Huge respect to @DefuseSec and congratulations on the discovery.

I've seen countless posts focusing entirely on AI, while very few are talking about the person behind the finding: Taylor Hornby. He is one of the most respected security researchers in the cryptography and privacy space, a long-time contributor to Zcash, and holds a Master's degree in Quantum Information.

This wasn't a story of a "$20 Claude subscription" magically finding a critical vulnerability. It was a story of an exceptional researcher using AI as a force multiplier. The value came from the mind directing the tool, not the tool itself. As @h4x0r_dz pointed out, simply giving the Zcash codebase to Claude doesn't automatically produce this result.

We're likely going to see another wave of companies claiming AI will replace security auditors and raising money on that narrative. But security has always been about expertise, intuition, adversarial thinking, and deep domain knowledge. AI amplifies those skills—it doesn't replace them.

AI is incredibly powerful in the hands of the best minds. Taylor's work is a great example of what that future looks like.

We need more researchers like @DefuseSec .

@zachxbt has increased the bounty to $100,000, funded from his own pocket, for information such as business contracts, full chat logs, or other evidence linked to CEX market manipulation.

Let’s expose these bad actors and help make the industry more transparent and trustworthy.

🚨 Heads up on Rain Protocol (@Rain__Protocol )
On-chain investigator ZachXBT just flagged this $8.8B token as a potential insider pump.
Key red flags:
81 wallets hold 99.97% of supply
TVL is almost entirely in its own illiquid token
Team wallets traced to previously failed/fraudulent projects (DOP, TOMI)
Suspected price manipulation via Uniswap V3 positions
His words: "You only provide exit liquidity for insiders."
Do your research before touching this one. 🙏
These are allegations by @zachxbt — not financial advice.

Why do some people want Bitcoin and blockchain to disappear completely? Criticism is fine, but outright hatred without understanding the technology makes no sense to me.

First they criticized blockchain.

Now they're adopting it.

From Wall Street to BlackRock, the same technology once dismissed is now helping solve some of finance's biggest inefficiencies.

Adoption speaks louder than criticism.
