We help gaming developers build the next wave of sustainable, high-LTV games with real player economies.
Today's MMO games have in-game economies, powered by 'gold' or 'gems' - this exists because payments were never viable for in-game economies due to expensive transaction costs and delayed settlements, including chargebacks. It also lacks interoperability.
Gamers mine these items, and go to third-party sites to sell, and convert them to their local currencies.
The costs of conversion and settlement are painfully high, as you would find with legacy remittance models. It also goes outside the economy of the game, which is a loss of revenue for game developers and platforms, like RuneScape
So what if we convert the in-game economy to be powered by stablecoins?
Over 12 months, we tracked a massive North Korean operation targeting crypto dev teams through fake job interviews to deploy malware on their machines. 26 operators, 379 malicious npm packages, 6 coordinated series.
Here’s everything we learned about their operations:
1/4 Strong evidence that North Korean operators use vibe-coding tools like @Lovable to build convincing interview project scaffolding. Fake companies, websites, and coding tests all look real now. What once required real effort; proper structure, realistic configs, clean code - AI handles instantly.
Today we're launching Reaper. Your company can be doing everything right, SSO, MFA, endpoint protection, security training, and still have your employees' names sitting on the dark web next to old passwords, phone numbers and home addresses. Reaper shows you that exposure before someone uses it.

The market has spoken. With the passage of Meta-038, MetaDAO is now employing Groom Lake for institutional-grade security, intelligence - including due diligence on prospective founders and teams - and 24/7 incident response.
Friendly reminder that North Korean exploits haven't slowed.
$577M stolen in the first four months of 2026 alone, 76% of all crypto hack losses this year.
You don't know what you don't know.
Unless I’ve mistaken this is a first-of-kind regulated insurance policy covering crime to such an extent in DeFi.
It was a huge effort to get here with over 12 months of work from Teo Kithara-Bigot, Adam Wickens, Alex Krasnow and guest appearances from Christian Ogden-Davies.
We feel this is the most robust regulated product out there in the market for DeFi lending markets and we hope this can provide foothold for more cover to grow as we expand.
@0xGroomLake This is starting to get on the radar of more people (thankfully), counterparty risk when it comes to deals is another massive area that ppl heavily overlook
Wrench attacks are still climbing in 2026 and they have nothing to do with your keys.
Criminals skip the technical side entirely and go straight for the person, with threats, coercion, physical force until you hand over access yourself. Analysts found roughly 45% of reported attack frequency tracks directly with market cap, so as prices rise, so does the violence.
Reduce your exposure: keep your public identity separate from your holdings, split day-to-day funds from long-term storage, and audit what's out there with your name attached to it.
