flare/v was an official sponsor of @ParisBlockWeek 2026 -- alongside @Ripple, @circle, @Bybit_Official, @binance, and @Cardano. one of Europe’s largest gatherings in digital assets: 10,000+ attendees, 450+ recognized journalists, 320+ speakers. this year’s edition brought institutional weight to match: J.P. Morgan, BlackRock, and Deutsche Bank were among the keynote participants.
thank you to the team for another well-run edition and to everyone who took the time to connect with us in Paris. see you.

PBW26 is a wrap, and what a week it was.
Over 2 days at the Carrousel du Louvre and the Château de Versailles, we brought together 10,000+ attendees from 71 countries, with $55T+ in AUM represented on stage. 1,369 CEOs and co-founders. 1,312 banks and institutions. 389 government officials and policymakers. And a 97.6% satisfaction rate that tells us everything we need to know.
Our biggest edition yet, by every measure.
None of this happens without the partners who believed in the vision from day one. To every sponsor who put their name, their resources, and their reputation behind Paris Blockchain Week 2026, this is as much yours as it is ours.

You didn't just sponsor an event. You helped create the moment where the institutions shaping digital assets came together to do real business, in real rooms, at the highest level.
Thank you. Genuinely.
We'll see you next year at Signal Week.
the practical solution we integrate ourselves: Hacken audits backed by a live @HackenProof Dual Defence program, probing the codebase continuously across https://t.co/6TclzAdxQt portfolio projects.
our partners at @hackenclub published a 53-page report on security gaps in blockchain-based projects. eleven executives (from KuCoin, WhiteBIT, Global Ledger, and others) broke down what sits behind the $482M stolen in Q1 2026.
↓↓↓
the core findings:
→ a one-time audit works as social proof, but not as security layer. regulators are moving in the same direction: away from certificates, toward continuous security management as an operational function.
→ the defining vulnerability of 2026 is AI adoption without commensurate security infrastructure.

[partnership] 1,000+ custom hardware wallets — produced for one of our portfolio projects, flare/v got them distributed across flagship conferences in the Maldives, Europe, and Asia.
this is what mass adoption looks like up close.
thank you, @Tangem.
our team was at @money2020 Asia this week. TradFi and DeFi are past the debate stage, the infrastructure is being built now, and the deals around it are real. @Tangem has been one of our key partnerships this year -- great to reconnect in Bangkok, results to share soon.
this was filmed from the far side of the Moon. the guy behind the camera: NASA Artemis II commander. salary: ~$152K/year. a mid-level Web3 CMO earns x1,5-3 more.
are we building the right incentive system?
Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
#Tether in Q1 2026: $188B in circulation. $141B in U.S. Treasuries. 132 tons of gold. $4.4B frozen across 65 countries -- while frozen funds keep generating yield for the issuer.
this is not a stablecoin company anymore. full recap in Telegram: https://t.co/3jpji9gS2w
Arbitrum froze $71M without the owner's consent: the key exists and the precedent set -- the next emergency will need less justification.
don't mistake the convenience of «decentralization» for freedom. full breakdown in TG: https://t.co/puwtOHWIms
The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications.
After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users.
As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.
