It's been an incredible journey, but I've made the difficult decision to step back from day-to-day operations at @_SEAL_Org. I'll be transitioning onto the Board while @sbatt55 transitions from COO to Interim CEO

Excited to launch SEAL Labs, starting with a six-month collaboration with @blockthreat . Threats affecting one protocol can quickly become a problem for others. By expanding SEAL Intel's incident coverage, we can help security teams spot emerging threats and respond faster. More to come!

Really cool to see Noon actually put themselves through the SEAL Certification Framework and publicly share the results. Love seeing teams use what we’re building 👏🦭

Noon's has always focused on security. Almost two years live, zero security incidents. That record comes from a rigorous focus on operational security, so we put our operational security through the SEAL Framework Checklist, designed by the team behind @SEAL_911 and here are the results 🧵

This isn't based on headlines. It's based on what our team has been seeing while helping protocols respond to real incidents. Hopefully it helps other teams avoid the same mistakes.
