ICYMI: We were at @ETHCincoDeMayo chatting about how to secure your devices with Roman, Incident Lead @ Quantstamp🔒

@talerfinance Congrats on your launch 🔥🔥

Welcome to Taler Finance | The curated vault era is here, but infrastructure still lags behind traditional asset management. Taler closes that gap. We build and scale tailored vault infrastructure for institutions and ecosystems. A thread 🧵

@Quantstamp ahhhh make it stop!!!

Security updates you should know from June: what got hit, and why the biggest loss never touched a smart contract. TLDR; • $75.32M lost across 32 web3 incidents (vs May's $59.52M) • One targeted social-engineering operation was 42% of the total

And that's a wrap! Read the full breakdown on our blog: quantstamp.com/blog/june-secu… See you again next month.

Happening offchain this month: • Miasma: an npm worm that hijacked Red Hat's packages, now stealing GCP & Azure cloud identities and shipping releases with valid provenance • Oracle PeopleSoft: a zero-day exploited for 2 weeks before the advisory

🇺🇸 NYC | Upcoming Event | 8th July | REGISTER NOW 🇺🇸 🧠 TOPIC: Gatling — Rapid-Fire Consensus from Parallel Composition (by @GScaffino @MaxResnick @jneu_net) 🧠 ➡️ Register: luma.com/whitep-hcef 📆 Date: Wed 8 July @ 6 PM – 8 PM (EST) 📍 Location: @SolanaSkyline ❣️ Big shout-out to our: Session guide: @zeebradoom • Investor at Big Brain Holdings • Led WPRC sessions in NYC, SF & Denver on MEV, prediction markets and more • Helped grow the Whitepaper Reading Club SF ecosystem @SolanaSkyline and @nbelenkov & @jonnymevs from @Quantstamp for making this possible 🫶 Session TL;DR: - Gatling tackles a core bottleneck in modern blockchain consensus: inter-proposal time — the delay between one block proposal and the next. - Existing single-chain pipelined protocols have effectively hit a floor of one network delay, because each leader usually needs to observe the previous block before proposing the next one. - Gatling breaks this limitation by running multiple parallel instances of a standard consensus protocol and staggering their proposal schedules. The result: arbitrarily small inter-proposal times, even below one network delay, without relying on highly specialized protocol optimizations. The big question: can parallel composition give blockchains faster throughput while preserving atomic broadcast, fault tolerance, and clean ordering guarantees?

@nikil @Alchemy Exciting to see this huge performance upgrade!!

today we're rolling out a 6-10x speed up for the entire crypto ecosystem - custom hardware - CPU optimization - globally distributed data centers + custom edge proxy eth_calls at latest now blazingly fast after powering trillions of API requests & trillion of dollars for @jpmorgan, @Fidelity, @RobinhoodApp, @Polymarket we're now at the level of micro optimizing custom hardware to get the next level of performance

Transparency should lower your cost of doing business. Introducing Verified D&O: issuers who prove their identity and collateral now qualify for D&O underwriting built for digital assets. A collaboration with @blupryntco. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

The Zcash Orchard bug was patched, but nobody can prove it was never exploited. In Part 3, @rabizzzy breaks down why privacy makes an exploit invisible and the trade-off against supply integrity 👇

The Zcash orchard pool bug came down to a single missing constraint in a zero-knowledge circuit. In Part 2 of our miniseries, @rabizzzy breaks down how Zcash proves a payment it can't see, and whether the same bug could be hiding in projects far beyond Zcash 👇

@Giveth @encryptmempool exciting stuff :)

Proud to share that Giveth is joining the Encrypt the Mempool Coalition. 🤝 Together with projects across Ethereum, we're pushing to integrate an EIP to encrypt the mempool in Ethereum's I* Hardfork - helping stop toxic MEV and real-time censorship in a decentralized and credibly neutral way.

One of the best parts of running an open funding round is being able to learn in the open. The @thedaofund Ethereum Security QF Round retrospective is now live!! Inside you'll find what worked, what didn't, and the improvements we're already thinking about for future rounds. Thank you to everyone who joined our retrospective calls and shared thoughtful feedback along the way. 💜

@ethanyish @AmplifyPartners @kleinerperkins @Theoryvc Congrats on this amazing milestone!

I’m excited to announce our $40M Series B, led by @AmplifyPartners with @kleinerperkins, and @Theoryvc. After knowing each other for 10 years and meeting in our freshman year in college, Cheng Han and I came together in 2021 to solve the massive problem with blockchains - the data was fragmented across hundreds of chains and unusable at scale. Today, we manage 30+ petabytes of blockchain data that serves as the onchain system of record for institutions like Visa, BCG, and major banks and asset managers. A lot has changed since our Series A two years ago: → Revenue grew 10x → 150+ enterprise customers → Visa and BCG built their stablecoin dashboards on Allium → Data cited by research institutions from the Fed to Stanford Since we founded Allium 5 years ago, blockchain went from retail speculation to institutional infrastructure for 24/7 settlement, programmable payments, and tokenized assets that trade like equities. Allium went from 3 people in a room to the data layer leading institutions trust to operate onchain. Thank you to our customers, investors, and especially the Allium team for helping us reach this milestone. It's been an incredible journey so far, and we're excited to continue building the system of record for onchain finance. A special thank you to @dbeyer123 from Amplify who’s joining our board, @ttunguz @SpencerFarrar @LM_Braswell and everyone who believed in us from the beginning. And thank you to @bdanweiss and @FortuneMagazine for covering the news! Read more about our announcement:

A double-spend bug sat in Zcash's Orchard pool since 2022, through multiple audits and expert reviews. In Part 1, @rabizzzy breaks down what the bug actually was, how it surfaced, and why a counterfeiting flaw in a privacy coin is harder to assess than an exchange hack 👇
