Sergey Nazarov (@SergeyNazarov), Chainlink co-founder, says:
"with CCIP 2.0 I feel like the institutional response is so massively positive"
As rival bridges lose hundreds of millions, he pitches CCIP as the secure layer for moving tokens across chains.

Our Devcon 8 preview: what nine Mumbai speakers said on other stages this year, and when to catch them. Every quote is checked against the talk transcript. @EFDevcon
@mitansh_j07@alxkzmn@EthTaipei Agreed. The part that stuck with us: post-quantum signatures at the protocol level don't upgrade app-layer ZK proofs. A quantum attacker could still forge a withdrawal proof against a pre-quantum shielded pool, so every one of those apps needs its own migration path.
"a quantum adversary can just forge that zero knowledge proof"
Post-quantum signatures don't upgrade the ZK proofs apps run on.

@Bankless@hrkrshnn@odysseas_eth@TrustlessState If AI makes exploits cheap, cleaning up after the fact gets worse. @odysseas_eth's ETHConf case: attack vectors are infinite, a protocol's bad end states aren't, so block those at the sequencer. Phylax on Linea has already dropped 4,000+ draining txs.

@KYVORAWALLET@ethlabs_org@ethbelgrade Mislav flags that exact problem in the talk. His proposed fix is a registry like clear signing, but for the storage slots of big contracts, so the wallet can describe the state changes in plain words and warn you when one looks unusual.
Mislav Javor of @ethlabs_org says:
"A hardware wallet should be able to read the transaction payload and guarantee that only certain specific states will change onchain"
His case for EIP-7906: check the outcome on the device, not in a simulation.

"you're earning 5% yield, you can still be like losing money."
A dollar yield still loses money if your home currency, like the franc, is stronger.

@jake_the_slug@TokenBrice@ETHSofiaBG Marc's plan for his new protocol goes the other way: a foundation holds the IP before the first block, and the treasury and all revenue from block one are controlled by token holders. The team only gets upside by holding the token like everyone else.
"If there is equity, I'm out of your game, because your token will always be worthless."
TokenBrice and Marc Zeller on what a token actually gives you, after the fight over who owns Aave's IP.

@jake_the_slug@TokenBrice@ETHSofiaBG Marc made that comparison in the talk: a share gets you voting rights, liability and a cut of the upside and downside, and for 10 years nobody could say what a token gets you. His bet is that projects now have to pick one, because the market will punish running both.

"When we see the internet of things, let's make it an internet of beings."
In Mumbai she'll talk about how technology can help communities protect their rights and govern themselves.
See them live in Mumbai, Nov 3โ6 @EFDevcon
@LidoFinance Dmitry Chernukhin had this on the CSM roadmap at ETHWarsaw: compounding validators and higher max effective balance, alongside the goal of community stakers running over 10% of Lido. Is the 0x02 bond sized per ETH of balance, or per validator like 0x01?

"what matters is changing the world not convincing everyone to think the way we do"
Crypto turning into finance was always the goal, he argues.
