Imagine you can pay anyone with your cold hardware wallet like @Trezor , @Bitkey , @Ledger , @Tangem , etc directly i.e.
without ever connecting to blockchains.
Without ever compromising security.
Without ever going on-chain.
Just device to device, chip to chip, peer-to-peer. We've made it possible now.
@IamIanKane or maybe building the digital private cash that moves like real cash between two people and no one else can track it
instant, private and fully offline.
@EliBenSasson building the infrastructure for true privacy via
quantum money concept and laws of physics
with hardware enabled systems that replace a whole network
all at @shiftfdn
I'm not spending a lot of my time thinking deeply about how quantum computers could threaten Bitcoin because I think we're doomed.
I think we're doomed if NOBODY spends time thinking about edge cases and coming up with contingency plans.
to me the final act of privacy is
the true privacy, the kind that makes digital cash feel as direct and private as handing someone cash across a table.

You mean @shiftfdn ?
A "ledgerless" decentralised financial layer. It’s a new system that’s does not rely on traditional blockchain architecture: no validators or consensus.
Removes all the Key bottlenecks of blockchain-based systems - by providing a system that’s instant, gas-less and fully private by default.
Designed to mirror the simplicity and beauty of physical cash in a digital settings. Ensures security and is verifiable.
In my opinion,
privacy should be like this in which there's a system
where instead of every transfer being visible to a broad network,
it could stay mostly between the two people involved.
which will turn money from a public broadcast into something that will feel more like a private handoff.
the idea is simple though:
the more private you make digital money, the more carefully you have to think about trust, verification, and abuse.
and that's what we are building in @shiftfdn
zktls feels like one of those primitives that quietly changes the internet
you prove something happened over a tls connection without exposing the whole thing
that’s huge for privacy, credentials, and agentic systems
starting to feel like the next layer of trust for the web
zkTLS is the most underrated primitive that is already functional today, and I'm sure we'll soon see a lot of products leveraging it.
@bajpaiharsh244 and @jp4g_ are carrying the boats in this field, and they are not chill about it at all.
