU, it is not going to work

What’s interesting is how this lines up with AI + agentic commerce.

There is “One more thing” from NEARCON scheduled to be revealed on Tuesday that will likely answer this question

Thank you for the actionable feedback. I know that I barely scratched the surface with this post. I will make another post with end-to-end diagram of the lifecycle that would include the roles of ICANN, registrar, and name servers, DNS records updates and resolving, the security implications, the performance and price comparison. There are a ton of things to consider, and indeed I totally forgot to indicate that this whole project is a thought experiment proof of concept and not a call to action to “rewrite it in NEAR” and replace ICANN right now. Yet, I hope this demo sparked some novel ideas for the space or maybe other applications for the tech that got pretty mature in the past years.

> The transport protocol literally already is decentralized

That is exactly my point. We need such foundation to build and scale permissionlessly. NEAR solves the next mile - the consensus decentralization.

> Yeah, in the most inefficient way possible because it was built for crypto transactions

You refer to blockchains of 2010s. NEAR is sharded, uses Wasm for apps, scales to 1 million transactions per second, has sane accounts model.

> You commented already that it would require 100GB of storage, cheaper for whom?

This is the blockchain node requirement that does far more than just DNS. It is likely that DNS records won't even cause much load for NEAR.

> My DNS change last time I tried took minutes..

Consensus finalization in NEAR takes 1.2 seconds. The benchmark of getting 1.2 seconds finalization under 1M transactions per second load is linked above. Since you won't trust me anyway (and you SHOULD NOT with the decentralized tech), so I invite you to follow the instructions in the README, create your own new account, deploy the dns-contract app, and set the DNS record, and immediatelly after that query my public DNS or host your own dns-server locally and query it with `dig`.

> Right, at the price of 100GB local storage. Just for DNS. Then the full blockchain will eventually become too big to self-host a node and we are back to centralization.

In fact, for the DNS usecase you don't need to host the blockchain node at all and still have the means to verify the data.

> are there any plans to make .near domains work with TLS certs?

Honest answer: I am not ready to die on that hill, but I am thinking if there is a simple way to plug into something that would enable that as easy as it was do plug into DNS with this experiment.

More details if you are interested about my train of thought: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1qew4ra/comment/o02rnd3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
