An innovative connection with humanities mindset of exploration and creativity.

It is truly a privilege to have a team with men like @TheDr_TheDr.

He selected and applied for this event fully on his own. It's a hackathon hosted by absolute powerhouses like Robinhood Chain and, of course, Arbitrum, with many potential key partners attending. Dr is a beast of a networker and strategic thinker.

I’ve been the CEO of Xerberus since 2022 and, before that, another company called DECUS since 2019: if I were to summarise the essence of what good work as a CEO looks like for me, it’s this:

Select good people
Give them the resources they need
Trust they will do their job well
Remove ego, both in yourself and within the team

Our founder, @snj_peters , is at @ArbitrumDevs Founder House in London this week, July 10–12, building alongside teams working on stablecoins, payments, tokenisation, and agentic finance, with mentors from the Arbitrum Foundation, Robinhood Chain, AWS, and Offchain Labs.

The thesis behind the programme is one we share: finance is becoming programmable.

When software starts moving money, risk needs to be legible to software too.

Xerberus maps tokens, vaults, protocols, and their dependencies into an evidence-backed risk graph: free for humans to read, machine-readable for agents, and funded by the investors who rely on the ratings, not the projects being rated.

Recent ratings, including Euler v2 and Aave v3, are live at https://t.co/FjHMVRwCT3.

If you’re at Founder House and building anything that will hold other people’s money, find Simon.

He’ll show you what our data already says about the protocols you’re planning to integrate.

Anyone serious want to see Ethereum defi ??

Here it is

[Xerberus @xerberus]

We mapped the hidden shape of DeFi.

Underneath every deposit screen there is wiring:

- wrappers on assets
- oracles feeding markets
- vaults routing capital
- rate models setting the terms…

We traced that wiring across Ethereum from on-chain data and drew the whole map: 12,230 contracts, joined by 19,919 links.

The map has a shape, and it took us by surprise more than once.

Parts of it are reassuring. Parts of it are uncomfortable. None of it is visible to the average user.

We're publishing what we found as a six-part series. One idea per part, one chart per idea.

Below is Part 0, the introduction explaining:

what a dependency is, how to read the graph, the eight kinds of link we track. Ten minutes there and every chart in the series reads on sight.

One Ethereum snapshot, 2026-06-22, covering the ~57 protocols we track.

@PlayEmpulse @1047Games You mentioned wallrun? Count me in!

[TheDr @TheDr_TheDr]

Immensely privileged to be representing @xerberus at Proof of Talk next week.

Swing round our booth to chat about how we are changing the game of risk in defi !

If you are a FoF, hedge fund, curator, vault platform or LP- we would love to chat!

[Zeikur @Zeikur]

@xerberus @snj_peters That’s so cool and powerful! Enjoy!

[Xerberus @xerberus]

Institutions need to see the risks at the strategy level.

Until that's solved, big money stays on the sidelines.

The vaults that scale will have:
– the strategy broken down
– every risk scored on its own
– the full picture verifiable by allocators themselves

That's the layer we've been building, and why our work with @ipor_io fits. Transparency-by-default on their side, decomposed scoring on ours.

Ratings as infrastructure, not opinions.

Thanks for a great read @francescoweb3 & @noveleader.

Let's keep making DeFi safer, together.

[Zeikur @Zeikur]

Thank you Xerberus team for keeping every investor much safer 🙂

[simon | xerberus.io @snj_peters]

Again one of these backrooms. And a good reason why you keep these conversations in small rounds.

Thank you @EuEthInstitute for hosting the roundtable on regulatory compliance in DeFi.

Something is moving. Crypto won, now we need to grow up.

Not all regulation is bad. Sometimes it’s exactly what keeps you safe and protects you from the rug pull.

But it’s on us to engage in the coming months and years and shape the regulation we want to comply with.

It gives me great hope to see Ethereum leading the charge, lobbying to make sure the virtues of DeFi are understood by the people writing the rules.

To honor the roundtable, @xerberus just shipped a major update to the regulatory risk factors we include in our ratings.

Spoiler: there is still much to do!

@TheCardanoTimes @ErgoMinnow Do you think cardano’s biggest scammer $scamismypassion prevailed?

[Toby Pomeroy 🇸🇻 🏆🇺🇸 @tobypomeroy]

Thank you @maxkeiser, @stacyherbert, and President @nayibbukele for creating something genuinely extraordinary.

I've been working in Latin America for 16 years, the vision here is distinct and palpable.

El Salvador is writing its own story.

[Xerberus @xerberus]

Builders have to win every day. Attackers only once.

Right now the market rewards speed and can’t see care. So the careful teams lose.

You don’t fix this with better security alone.

You fix it by making risk visible:
→ every part of the system
→ every way it can fail
→ scored the same way across every protocol, by someone the protocol doesn’t pay

Once people can see the difference, the market rewards the safer ones on its own.

That’s the bet behind Xerberus.
