New CypherTalk podcast episode is live!
How is Monad using AI to improve protocol security?
@aviggiano, Senior Security Engineer at the @monad Foundation, joins @pumpkinGMI and @beyer_st to discuss AI-assisted bug triage, protocol fuzzing, invariant testing, and why humans still outperform AI in finding bugs.
Last month in Berlin, we co-hosted the Institutional and Policy Forum: Europe's Next Financial Layer.
The premise was simple but powerful: get regulators, institutions, and builders into one room for a full day, while European finance moves from policy framing to live deployment.
The institutional presence delivered, spanning policy, banking, and infrastructure, from the @EU_Commission and the @ethereumfndn to BaFin, @centrifuge, and more. The conversations ran from the quantum threat to stablecoins, MiCA 2, tokenisation, and the security questions underneath it all.
Thank you to our co-hosts @EuEthInstitute for building it with us. To our sponsors @bermudabayzk, @arbitrum, and @frankencoinzchf, for making the day possible.
And to everyone who showed up, asked hard questions, and stayed in the room, you set the bar. This won't be the last time.
New CypherTalk episode!
@HatforceSec joins @beyer_st and @pumpkinGMI to discuss AI-assisted security, autonomous exploit generation, smart contract auditing, and the future of blockchain defense.
Is AI making attackers stronger, or defenders faster?
Today we're open-sourcing TRACE: a threat modelling methodology built for how organisations actually operate now.
Most frameworks assume a clear perimeter, a wall with your assets safely behind it. For most teams, that world is gone.

What is the state of Web3 security?
We analysed four years of data: 23,818 audit findings, 218 exploits, $7.76B in losses.
49.6% of those losses came from attacks on keys, phishing, and supply chains, not smart contracts.
Huge thanks to @rektHQ for supplying the incident data.

If you missed the first Ethereum Security QF Project Showcase, it’s well worth the listen
Huge thanks to @thedaofund for hosting and to everyone building critical security infrastructure for Ethereum.
@pumpkinGMI represented CypherTalk podcast and shared our mission: making cybersecurity, smart contract security, privacy, and cryptography more accessible to the Ethereum ecosystem.
We believe a more educated community is a safer community.
@jbaylina shared a clear take on what a true full-stack privacy future looks like:
Privacy first. Compliance second.
“The base layer should be fully private… compliance is something you build on top.”
From private state to selective disclosure, this is the stack we should be designing for.
EthCC Cannes 🇫🇷
What a week at #EthCC in Cannes.
We brought together an incredible group of builders, researchers & ecosystem leaders for our Infinite Privacy event and one thing was clear:
blockchain is growing up, institutions are here to stay, and privacy is a core enabler.
Fake job offers on LinkedIn are targeting developers with “high-paying” part-time roles that include malicious coding assignments.
One of our team members was recently targeted, here’s what happened and how to stay safe.
New CypherTalk podcast episode is live!
Matilda Backendal joins us to break down:
🔐 Password manager security flaws
🔐 End-to-end encryption vulnerabilities
🔐 Why user-chosen passwords are still a major risk
“Crypto is all around us in daily life.”
@griffgreen of @Giveth joins CypherTalk podcast:
The DAO hack might be the strangest event in crypto history.
• Funds were recovered
• ETH holders got ETC airdrops
• The Ethereum Foundation sustained itself
• Even the attacker profited
Almost everyone won.
@griffgreen of @Giveth joins CypherTalk podcast to revisit the DAO hack, one of the most defining moments in Ethereum history.
• 14% of all ETH at risk
• 4% stolen by an attacker
• White hats racing to save the rest
This led to the Ethereum hard fork
@jphfritsche will be moderating an institutional panel at ▲ Secret Agents
With: @monerium@ethereum@StatusL2@fhenix@bermudabayzk
Exploring how institutions move onchain, from privacy + payments to real-world adoption.
Part of a morning session on the future of commerce: AI, stablecoins & private infrastructure.
On April 1 (9:00–12:00 CEST)

@griffgreen, founder of @Giveth joins CypherTalk podcast to discuss how builders can plug into Ethereum security:
🔹 Join the curated Ethereum Security Group
🔹 Access a high-signal Telegram (top 200 experts)
🔹 Apply to one of the largest Quadratic Funding rounds ever ($1M+ matching pool)
Gain visibility, feedback, and support for your security tools.
@griffgreen of @Giveth joins CypherTalk to discuss why security is a public goodand one of the hardest problems to fund in crypto.
From lessons of the DAO hack to new models like quadratic funding and @thedaofund, this conversation explores how Ethereum can better coordinate and sustainably fund security.

Episode 5 of CypherTalk podcast is live🎙️
On CypherTalk podcast (Ep. 5: TheDAO Security Fund with Griff Green), @griffgreen joins @beyer_st and @pumpkinGMI to reflect on the DAO hack, the evolution of Ethereum security, and why funding security is still a systemic challenge.
This ties directly to @thedaofund’s first Security Fund round, a major step toward community-driven security funding.
