Billions 🤝 Aurora

We’re teaming up with @auroraisnear on day one of their Marketplace to make sure real humans and trusted AI are part of every launch - faster shipping and deeper trust.

1000 chains? We’re ready. Let’s build!

The Coinbase data leak was completely avoidable.

Companies need to stop leaking people’s data

This breach is another reminder: placing your personal data in a centralized company's hands makes it an irresistible target for attackers

ZK tech is how we fix this.

@sergey_nog ZK for KYC needed asap🙏. Well said!! @sergey_nog

[Sergey Gorbunov @sergey_nog]

Coinbase was hacked last week.

The attackers have private customer data and want a $20M ransom.

They didn't use complex code - they simply bribed overseas support staff.

This unfortunate incident highlights why we need a better approach to identity verification in crypto.

To their credit, Coinbase handled the situation professionally:
• Refused to pay the $20M ransom
• Offered their own $20M bounty on the attackers
• Immediately fired compromised employees
• Promised to reimburse affected customers

But this incident reveals a deeper industry challenge.

The problem isn't Coinbase - it's the fundamental tension between KYC (Know Your Customer) regulations and security.

When exchanges must collect and store sensitive customer data, they are unintentionally creating valuable targets for attackers.

The very regulations designed to protect users have created massive digital honeypots for criminals.

The good news? Privacy-preserving technologies for identity verification already exist.

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) allow users to prove regulatory compliance without exposing their raw personal data. This would allow users to authenticate their identity without actually having to provide any personal information to the vendor.

Here's how these systems work in practice:

Instead of giving your passport and personal details to every platform you use, you could have these credentials verified once by a trusted authority.

Then, using ZKPs, you would generate cryptographic proofs that confirm specific facts (like "I am over 18" or "I am not a prohibited person") without revealing any additional information.

With ZKP-based KYC systems (zkKYC):
• Users control their own identity data
• Exchanges verify compliance without storing sensitive information
• Regulators get necessary oversight
• Hackers have nothing valuable to steal

Projects like @PrivadoID and zkLogin are already pioneering such solutions.

These technologies align perfectly with the original ethos of cryptocurrency: decentralization, user sovereignty, and cryptographic security.

Protecting user data isn't at odds with regulatory goals - it's actually essential to achieving them. With the right technology, security, privacy, and compliance can coexist.

This incident is an opportunity to accelerate the adoption of privacy-preserving technologies.

Identity meets privacy on @avax!

Privado ID now powers zero-knowledge identity and permissioning on Cogitus - @0xZeeve's modular L1 launcher:

🔐 Privacy by default
⚙️ Human-first, compliant Web3 apps

Try Cogitus https://t.co/D7TOMNluhZ

Let's build a more trusted internet.

📣 CDK goes multistack 📣

Aggregating web3 means meeting builders where they are – with more freedom and fewer limitations.

We're thrilled to announce the newest addition to Agglayer: the CDK OP Stack configuration, with native Agglayer interop. A new way to build OP Stack chains, supercharged with zk tech and maximum sovereignty. Without the silos, 15% tax, or seven-day delays.

With OP stack joining the current CDK Erigon stack, this is the first of many stacks to aggregate everything on Agglayer.

[Quadratic Accelerator @theqacc]

🥁 It’s official - q/acc round 2 is LIVE!

→ Four new projects fair launch their tokens.
→ Eight returning projects ramp up liquidity.

With insiders locked out, you’re early, by design.

1/2 🗳️ Introducing DAVINCI: The L2 zk-rollup for universal voting, solving the flaws of both onchain and traditional systems

🎉 We’re excited to share that we’ve raised $1M to build DAVINCI, a voting protocol that does what no governance system has done before:

Censorship-resistant, gasless, anonymous, anti-coercion, and massively scalable voting.

All backed by cryptographic guarantees and Ethereum security.

Since 2018, our L1 blockchain has powered hundreds of secure elections for political parties, local governments, associations and DAOs. We built it with the best tools available at the time.

But technology evolves and today, breakthroughs in cryptography allow us to go far beyond what was previously possible.

DAVINCI is that leap forward:
A zk-SNARK–based state machine, run by a decentralized network of offchain Sequencers with token incentivization, designed to meet every requirement for secure and accessible voting for the masses:

🔐 Votes are anonymized, unlinkable, and tamper-proof
🤐 Re-encrypted ballots make bribery and intimidation ineffective
🧱 Modular ballot logic supports any voting method
⚙️ Rules enforced with zero-knowledge proofs and smart contracts
🌐 Voting is unstoppable, thanks to a decentralized network of Sequencers fueled by a native token
📦 High scalability, as all the votes are compressed into a single zk-proof and settled on Ethereum

In summary,
— No single authority can stop you from participating.
— Voting is gasless.
— Your choices remain entirely private.
— Scalable to milions
— And it all works at a fraction of the cost of direct onchain voting, with equivalent guarantees!

We have seen a huge wave of AI agents. Making one agent discover other suitable agents for more viable use cases and interact in a decentralized way will open a huge market for interoperable agentic economy.

Existed to share AgentConnect research with Akshat Joshi, a shy but brilliant natural intelligence, we welcome your inputs.

Executive summary:
AgentConnect provides a novel, decentralized communication and discovery layer enabling independent AI agents—potentially possessing their own complex internal structures—to dynamically find, interact, and collaborate securely. Unlike traditional, centrally controlled multi-agent systems, AgentConnect fosters a peer-to-peer ecosystem where agents built using diverse tools and frameworks can interoperate based on advertised capabilities. It features capability-based discovery via a decentralized registry, secure message routing through a communication hub, robust security protocols, multi-provider LLM support, and integration with LangSmith for monitoring, paving the way for truly scalable and flexible collaborative AI applications.
