Turns out you don't need to steal the private key if you can control what it signs. Really interesting breakdown of the EIP-7702 attack.
new paper just dropped 📄 "Fifty Shades of Nonce": a peer-reviewed* study of how @binance's wallet got adopted by a contract it never met. *reviewed by me

At times like this, crypto needs to work together to onboard the rest of the world to next gen payment infra. @0xPolygon @solana setting the example as usual
If you’d told me six years ago I’d be encouraging people to use Solana for payments, I probably would’ve started an argument with you 😂 Today, Polygon Open Money Stack supports Solana for end-to-end payments. Moving all money onchain was always going to take more than one chain. That’s why we’re making it easy for businesses to bring money in from a bank, place it in the right account, move stablecoins across chains, and pay it out however they want (whether that’s via bank account, Solana, or any other chain). @toly, @rajgokal and @solana team have built an incredible ecosystem. Excited for what we can do together.

crypto is never wrong, just early
Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

secure private state management is now available and open source, for institutional confidentiality, coordination, and compliance
To operate onchain, organizations need privacy and shared control, without handing over the keys. OpenZeppelin and @0xMiden designed Guardian to that end: the first non-custodial Private State Manager. Now live as Miden opens to its early partners. Read the story ↓ openzeppelin.com/customer-st…

Privacy has a default problem. Only ~29% of @Zcash supply sits in shielded pools (@zecstats_). The other ~71% is fully visible. Opt-in privacy means most coins are public, and the few private ones stand out. My read: privacy only works as the default, because then everyone is in the crowd. That's how we're building @joinbread on @0xMiden: balances private by default, no extra step. What would make you move your funds into a private wallet? 👇

Privacy has a UX problem. Shielded transactions are now ~60% of @Zcash activity by count, up from ~24% a year ago (@zecstats_). @RAILGUN_Project holds ~$110M but sees only a few hundred private txs a day on Ethereum. My read: demand for privacy is real. Usable products are what's missing. That's the bet behind @joinbread on @0xMiden: an everyday crypto wallet, private by default. What feature would you want in it? drop your comments below👇

Think buying an Index ETF but privately so that you don't leak alpha. @darwin_market is here for you
Replying to @0xMiden
@0xMiden Partner Mainnet is live. Proud to be among the first teams building on it. @darwin_market is bringing onchain index baskets to Miden. One token holds a whole crypto portfolio, rebalanced by the protocol, and your positions stay private.

A great UX matters so much for a blockchain wallet, Apps like @BasedOneX, @phantom, @Uniswap are leading examples of this statement. That's why we have spent extensive amount of time trying to create our own unique language and impression in designing the UI and UX, while making it intuitive and fun to use. We have spent extensive amount of time trying to create our own unique language and impression in designing the UI and UX The goal? Making blockchain accessible to everyday user for everyday finance. Shoutout to my colleague @aesopsolo who has been pushing this into reality!
quick one for Bread users, light or dark mode🤔

Miden Partner Mainnet is LIVE, and I just got access! 👀 @0xMiden has officially launched its Partner Mainnet, bringing practical onchain privacy to finance with real assets. Here is what you can explore right now: • Hold, send, and receive assets • Swap and bridge supported assets • Pay network fees in USDCx • Explore private multisig and wallet recovery features 🔗 Bridge: bridge.miden.xyz I received my mainnet access via email and completed the wallet setup. I also received 0.01 USDCx and bridged a small amount of USDC from Base to Miden Mainnet. The bridging experience was really smooth! There are still a few glitches that the team needs to fix, but overall, it is exciting to finally explore Miden Mainnet and experience its privacy features firsthand.
