ZachXBT on TG just said all hardware wallets are garbage and using a separate iPhone is safer..
i agree with the main lesson.. but a separate iPhone alone still leaves you with one device and one seed as the single point of failure.
for serious funds, this is the exact setup i would recommend:
1) Create 3 completely fresh signer wallets
- signer 1: dedicated iPhone
- signer 2: separate phone or hardware wallet
- signer 3: backup device stored somewhere else
never use your everyday wallet as a signer.
2) Lock down the dedicated iPhone
- no SIM
- no email, Telegram or social apps
- no random browsing
- install only the official wallet app
- use a strong passcode and Face ID
- enable Stolen Device Protection
- use it only when you need to sign
write the recovery phrase on paper or steel and store it offline.
never screenshot it, save it in Notes, upload it to iCloud or type it into any website.
3) Create a 2-of-3 Safe multisig
manually visit https://t.co/IGT5JzXeF3, choose the correct network and add the 3 public wallet addresses as signers.
set the threshold to 2 out of 3.
this means any transaction needs approval from 2 separate devices before funds can move..
you only add the public addresses. Safe will never need your seed phrases or private keys..
4) Test everything first
send a very small amount to the Safe.
then try sending it back by approving the transaction from 2 different signers.
only move serious funds after you know the entire setup and recovery process works.
5) Move the remaining funds in batches
don’t transfer your whole portfolio in one transaction.
send a small batch, confirm it arrived on the correct network and then continue.
6) Treat the Safe like a vault
don’t use it for random mints, airdrops or unknown dApps.
use a separate spending wallet for daily activity and keep only the amount you can afford to lose there.
before approving anything, verify the network, token, amount and receiving address on both signer devices.

Police have released an image of a man they’re searching for following the incident at a park in Kooyong yesterday
“Bayside Sexual Offences and Child Abuse Investigation Team (SOCIT) are appealing for witnesses following an attempted sexual assault in Kooyong on 14 July.
Investigators have been told the two, a 67-year-old Toorak woman and a 39-year-old Glen Iris woman, were walking along Gardiners Creek with dogs near a reserve off Glenferrie Road around 11.30am.
An unknown male jumped out of a bush and put his arms around one of the women, but she managed to push him away.
He then tried to pull the other woman toward him, and she also managed to push him away.
The victims were walking eight dogs at the time; the dogs then chased the male into a nearby tunnel under the Monash Freeway even managing to tear off a piece of his clothing.
The man is perceived to be of African appearance wearing black tracksuit pants, white socks, slides, black and grey hooded top and was wearing a black face covering.
He was also carrying a large bright blue backpack.
Detectives have released a facial composite of a man they wish to speak to in relation to the incident.”

Everybody is asking me what @world_xyz is.
Excited to finally reveal:
World is an x402-based agentic modular, intent-centric settlement layer for trustless RWA tokenization that unifies cross-domain liquidity into a single composable state graph, delivering institutional-grade finality through a parallelized zkVM, restaked shared security, and MEV-internalizing solver with an omnichain, account-abstracted, permissionlessly verifiable execution environment
Lots of discussions around Aave so I want to clarify a few things:
• First off, there is NO WAY we’d sell AAVE at a 70% discount lol.
• 100% of Aave Protocol and GHO revenue goes to the $AAVE token. This was established in the Aave Will Win proposal.
• AWW also applies to all product revenue, including the Aave App, Aave Pro, and Swaps.
• No protocol or product revenue goes to Aave Labs, which is a service provider to the DAO responsible for building and growing Aave.
• Aave Labs owns an allocation of AAVE that multiple market participants have discussed purchasing, directly or indirectly, through deeper long-term partnerships. The article’s framing is inaccurate.
• Aave is currently generating $134M in annualized revenue, which goes to the Aave DAO.
• As defined in AWW, all intellectual property, including the Aave brand and any software built for Aave, belongs to $AAVE.
• We haven’t shared much on this yet, but the Aave team is designing Aavenomics 3.0, which includes a new automated and non-discretionary buyback mechanism. More on this later.
• Aave is building not only for the crypto TAM, but for the entire finance asset TAM, including RWAs.
• Everyone at Aave Labs and Aave DAO works for $AAVE.
We’ll be hosting our quarterly call in the next couple of weeks. Join us if you want to catch up on what we’ve been working on and get some cool updates on the Aave roadmap.
Announcing Ethlabs: a non-profit R&D lab for Ethereum and ETH
Our mission is to make Ethereum the settlement layer of the global economy.
The internet became global because shared protocols created a common language between networks. Private systems remained useful, but bounded. Finance is approaching a similar moment. As value, assets, and markets become digital, the world needs shared settlement infrastructure.
Ethereum is uniquely positioned to become that shared base layer, the neutral foundation on which users, institutions, and agents can transact without intermediation.
What we believe:
• We believe credible neutrality matters. Ten years of uptime and the lowest counterparty risk. Ground that cannot be pulled away by any one country, institution, company, or person.
• We believe ETH matters. The most valuable, programmable store of value. A decade of broad distribution, deep liquidity in onchain markets, and maximally trustless asset on Ethereum.
• We believe DeFi matters. Markets, liquidity, credit, exchange, and coordination, open to anyone.
• We believe adoption matters. Principles do not change the world until people benefit from them.
We sit between two worlds: real usage from the builders at the frontier, and the protocol that has to support it. We work with users, applications, wallets, L2s, infrastructure teams, institutions, ETH holders, core devs and researchers, then turn what they actually need into protocol work, shared standards, infrastructure, and shipped products.
Ethlabs is independent but Ethereum is a shared project. We are one node in a much larger network of stewards. This is the multi-node future.
We have spent the better part of the past decade contributing to Ethereum core research and development.
We are opinionated and transparent. We move with urgency, learn in public, and course-correct when we’re wrong.
We are building a lean, talent-dense team for people who want to do the most important work of their careers: [email protected]
Hello MULTI/DEX 🔥 Should DFINITY release the most powerful DeFi application the world has ever seen?
What's cool about it? Here are some factoids, the craziest at the end:
1. It runs on an ICP cloud engine (soon everyone can have one) and is 100% network resident and tamperproof.
2. It is genuinely multi-chain, with no bridging hassles for users (users can deposit straight into their accounts, and withdraw directly, from the native chains of tokens).
3. It is order book based, but also provides a traditional swap interface, which swaps arbitrary assets by routing across the underlying markets.
4. It supports both spot trading, and margin trading that lets traders go long and short with leverage.
5. It has an AMM (Automated Market Maker) that uses Internet Computer outcalls to determine outside prices, then delayed matching against AMM limit orders to prevent arbitrageurs draining liquidity, as can occur with traditional DEXs providing swaps.
6. The AMM maintains a unified liquidity vault, and doesn't need two liquidity pools for every trading pair, providing outstanding capital efficiency and liquidity compared with traditional DeFi systems.
7. Users can earn by depositing into the AMM Vault, and into an insurance pool that protects the vault from margin calls that fail to recover all capital (the insurance pool gets 5% of all liquidations).
8. MULTI/DEX runs on the decentralized Internet Computer network, and is 100% open source — unlike HyperLedger, say, which remains closed source, and has an single-purpose architecture closer to federated CEX hosted on a symmetric cluster of federated servers.
9. If we go ahead, we would propose that MULTI/DEX runs as part of the Internet Computer, in the sense it is controlled and updated by the NNS (The Internet Computer's Network Nervous System, the world's largest and most sophisticated DAO, which directly orchestrates and updates the network) providing unparalleled levels of autonomy, transparency, and security.
10.... and this is the BIG ONE... its backend is built using the latest Motoko language framework (soon to be released) that puts AI *inside* of its software. That means, in another seminal inventive step from DFINITY and Caffeine Labs technology teams, that AI can see, browse and query the realtime data inside the app/dapp's persistent memory and can create and execute ad hoc queries and update logic on-the-fly (subject to permissions). So, while for much of the time traders will be using the traditional UX shown in the pic, increasingly, they will be interacting with the exchange through AI chats that have the "Internet Computer Connector" MCP installed (soon to be released). On the one hand, traders will be able to use chat to ask for simple things, like current spot pricing and market depth, and the likely slippage on a spot market order, and for orders to be submitted, but on the other, for much more demanding things that require the AI to execute ad hoc functionality, such as "Look at my positions and margin pools, and rebalance them to give me more blended market exposure, while also adjusting for risks indicated by social media coverage of forthcoming market events, but wait for my approval of your plan before proceeding."
This is a lot to take in, so I'm aiming to get a new demo video out ASAP that will demonstrate what's possible with this AIware, which will include MULTI/DEX — should be about a week!!
Btw. for those wondering what might be the big picture beyond what I just described with MULTI/DEX: At DFINITY, we are in the process of transforming ourselves into an "agentic organization," where all our existing apps/SaaS is replaced by custom on-demand apps/SaaS running on cloud engines that are created and updated by AI. Of course, these on-demand apps/SaaS are being built using the new technology described that automatically puts AI inside and provides users with fluid functionality via chat. The totality of the apps/SaaS represents an enterprise "World Model," which incorporates as much of the enterprise's data as possible, enabling AI to perform incredibly powerful analyses and actions — when you see this is in action, you can't unsee what you saw, because it's clearly a huge leap beyond the status quo of today's tech, which is exactly what the Internet Computer project is about. This wraps up our new technology stack, created by leaning on unique aspects of "The Network is The Cloud" paradigm, and years of work, and what, together with cloud engines, will finally enable the Internet Computer to strike out into the massive mainstream cloud technology market.
It is humbling to consider that if we harness just 1 millionth of the Sun’s power for AI, that will be much more than a million times the intelligence of all of humanity
Claude Fable 5 was tested against Opus 4.8 on physics simulation tasks
Both models received the same prompts and were tasked with generating standalone HTML5 simulations without using third-party libraries:
→ Chaotic double pendulum
→ Galton board
→ Water in a rotating drum (WCSPH)
Generation costs:
• Fable 5 - $3.35, 68.7k tokens, 14 min 47 sec
• Opus 4.8 - $0.93, 38.9k tokens, 8 min 10 sec
Fable demonstrated its most notable advantage in the water simulation. The model created a more cohesive and stable fluid volume
Opus exhibited large gaps near the walls, with individual particles scattering across the scene, and the fluid itself was less stable

@Filasophical@ShibaInuHodler Out of curiosity, I acquired some ascii hash strings called “Bitcoin, Ethereum & Doge”. That’s it.
As I’ve said before, don’t bet the farm on crypto! True value is building products & providing services to your fellow human beings, not money in any form.
