It’s time for another ETH Belgrade Community Meetup! Join us on May 21 at the @TenderlyApp office to hear the amazing @definikola talk about managing risk in DeFi. confirmed.events/event/evt-y…

The takeaway that sticks with me from the workshop: cheap intelligence, expensive verification. And in B2B we need fast, accountable, and private at the same time. That's the actual problem we need to solve.

Why Belgrade? Amazing venue Overall infrastructure that can support that number of attendees and side events Easy to get visa (or no needed) Easy to travel to Free public transportation Great food A lot of cultural sites to be explored Strong Ethereum community Rakija.

100 people showed up to Belgrade's first @AnthropicAI @claudeai AI Builders meetup 🇷🇸 Hit capacity fast. Dozens still on the waitlist. Speakers: @lazartravica, @instantfinality, Uroš Petrović, Dragan Krstić The Balkans are building. 🧡 #Claude #AI #Belgrade

The wait is over — ETH Belgrade returns for its 4th edition 🎉 📅 26–27 August 2026, Sava Centar Every year we raise the bar — and this time will be no different. Take a look at last year’s aftermovie below and get ready for the best euro summer yet 🙌

First Claude AI Builders meetup in Belgrade 🇷🇸 📅 April 6 📍 AI Hub Belgrade by Startit Lightning talks, open mic demos, community building. All experience levels welcome. Bring your laptop, bring your curiosity. 🔗 luma.com/mxfosmsg

Privacy matters, a lot! Congrats to the team!

Crypto is dead. Privacy is too risky (yes, we heard it all, many times). Long live privacy in crypto. @0xCurvy won the second place and the special award from @fundraisingBC at @MoneyMotionXYZ, the biggest fintech conference in CEE, where 300 startups applied and 18 were selected to compete. A year ago, no one wanted to touch regulated crypto privacy. It was considered too risky. We pushed forward anyway, doubling down on Curvy when the whole web3 space was on its knees and 2025 was beating us up. A few months ago something shifted. As a friend from @FireblocksHQ put it in a single sentence - this space became a red ocean overnight. We were already there, building, shipping and iterating. To the whole team, our families and friends, and everyone who contributed - thank you for every storm we walked through together. This moment belongs to all of us. Crypto is the future of fintech. Regulated privacy is a must. We're in it. And we're just getting started.

Great team, fantastic product! Confidentialité par défaut.

Let's say you're building an app - maybe a DeFi protocol, an on-ramp, or a regulated exchange. You need KYC. So you integrate with a provider. Build the flow. Handle data storage. Manage encryption. Deal with compliance. Then your users want to use another app. They do it all over again. Different provider. Different flow. Data siloed in another database. Right now, copies of your users' passports could be sitting on 23 different company servers. One hack, and identities get stolen. Worse? Every app rebuilds the same infrastructure. Every user re-verifies for every app. No composability. Just walled gardens. Here's what just changed with the Billions Network and @idOS_network partnership: Users verify ONCE. That credential works across every app you build. User opens your app → "Verify with existing credential?" → Approves → Done. 2 seconds. Your app receives a ZK proof: "✓ Verified. Over 18. Not from restricted jurisdiction." No documents uploaded. No data stored on your servers. If you get hacked? There's nothing to steal. How it works: Your app never sees the passport, birthday, or address. Just gets cryptographic proof: "Yes, this person meets your requirements." Credentials encrypted to user's personal key. Apps request ZK proofs or selective disclosure. No raw data ever leaves user control. This is composability for identity: 🤓Building a compliant DeFi protocol? Access verified users without storing KYC data. 🤓Building an on-ramp? Users already verified - instant onboarding. 🤓Building a regulated exchange? Programmatic access to data only when compliance requires it. The system is open. Users own credentials. You get what you need without the liability. Why this matters: For 30 years, people tried to build this. Hundreds of millions spent. Zero adoption. 😮Together with @idOS_network, we built the first system that actually works. 65,000 people already using it. Live. Right now. What this unlocks: ✓ Composable identity - build on open standards (W3C Verifiable Credentials) ✓ User-owned data - verify what you need without storage liability ✓ Interoperability - one verification across all apps ✓ Compliance-ready - hybrid model for ZK proofs programmatic access ✓ No vendor lock-in - open system ⬇️ Bottom line: Right now: every app rebuilds verification. Users re-verify everywhere. Data siloed. One hack away from breach. With this: users verify once. You access proofs. No raw data stored. Nothing to hack. Identity becomes a composable primitive - like money legos, but for credentials. ⚠️ The internet’s missing identity infrastructure layer just got fixed. Most people don't know it yet. You do. Time to build with Billions Network and @idOS_network - and help save the internet in the age of not-yet-identified AI.

Imagine you go to a store and you want to buy candy. The shopkeeper knows you're a real kid because they can see you standing right there. Now imagine you send a robot to buy candy for you. The shopkeeper looks at the robot and thinks: wait, who sent this? Is this robot allowed to buy candy? What if someone else's robot pretends to be yours and steals your candy money? That's basically what's happening with AI right now. Companies like Visa let people buy things all over the world. But now, smart computer robots (AI agents) want to buy things too. Shop around, compare prices, even pay for stuff. Visa looked at this and said: nope, not yet. Because they have no way to check if the robot is real, who it belongs to, or if it's allowed to spend that money. The problem is that all the rules we have for checking identity - showing your ID, scanning your face, typing your password - only work for humans. Robots can't do any of that. Worse, bad robots can actually copy and fake human identities really well. So Evin McMullen @provenauthority, Billions Network co-founder and CEO, says we need a new kind of ID system. One where you can prove something is true without showing all your private stuff. Like proving you're tall enough for a ride without telling anyone your exact height. That's called zero-knowledge proof. And for the robots specifically, we need something called KYA - Know Your Agent. It's like giving every robot its own ID card that says: this is who I am, this is what I'm allowed to do, and this is the human responsible for me. Until we build that, the robot economy can't really get going. Here is Evin’s Thought Leader article at Silicon Valleys Journal siliconvalleysjournal.com/20…

We are continuing with webinar sessions. Join me and @tripathi_nityam to learn more on how to create a human-verified login alternative. Apply here forms.gle/RWkENNdz6PHndRDW9 Spots limited!

I'm hosting a webinar Login with Billions, human‑verified DID login that just works (privacy‑first, no explicit PII storage). Mon Jan 26, 14:00 UTC: live demo early docs for devs. Register: forms.gle/8Z7kjtXiLcWwKuocA 👉 t.me/ hFBaO6fIbWg4MGRk @billions_ntwk

bro we are literally working on it come through Jan 26 and we’ll show you

Accountability requires identity. Human-to-Agent & Agent-to-Agent interactions and the future of stablecoins as machine money are impossible at scale without Agent Identity. Zero knowledge proofs are the unlock to enable this vision and save the internet in the age of AI.
