Stablecoins settling in private workflows with regulated financial institutions on @CantonNetwork sounds like a boring thing.

& it might be a little boring, which is why it's so important. It brings the benefits of being onchain while aligning with how a growing list of Visa issuers using stablecoins already use their existing core systems.

[brale @brale_xyz]

Today we’re announcing a collaboration with @Visa to explore a key question in institutional stablecoin adoption:

How do you get the speed and programmability of blockchain settlement while preserving privacy?

Day Zero is May 5, 11am-1p CT! The whole event lands on agentic payments & the infrastructure underneath them. + we're shipping webhooks. 5 live stablecoin demos.

Event is free to customers & community. Register -> https://t.co/oXGLZSYrWi

This is the writeup I wish I had been reading Sunday evening. We pulled our DVN.

[brale @brale_xyz]

We turned off our LayerZero DVN this weekend.

It was 1-of-1, the same shape as the one that got compromised in the KelpDAO incident. Here's the full story of what we did, what we read, and what other DVN operators should take from it ↓

Thrilled to see this and what it means for financial institutions around the world getting exposure to the @CantonNetwork unique feature set.

Congrats to the teams who put this together! 👏 @Visa 👏

@bpmilne If gas, Weber again. If you want flexibility (low/slow or searing hot), insulation for winter cooking, and don’t mind starting charcoal, big green egg. But don’t move the egg much…they are best stationary.

Checkout the case study. It was fun to be a part of.
