I used AI to find TEN vulnerabilities in a security audit 🧵
Millions of dollars are being lost to hackers every week in Web3.
So I tested 3 popular AI skills on real competitive audits to see if they can actually protect founders.
The results were NOT what I expected.
The experiment:
→ Target: Real-world competitive smart contract security audits
→ Tools: 3 highly-rated AI skills
→ Goal: See if AI can genuinely assist (or even replace) a human security auditor.
The results:
Founder House London is coming.
This Friday, June 5, we’re going live w/ @arbitrum very own @Swagtimus, @hummusonrails, @kubesqrt, hosted by @JolyOnChain!

I am excited to share that I'll be making my debut speaking engagement in Canada 🇨🇦 this summer at @ETH_Toronto and @Futurist_conf!
Find me at the blockchain bootcamp and at a special panel.
If you want to build for the programmable economy, let's connect!
Builder’s Block #018 is live!
This edition covers what's next for AI: inference verification, risks, and workshops, the sub-second proof verification with Syndicate and Stylus, and the schedule and FAQs about the Open House Online Buildathon.

What if your SQL database had onchain trust built in?
.@syndicateio open sourced exactly that. Let me walk you through the @arbitrum pattern in just 4 minutes 👇
The EU age verification app is presented as “completely anonymous”. But the risk is that member states (the countries are supposed to create their own versions of the open-source EU app) use it to introduce identity verification that makes it impossible to post anonymously on social media.
The idea behind “completely anonymous” is to use Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) cryptography to break the link between the age credential issuer (EU governments) and the regulated services/sites. Currently, the EU app does not have ZKP functionality, contrasting Ursula von der Leyen’s claim that the app ”is technically ready to be used”. But more importantly, the app is designed to always function without ZKP technology; if ZKP is unavailable, the app falls back to a non-ZKP model. Even if fully developed ZKP technology could be implemented in the future, it would remain an optional extra feature that countries may choose to disable and that the EU could remove at any time.
This means that the EU could decide at any time that ZKP may no longer be used, and in one stroke the app would fall back to its default mode, meaning that every post on social media carries an ID tag. By that point, an infrastructure will already have been rolled out; people will have gotten used to it, and it will be harder to roll it back.

I’m starting to use ds4-server, and I’m quite impressed by speed and quality overall 👏
I don’t get why pushing ds4-agent when you could leverage https://t.co/i3eezpLFTr and create custom extensions for ds4 without recreating the agent loop from scratch.
I can imagine you have gains from a holistic approach, but at the same time, retaining the workflow and the extensions/ecosystem is valuable DX
Just my 2 cents, the fact that I can use both bits independently is already great
GM Zebullz!
Excited to share more proof that Londonmaxxing is in!

Every project starts with someone who couldn't accept the status quo. For the Fangorn team, it started with a missing show and a refusal to pay for another subscription.
