I'm joining @FirepanHQ as one-third of the founding team, here’s why:
Since 2020, my faith in DeFi’s core “code is law” philosophy has smashed hard against the reality of increasingly sophisticated hacks and exploits. As AI coding tools whoosh past the singularity, the attack surface has been growing faster than our ability to defend it.
Last year this hit too close to home. Before deploying a boilerplate rewards claim contract for a personal project (too small to justify a six-figure audit,) I asked several security-minded colleagues to review my code before launch. Only one person caught a glaring access control vulnerability left toggled incorrectly from a testnet deployment, and he found it in minutes thanks to AI security tooling he’d been building.
Many conversations later, we’re proud to release this to builders as FirePan.
FirePan is an AI-native security platform that monitors your smart contracts continuously. Every push. Every pull request. Every new attack vector uncovered sharpens our capability for defense.
As AI accelerates the threat landscape exponentially, our best defense is getting advanced AI security tooling into the hands of builders. We’ll be publishing much more research on this subject in coming weeks, including details on critical vulnerabilities we’ve found for early partners.

The State of Cap has never been stronger.
When we launched our platform, our goal was to scale onchain credit capital markets. As we reach the halfway point of the year, that has started to become a reality and it's only accelerating.
Here's where Cap stands today 🧵

the 60% APY days are over (for now)
but the 30% APY days are still here!
current yvUSD loop numbers (max loop):
- ~$300k USDC available @ 2.3% borrow --> ~30% APY
- (for the humbler farmers) ~$640k @ 3.5% borrow --> ~20%
farmer's paradise 🧑🏻🌾🌾

introducing vyupgrade
it automatically rewrites old vyper contracts into modern vyper, then proves the rewrite is safe by checking it compiles under both source and target versions, diffing the abi, method ids and storage layout.
it supports all syntax changes from 0.2.1 to 0.4.3, as well as picking up dependencies and modules like snekmate.
some rewrites are not inherently safe and need your judgement. the tool flags those and shows you exactly what to look at.

Didn't win any frens saying this back in March, (well ahead of April's bloodbath!) Until our industry acknowledges the problem, it's all going to zero. https://t.co/t60h1YguzJ
I'll also be early to call the solution: @FirepanHQ is here to save DeFi!
PSA: I now consider *all* of DeFi unsafe.
Coding agents are superhuman at finding vulnerabilities, and smart contract security is too asymmetric: defenders need to fix every bug while attackers need just one exploit to steal funds.
looping just got easier - no more finger workout!
the Flex looping UI is now live; 1-click looping via a flashloan
still plenty of liquidity available in the yvUSD/USDC market
earn up to ~55% APY, in 1 click
