account vs app-specific has a few trade offs - one day we solved fragmentation trade off on the shield app is with universally derived account @WaaPxyz from email or phone. so you can theoretically drive UX from email or more familiar interfaces with a single account across apps - you still need a separate Aztec wallet at this point tho

@0xSinaver @alexanderchopan @humntech @ShieldFi @aztecnetwork @ZKPassport You can verify with zk passport on shield

[S El Damaty @hebbianloop]

anyone can deploy a bridge on Aztec according to their risk profile! Proof of uniqueness for low balance transfers and aml checks for high balance is what we considered fair. Zk passport is supported + relatively easy to get a high score if you’ve been an on chain user for a while - if you’re building something that needs to go through our bridge happy to chat and consider auth paths that reduce UX friction

there’s a greater than 50% chance that on any given day the richest man in the world believes that he’s in a simulation and we’re all NPCs and the only way out of his nightmare is to build rockets

@dcbuilder you haven't lived in the US long enough, your prior needs many more iterative updates before you can understand whats going on here

@mbauwens @allmodelsRwrong @neynarxyz I read the announcement again, looks like they’re trying to be Singapore. Is the idea they ban anyone who ever posted impolite comments? Is it blanket ban on cuss words or is it idealogical?

[S El Damaty @hebbianloop]

pretty stoked to see this out, first of its kind afaik

now any private inference request can paired with an identity claim (is it a human? do they have social account X? are they on a sanctions list? etc.)

anthropic may require KYC eventually but there are other better ways

We’re proud to be using @humntech bridged USDC (cUSDC) to power private payments on Private Inference. 🛡️

Most AI services want your card, your email and your payment history. With cUSDC on @aztecnetwork private rail, you can fund your account without exposing any of that on chain.

What this means for you:
→ 💰 Top up with cUSDC. The sender, recipient and amount stay off chain.

→ 🚫 No card, no monthly plan, no separate accounts with each model supplier.

→ 🔑 One balance and one API key give you access to GPT and Claude models.

→ 📊 Each request is held at its maximum cost, then charged only for actual usage. Unused funds are released right away.

A big thank you to the @humntech team. Their work on bridged USDC is what makes private stablecoin payments for AI possible.

Network state conference was actually p good vibes and felt closer to the og idea. I went in with an intellectual apprehension to the landians I expected would be drawn to the flame but came away with renewed optimism. Who knows mb the whole thing is a precursor to a tech neofascist state, but I’m seeing that more and more as a sign of the times and less the desires of an elite
