@mikashi Hold down your iPhone lock and volume up button, even when inactive, to lock and disable faceID immediately. Haptics will confirm, so if you don’t take it out of your pocket to do this you’ll know it engaged.
@WalrusProtocol Sony pumped extreme amounts of money to fail at brand first infrastructure. MiniDisk, BlueRay, BetaMax. MemoryStick. All got obliterated from user preferences by competitors without a strong brand.
Knowing why Sony failed every attempt is a lesson that creates winning infra.
@matthew_sigel What if the PMF of bitcoin is volatility instead of asset price appreciation. A meat grinder absorbing retail capital through the allure of leveraged success.
tl;dr
@ikadotxyz allows hardware wallets to be more secure and usable
----------
one of the most interesting conversation i had at @SolanaConf was with a hardware wallet team
i talked to the co-founder / cto who shared my paradigm that from a security standpoint, hardware wallets should be as "dumb" as possible (zero features) and offline as possible (never connect to the internet)
the problem is hardware wallets have to add features because the user experience is so bad otherwise, which constantly makes the hardware wallet "smarter" and more online - i.e. less secure (a good example of that was the "ledger recover" controversy)
he was amazed when he realized that with ika they can actually keep the hardware wallet basically featureless (only sign messages) and always offline, while still enabling amazing ux because all logic can be enforced on-chain with zero-trust guarantees
post-conference, we are now discussing how they can build a more usable and more secure hardware wallet with ika

so many major unsolved problems in crypto are being solved by ika
custody and interoperability are going to change forever
another really interesting conversation i had at @SolanaConf was with a company doing stablecoin abstraction. they had a really big prominent booth and their value prop was they can swap any stable on any chain for any other stable on any other chain
because they wanted to implement a non-custodial solution (near intents that @DefiIgnas suggests here is custodial), they implemented a super complex hashed timelock contract on both chains that is expensive, slow and requires a lot of maintenance and work when adding new stables and new chains. in fact as of today they only support ethereum, bsc and solana because of these complexities
we went over how they would do that with @ikadotxyz and dwallets and they realized they could do instant transfers with any stable on any chain with no complex implementations and without even needing a smart contract on that chain - all in a completely non-custodial way
ika solves so many major problems in crypto
It's built on 2PC MPC, a cryptographic model for shared key control
The key is split into two shares:
1️⃣ The client share comes from a human-bound key by @HumnNetwork
2️⃣ The protector share lives in an MPC network - @ikadotxyz - that enforces policy before signing
Creators and builders have the same problem: revenue is unpredictable & capital is hard to access.
So I’m building URSM, a marketplace where anyone can buy or sell future revenue streams, powered by enforceable routing via @ikadotxyz.
Real yield. Real cashflows. Real creators.
sui processes 5,000-8,000 tps in production. monad promised 10,000 tps with evm compatibility and delivers 20 tps. that's 250x performance gap. sui trades at 0.3x solana's market cap despite matching its throughput with 99.99% uptime. the market hasn't repriced non-evm superiority yet.
@0xReflection It’s an animated series like Rick and Morty, it’s called @zen_frogs 🐸 Merch store opening soon. Something cooking. I got a T-shirt at an event. The dev runs @web3narva with top guests in the industry and also teaches kids.
