Appreciate it, AMMs still have plenty of unsolved problems and researchers like you are a big reason they keep getting safer and better.

How are new security researchers learning and getting their name out there?
Previously you could participate in contests and get paid to learn from others while getting your name recognized..but with contests and bbps essentially dead due to AI spam submissions, how are new talent supposed to enter the space today?
Clearly this is the exact reason we will see a massive surge in black hats. I'm open to hearing ideas. Any solutions?

Couldn't be happier to welcome aboard @crypticdefense to kick off 2026!
It's clear that @crypticdefense has a knack for subtle & complex issues (especially in AMMs), and is a real team player who uplifts other SRs around him.
Proud to have you joining us as a Guardian.🫡
Starting the new year off strong! 💪🏼
Excited to announce I’ve officially joined @GuardianAudits as a full time Security Researcher.
With such a fantastic team, I am certain my growth here will be exponential.
I’ll let the bugs speak for themselves. 🔥

I'm travelling to Argentina for DevConnect + DSS soon
The dog was supposed to come, but the airline I'm flying with doesn't allow dogs onboard
So I sent him to a dog hotel that was recommended to me. I took him there for 1 day to adapt, so he'd already know the place before staying longer
He came back home with an eye hemorrhage. His eye was swollen, and the entire white part of the eye was blood red
The hotel says the vet check before checkout didn't notice anything, and nothing happened to him
I took him to my trusted vet immediately. She said it was certainly caused by a strong hit and could never go unnoticed by a professional
We are all heartbroken

this is 100% a user error with setting incorrect slippage and is of absolutely no concern for anyone who uses Uniswap/any other properly implemented swap interface. Had they set their slippage to even 15% (which is completely degen), the transaction would have simply reverted instead of executing at a 97.6% loss.
This dude is either a retard and has no idea wtf he's doing or MEV'd himself to launder funds. Given the history if his address my guess is the second.

Well deserved win for @crypticdefense! With a high-impact solo med (bypass of slippage in router) 👀

This take may be the end of me:
A lot of new people in the industry have no concept of “exit liquidity”. They don’t understand that for their token to make them rich, they must make others poor.
I feel like we need an ethics curriculum, but idk if people would care.
Thoughts?

Millions per month have been made on the QR Code scam.

Beware of a rising scam targeting blockchain and web3 developers with fake job offers.
Scammers lure with great opportunities, have you download code, and infect your system with malware hidden in the files.
