Building generative media tech

3 fable sessions was a bad choice

@draecomino This is what happens when design is your only differentiating factor. You iterate so hard on design it takes away from the simplicity that used to be Apple products. Just look at the photos app.

@_weidai we’re actively having discovery calls on this. More from a PII lineage stand point.

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@rajgokal 100%

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@RyanSAdams We should all get behind @iampaulgrewal and @coinbase and their efforts around updating the BSA. That would hopefully then spill over to big tech.

@VihaarNandigala 🔥

@xmtp_ Los Angeles office any time soon?

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@ethereum @ethereumfndn @MetaMask @Google @coinbase Here for the agent discoverability standards 🫡

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@tferriss Bullish. Because privacy is good. ZK proofs can align with regs and in many cases they can actually make compliance easier, cheaper, etc.

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@a16zcrypto We agree! @trezalabs

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@mert We’re very much interested in telling the story of privacy @trezalabs. More on this next week 👀

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@mert Very cool. We’d like to help @trezalabs.

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@mert A great mobile app would be cool. Wealthfront like experience for defi. Or defi sports betting for the gambling man.

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@RyanSAdams We have the tech to fix this. Your bank balance should not depend on your willingness to comply with the government. Crazy.

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

@GivnerAriel we have the technology to fix this

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

The choice comes down to your priorities and use case.

Smart contract escrow is ideal when you want transparency, user control, and don't need complex off-chain integrations.

Secure enclaves are better when you need private algorithms, off-chain data access, or want to use familiar programming languages. They're also well-suited for AI agent execution given their autonomous nature and ability to integrate external data sources.

The takeaway? Large institutions and hedge funds will likely want the best of both worlds: private on-chain execution, combined with secure enclaves for cross-chain strategies and proprietary AI models.

The future of institutional crypto is programmable privacy at scale. 🤔

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

Been diving into automated crypto strategies and exploring two fascinating approaches: smart contract escrow vs secure enclaves.

Each has completely different trade-offs. 🧵

[Alex Daro @al_daro]

Secure enclaves provide private compute and can integrate off-chain data sources while providing hardware-level security guarantees. Cryptographic attestations can be written back to the blockchain for auditability. You can also use common programming languages like Python and JavaScript.

However, they require custody of user keys, complex infrastructure setup, and users must trust the operator or roll their own solution.

@v4l4g_ @levelsio pretty good. Not a traditional marketer but all around entrepreneur.
