The next step in DeFi security isn't just protecting individual protocols, but understanding how risks spread across interconnected systems. 👍

Your protocol can be fine and you can still get hit.

This year's biggest exploit started on a bridge. The stolen tokens then landed as collateral on a lending market.

DeFi risk travels through dependencies. Know what your position depends on.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

💻 PCs had their operating system.
☁️ Cloud had its hyperscaler.
🧠 AI had its compute layer.
⛓️ Onchain finance has its oracle platform.

[Etherealize @Etherealize_io]

Brian Armstrong on the Clarity Act: ���I think it will unlock a lot of institutional capital that will flow to the space broadly”

“The Clarity Act is about much more than stablecoins and rewards. I think it will create a lot of opportunities for people to work on tokenization, clarity about what is a commodity versus a security, exchanges and what their roles are. DeFi has an important role to play here. Self-custodial wallets. There’s going to be lots of energy that comes out of it.”

“I think it’s going to be a little bit like when the GENIUS Act passed for stablecoins and we saw a couple hundred large companies in the U.S. come out in the subsequent months and announce integrations with stablecoins. This means that hopefully lots of companies, in a world post Clarity being passed, will come out and start to integrate crypto. They might use it to raise money on chain. They might use it to provide crypto services to their customers. I think it will just unlock a lot of institutional capital that will flow into the space broadly.”

“We think it’s going to be very additive. We want every company to be integrated into the crypto-enabled financial system, just like they use the internet, AI, or any other technology.”

[Ondo Finance @Ondo]

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.

Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated.

Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team.

We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

The most important innovation cycles often begin with changes in values before changes in markets 👍

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

Sent another 64 ETH to the Animal Welfare Fund.

I encourage others to think and act more in support of our non-human cousins too! The extreme suffering we're imposing on them in the billions is not something we talk about often, but it continues to be one of the larger blights on humanity.

And I'm getting optimistic that this century we can finally end it. Farming practices are improving, synthetic alternatives are improving.

Also, in my recent experience, good old low-tech vegetarian and vegan food has improved massively worldwide over the last ten years; I encourage anyone who has tried it long before and given up to take second look; there are far more healthier and tastier options today than the "pasta and salad" you would often get ten years ago.

[Arbitrum @arbitrum]

Excited to announce this evolution of Protocol, the @ethereumfndn teams stewarding, researching and developing the Ethereum protocol.

After our re-launch of Protocol in June last year, @TimBeiko, @ralexstokes and I are now passing the torch to our talented colleagues @corcoranwill @kevaundray and @fredrik0x. They are taking on the task of delivering on Scaling, UX and Hardness objectives, with the protocol strawmap in their pocket (https://t.co/m4HL1nQb5j).

It is also time to announce that I made the decision to leave the Ethereum Foundation, my home for the past 6.5 years ❤️
I am so grateful for this opportunity I had, to work with amazing individuals, on the most impactful project there is.

Looking back from when I started (here it is -> https://t.co/v1ray53NEj), it has been a wild ride from early EIP-1559 work, to the Merge, to MEV markets, to staking, finality, interoperability and UX; and from my beginnings in the Robust Incentives Group to co-leading Protocol for the past year.

Over this past year, our Protocol priorities, particularly our "Improve UX" work, shifted my attention to nearer-term questions. Throughout, I've been excited to take on a more product-centric view. Making Ethereum's unique features more available to users today is on my mind; so is participating in the plurality of ways that Ethereum gets built.

I'd love to hear from friends old and new about what excites them at the moment, and share where I'm at. Please reach out!
