Excited to be part of the ecosystem as a collective member to grow move developers and auditors in Kenya and East Africa 🚀
Shout out to @Benjaminajib, @Aptos_Africa and @Aptos for believing in me and @mbiebuz 🔥.
Please join us in welcoming the Summer ’25 Aptos Collective cohort!
39 new members are joining our global crew of ambassadors: builders, creators, and connectors who lead with heart, talent, and conviction.
From code to content, culture to community, they’ve already made an impact and now have the platform to do even more.
This cohort embodies the Collective spirit: selflessness, creativity, and relentless optimism. We’re proud to build alongside them. Let’s go!
🍕 Exciting @Aptos audit opportunity! @CodeHawks just launched a beginner-friendly audit challenge: the Pizza Drop!
If you're new to auditing or @Aptos, this might be the best thing you can do right now. If you're curious about Move, this is a great way to learn.

Should you get into web3 security? The real nature of the job. A little reflection on a Saturday afternoon.
Software security, specially the current state of smart contracts' security, is a weird chimera of a philosophical and technical job.
Even in the future of the industry, where manual reviews will likely be decreased thanks to automation. You will still need the analysis, the paranoia mindset. The development of thoughts.
I'm a security researcher because I like protecting code, yet, the ultimate reason of why I like that is because I love developing thoughts, not software.
In fact, I hate developing software. But designing software, I love it. Because it involves the same creativity and pure development of thoughts process.
Security researchers' nature is not that much the one of builders, more the one of philosophers.
What I love is thinking, imagining, analyzing, reaching conclusions. And that is what security research is all about. I meant it has the word research on the name. xd
I always wondered, if I hate software development so much, why didn't I hate designing it or attacking it? Turns out it is because I love thinking.
Software architecture roles are often left for senior software engineers. Security seemed the only branch I accidentally found that promotes pure development of thoughts without requiring you to be a junior developer for years.
To be honest, I would be a parachuting instructor if the security research branch did not exist.
Now I understand better why I enjoy my job. I hope it granted you some insight.
Have a nice day! :)
nothing will make you more anxious than avoiding the work you know you need to do. ironically, doing the work is almost always less stressful than avoiding it. but we convince ourselves it's the opposite. and that lie costs us progress.
When I got into Solidity auditing, there were hardly any resources.
Then came CryptoZombies, Secureum, Ethernaut… suddenly everyone’s an auditor.
Move?
No bootcamps. No CTFs. No handholding.
Just docs, vibes, and grit.
You're still early, anon. Build your edge.
When systems govern real value, assurance demands more than simulation.
@Aave and Cantina launch a $100,000 CTF challenge, giving researchers access to production infrastructure under strict, scoped conditions. Details below.
Unspoken heros including pur very own Ndiangui Kinyagia and the government must produce him alive and unhurt. WE ARE NOT BEGGING #FreeNdianguiKinyagia#SiriNiNumbers
The proposal to bring Aave V3 to Aptos mainnet has officially passed.
This marks Aave’s first deployment outside the EVM ecosystem. Another solid step for DeFi on Aptos.

The AIP to deploy Aave V3 on @aptos has passed.
To thoroughly test the deployment, we're kicking off a @cantinaxyz CTF event tomorrow, with $100,000 up for grabs.
you can become more confident by showing yourself daily evidence that you are who and what you say so start stacking wins. no matter how small they are, confidence will come once enough undeniable proof is on file. this is how you outwork your own insecurities.
You wake up at 5AM not to build hospitals, not to fix roads, not to feed children .
But to wrap Parliament in wire like a crime scene.
You barricade the city like you’re under siege. But the only thing you’re hiding from is the truth.
You don’t fear bandits. You don’t fear cartels. You don’t fear the murderers in government.
You fear the teacher who speaks out. The youth who stands up. The mother who says ‘enough.’
That’s who you fear. Because you know ; once the people wake up, you can’t govern them with lies anymore.

Bring all the burning questions you’ve got for Ediken, @dervoiedk the founder will be there to answer them all.
Don’t miss it!
People think spotting bugs is about being a genius.
It’s not.
It’s pattern recognition + reps.
From knowing almost nothing to competing in @code4rena, @CodeHawks, @sherlockdefi & @cantinaxyz,
here’s the #1 thing that helped us catch real bugs in top contests 👇
