What is it?
BitNote is a highly decentralized app that lets you create encrypted notes directly on a blockchain.
It solves a simple but important problem: Where do you store your sensitive information?
BitNote is designed as secure storage for private data, including seed phrases, private keys, safe combinations, and recovery codes. It has built in succession, so your data can automatically be passed down if something happens to you.
@ekuzyakov You can’t delete your wallet from the chain either, does that stop you from storing money on it?
While BitNote isn’t the right solution for every type of data, it is much safer to store seedphrases in BitNote than LastPass or other centralized solutions people use.
Privacy is a theme that will continue to grow in demand, it isn't a fad.
@BitNote_xyz is a really cool product on Avalanche which allows you to store sensitive data onchain, privately.
We’re excited to partner with @BitNote_xyz to bring verifiable AI reasoning to the @avax ecosystem.
Through BitNote’s on-chain storage, every key step of Aizel’s AI inference, from prompts to model decisions to outputs, will be securely anchored on-chain, signed and traceable.

We’ve massively updated the GitHub page — including source code hashes — so you can independently verify BitNote’s integrity.

🚨I lost access to ALL of my crypto keys in a bank safety deposit box. A cautionary tale. 🚨
"Your keys, your crypto"—we all know the saying. But where do you actually store your keys? Off-premise and secure, right? So I did what seemed safest: a @usbank safety deposit box. Massive 3-foot steel vault. Fireproof. Practically bombproof. What could go wrong?
Then, the California fires happened. I lost my house and inside my Trezor, my Ledgers. And the bank, about a mile away, took damage too. But even if the bank burned down, the vault would be fine, right? Good news: it was. My assets were intact. Bad news: in a disaster, everything stops. Power down. Roads closed. No access to the bank.
Now here’s where it gets tricky: I know my keys are safe, but when can I access them?
Calling @usbank support = dead end. Calling the branch? Closed. A neighboring branch tells me, "Local safety deposit boxes are governed by the branch, not the global bank." So how do I contact the branch manager? "You have to call the bank." But the bank is closed. "Sorry, we can’t help you."
After several calls, I finally get this: "At some point, we’ll move your box to another branch. But we don’t know when." Wait… they’re moving my hardware wallets, without me, to some undisclosed location? "Yes." Not exactly the security I was looking for.
This isn’t a sob story—I’m fine, thanks to holding assets on @coinbase (exactly for this reason). But it’s a lesson worth sharing. Years ago, when I worked at the DOE (Nevada Test Site), we studied where to store nuclear waste. Nevada won—no earthquakes, no disasters.
My advice? Next time you’re in Vegas, open a second safety deposit box as a redundant backup. Or consider offline custodial solutions like @coinbase. Even the best security plan has failure points. Be ready. 🔥🙏 cc: @brian_armstrong
Where would you store your most sensitive data--seed phrases, passwords and assets?
@RockwellShah couldn't find the answer, so he built BitNote on Avalanche.
Full interview in the 🧵👇
I just became a victim of cybercrime. All of my wallets were compromised, and my life savings, everything I earned as an artist in Web3 are gone. This happened during a 14-hour flight from Korea to New York, coincidentally in mid-flight when I had no internet access. I have no idea how it happened, but my best guess is a seed phrase leak.
I had a photo of my handwritten seed phrase (not digital) synced to Google Drive, hidden in a random folder, but there’s no sign of any suspicious login activity. It could also have been a leak from the physical paper, but I’m not sure. Public WiFi? Maybe. Malware? I’m pretty sure I didn’t download anything, at least not knowingly. I haven’t had any interactions with suspicious individuals lately either.
The strange part is that only my funds were taken while all of my NFTs remained untouched. I’ve already started moving my valuable NFTs to a new, secure wallet. I’m left with nothing now, and this is probably the biggest challenge of my life. My biggest concern is that all my family members rely on me financially, so I need to bounce back as quickly as possible to continue supporting them.
Right now, my mind is exhausted and I need to get some sleep first.
We are most comfortable in the EVM, so we were focused on choosing the right EVM network.
We needed a balance of high levels of decentralization, low fees, fast response times (finality), fiat/crypto rails, and a strong community that's in it for the long haul.
AVAX fits that well. More decentralized than every other EVM besides ETH, relatively low fees, fast finality due to avax consensus, lots of providers for fiat/crypto rails, and a pretty supportive community that has been building for years.

that's off the top of my mind, can guarantee i'm missing a bunch. vast majority of the above apps are fully live and *not* some hypothetical pre-launch pre-testnet announcement with nice graphics
@avax has been around long enough to have robust infra for devs across categories, wide on-ramp/exchange support, many available cryptonative and tokenized assets w/ deep liquidity + funding and support from many stakeholders and parties not just @AvaLabs
your new favorite L2/L3 with its flavour of the month gimmick might have a bunch of influencers and some engineered hype but that's about it. some self-proclaimed builders are only here to dump a new "community" formed around a yet-to-exist product, others are building for real users with a long-term view, which one are you?
