Normal humans don’t care about infrastructure.
They care about moments where their life is blocked.
“I have value, but I can’t use it when I need it.”

every lending vault on-chain right now is visible to liquidation bots.
every position. every threshold. every wallet.
we're building the version where it isn't.

South Africa has something most countries don't: regulatory maturity and the patience to get this right.
The countries that rushed blockchain regulation and CBDCs are learning expensive lessons now and we've seen this through a number of use cases in Africa already.
I'll be back at TechCon tomorrow 10h00 for the ministers keynote & a roundtable on security, privacy & public trust.
Come say hi if you're around.

[Devon Krantz @Devkrz]

Yesterday at TechCon 🔥 Here’s what I covered in my talk:
Policy is a conversation. Implementation is a confrontation with reality. And the gap between the two is where most blockchain infrastructure projects quietly die.

One of my favourite weekly reads in web3 right now (Research, tools, regulation and cypherpunk energy) https://t.co/l43BXa4Nju
It's been really useful to help me stay up to date and cut through the signal-to-noise ratio you usually encounter in the space. @web3privacy

@get_para @eco @aave Love this. “Approve everything forever” was always a slightly unhinged design choice 😅

Scoped permissions make more sense and I can’t wait to see implemented more.

[Devon Krantz @Devkrz]

Feels like the stack is finally maturing:

permissions → execution → settlement

More control at the edges, more precision in the middle.

Nice work @get_para 👏

We brought the best of modern authentication to onchain approvals

Cryptographically scoped to an app, customizable, and built for real fintechs and apps

In partnership with @eco and @aave
