Anyone who uses Claude code / OpenAI Codex / Google Jules extensively for Solidity or smart contract work?

I'd love to have a chat.

Record temperatures in NYC this week.

Record temperatures in Cannes next week.

God hates crypto people.

Insider threats are on the rise across organizations, both within and outside the crypto industry.

Time to think hard on who you are hiring, where they are based, and tighten up access controls.

We talk to a lot of founders, and the truly successful ones are often non-consensus and have ideas that are met with criticism here on crypto Twitter.

Every time you hear a lot of (unsuccessful) people here piling on someone. It's a sign that the opposite is true.

The next two years will accelerate crypto far beyond what has been done in the last 15 years.

What's happening right now is unreal. Get in or be left out forever.

Crypto doesn’t have a villain to rally against anymore.

So people keep trying to turn legitimate actors into villains instead.

Crypto has a data problem. So many places with the wrong data.

Funny how the most successful businesses in both crypto and AI are the same: token factories.

Humans yearn for the tokens.

“Browser Pay” should exist. Why doesn’t it?

Imagine a standardized browser popup that handles payments: one click to approve a credit‑card or stablecoin transaction.

Instead, the best option we have is a credit card autofill.

逸話的に言えば、ブラックハットはあなたのプロジェクトがTVL（または同等の指標）で1億ドルを超えると本気で注目し始めます。

これは特に非EVMチェーンに当てはまります。イーサリアムは多くのハッキングを耐え抜いてきたため、そのセキュリティ体制は時間とともに成熟しています。しかし、非EVMエコシステムは、まだその重要な閾値を超えていないために、しばしば誤った安全感を抱いています。

早く動いて物事を壊すのは問題ありません。しかし、リスクにさらされる価値が2500万ドルに達したら、偏執的になる時です。1億ドルに達すると、ブラックハットが確実に見ていることになります。

さらに追加のブラックハットの注意を引くことになります：

1. ローンチ時、低ハンギングバグを探している人々がいるとき（これらの話は公開されることはめったにありません）。

2. 統合中：開発者が探りを入れ、一人の悪意のある行為者が脆弱性を引き起こすのに十分です。

もし一つのアドバイスを提供できるとしたら：2500万ドルのマーク周辺であなたのセキュリティ体制を再考することです。特に早く動いたり、初期に怠った場合（スタートアップでは完全に普通で、恥じることではありません）。

I know a really cracked engineer who is looking for a co-founder. He's the real deal and can single-handedly ship a billion-dollar protocol.

An ideal person is business-savvy and customer-focused.

Every chain competes for who has the most users.

The only way to save crypto.

Crypto payments today are not business-friendly, even stablecoin payments.

Today, the pitch for stablecoin is a global, uniform interface with cheap fees. But it's absolutely a mess for tracking. Try talking to a finance person who has to deal with it.

Lots of bad takes on KYC on here today.

Nobody wants to force KYC on their users, but you have to do it to stay compliant. Seriously, who in their right mind wants to build an onboarding flow where you ask your user to pull up an ID and verify the face? The churn on that step is massive.

I once talked with a lawyer about the risks, and how they enforce it is scary, even if you had no intent to transact with a sanctioned individual.

Unless the policymakers change this, if you want to run a legitimate business, you must comply, even at the expense of additional customer friction or security concerns about data.

Many products today perform 'silent KYCs' to minimize onboarding dropoffs and trigger a full KYC as transaction values and risks increase (they know who you are with the limited data you give them, like phone numbers).

TLDR: you're barking at the wrong tree on KYC. The correct tree is the regulators.

DM me if you're a founder who will be in Toronto for @consensus2025.

DM me if you're going to be in Toronto for @consensus2025.

My hot take is that most crypto projects launch a token way too early.

So many great teams build incredible products only to re-architect everything around a token. Most do not think about growth, distribution or scale.

Ethereum can fix all its problems with one simple trick.

Ship one hardfork a day.

The next few weeks are looking like the most crucial time for crypto.

Who signed the first 7702 transaction?
