3,000+ firms sold crypto in Europe before MiCA. About 325 hold a licence today. The ones left are shipping.
We documented 21 live architectures, end to end: the exact article, who runs it, which vendors held up, and the one layer no vendor sells.

Run your whole approval flow on a testnet without a single signer holding testnet tokens.
Sponsored transactions are now live on testnets in Protofire Multisig.
Protofire Multisig pays the gas on transactions, so the people approving don’t have to go hunting for faucet drips first. @ethereum Sepolia, @base Sepolia, and Hoodi testnet are live.

Onchain finance is moving forward. But what will it take to make it work at scale?
Stablecoin payments, tokenized deposits, asset liquidity, and AI agents. Here are the key takeaways from October's TOKEN2049, Money20/20, and MERGE Madrid.

What keeps a bank blockchain pilot running forever?
Sometimes it’s missing evidence. Sometimes nobody wants to own the product.

On the panel:
Ayush Bherwani, Senior DevRel Engineer, MetaMask @MetaMaskBuild

Hola Madrid! 🇪🇸
Our Head of Growth, Ale Losa, is at @mmerge_io Madrid until tomorrow to talk about the infrastructure behind institutional onchain finance: stablecoins, tokenization and payments.
If you’re a bank, CASP, fintech or asset manager in town and want to compare notes on building and running these systems, get in touch.
Your treasury holds one token. The payment is due in another.
Protofire Multisig handles that inside the app. The account exchanges what it holds for what it owes.
Same approvals as any other transaction it makes.
@lifiprotocol does the searching. It checks many exchanges and picks the best route for each trade.
Tomorrow, the other word: funds that have to reach a different network.

AI agents are getting wallets. Are we ready to trust them with money?
Tomorrow on The Protocol Roundtable:
• Darren Gray, Head of Ecosystem, @QuickswapDEX
• David Minarsch, Founding Member, @autonolas, Co-Founder & CEO, @valoryag
• Ayush Bherwani, Senior DevRel Engineer, @MetaMask
• Don Johnson, Chef, @virtuals_io
Hosted by Andrei Yurkevich, Co-Founder, @protofire
Keys, x402, spending limits & who pays when agents get it wrong.
🗓 Wed 28 Oct, 3 PM UTC

Tokenized IP puts a catalogue in a wallet.
The songs, the characters, the film rights.
Assets like these need more than single-key custody.
@soneium is on Protofire Multisig, with threshold-based approvals for every transfer:
anyone on a team can propose a transaction, the signers approve, and transfers execute only once the threshold is reached.
Permissioned RWAs: 59% of tokenized market cap, 0.2% of spot volume (Pantera, Sept 2026).
RWA dOTC keeps offers live against a market reference feed, non-custodial until execution, with atomic settlement on BNB Smart Chain.
If your tokenized asset has no secondary market, book a call with our team.
GIWA Sepolia, the network from @Official_Upbit, is now on Protofire Multisig, starting with its test network 👋
Good to have you here early, @GIWA_by_Upbit.
A testnet is where a team can try features, movements, and work out its approvals before funds and assets are at stake.

"Be comfortable that things will break."
Emma Landriault on what production on public chains asks of a bank: teams ready to fix what goes wrong, and monitoring for risks they aren't used to watching.
Blueprint BP-18 maps out that response under DORA: protofire.io/blueprints/risk…
Multisig signers, meet plain English.
“Call depositETH on WrappedTokenGatewayV3” now reads “Supply on AAVE”.
When your wallet transaction pops out, no more guessing, no decoding skills required.
The second and third signer finally get to read what the first one proposes.
Built on ERC-7730, an evolving Draft standard. Our implementation is in an early phase (beta) and will keep improving as the spec matures.
Treat it as an extra check -> your judgement still signs.
Live on Ethereum today.

Oasis is now on Protofire Multisig.
Teams on Oasis already had an interface of their own for signing off the payments they make.
Oasis now sits in the same app as the other networks we run. A team working across several of them moves from one to another without leaving the app it has open. Same signers, same rules.
Built and maintained by Dew Point Labs, before today and after it. @OasisProtocol

A stablecoin-funded card authorises against a wallet the programme doesn’t hold.
Every tap needs a live on-chain balance check, and every chargeback has to reconcile against that wallet.

Andrei Yurkevich, Protofire’s Co-Founder, is heading to @money2020 USA in Las Vegas next week.
We’ve spent the past 10 years building onchain infrastructure. Andrei will be there to share what we’ve learned and hear how teams across banking and payments are approaching stablecoins and tokenization.
If you’re attending, say hello 👋
📍 Money20/20 USA | Las Vegas

Congrats to the @safe team on launching Safenet!
Every Safe user can now get a second opinion on a transaction from independent security teams before signing.
Simple idea, big impact for self-custody.
SAFE holders can also stake to Safenet validators at safenet-staking.protofire.io
🔊 Introducing Safenet Aegis: the first production-ready and fee-generating release of Safenet, secured by $SAFE.
Safenet is a decentralized security protocol for self-custody.
💲 A user submits a transaction to Safenet for a small fee.
👓 Sentinels @OpenCover, @BlockSecTeam, @candidelabs, and @IntentGuard check every transaction and are accountable for their verdicts.
✅ Validators @gnosis_, @greenfield_cap, @SafeLabs_, and Core Contributors attest the verdict onchain.
💂 A formally verified Safenet Guard can enforce the attestation, back on the user @safe , defending against threats.
Safenet is live on @ethereum @arbitrum and @gnosischain and is coming soon to @SafeLabs_ multisigs.
