I'll be checking this out 🫡🫡

@cyfrin This is awesome!

As of today, BattleChain testnet is LIVE. The pre-mainnet, post-testnet blockchain, where whitehats legally attack your smart contracts before they reach production. Deploy. Get attacked. Ship stronger. Here's why we built it, what it is, and how you can get involved 🧵

@cyfrin This is siiiickk!!

@cyfrin 👀👀👀👀

We are announcing something big today

@PatrickAlphaC 🤣🤣🤣

"Introducing 'AI XXXX'" "It's our AI powered tool to help reduce AI slop of industry Y. We've raised $10B from VCs who are about to see the bubble pop"

@pashov Ryan Gosling needs to chill

POV: Web3 Security in 2026

@0x15_eth This is a very good point.

Condolences to Balancer, but the deeper issue is this... You can’t build a safer ecosystem by assuming people will choose the moral path. In practice, the default path is often the immoral one, because doing harm is easier than doing good. You can’t control human nature. You can control incentives. And as long as the incentive to be a blackhat is greater than the incentive to be a whitehat, hacks like this will keep happening. Protocols need to do more than say “do the right thing.” They need to make doing the "right thing" easier We need faster triage, faster payouts, faster and clearer communication, and a better experience overall for whitehats. Imho security is more of incentive design.

@palmettoarmory Ak k is best k.

It's AK Monday! We're on the range with the PSAK 102 in 556. This is a great option for folks wanting to shoot the AK platform without having to look for 7.62x39 or 545 ammo. What are your thoughts on 556 AKs? Let us know in the comments!

@PatrickAlphaC @PatrickAlphaC is my long lost (much smarter than me) brother

I’m a simple man. I like to make smart contracts more secure, and lift weights. And that’s it.

Some states are forming committees to explore blockchain. Utah is passing bills, testifying before committees, and partnering with industry. Different stage.

@SLC_BTC_Meetup Ooo this should be cool!

Past few years I've been 50/50 of my time on Linux vs Windows. But in the past few weeks it's been majority Linux. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing....🤔🤔 #linux

Very interesting perspective

@Bitmay 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Sometimes I still use Google dorking methods to find Solidity patterns that often lead to vulnerabilities. If enough of you are interested, I can share the workflow.

Today, the Foundation’s Board released the EF Mandate. This document, which was first intended for EF members, reaffirms the promise of Ethereum, and the role of EF within this ecosystem.

1/ The Mandate clearly states what must be protected: EF will, above all else, remain focused on an Ethereum that is censorship resistant, open source, private, and secure (CROPS), in the service of user self-sovereignty, resistant to extraction and with seamless UX. These are conditions that make Ethereum worth building, using, and defending. Read the full blog here: blog.ethereum.org/2026/03/13/ef-…

@Behi_Sec Legend.

Google just rewarded me with a $12,000 bounty😃 Now, I'm closer to my $1m goal. Tip: Always validate your assumptions, as there are always exceptions.

Fallacy - AI tools are finding Critical Severity Vulnerabilities in audits, contests & bug bounties. Humans that built & run these tools are the ones who find the vulnerabilities. Come do this, plus so much more with Pashov Audit Group - we're all about security. Retweet pls🫡

A developer found one bug and got paid $10M. No team. No startup. Just skill. I went through 20+ platforms so you don't have to. Here are 8 Web3 bug bounty programs where developers are actually earning $10K–$1M+: 1.) Immunefi (@immunefi) Biggest Web3 bounty platform. Period. $180M+ paid out to whitehats so far. Real payouts: - $10M for a bug in Wormhole - $6M for a bug in Aurora - $2.2M for a bug in Polygon Start here if you're serious about Web3 security. immunefi.com/bug-bounty 2.) HackenProof (@HackenProof) 200+ active Web3 programs live right now. $15.7M+ paid out. Rewards in stablecoins or fiat. Best for developers just getting into security. hackenproof.com/programs 3.) Sherlock (@sherlockdefi) Every bug submission reviewed by senior auditors before it reaches the protocol team. Paid up to $500K USDC for single vulnerabilities. sherlock.xyz/solutions/bug-… 4.) Code4rena (@code4rena) Audit competitions not just bounties. You and other researchers hunt bugs in the same codebase. Best findings get paid most. Fastest way to build a public security track record. code4rena.com 5.) Hats Finance (@HatsFinance) Fully on-chain bug bounty protocol. Find a bug → get paid directly. No middleman. No waiting. hats.finance 6.) Hashlock (@Hashlock_) Web3-focused. Covers Solidity, Rust, and Move. Faster triage and payouts than most platforms. hashlock.com/bug-bounty 7.) Bugcrowd (@Bugcrowd) Has hosted programs for Coinbase and MakerDAO. 500K+ researchers. Serious programs. Don't sleep on this one. bugcrowd.com 8.) HackerOne (@Hacker0x01) One of the most trusted platforms globally. Strong triage. Fast feedback. Real payouts. hackerone.com Honest take: The market is down right now. Tokens are bleeding. Jobs are competitive. But protocols still have millions locked in contracts. They still need people to find the bugs. This is one of the few ways in Web3 where your income doesn't depend on the market. If you can code you can learn this. The next $10M bug is sitting somewhere right now. Someone is going to find it. Might as well be you. Save this. Share it with one developer who needs it. 🔖 Which platform have you tried? Drop it below 👇

@palmettoarmory Love it

The wait is over! The Mixtape Suppressor is coming! See the video for full details.
