Last week at @EthCC, I had the opportunity to try the @Ledger Recovery Key introduced by its CTO @P3b7_ few days ago !

And honestly I am sold ! Here is why 👇

Reminder : The idea of the recovery key is to be able to store your private key on a pin-protected (very) small local plastic card containing a secure element ! Three missed PIN-tentatives and your key is erased forever ❌

To be fair, I was skeptical of the idea before I had the chance to try it and understand its potential. It felt like another useless gadget to increase Ledger revenue.

So what are the advantages of such a device that made me change my mind ?

- it allows you to easily store a full seed without getting worried of people reading/stealing your words. No need to split your seed in 2/3/4 pieces (for this purpose at least).

- it allows you to give family members access to your seed without giving them DIRECT access to it. The PIN can be given by third party such as a notary after your death, a physical safe (or any other creative idea). It can be very helpful when planning for your succession.

- it's very small, thin and discrete. I initially thought it would be the size of a credit card. But it's much smaller and convenient to store/hide.

- it's pretty resistant ! Way more than a ledger device (obviously) as there is no electronics per say

- you can export/import the seed in a few seconds on any NFC Ledger device.

- It should be pretty cheap ! While the price hasn't been announced yet by @Ledger, it should be pretty inexpensive as from my discussion with some employees, Ledger could offer it for free for Stax/Flex buyers. They also plan to sell it in bulk (for example by 3).

Of course, all the advantages listed above can be replicated by creative techniques at home, but for most users, this key will drastically simplify their seed storage user experience. Also bear in mind that's the device is COMPLEMENTARY to storing seed phrase on other supports (such as metal plates) as the life expectancy of the device should be 15/20 years.

To all Ledger haters out there, remember that NOBODY forces you to buy/use it. It's just nice to have another option.✅

Also most hate around Ledger and hardware wallets in general come from a confusion about the purpose of such objects: there are signing machine, not seed storing machine ! (See @hasufl post on the matter)

Let's wait for the official release and price announcement now ! Will keep you posted 🫡

A world first: a demonstration of AI running *on* blockchain as a smart contract 🧠⚡️

The Internet Computer is used – the world's first 3rd gen. blockchain #ICP. AI will become the beating heart of our web3, multi-chain world, and this is only my first demo.

Code will follow shortly. This is running on DFINITY's Internet Computer testnet, but you'll be able to take the code and run it on the public network as the NNS is expected to up the per-transaction instruction limit in the coming days.

Some important notes. The inference engine used has not been optimized, and we will show vastly greater efficiency in subsequent demos, where the AI runs even faster, and consumes less gas/cycles.

We will also propose to the NNS that smart contracts have access to SIMD instructions – which we have determined are deterministic – unlocking vastly more speed and efficiency.

Lastly, currently the actor smart contracts ICP hosts run inside a 32 bit environment, which limits their main memory to 4GB. Within the next couple of months, we expect the Internet Computer to move to a 64 bit environment, allowing smart contract memory limits to be raised much higher – allowing for models with far more parameters, and thus power, to be run.

Those of you who have followed my posts know that hardware optimization support is planned. Firstly this will involve WASM smart contracts shipping out matrices for processing by the CPUs on existing node machines (another advantage of the Internet Computer running on sovereign node hardware).

Secondly, we plan to propose a new public node machine specification, which node providers can build to, for use in subnets specialized for hosting AI smart contracts, in which each machine will incorporate several GPUs. Naturally, this will be packaged with other technological developments that ensure smart contract determinism.

This is part of our mission to enable powerful LLMs to run as smart contracts on the Internet Computer – in a forms that are tamperproof, unstoppable, and optionally autonomous (including under the exclusive control of DAOs).

Our vision: you will be able to have a chat with a smart contract. A smart contract will be able to coordinate your organization (see my earlier tweet about a "Delphi"). ICP smart contracts will be able to audit Ethereum smart contracts, kitemarking those without backdoors and reentrancy bugs. And smart contracts will be able to do KYC autonmously, matching faces to driving licenses, and more.

We will deliver new SDK enhancements, and work with partners, to turbocharge crypto AI developers.

Secure and unstoppable AI and third generation blockchain will be two sides of the same coin. Security and AI will be indivisible. AI models will be traded as NFTs. Thanks to Internet Computer's chain key (trustless multi-chain) capabilities, all blockchains will be able to leverage AI smart contracts.

The future is beyond exciting. Thanks for watching. Can't wait to give you more demos!
