1/ Bastion now supports webhook signing.

We’ve added signed webhooks so your systems can cryptographically verify the authenticity and integrity of each event before processing it.

[Caroline Friedman @CFriedman00]

@AriannaSimpson Congrats Arianna! We were so lucky to have your guidance and support! Any founder would be incredibly lucky to have you in their corner. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

[Bastion @Bastion]

1/ We’re happy to share that we received our first two Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in New Hampshire and Arkansas and can now support fungible assets in both states.

1/ 📣 Exciting update from Bastion 📣 We've just secured our Money Transmitter Licenses in New Hampshire and Arkansas!

This week’s events will be used by some to paint web3 as the "wild west." In reality, these events, like prior excessive financial risk-taking collapses, are instances of wrongdoing that were preventable.

We have to stop this from happening again.

[Caroline Friedman @CFriedman00]

👇🏻 very excited to bring on @CollinMcCune7 as our new Head of Gov Affairs at @a16zcrypto.

[Anthony Albanese @AAlbaneseNY]

We believe that thoughtful web3 legislation & regulatory clarity will unleash innovation and keep the U.S. a tech leader. This is one of the few bi-partisan issues.

That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Collin McCune as Head of Gov Affairs @a16zcrypto

I reviewed @HermanNarula’s book, Virtual Society, where he explores the historical & philosophical origins of the metaverse & envisions an interoperable future. When the metaverse emerges, digitally-native value will develop & permeate into the real world

Governor @GavinNewsom backed up his executive order with a strong show of support for the web3 industry today by vetoing AB 2269.

He’s given us a great opportunity to help CA lead web3. Time to make it happen!

[Eddy Lazzarin ☀️ @eddylazzarin]

The Merge today will be one of the most important moments in the history of open source! Hard to think of a cooler example of a community of hundreds of developers across many orgs driving years of open-ended research and hard technical development
