Say goodbye to the old ways of bridging chains! 🚀
ZecretPipe is here to let Starknet and Zcash chat like besties—transferring data, not just tokens. Privacy meets versatility in a cross-chain convo!

#StarkNet#Zcash@Starknet@Starknet_ZH@Zcash
I am programming on @Zcash Zypherpunk Hackathon with @Starknet track. This hackathon doen't even have any place to shows all of development resources. WTF.
Very irrational that it's too hard to make a POC in hackathon in 20 days w/out any useful resources.
Zcash is too hard to integrate by other chains' developer because tool for Zcash testnet/faucet, RPC, wallet is very lack. I must use very low level RPC call in cli to perform a demo on Zcash side of app. But StarkNet side is good. The resources are useful and easy to find.
As a @StarkNet lover, I published lots of tech articles about SN on Medium, and gave some tech talks on EthCC and ETHTaipei.
Today I tried registering Argent’s debit card and saw the STRK cashback program. It made me realize how optimistic I once was… now I’m not so sure haha.
Just wrapped up an insightful session exploring the challenges and nuances of implementing ERC-4337 on L2.
Here's a standout quote from the talk—what's your take on these complexities?
#ETHtaipei#Layer2
User experience is at the heart of blockchain adoption, and wallet infrastructure and chain abstraction are leading the way in making Web3 more seamless, secure, and accessible.
In this wave of ETH Taipei speaker announcements, meet four experts pioneering next-generation wallet solutions and chain abstraction frameworks that are redefining how we interact with Ethereum and beyond.
Nic (@NICLin619) – imToken Labs
Current AA wallets bundle complex validation logic with asset storage, limiting flexibility and security. Nic, a researcher and blockchain developer at @imTokenOfficial , introduces Validation Centric Design, a new approach that enables faster development iterations while giving users greater wallet interoperability.
His talk, "Validation Centric Design: Agile and Safe Development for Devs, an Interchangeable AA Wallet for Users," explores how this model improves AA architecture and reduces vendor lock-in.
Alfred Lu (@murmurlu) – imToken Labs
ERC-4337 enables Account Abstraction, but implementing it across Layer 2 networks is far from straightforward. Variations in protocol design, fee structures, key management, and contract accessibility introduce significant challenges.
As a blockchain developer at @imTokenOfficial researching AA and Layer 2 solutions, Alfred Lu will explore why ERC-4337 isn't as simple on L2s, covering issues like ownership transfer, multi-chain accounts, gas fee mechanisms, and infrastructure differences.
Nam Chu Hoai (@nambrot) – Hyperlane
As Ethereum scales through rollups and L2s, the ecosystem faces growing fragmentation across liquidity, tooling, and settlement layers. Intents have emerged as a powerful abstraction to simplify user experience.
Nam Chu Hoai, CTO of @hyperlane , introduces the Open Intents Framework, a public good initiative to make cross-chain intents interoperable and composable. His talk, "Unlocking the Power of Intents: Building Composable and Open Infrastructure for Ethereum" explores how shared standards and open infrastructure can unify Ethereum’s multi-domain future.
Eda AKTURK (@edatweets_) – Hyperlane
In a fragmented blockchain ecosystem, interoperability is key to building seamless cross-chain experiences. Eda Akturk, Developer Advocate at @hyperlane , is focused on making cross-chain development more accessible through education and tooling.
Her talk, "Intro to Cross-chain Messaging & Launching your ERC-20 Token Bridge with Hyperlane," offers a hands-on look at the cross-chain messaging landscape and how developers can use Hyperlane Warp Routes to launch custom ERC-20 token bridges.
From wallets to intent-based infrastructure, these speakers are building the tools that make Web3 more seamless, secure, and user-friendly. Whether it's simplifying cross-chain development or rethinking wallet architecture, their work is shaping the next generation of Ethereum user experience.
More speakers are on the way—stay tuned as we continue unveiling the builders pushing Ethereum forward.

If you want to understand what happens to funds after they’re stolen by North Korea/Lazarus Group, the Chainalysis 2022 report is great
Step 1: Swap any ERC20s (like stETH) into ETH
Step 2: Swap any ETH into BTC
Step 3: Cash out BTC to cash (Chinese Renminbi) using Asian exchanges
This process can take years. They are in no hurry.
In 2022, it was noted how North Korea was still sitting on $55 worth of funds from hacks that happened six years earlier (2016).
