Privacy coins are the best performing sector this cycle, up 52.4%. Not AI, Perp Dex, or even memecoins. The same week governments passed laws forcing exchanges to report every transaction. The market rotated harder into privacy than any other sector. Privacy takeover is real.

Let me be clear what I am saying and not saying: I am NOT saying: let's forcibly shut down protocols (we can't), or let's only use the largest ones, or that teams shouldn't build new protocols. I AM saying: there are a lot of zombie protocols out there with basically the front doors unlocked and no one inside anymore. These are like blighted homes and we need to get rid of them, or the whole neighborhood will suffer. The way we change that is by CHANGING THE NORMS around shutdowns and giving these founders a graceful way to exit. Right now there is no playbook on how to wind down a DeFi protocol, and we need to make one, ASAP.

Suspicious that your girl has 10+ body count? Now you don't have to guess. You paste her ig URL, and the app brutally estimates her body count by checking her followers, posts and stories.


Vitalik: zk Will Transform Not Only Blockchains, but the Entire Internet On January 27, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at the ETH ChiangMai togETHer Tuesday event that zero-knowledge proofs (zk) offer not only privacy and scalability benefits for blockchains, but may also extend their impact to broader internet use cases. zk technology enables the verification of computation results without revealing the underlying data, providing new approaches to identity verification, algorithm transparency, and large-scale computation verification. He added that as technologies such as zk-SNARKs continue to mature, their range of applications is expected to expand significantly over the coming years. Source: youtube.com/live/7aLk5tGc1…

welp, it happened. @owockibot's hot wallet private key was compromised after only 5 days alive. luckily, funds are SAFE. @owockibot's treasury / signing keys are stored in a safe that requires me to sign. what happened? it was given these instructions to never share it... but it still did! from my investigations, it put the key into git commits (which it swears it didnt push!), vercel env variables (which it swears it doesnt remember doing!), and it looks like it got social engineering attacked through X and telegram (though it swears it didnt share secrets w attacker!). what did i learn? 1. investigations with an agent mediating are hard. i've found my agent is not a *reliable narrator* during the investigations. sometimes it forgets things, contradicts itself - esp between context windows. it may even be covering for itself, i cant know for sure. 2. if you expose your agent to the internet, and give it secrets, you cannot be 100% sure it wont leak them. 3. its still gonna be useful for @owockibot to do small txns itself. i am going to be coming up with a way to let it do txns via @MetaMask UI for now. but if anyone is building an agentic wallet hit me up i want to try it out. 4. the @owockibot traction towards the @swarmwealth vision is still going strong. this was a minor setback.




We're kicking off 2026 with our first X space, hosting the team from @PiSquared to discuss whether it's time to transcend blockchains. Join us on Thursday, 22nd of January at 17:00 UTC to learn more. Set your reminder: x.com/i/spaces/1lPKq…
