Road to Cannes

Stable Summit IV will take place at the JW Marriott Cannes, right on the Croisette.

The venue sits directly on the Cannes waterfront, steps from the Palais des Festivals and the centre of the city’s conference district.

Inside, the theatre-style auditorium and event spaces allow us to run the program at a larger scale while keeping discussions focused and accessible.

Outside, everything Cannes is known for: the Mediterranean, the Croisette, and the compact setting that makes it easy for the entire ecosystem to stay in one place.

A serious venue for an epic moment in stablecoin space.
See you there soon!

27-28 March · Cannes

AI won’t replace the crypto CFO. It will replace the crypto CFO who doesn’t use AI.

Unpopular opinion: most crypto projects don’t have an accounting problem. They have a “nobody owns the accounting problem” problem.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Stable Summit!

In Argentina stablecoins are actually used and not just discussed on panels. Hosting this edition in this amazing country felt just right. The sessions reflected that mix of real-world demand and ongoing innovation across the space.

Appreciation to @StakeCapital for hosting and to @CurveFinance for supporting as our ambassador.

Thank you to all the speakers, builders, researchers, and teams who spent 2 days comparing models, debating integrations, and exploring how stablecoins fit into a more decentralized financial system.

Check out the vibes!

[DeFiConnect 🦫 @Defi_connect_]

Thank you, Buenos Aires.
And thank you to everyone who made DeFiConnect what it was.

2 days, 5 summits, 180+ speakers, 4000+ registrations, workshops, meetups, co-work, debates, and a venue full of people who actually care about building DeFi.

Huge appreciation to everyone involved across Stable Summit | @stable_summit, Vault Summit | @vault__summit, Oracle Summit | @OracleSummit, Universal Staking Day, and the Privacy & Compliance Summit. The feedback we heard again and again: having every core piece of DeFi in one place just works. Different tracks, different speeds, but the same community, and it showed.

Thank you to every speaker, partner, and team who helped shape the content.
Thank you to the builders, researchers, founders, auditors, investors, operators, and students who showed up, asked questions, and showed up ready to engage all the way through.
And thank you to everyone who told us this format finally felt “harmonious” - that means a lot.

We’ll share more soon.
For now, here’s the recap ❤️‍🔥

🚀 MAJOR UPDATE: @KakarotZkEvm has been acquired by @zama

A major milestone for open and confidential blockchain infrastructure. As the only board member of Kakarot, having led one of the early investment rounds in a project that @VitalikButerin and other incredible supporters believed in from the very beginning, I couldn’t be prouder to share this milestone.

At @StakeCapital , we engage in a few M&A operations each year, but this one is truly special. After months of personally and through Stake Capital structuring the deal, I’m thrilled to see the outstanding Kakarot team join Zama, a global leader in Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).

Having been a long-time supporter and advisor to Zama, and a close friend of its CEO, this acquisition represents the perfect alignment of vision and purpose. It brings together two pioneering forces that have each pushed the limits of what’s possible in decentralized computation.

The Kakarot team has achieved something remarkable: proving the full Ethereum protocol inside a zkVM and advancing the frontier of on-device proof generation. Their journey from vision to execution has been nothing short of inspiring.

🔹 Kakarot advanced the frontier of scalability by proving the full Ethereum protocol inside a zkVM.

🔹 Zama is redefining privacy with FHE, enabling encrypted computation on public blockchains.

Together, they unite ZK and FHE, scalability and confidentiality, to build the foundation for a new generation of trustless, privacy-preserving systems.

This convergence is not just the future of blockchain.
It defines the next era of privacy-preserving AI and confidential computing.

In a world increasingly driven by data and machine intelligence, the ability to compute, train, and reason on encrypted data without ever exposing it is the cornerstone of digital trust.

We are entering the HTTPZ era, where the web, blockchain, and AI infrastructures converge around confidentiality, composability, and user sovereignty.

Huge congratulations to @ClementWalter , @ETazou , and the entire @KakarotZkEvm team, and to @randhindi and the @zama team, for pushing the boundaries of cryptography, blockchain, and AI.

This is a defining moment for the ecosystem and one that reinforces our long-term conviction: the future of blockchain lies where cryptography, privacy, and computation converge. 🙏🏻

[Rekt News @RektHQ]

We’ve seen what happens when the audits go wrong.

Millions lost. Protocols drained. Reputations shattered.

And every time, the story starts in the same place:
a Telegram DM.
an “intro.”
a desperate hunt for someone, anyone, to check the code.

Security became a backchannel hustle, a game of favors, promises, and paperwork.
The cost? Clarity. Speed. Trust.

So we built something different.

Not another firm.
A broker.
A matchmaker.

Introducing: the Rekt Audit Broker.
In partnership with @StakeCapital.

One form. Multiple responses.

Auditors don’t know who they’re bidding against.
You don’t need to know 3 founders to get a quote.
Everyone shows up with their best, or not at all.

Every match vetted. Every proposal tracked.

It’s not a revolution. But it helps, a lot.
