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.

Productive LP tokens are finally here!
Get ready to borrow against @CurveFinance LP tokens while continuing to earn CRV emissions and trading fees.
It starts with the reUSD/sfrxUSD LP, coming to @llamalend as collateral for borrowing $crvUSD.

What is stopping someone from making a curve pool with 0 fees, and flashloan swapping a billion times a day to give Curve 99.99% market share?
This is essentially what some uniswap pairs are already doing today.
🚨 vlSQUILL-OPEN holders: Vote AGAINST.
A malicious governance proposal seeks to grant an operations executor “Rebalance Manager rights” over the OPEN index.
This could enable unauthorized value extraction at holders’ expense.

An AI agent today could reproduce 68% of historical onchain DeFi hacks from the pre-hack code.
They account for 23% of the $20.12B stolen.
