BORF Funds on Base: Base’s Smart Conviction Capital for Early-Stage Web3 Builders
I was at a bustling street market.
Everyone’s was yelling about the next big thing.
But… 🧵 ⤵️
@Ledger Ledger just made self-custody a moral duty. Kindness, loyalty, integrity… and hardware signing.
Can’t argue with the scriptures.
We don’t make the rules, but we do secure the bags. Based.
security should never come at the cost of usability.
direct Ledger integration with dapps like 1inch removes unnecessary trust assumptions, reduces friction, and keeps users closer to true self-custody.
the strongest infrastructure is often the one that makes secure behavior the easiest choice.
everyone else: WHY IS THE MARKET RED 😭📉
me looking at my $LAB bag after taking profit at $25 and still riding the move at $12:
this is fine 🔥☕️
shoutout to Ledger for putting the spotlight on the survivors 🔐
this is what (no blind approvals) actually looks like in practice
browser extensions and third party bridges always felt like the weak link
you're trusting layers you didn't build and can't fully verify
connecting @Ledger directly to @1inch with clear signing changes that completely
you see exactly what you're signing on your device screen before it executes
i've been waiting for this kind of native integration
defi finally starting to feel like it was built for people who actually care about security
People often talk about security as if it's just a personal choice.
In crypto, it isn't.
Every wallet holds more than assets. It holds years of work, trust, opportunities, and sometimes the expectations of people who believe in you.
That's why self-custody isn't only about ownership.
It's about responsibility.
Verifying what you sign.
Protecting your keys.
Thinking before you approve permissions.
Building habits that reduce risk.
Being a good person isn't only about being kind to others.
Sometimes it's making sure a single mistake can't wipe out everything you've built.
Tools like @Ledger help secure your keys, but security has never been just about devices.
It's about discipline.
It's about verification.
It's about taking responsibility for every action you take on-chain.
Because in self-custody, ownership is earned through responsibility.
That's what good security really means.
