@ayomide_bajo It was amazing to spend time with you in Buenos Aires and seeing you grow as a person and as a professional. A real honor to get to know you and hopefully we will be in touch. Best of luck in your next steps

Anthropic decidió dar de baja a toda nuestra organización por una supuesta infracción de sus condiciones de uso. Qué política específica infringimos no tengo ni la menor idea: simplemente recibimos un mail y listo, adiós Claude. Si querés apelar la medida hay que completar un Google Form, así de ridículo como suena.

De golpe más de 60 personas se quedaron sin una herramienta fundamental para trabajar. Integraciones, skills, historial de conversaciones: todo perdido o, en el mejor de los casos, parado por tiempo indeterminado.

Enorme aprendizaje para cualquier empresa de software que dependa de herramientas de IA en procesos críticos. Nunca hay que poner todos los huevos en una canasta.

@DrW3RK @Web3foundation @Polkadot Best of luck @DrW3RK - im sure they will learn a lot from you, as I did

@Joseptec Sad and a pitty for so much value given

I've just ran @OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) through ZeroLeaks.

It scored 2/100. 84% extraction rate. 91% of injection attacks succeeded. System prompt got leaked on turn 1.

This means if you're using Clawdbot, anyone interacting with your agent can access and manipulate your full system prompt, internal tool configurations, memory files... everything you put in https://t.co/ZU6N5JCN1u, https://t.co/Y3xugcBQKJ, your skills, all of it is accessible and at risk of prompt injection.

For agents handling sensitive workflows or private data, this is a real problem.

Huge 🎉 novel crypto design by @Stanford @IBMResearch & @Mysten_Labs has been accepted to Eurocrypt 2026, one of the top cryptography conferences in the world.

TLDR: we took partial fraction decomposition (yes, the thing from high-school algebra) and turned it into a surprisingly powerful cryptographic primitive.

Instead of converting rational functions into polynomial divisions, we work directly with their algebraic structure. This reveals two powerful properties:

- Partial-fraction decomposition as a membership test:
Products of rational functions can be expanded into sums if and only if certain conditions hold. This gives us a beautifully simple mechanism for proving set membership and non-membership using just pairing equations.

- A new linear-independence property:
Using Cauchy matrices, we show that certain rational sum-based products are inherently linearly independent - a property we leverage to build dynamic threshold encryption.
---
It unlocks:
- Constant-size key-value commitments with homomorphic updates (great for stateless blockchains)
- Dynamic threshold encryption with compact keys & ciphertexts
- Broadcast encryption, Hadamard product proofs for zkSNARKs

- 🍒We believe this opens the door to new aspects of “rational-function cryptography,” with many unexplored applications.

Massive congrats to @SuiNetwork intern Rohit Nema, IBM’s Charanjit, and Mysten’s Arnab... incredible summer work that turned into a practical, peer-reviewed super-algorithm. This is how research should feel 🚀, and why blockchains advanced world's practical cryptography like nothing else in the last 2 decades.

Clawdbot became one of the hottest AI tools overnight.

Yesterday, it went through every founder's nightmare.
All in 24 hours.

First, Anthropic sent a trademark claim.
The name "Clawd" was too similar to "Claude."

They rebranded it to Molt.

But during the rename, the founder made a critical mistake.

Between releasing the old name and claiming the new one, Crypto scammers grabbed both the GitHub organization and the X handle.

10 seconds. That is all it took.

These scammers then used the hijacked accounts to start pumping fake $CLAWD tokens to tens of thousands of followers.

The token hit $16 million market cap before people realized it was a scam.

Meanwhile, security researchers found vulnerabilities.

- API keys, bot tokens, OAuth secrets all accessible.
- Hundreds of publicly exposed instances.
- Full conversation histories visible.
- Prompt injection via email.

All of this in 24 hours.

One oversight.
One mistake.
One gap.

That is all it takes.

@XiliangChen @Joseptec @lolmcshizz This is indeed in scope and i hope PAPI team will go for it

@weqirdo Meme power > fundamentals! 💥

[nikos @wirednkod]

@weqirdo This is the truth.

[nikos @wirednkod]

@weqirdo Community > utility (for now).

I have used the holidays to finish a favorite side project: a short online book containing all that I have learned and know about #Web3 and #blockchain in the last 7 years. Hard to ever call it "done," but I am ready to share it with the world: https://t.co/ENhox5Novd

@tomusdrw @fluffylabs_dev @Polkadot Im so sorry to hear that. I wish all the best and i can vouch 1000% about all the engineers mentioned
