Great work from @RootstockLabs building a more secure bridge between BTC and Rootstock.
The current bridge is secure, as the longest BTC sidechain with 0 hacks... but this would elevate it even further

Got a call today from an unknown number - True story
"Hi, this is Interpol calling about a recent purchase."
I went white. Two thoughts running on loop:
1. it's finally happening, i'm in one of those scams you read about online
2. WHAT did i buy and from which shady corner of the internet
Turns out it wasn't Interpol. It was @IndoBoard. Just checking everything was okay with @jesseclark new balance board.
Never been more relieved to get a post-sales call in my life.
I have never been good at using a standing desk, my feet or legs would always start to hurt after 10 or so minutes. This week though I got a balance board and it has been a game changer.... other than the 1 or 2 times I have flown off of it in the middle of a meeting.
Security is a no-brainer and you have to have trust that your assets will be safe guarded. Privacy is naturally #2. If I'm sending assets, they should be confidential to the outside world.
As crypto matures into financial infrastructure, moats will be defined by security posture, compliance enablement and confidentiality.
We keep treating privacy as a silo - a category or a chain you go to.
Security stopped being a product the moment it became table stakes. Privacy will have the same arc, and those that embrace this sooner than later will own the rails everyone else ends up renting.
@brian_armstrong@moo9000 >Non technical teams are now shipping production code
genuinely terrifying lol, already had my data leaked enough before this
The seed phrase was already in the box.
Had so much fun scratching it off!
Amazing customer service.
Very time efficient.
⏸ Except this is exactly how people lose everything.
10/10 scam experience.
Tomorrow I’m joining @Asen to go deep on @bronwallet ✨
We’ll talk about wallets, confidential transactions, and why privacy will define the next era of crypto UX
Why Privacy? Why Now? Why @zama ?
Blockchains radical transparency was a hack, not a feature. It bootstrapped crypto, but for real world scale? Imagine bank statements broadcast globally - a big nope for DeFi, RWAs, or payments. Privacy isnt luxury, its the bedrock for institutions, compliance, and mass adoption. Without it, we’re trapped in surveillance hell; public ledgers broadcasting wealth, positions, and intent, blocking compliant finance, RWAs, and everyday adoption.
Why now? Tipping point: Data breaches everywhere, regs tightening, quantum risks rising. Crypto is graduating from speculative playground to global financial rails: tokenized assets, private stablecoins, compliant RWAs. 2026 is privacys breakout year, the moment confidentiality becomes the moat that separates winners from centralized also-rans. Tech is finally ready: verifiable, post-quantum FHE for seamless, encrypted compute on existing chains. Delay further, and we risk permanent fragmentation or ceding real adoption to TradFi silos that ‘solve’ privacy by centralizing control.
Why Zama?@zama nails composable confidentiality where it counts -layered on ETH, no L1/L2 migration needed. Zama keeps data encrypted during computation, enabling truly private balances, transfer amounts, and token logic -unlocking confidential stablecoins, compliant payments, and institutional-grade DeFi without exposing user strategies or wealth to the world.
Pure crypto security + verifiability + no ecosystem upheaval.
Privacy is not optional, it’s the trillion-dollar onchain catalyst.
My p0? Ensuring all ecosystem pieces snap into place for seamless confidential onchain journeys. 2 months in and i can say i have never been more locked in! LFG
