In DeFi, a bad upgrade is a loss of funds. In identity, a bad upgrade costs you the user. Soulbound tokens don't transfer. They don't get rewritten. One bad init or upgrade path = permanent damage. Last month we shipped an audit of @sumvin 's soulbound identity contracts. 5 focused passes. ~290 lines of Solidity. 9 findings (0 Critical, 1 High). Low risk overall. Full regression test suite delivered with the report. If you're building identity, attestation, or any issuer-controlled protocol: don't ship blind. Get an audit that ships runnable tests, not just a PDF. Full breakdown in the images.

I’m re-reading The Psychology of Money and one chapter keeps jumping out at me: Room for Error. It’s a lesson I’ve learned the painful way. More than once. I’ve never been particularly good at building room for error into my plans. Whether it was money, business, health, or even my own energy levels, I often assumed things would go roughly to plan. They rarely do. What I’ve realised is that you need to build your margin far earlier than you think you need it. Because when things are going wrong, that’s the worst possible time to start creating a safety net. You won’t want to. You’ll be stressed, emotional, tired, distracted, or scrambling to solve the immediate problem. The reason you build room for error isn’t because bad things are guaranteed to happen. It’s because if they do, you’re prepared. When something unexpected happens, instead of panic, it’s simply: “That’s annoying, but I planned for this.” That shift is powerful. Not just financially, but psychologically. You don’t lose days, weeks, or months trying to recover from something you never accounted for. You don’t burn unnecessary energy trying to put out fires. You keep moving. What’s interesting is that room for error applies to almost everything. Money is the obvious one. But health is the same. Leaving yourself enough energy to recover. Enough time to rest. Enough capacity to handle a bad week without everything falling apart. Business is no different. Cash reserves. Extra time on projects. Not operating permanently at 100% capacity. The people building interesting things often focus on optimisation. But increasingly I think longevity matters more. If nothing goes wrong, great. You’ve built a buffer that can be reinvested elsewhere. More opportunities. More freedom. More experiences. More growth. But if something does go wrong, and eventually something will, you’ve already paid the insurance premium. Having room for error isn’t pessimism. It’s one of the most practical forms of optimism there is.

Massive supply chain attack live right now. Big credit to @AikidoSecurity for spotting IronWorm: 30 npm packages from AsteroidDAO dropping a malicious Rust binary on preinstall. Steals 86 env vars, AWS/GCP/Vault/AI keys, drains Exodus wallets, then hides with eBPF rootkit Tor. This is exactly why Web3 security isn’t one thing. It’s everything, all the time.

So proud of all the contributors. With enough voices maybe we can make London the heart of crypto

Great article and commentary Worth a read.

Using the latest tools and agents to attack your own project is the the new necessary step in security. You really want to do this before someone else does.

Your post made me curious and was something simply new. Thanks for highlighting it

Just read @asen_sec's article on AI replacing auditors, and while I agree with a lot of what he says I wonder if AI agents are actually getting better at auditing web3 code? Or are we just seeing smarter prompting and agent workflows around models that haven’t meaningfully improved? The moment the human steering sucks, the audit quality collapses pretty significantly. It is definitely worth a read - x.com/asen_sec/status/205388…

Most Digital Asset startups fail for the same reason every startup fails: they ignore the fundamentals. Tokens do not replace unit economics, and community does not replace product market fit. The technology is new; the rules of business are not. @bockus, Co-Founder of @Fidesiumapp, opened our accelerator with a lecture on what every founder needs to internalise before building a business: friction debt in the product, runway management through a bear, and how to identify a North Star Metric instead of chasing vanity numbers.
