"I remember reading this exact bug 18 months ago in a @code4rena contest. I cannot, for the life of me find it again." Auditors don't have a search problem. they have a recall problem. Scar fixes that. R@10=0.901 over 232k smart contracts at 114ms. live demo at scarai.xyz.

LI.​FI Intents is live, yes finally! This is a huge huge moment for LI.​FI First things first, big congrats to @jimchang @stabiliseret and the Intents & Solver squad for shipping LI.​FIIntents architecturally, it's hands down the best solution in the market - open, modular, and customizable in every way, built alongside the great teams that contributed to the Open Intents Framework every part of the system is well thought out and built with the different stakeholders in mind over the last few weeks I've personally talked to all the solver teams that are live filling order flow on LI.​FI Intents, and all of them were excited to see how the system plays out - with different elements in place like the reputational system that makes competition fairer between solvers without compromising on reliability or execution quality beyond excited to see how the system performs at scale, with billions in order flow moving through Secondly, LI.​FI Intents is an integral part of LI.​FI's product suite as we push to get more institutions, neobanks and fintech companies to build products onchain the three use cases we're focused on come from customer demand we've heard across current and future clients Stablecoin payments Access to real-world assets Access to compliant liquidity All three are critical for putting crypto into the hands of millions of users, without the UX feeling like 'crypto' at all - they don't need to know the primitives our industry has built can stand on their own merits - technologically superior to anything the world of finance has seen, and more capital efficient than anything traditional rails offer today We don't even need to go into the benefits of blockchain rails like transparency and everything being public - those are the icing on the cake What we've built is better money technology And with LI.​FI Intents, we now have a product our team can push to embed crypto into every financial product in the world Big things ahead, excited to be locked in and building with this team. PS: the Intents launch will forever be remembered internally for this epic shoot we all got to work on together in Crete!
Introducing LI.​FI Intents. Infrastructure for apps, wallets, and neobanks to: • Enable stablecoin payments • Access real-world assets • Tap into compliant onchain liquidity Built for enterprises bringing financial products onchain.

Last 5hrs sprint and human.tech failures wallahi😭
Instead of celebrating this I'm resolving issues of mates on-boarding to web3. Everything is broken all talks about being *Decentralized* but your entry starts with a centralized exchange giving away your credentials. Imagine getting your first usdt without giving credentials or getting scammed.

Last day to support @ScarRetreival at @Giveth Every donation goes to open source harness that the security auditing needs. qf.giveth.io/project/scar:-a…

Building the first end-to-end smart contract audit stack where every layer is grounded in retrieval at @ScarRetreival The keystone is SCAR — a sparse code retriever I built that hits R@10 = 0.901 retrieving from a 232k-contract corpus in 114ms. BM25 collapses to 0.308 at that scale. What that unlocks across the stack: Layer 1 (next) — agent harness calls into the tool layer Layer 2 (built) — SCAR reranker context-aware MCP, exposed to any agent (Claude/GPT/Qwen) over MCP Layer 3 (training data built, RL env next) — GRPO with verifiable rewards: the retriever grades the model Layer 4 (next) — Qwen3.6-27B, SFT → GRPO against SCAR The novel bit: SAE-LoRA — low-rank adaptation of Sparse Autoencoder encoder weights. 4.6M params (0.3% of the backbone) turns reconstruction features into retrieval-discriminative ones. 37.6× over the frozen SAE baseline. Weights, training pairs, eval set all open-source.

UX is still so much broken in web3 or I'm not updated with current meta? Ex-Classmates got excited that I'm launching my research into a product and they wanna donate for the cause but cex->p2p->wallet->verify->donate. Onchain ramping is so much broken with absurd quotes.

Never got the opportunity to work with C4. I mailed them for using their data for @ScarRetreival but never got the revert back. And I don't think thats a case now left, bummer.

After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to wind down @code4rena. This community has meant a great deal to everyone who has been part of building it, and sharing this news is not easy.

Smart contract security gets stronger when past findings are easy to reuse. @ScarRetreival by @LifeHodlr is an open-source AI retrieval system that helps auditors and AI tools quickly surface relevant vulnerability precedents from 232,000 real Ethereum contracts.

Won $400 at the @lifiprotocol DeFi Mullet Hackathon — developer track. Adding $100 of my own. The full $500 → @Giveth Ethereum Security QF round. qf.giveth.io/qf/ethereum-sec… $10 to each of 50 projects securing this ecosystem. Thanks @PhilippZentner @brucexu_eth @kenny_io @arjunnchand

Less “someone should fund open-source security” More “I just did” 🫡 QF math: 100 people donating $10 each beats one whale dropping $500. 500$ just got 12,920$ matching to 50 projects! $1M pool. 134 projects. ~60 hours left. If you’ve been waiting on this round… it’s now. qf.giveth.io/qf/ethereum-sec…

For full transparency — I'm also a project in this round. @ScarRetreival — sparse retriever for smart contract audits. R@10 = 0.901 on 232K Ethereum contracts. Apache 2.0. The 50 donations stand alone. This is about the ecosystem 🛡️ x.com/LifeHodlr/status/20524… Technical report: x.com/ScarRetreival/status/2…

This is important. When you donate, do it to multiple projects. That makes capital allocation more effective and that makes your donation more IMPACTFUL, because it has a unique fingerprint, therefore it gives more signal, therefore it counts more.
May 10
A little over 4 days left in the Ethereum Security QF round 🛡️ Quick reminder: matching works best when it reflects real community support. Giveth uses COCM to help reward unique donation patterns and reduce sybil influence, so the strongest signal comes from genuine donors supporting projects they actually care about. Explore the round, support multiple projects, and help keep funding fair 👇 qf.giveth.io/qf/ethereum-sec…

There are 134 projects GREAT projects in this QF round... which makes it REALLY hard to pick your faves. So @giveth made a cheat sheet for your LLM! It will update every 2 hours: qf.giveth.io/llms.txt

been heads-down on this for 5 months. The SCAR technical report is out on the project handle. R@10 = 0.90 over 232k Ethereum contracts (BM25 collapses to 0.31). 47× faster latency. SAE-LoRA, 4.6M added params. Paper soon on Arxiv! Full ablations EVMBench validation in the thread. @ScarRetreival 👇
TECHNICAL REPORT — TL;DR Every AI audit tool launching in 2026 has the same hidden weakness. They reason about code without grounding in actual audit precedent. No retrieval substrate underneath. SCAR is that substrate. Retrieving over 232,000 Ethereum smart contracts: BM25 collapses. R@10 = 0.31 SCAR holds. R@10 = 0.90 Same hardware SCAR is 47× faster (114ms vs 5,433ms). The missing layer underneath every audit AI👇

SCAR is in @Giveth Ethereum Security QF round, closing May 15. funded by TheDAO Security Fund — repurposing 75k ETH from the 2016 dao hack into ethereum security work. QF means a $5 donation from 100 different wallets gets matched more than a $500 donation from one whale. small donations are how this stays independent and on track for the Q3 API ship. qf.giveth.io/project/scar:-a…

Question for auditors specifically — what's your current workflow for finding similar past findings when reviewing a new protocol? manual search through reports? Slither rules? something ML-based? really curious where the bottleneck actually is, that's the next thing i want to close.
