Lead protocol engineer @KAIO_xyz | All thoughts are mine and live in metaverse.

I’m not a regular poster on X but maybe this year is my chance to fix this.

I’m working on few of ideas I thought would be appropriate to share here.

@smartestxyz @Uniswap @CurveFinance @Balancer @HyperliquidX This is one of rare quality materials I came across in the space. Very much needed

It is one of the famous cases of adverse selection in economics. Sometimes the most selective plans attracts the most unwanted customers.

It is well described in "Risky Business" by Eivan, Finkelstein, and Fisman

This man paid $250,000 in 1987 for an unlimited first class pass with American Airlines.

He flew over 10,000 times, reportedly costing them $21 million… so in 2008 they terminated his pass for “misuse.”

I often get tired from typing small and repetitive prompts to #ClaudeCode. So I asked it to create a free tool where I can transcribe my voice and save to clipboard:

Runs locally using sox and OpenAI whisperer.

They took the best from Polkadot, ZK Rollups and Solana, and packed into a single chain.
What new limitations did they introduce?

Let’s see how this ages

@ravikiran_16 I'd argue that juniors should stay away from LLMs for the first 6-12 months to learn the basics of coding and system design in production. Similar, how you learn addition at school before using calculator in college.

1) My thoughts on agentic coding (or vibe coding):

Having played with Claude Code for a while I can confidently say that software engineering is safe. We are not doomed. But 👇

[Gherman @skyman_one]

5) Being software engineer has always meant to be agile and adjusted to new tech (unless you work with Fortran). We are lucky to witness another transformation in the field.

Don't fight it, embrace it. The rest is history.

[Gherman @skyman_one]

4) If I speculate, all software engineers will evolve into technical product managers - managing AI agents. Collecting business requirements, translating them into tech specs and prompt instructions - coding in natural language.

@tsunamiii0 These are focused on smart contract vulnerabilities. I am interested in actual project hacks like BalancerV2 and Bunni. The real hacks are often more sophisticated and involve a combination of exploits

[Gherman @skyman_one]

It is surprising to me that with all the defi hacks there are no publicly available datasets to perform statistical analysis.

We have to have better intelligence tools than X posts.

@ChShersh And these 4-5 options have been perfected by Michelin-stared Rust chefs in a sanitised kitchen.

Brief brain dumps go on X, while more in-depth thoughts will get proper treatment at https://t.co/MBoRFh5h3S

Let’s see how this goes.

[KAIO Foundation @KAIOFndn]

We’re excited to integrate @RiscZero's ZK technology into Libre, enabling compliance without compromising privacy.

This marks a significant step toward secure, verifiable, and regulatory-aligned on-chain finance.
