@ivpay_io It's not the community's job to do your job developing a product that is good enough to be actually used and for partners to want to participate because it's such an amazing product.
The industry normalized $2B in bridge losses and called it maturation.
It is a design pattern that keeps paying tuition.
Most of "interoperability" is messaging pretending to be signing.
That confusion is why the category keeps getting exploited.
"How many nodes in your signer set?"
"Eight."
"That is a group chat, not a decentralized network."
Old thesis: bring assets to @solana by wrapping them.
New thesis: let solana control assets where they already live.
wrappers fragment liquidity.
bridgeless control compounds it.
Ika is coming to Solana.
Your Solana program can sign transactions on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and every other chain. Not through a bridge. Not through a relayer. Through cryptography.
Bridgeless Capital Markets.
Today, we’re announcing our $5.5M Seed round to build the first human data marketplace.
Backed by Sebastian Thrun (Founder of Waymo), Aglaé (Venture Fund of Bernard Arnault), K5 Global, Diplo, Parable VC, Cox Exponential (CX2), Daniel Greenberg (Founder of MSCHF), Harrison Shih (DoorDash Labs), Kent Lacob (Owner of Golden State Warriors), and more.
This brings our total financing to $9 million. (Thread)
At some point we all silently agreed: crypto being painfully hard is just… normal. 🤷
Transaction failed ❌
No error message.
Just "reverted".
You're now a blockchain detective trying to decode what went wrong.
Normal.
Click through three sketchy bridges.
Copy-paste a 12-word incantation.
Wrap your assets in layers of hope-you-don't-unwrap-this-wrong.
Pray the duct tape holds.
If it breaks? ☠️
Skill issue, anon.
That isn't cutting-edge technology. That's a feature phone in 2026 cosplaying as the future.
Here's what actually happened:
1⃣We optimized for decentralization → got fragmentation.
2⃣We wanted trustlessness → built trust-this-specific-validator-set-please.
3⃣We promised self-custody → delivered homework.
The problem isn't that users are lazy.
It's that we're asking them to be database administrators.
You don't need to understand TCP/IP to browse the web. You shouldn't need a PhD in bridge architecture to move your own money.
Mass adoption never waited for people to master Morse code. It exploded when the internet became invisible enough to feel like magic.
The iPhone moment wasn't about better hardware - it was about removing everything between you and what you wanted to do.
No stylus. No manual. Just touch.
Web3 doesn't need another thousand tutorials explaining how the current system works.
It needs systems that don't need explaining.
The future is frictionless.
ZUD 🦑
@0xAduros@RastislavBakala Don't really care if it's alpha, beta or theta. If I were having a look at Qorpo as a project I would like to invest in, that video would inspire zero trust. Just some dude that decided to speak to the camera while driving.
who is in charge of crypto stuff at @x / @xai ? i have a pretty cool idea to pitch you
basically a self-custodial and decentralized multi chain wallet to hold and transact with any crypto asset on any blockchain, accessed solely with x login
for @x this instantly gives every user access to all of crypto, opening up micropayments etc.
for @xai this could be used to provide agents with access to crypto assets with policies and smart contract guardrails
only possible with @ikadotxyz btw
THE BIAS TRAP 🧵
Momentum is building. Structure is improving. But many of you will feel frozen because the last few weeks of chop programmed you to fade everything.
Let's discuss what happens when your conditioning keeps you sidelined during regime shifts 👇
this dude @VitalikButerin drew a triangle a decade ago and everyone became obsessed with something that has such marginal practical implications
meanwhile everyone completely ignored the custody and interoperability trilemma for all these years, watching crypto being taken hostage by centralized exchanges and custodians
shame on you
this makes me so fucking furious, this nonchalant indifference to the fact that all the crypto adoption in the past decade has led to centralization and the dominance of trusted 3rd parties, to the point that the vast majority of crypto value today is fully controlled by trusted 3rd parties
this was literally the only reason for crypto to exist and you fucked it up!!
@ikadotxyz will fix crypto with 2PC-MPC
and it will finally give us full ZUD
Zero-trust
Usability (UX)
Decentralization
all three, no compromises, for both custody and interoperability
you’re welcome
