$2.2Bn were stolen last year. Could AI make our code safer and reduce hacks? I spent last week and tested various AI auditors. In this video I'll answer how to use them in prod? And could machines finally replace human auditors today? 2 AI auditor system: SavantChat & Nethermind AuditAgent. 8000 lines of code: @GearboxProtocol core contracts And 24hrs to reply... Could they found something after 7 audits and a few millions USD spent? Special thanks for @lekhovitsky , @igorgulamov , @balakhonoff, @tkstanczak and @nethermind . Stay tuned!

Yap early, yap only, yap often. @KaitoAI is connecting AI, attention and capital with Yaps. Just claimed my social card and I'm accumulating Yap points in real-time. Claim yours 👉 yaps.kaito.ai/referral/32770…

1. Tokens need investors for them to be worth >$0 2. Investors need to make money to stay in business 3. The only way a token makes an investor money is to go up in price, or pay a yield 4. The only way for a business to pay a sustainable yield is to produce free cash flow. 5. The only way for an asset to go up continuously is to improve its characteristics on a continuous basis. There's a ceiling for non-fundamentally driven characteristic improvement (i.e. token ponzinomics). Caveat: The case for moneyness (BTC) would suggest that an asset can go up forever without having utility. It's worth considering that money is network effect driven and therefore can improve upon itself purely due to adoption. This is a winner take most-all game that no other token should consider playing. High conviction the above is true, and the only conclusion for long-term oriented token issuers is to focus on the long-term fundamental prospects of the underlying protocol/business. Those that choose to play games are signaling to the market that their asset shouldn't be taken seriously.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve read: Allocate life based on what you can only do now Don’t fall for the “Steve Jobs released the iPhone when he was 52, you got time!” survivorship bias cope psyops bs Your window to take risk, lose it all, and rebuild without being an alcoholic, is shorter than you think Unless born into wealth, your prime risk taking run is <10 years You have 10 years to escape purgatory and you’re probably halfway through that Every minute you waste is borrowed from your future Move / build / ship / learn with urgency

tl;dr on our 7 years building @NUTSFinance, key learnings and our vision for the future. For the past 7 years, NUTS Finance has been dedicated to building the nuts and bolts of on-chain financial applications, and our commitment to this vision remains unwavering. We’ve experienced highlights, lowlights but most importantly we learned many valuable lessons that help us become more resilient builders. NUTS Platform (2018-2019): Our initial middleware solution for smart contract-based financial applications. Though it didn’t launch, we learned valuable lessons about market demand and the importance of being crypto-native. @ACoconutDAO (2019-2021): Our BTC aggregation protocol reached a peak TVL of $70M. We learned crucial lessons in protocol liquidity management and token economics. @TapioFinance & @TaigaProtocol (2021-present): Taiga currently operates on Acala with $4.24M TVL in DOT liquidity. Tapio is repositioned to serve LSTs and LRTs on Ethereum and L2 ecosystem, pending for launch. We learned the importance of agility and adaptability when an unforeseen event happens to a wider ecosystem. @PikeFinance (2023-present): Our latest project faced challenges, including two security exploits. We’ve fully repaid all affected users and are working towards a relaunch with a redesigned and improved architecture. We learned hard lessons on balancing trade-offs between shipping speed and technical debt. Our vision remains clear: to drive progression in decentralized finance by building innovative on-chain financial primitives. In order to achieve this, we are focused on the following core functions and guiding principles: 1/ Talent acquisition and team building 2/ Protocol and product development 3/ Business partnerships and community building 4/ Token economics and distribution @_ladder_chaos_ and I are excited about the future of DeFi and we are confident in our team’s ability to push the boundaries of on-chain capital efficiency. Thank you for your continued support as we work towards realizing our shared vision. Read the full journey recollection here: medium.com/nuts-foundation/n…

We just hosted our first Town Hall, sharing key updates on our progress, financial history, and vision for the future. If you missed the call yesterday, check out this tl;dr for the highlights: 🧵 (1/9)

Hi @PikeFinance Community, Understand that there are some questions around the movement of funds from the wallets used for presale. I want to take this opportunity to share some context. USDC contributions were received on Base, Optimism, Arbitrum and Ethereum network. And USDT contributions were received on Optimism, Arbitrum and Ethereum network. Upon the completion of presale, contributions were aggregated and transferred to a few wallets for the following reasons: 1/ A part of the reserve was transferred to Binance to purchase assets (ETH, ARB, OP) to repay users as part of the restitution plan. Restitution repayment was completed on 5/13 and can be traced back here: x.com/PikeFinance/status/178… 2/ A portion of the reserve was used to repay users who deposited USDC on Pike Beta but did not withdraw due to high gas fees. 3/ A portion of the reserve was transferred to Coinbase and Binance for security purpose. At the time, it is likely that our wallets and addresses are being targeted by malicious actors, therefore we decided to move a portion of the funds to two of the most reputable and robust centralized exchanges. 4/A portion of the reserve was transferred to Aave for yield optimization. A portion of the reserve remains in team Multisig to fund operational expenses. As suggested in my previous note, we have begun the buyback of Pike tokens and using them to add liquidity back to the LP pool. This effort will be carried out continuously into the following weeks. A portion of the funds have been set aside for this purpose. Regarding to the integrity of our team and past projects. Since 2018, we have been transparent and vocal about NUTS Finance development lab and its underlying product suit (Pike being one of them). The vision of NUTS Finance is to create the nuts and bolts to enable an on-chain financial ecosystem, and I am confident to say we have not deviated from this vision and still very much committed. Even at the idea inception stage of Pike, we were explicit about the on-going products with our partners, investors and new hires. Was every product launched a home run success? No, but each product has demonstrated traction to a certain extent. Did we make mistakes along the way? Absolutely and we try not to make the same mistake twice. Did we learn from our mistakes? Most definitely, and this is what gives us the confidence to rebuild Pike. To all the crypto investigators out there who are willing to lend a helping hand, I kindly ask for your support to trace the fund flow and the hacker. We hired the ZeroShadow team and they have done a great job tracing and working alongside us with law enforcement. But any additional help is welcomed and we are willing to work with you to demonstrate our integrity. We are reviewing every single question and criticism in our Discord and would like to invite you to join our AMA starting at 3pm UTC today. Thank you
