During our last live event, @buda_kyiv and Stephen Ajayi from @hackenclub broke down what happens when prompt injection meets DeFi agents. Here's 7 things from that session worth building into your architecture:

AMMs are ground zero for MEV → Sandwich attacks, front-running, and the hidden tax on every DeFi trade, all enabled by how transactions get ordered. But what if ordering itself could be fair by default? Join us THIS WEDNESDAY for a deep technical dive into CLVR, a mechanism that rethinks AMM transaction sequencing and eliminates sandwich attacks by design with @NChemaya of @BenGurionUni. What we're breaking down: • CLVR ordering vs. first-come-first-served • The anatomy of sandwich attacks and why AMMs are structurally vulnerable 🥪 • The math: batch auctions, uniform clearing prices, fairness/latency/throughput tradeoffs • How CLVR stacks up against commit-reveal, encrypted mempools, and SUAVE • Design implications if you're building an AMM, aggregator, or intent-based system 📅 Wednesday, May 13th 🕐 10:00 EDT | 16:00 CET | 17:00 IDT If you're building or auditing DeFi protocols, this one goes straight to the core.

Excited to support more builders of the cryptography expansion

@udiWertheimer Death didn’t take Chuck Norris. Chuck told death He was coming.

@Web3_Devs @zama @RitrekRecovery Great time to build

We are excited to invite you to join us for another Web3 Devs Underground event! 🔐₿ Two sessions. Two frontiers. One event. @Web3_Devs × @zama x @RitrekRecovery powered by @MasterkeyVC 📅 March 11th | 17:00 Israel Time | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EDT 📍 Live on X, YouTube & LinkedIn Register Here: luma.com/78qezjr0 Session 1 - FHE & Confidential Smart Contracts @poppyseedDev (Aurora Poppyseed), DevRel at @zama, breaks down how Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is bringing real confidentiality to the EVM - running computations on encrypted data without ever decrypting it. From private transfers to blind auctions, this is what on-chain privacy actually looks like. Session 2 - TimeLock Recovery for Bitcoin Backup @oren_z0 (Oren Zomer), Founder at @RitrekRecovery, walks through structured wallet recovery using Bitcoin Script - primary to secondary wallet, and what BIP-128 makes possible. Self-sovereign custody, done right. Two of the most technically dense topics in crypto infrastructure - in one session. Whether you're building on EVM or working with Bitcoin Script, this one's for you. 🔗 See full calendar: lnkd.in/dPBqaEMc @MasterkeyVC @SHAP0W @Amit_Masterkey @Web3_Devs @ELuttenberg789 @AlonKivity @al23xyz #Web3 #Bitcoin #FHE #Zama #ZeroKnowledge #BitcoinScript #Cryptography #Web3Dev #Blockchain #DeFi #SmartContracts #MasterkeyVC
