Most “AI security tools” drown you in false positives and noise.

Today we’re launching AuditAgent V2 - powered by agent swarms that investigate code, challenge each other’s reasoning, and validate findings.

Recall is now 15% higher - meaning more validated issues are caught.

[Pavel Kravchenko @kravchenkopo]

This highly technical @Rarimo_protocol paper represents, in a way, a potential breakthrough in public key cryptography (time will tell whether small or large). It combines several methods, such as:
- the concept of helper data used in fuzzy extractors for error correction,
- the Bitmessage-inspired idea of “spamming” communication/storage,
- and the well-known method of polynomial interpolation.

Applied to the problem of key recovery, this approach allows the use of imprecise data—such as biometrics (which vary with each measurement) and low-entropy passwords—to securely recover long private keys.

We made a Bitcoin SPV contract on EVM chains economically possible by proving the whole Bitcoin history with Noir.

SPV contract is available on Ethereum and Base. Proof of ~915,000 blocks took 109 hours, but can be verified by the smart contract instantly. We tried to aggregate all technical details here https://t.co/slf4SfvDXI

Very excited about the potential for more intelligent, customizable, and programmable rollups + sequencers

Launching soon 👀

[Makina @makinafi]

We’ve closed a $3M strategic round with some of the most aligned builders, angels, and funds in crypto to rearchitect the infrastructure for tokenized strategies and sophisticated DeFi allocators.

One round. One ICO. Same price.

Started by OGs, backed by OGs.

Gelato's Blockspace Factory creates tailored blockspaces for all use cases. Avalanche L1s, Ethereum L2s, and Celestia Rollups each target unique segments of digital blockspace - the future's largest commodity market. Excited to see how market shares evolve.

[Nick White @nickwh8te]

sentiment is max bearish rn but i've never been more bullish on crypto's future

we *finally* have what we need to build mass market consumer applications:
- extremely scalable chains
- user-friendly wallets & onramps
- battle-tested developer tools & contracts

plus, we are on the cusp of regulatory clarity which will:
- enable entirely new use cases
- make operating crypto projects 10x easier
- open doors for institutional/enterprise adoption

all while AI speeds up protocol engineering & lowers barriers to build apps

ignore the fud. accelerate

1/ Beware the hype: while SNARKs and zkVMs show immense promise, they’re not ready for complex, high-stakes deployments. Bugs are everywhere, formal verification is nascent, and proofs can be hundreds of thousands of times slower than native execution.

Every business is a fintech company—they just don’t know it yet.

Stablecoins are embedded finance's missing piece, giving every developer the tools to expand their TAM, increase retention, and create new revenue streams.

I can’t express enough how important it is that you learn how to trade vol on bitcoin for the simple reason that it is the most capital efficient way to take advantage of the biggest source of alpha in crypto: extraordinary inefficient behavior on timeframes.

Stablecoins have dominated crypto trading & DeFi for years, but real world use cases are emerging in payments.

Here are 3 ways that stablecoins are eating TradFi: 🧵

[David Sacks @davidsacks47]

Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.

It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.

The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”

Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.

The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.

IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.

The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.

The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.

PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT

President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. Those promises have been kept.

This Executive Order underscores President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”

I want to thank the President for his leadership and vision in supporting this cutting-edge technology and for his rapid execution in supporting the digital asset industry. His administration is truly moving at “tech speed.”

I also want to thank the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets — especially Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — for their help and support in getting this done. Finally Bo Hines played a critical role as Executive Director of our Working Group.

things to seriously consider in your hackathon strategy

-think about complementary partners who are going to be at the same hackathon. be really strategic about where you're allocating your investment (both time + money)

-consider regional differences in developer needs + interests. are there specific markets that are relevant to you? narratives in east vs west are very different.

-keep your docs up to date. have a getting started/how-to guide. be clear and comprehensive. don’t assume everyone knows how to do something or who you are

- list any known limitations or issues upfront (or even an faq). let people report + upvote bugs in real time to track common issues

- be responsive. give feedback. direct people to the right resources. if you can’t take user feedback yourself how can you expect others to build good projects?

- ensure your tech is battle-tested before the event. if hackers need to fork your repo and patch it to function that’s omega yikes and you should hire them instead
