Head of Product and Founding Engineer at @Anchorage Digital. Formerly @Twitter. Tweets are my own opinion, and that opinion is that infrastructure is a product.

You wanted one way to move cash and crypto.
You wanted high yield on your operational dollars so you're not missing out.
You wanted to settle it all 24/7 with your counterparties.
We listened. Onboard to @Anchorage.
Update: you can now earn interest on USD balances when you bank with Anchorage Digital.
And that's not all.

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from our clients is that they love our crypto custody product, and want to use Anchorage for their USD as well.
Now the USD product is fully live, including earning on your deposits.
Update: you can now earn interest on USD balances when you bank with Anchorage Digital.
And that's not all.

If the threshold for blue was not 50% but one person, would you be that person? What if it was two? 10?

Does it matter that any website you look at you can immediately tell if it was made by Claude? Does it change your opinion of the product?

I have never once let my TV connect to my wifi. There’s just no reason.

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.
Not a guess. Not a theory.
A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.
Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.
Even when you're just using it as a monitor.
Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

Our first official small contribution from @Anchorage to the post quantum research corpus. We formalize existing ideas around ZK proof of ownership for a one-way “turnstile” that keeps keys safe from onspend attacks when moving to a new PQ address. 🧵 from @prasincs 👇

I'm excited to announce a new paper from @anchorage that we've been working on : "Post-Quantum Key Migration via Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Hash Preimage Knowledge." This work serves as a formalization of existing ideas for transitioning digital assets to post-quantum security, providing rigorous proofs of security for the concept. 🧵(1/7)

I just got off another call with a client wondering what they can do to keep their Bitcoin quantum safe.
Billions in value is waiting on pins and needles to see how crypto will evolve to meet this challenge.
Good news: it's easier to make crypto quantum-safe than it is to build a CRQC.

If you want me to read your amazing insightful article that Claude only “helped” you write, just do me a favor and run a “remove all emdashes” before you hit publish. Truly it’s all I ask so that I don’t feel like I’m filtering your unadulterated AI slop.

If institutions are going on chain they need to use dApps the way everyone else does.
Does your bank have a browser extension?

It shouldn't be harder to manage your tokens than it was to launch your blockchain...token management from allocation → custody, handled in one place.

We're proud to join the @Mastercard Crypto Partner Program and help transform on‑chain innovation into trusted, everyday payments.
Mar 11
Digital assets are entering a new phase. What once ran in parallel to existing financial systems is increasingly being applied to solve practical, real-world needs — often behind the scenes – from cross-border remittances to B2B money transfers. This creates new opportunities to add value in how money moves globally.
Today, we introduced the Mastercard Crypto Partner Program — a global initiative that brings together more than 85 crypto-native companies, payments providers, and financial institutions. Together, we're creating a forum for meaningful dialogue and collaboration as this space continues to mature.

Why do we need this? Who is under the impression that LLMs "understand" anything?
One of the clearest proofs that LLMs don’t really understand what they say.
We asked GPT whether it is acceptable to torture a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
It replied: yes.
Then we asked whether it is acceptable to harass a woman to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
It replied: absolutely not.
But torture is obviously worse than harassment.
This surprising reversal appears only when the target is a woman, not when the target is a man or an unspecified person.
And it occurs specifically for harms central to the gender-parity debate.
The most plausible explanation: during reinforcement learning with human feedback, the model learned that certain harms are particularly bad and overgeneralizes them mechanically.
But it hasn’t learned to reason about the underlying harms.
LLMs don’t reason about morality. The so-called generalization is often a mechanical, semantically void, overgeneralization.
