I've been building Confer: private AI chat where your conversations are end-to-end encrypted so that only you can access them. It's still new, but I've been using it every day and beta testing it with friends. Let me know what's missing! confer.to/blog/2025/12/confe…

Another testament to why Sui has one of the best white hat hacking security teams in the world, helping the whole blockchain industry and beyond. Our Chief Hacking Officer @JohnNaulty is a legend, he was part of the research team behind the Milk Sad Vulnerability detection media.ccc.de/v/38c3-dude-whe… and the most crazy stuff??? He launched the Church of Cryptography to teach crypto to anyone eager to learn! events.ccc.de/congress/2024/… About Milk Sad; here is the full details that affected crypto users, milksad.info/disclosure.html, I know that people like @billatnapier will be amazed how the heck crypto lib devs missed that. I ❤️working with John, this time he helped an amazing team to identify a class of vulnerabilities that exposed over a billion dollars worth of cryptocurrency to anyone willing to 'crunch the numbers'. The fatal flaw? Not enough chaos,💥 Same time - same “random” wallet! Unbelievable. A reminder that John is the “soul” behind Sui’s internet-less transactions and Mysten’s AI BugDar auto audit tool as well, @soorajs and @LoganJastremski you should interview John if you didn’t already.

“2025 will be an explosive year for AI agents on chain” by @JohnNaulty, our BugDar AI and internet-less transactions lead (super smart individual — UC Berkeley alumni, ex-Coinbase, ex-Meta, ex-BitGo, ex NeurotechX / OpenBCI etc etc). Sui launched a Telegram channel dedicated to #AI devs on @SuiNetwork

ZK proving is entering a new high-performance era! Check out our latest blog post: irreducible.com/posts/the-ne… Here we explain why applying high-performance compute to ZKP is crucial for success of the web3 ecosystem. We take a historical walk through some of the most impactful and successful IT sectors and correlate their adoption trajectory with the state of today's ZKP ecosystem. We translate these historical trends in performance and cost into a roadmap for HPZKP. We predict that proof systems will: 1. Be inherently more parallel to tackle the most computationally intensive phases of proof generation. 2. Become faster and cheaper by using DMA-based hardware accelerators to overcome CPU bottlenecks. 3. In the long term, move towards application-specific Systems-on-Chip, which allow for reprogramming to support frequent protocol changes and are likely to embed CPU cores with ZK-friendly instruction set architectures.

Update for @Mysten_Labs & @SuiNetwork: we officially have a small AI/ML research group. We'll conduct both research & launch novel #MachineLearning + #blockchain + #crypto dapps and primitives. This is strategic & it already resulted in a cool AI service thanks to @JohnNaulty!

The MIDL.dev endpoints service is not affected by the security announcement recently published by @LabosNomades . After this announcement, we have taken additional measures to ensure that our Tezos RPC service remains available.
⚠️ Security announcement for Octez RPC nodes & public-facing infra operators: Our investigations confirm a DoS vulnerability in public RPC nodes. It does not compromise the safety nor the liveness of Tezos Mainnet. See the report and recommendations 👇 forum.tezosagora.org/t/secur…

Had a really good conversation with Vitalik about Privacy Pools. I was embarrassed that I had failed to understand a couple of things in the paper but he was gracious about it. youtu.be/52DlSLx0_lY?si=4c4O… Thanks to Paul Brigner (Pretty Good Policy podcast) and Josh Swihart! ⤵️

Victoria Amelina was one of the best writers in Ukraine. She was also a brave lady stopping her personal work to document war crimes. She just died, after the terrorist attack on #Kramatorsk pizzeria. Now, and for ever, she is a hero - in the heart of all friends of #Ukraine.
