I'm joining @FirepanHQ as one-third of the founding team, here’s why: Since 2020, my faith in DeFi’s core “code is law” philosophy has smashed hard against the reality of increasingly sophisticated hacks and exploits. As AI coding tools whoosh past the singularity, the attack surface has been growing faster than our ability to defend it. Last year this hit too close to home. Before deploying a boilerplate rewards claim contract for a personal project (too small to justify a six-figure audit,) I asked several security-minded colleagues to review my code before launch. Only one person caught a glaring access control vulnerability left toggled incorrectly from a testnet deployment, and he found it in minutes thanks to AI security tooling he’d been building. Many conversations later, we’re proud to release this to builders as FirePan. FirePan is an AI-native security platform that monitors your smart contracts continuously. Every push. Every pull request. Every new attack vector uncovered sharpens our capability for defense. As AI accelerates the threat landscape exponentially, our best defense is getting advanced AI security tooling into the hands of builders. We’ll be publishing much more research on this subject in coming weeks, including details on critical vulnerabilities we’ve found for early partners. If you’re shipping anything onchain, try running a free surface scan on your repo at firepan.com and share your feedback with us.

definite proof that claude fable subagents silently switch the model to opus even if you have the fallback disabled. absolutely disgraceful treatment of paying customers from anthropic.

some people would rather keep this quiet but yvUSD looping on Flex is still offering frontier APYs fixed rates, infinite term, instant liquidity available liquidity: - ~380k USDC for >23% APY - ~800k USDC for >15% APY 🏜️🏜️🏜️

I added $CRV to my bio. I guess I'm officially a $CRV advocate now. Let's revisit this in 12 months.

Fable... more like fumble. My normal workflow is build small feature, audit feature, fix bugs in audit, repeat. Fable is completely unusable if you can't even audit your own code. Hey @AnthropicAI this makes AI use less safe, not more. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Fiendishly clever! @ClaudeAI's absolute worst feature "breaking" all morning long, which also conveniently chews up more tokens and boosts their bottom line. Juice for the IPO?

While I wrote this article the old fashioned way, I asked @AnthropicAI's Fable 5 to vibe code whatever it wanted. It enthusiastically shipped Slingshot☄️, a "gravity golf" web game coded in about 20 minutes, and it's actually quite fun! github.com/zcor/slingshot

Curve's latest AMM sailed through audits, but Firepan's AI spotted a critical vulnerability before any treasure was lost. 🔗 x.com/firepanhq/status/20643… 💬 leviathannews.xyz/redirect/2… 🕵️ @CurveCap

Thanks to @newmichwill for collaborating on this latest report! @CurveFinance is one of the most heavily audited protocols in crypto history. Firepan’s AI still found a critical vulnerability in their newest AMM before mainnet. ✅ No funds lost. ✅ Patched before deployment. This is the future of smart contract security: continuous, AI-native verification operating faster than attackers can evolve.

Seeing a lot of fears about Claude Mythos allegedly releasing today or tomorrow and "everything getting hacked". I suspect that we should not directly translate its success in detecting bugs in browsers and Linux Kernel to smart contracts. The software where Mythos found something is containing tens of millions lines of code and simply cannot fit the context. Smart contracts are really different. They usually have a few thousand lines of code, and both humans and "usual" AI perfectly fit that code in context and can reason well about it. So I suspect we might not be having a wave of DeFi code hacks, but we may see a lot of things in OpSec getting hacked (looking like multisig keys compromises) and supply chain attacks on frontend dependencies, and those are way less dangerous in true DeFi

how Flex maximizes borrower fun and lender protection 1. partial liquidations 2. dynamic liquidation fees 3. atomic bad debt resolution (1) Trove goes above max LTV (eg 90%) --> it can only be liquidated back to the safe LTV (e.g. 80%) (2) liquidation fees scale with how unhealthy a Trove is --> (a) borrowers don't overpay for liquidation services and (b) riskier Troves get cleared first (3) bad debt is socialized atomically --> no bank-run dynamic where faster lenders exit first and leave larger bag for everyone else know your protection
