We keep forgetting the privacy lessons of web2.
Your browser checks if the domain you're on is on a known-scam list without revealing it to anyone else.
Your wallet should check the clear signing manifest of the contract you're using without revealing it to anyone else.
Yes.
I'd add that @Walletbeat should aim to not pick winners in the name-registry game. Currently it kingmakes ENS, but now that serious + more CROPSy competitors have risen, could be less selective.
e.g. attribute can be "support 2 or more from the following list: ENS, wei, ..."
@BautiDeFi@EFDevcon “Lots of young people interested in tech […] devs, auditors” – this was my experience too running the @walletbeat booth for all four days!
Did you know there’s a security ranking for wallets?
Security firm @coinspect scores them across 4 categories:
- dApp permissions
- intent verification
- threat prevention
- physical access
@MetaMask currently leads, followed by @OneKeyHQ and @ambire
What do you think of the ranking?
Major update to stewards.eth 💜
A refreshed UI, dark and light modes and more ways to explore the people and projects contributing to @ethereum.
Now featuring 30 profiles, with clearer categories for infrastructure, core development, DeFi, transparency, community and institutions.
New additions include:
@walletbeat@ethbeat_org@defiscan_info@ethereuminsti@eth_systems@eth_limo@signinethereum@ethpandaops@ethcoordinate@ECHInstitute@anticapture
Plus a dedicated profile highlighting Ethereum’s client teams and their essential work.
An independent community project, running on ENS + IPFS. Researched, designed and built solo by me.
Think someone is missing? There’s now a contribution section where you can suggest a project, share sources or send corrections.
If you find it useful and want to support my work, there’s a little space for that too 🤝.

@0xMattmatt shared how to gather evidence using the proper references, verify the evidence is correct, and contribute to the broader Ethereum community, by inputting wallet data to Walletbeat.
Anyone in the Ethereum community can contribute data to Walletbeat to help users understand how CROPS maps to wallets.
At this @EFDevcon workshop, @0xmattmatt guided participants through contributing one verified wallet attribute end to end.
Wallets are how users use and experience Ethereum.
It doesn’t matter how CROPS-y the protocol layer is: no CROPS in wallets means no CROPS for users.
In this talk, @polymutex introduced Walletbeat as a public good that aims to shine a light on CROPS’ last mile: the access layer.
@0xMattmatt Walletbeat is a rating system for Ethereum wallets.
A place where wallets compete on CROPS values.
Looking forward to see you today in @EFDevcon 🌸
The last day of @EFDevcon is here!
Today, we’re hosting two lightning talks and a workshop. You can also find us at the Walletbeat booth.
Here’s what’s on today 👇
@0xMattmatt@0xMattmatt will share why privacy, self-sovereignty, transparency and ecosystem alignment matter for wallet security, and how getting one wrong can put users at risk.
