Still excited from connecting @ethereum thought leaders with NY's finance behemoths; showcasing how the ecosystem will underpin the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. Click through the thread to watch the recordings in order! Full agenda here: ethereumnyc.org/agenda

Excited to share that @icme_labs has been selected for the @0G_labs Apollo Accelerator, backed by @theBBFund and veterans from Stanford's blockchain community @StanfordSBA. 🔥Only 10 teams selected out of hundreds🔥 #ZKML We're building PreFlight: cryptographic guardrails for AI agents. Plain English policies compiled to formal logic used for enforcement; with a succinct ZK proof of every decision. LLM judges don't work. Humans-in-the-loop, no way! Agents that handle anything important need cryptographic guardrails. That's PreFlight. #0gApolloAccelerator

Wrapped up a strong day at The Programmable Economy: AI & Blockchain Redefining Markets at @cornell_tech. The discussions underscored a clear shift toward verifiable infrastructure for the emerging agent economy. The “AI on Blockchain Rails” panel, moderated by @Gary_Weinstein_, highlighted why privacy and verifiability are becoming foundational requirements. Proud to have @amitchax representing @palliora, where we are building the privacy-enhancing stack spanning ZK, MPC, FHE, and TEEs to enable secure, auditable human–AI coordination. Grateful to the organizers @CTBlockchainNYC, @CUBlockchain, @theBBFund, and @initc3org, and to everyone who contributed to a thoughtful and forward-looking conversation. The next phase of market infrastructure is being built with verifiability at its core.

Quantum computing is advancing quickly while $BTC remains difficult to upgrade. @swillinger of @theBBFund tells @RemyBlaireNews the fix is "relatively straightforward," but the Bitcoin community will face a governance decision on coins that would need to be migrated, including Satoshi's. "21 million might not be the final number anymore."

We meant to say “congrats” 😬

We're not killing SaaS. We're not replacing Claude or ChatGPT. We're taking a different approach. We're giving life to a new way of working with AI. That starts with owning your AI intelligence. If you don't want your startup to on the list of deaths after the next Claude release, this event's for you. Come discover the "fountain of truth" at our launch event in SF. Come hang. Demo what you're building. Meet others in the space. Link in the comments. 7th May | San Francisco

I'm grateful that Anthropic open-sourced Claude Code today. I'm also grateful that Claude Code launched closed-source a year ago because it gave us time to build Ante, the precursor of our mission, from first principles without being influenced. And why yet ANother TErminal agent? Well, "it's just built different."

@hunterharloff @topology_vc Cant believe you bogarted the whole round. Selfish

Excited to announce @topology_vc's $100M pre-seed investment into Natural Intelligence, the world's latest neo-lab. Natural Intelligence has developed a proprietary distillation engine that ingests frontier model outputs from Claude, GPT, and Gemini, compresses them into structured knowledge modules, and uses them to train 1000x more efficient biological compute endpoints at enterprise scale. Think ScaleAI - but for training people.

Exciting to see @Mastercard formalizing their work in the space. Excited to keep partnering! @_rawchristian_ @JFaury @immersve youtube.com/watch?v=2btTir…

@worldbuildlabs is a joint program between @worldcoin, @world_chain_, and FWB to build the next generation of breakout Apps for World App’s 38M+ users.

Hinkal Pay is live. Businesses and consumers can now settle confidentially, end-to-end. Sender, recipient, amount - all private, without changing wallets, chains or stablecoins. With Hinkal Pay you can: - Send confidentially - Receive confidentially - Execute private & public payouts - Operate on existing rails - Maintain compliance controls How it works When you settle through Hinkal Pay, funds move to a confidential balance inside Hinkal’s smart contract, controlled by the recipient’s existing wallet. From there, recipients can access funds and: - Pay privately Execute confidential payouts to vendors, affiliates, employees, partners, or treasury accounts. Sender, recipient, and amounts remain confidential on-chain. - Send to public wallets Send funds as a standard on-chain transfer to any public wallet address. The sender remains private. All transactions are screened via @chainalysis before execution, and high-risk or flagged addresses are prevented from accessing the smart contract. Live on: @ethereum @base @arbitrum @polygon @arc @optimism Supported assets: USDT, USDC, DAI, and ETH Link & Step-by-step 🧵👇

Proud to be working with the @0G_labs team to bring the same programming content and network that helped launch @0G_labs into the world from the @StanfordSBA to the builders in the @0G_labs ecosystem.

Rollups adoption panel with @ellierdavidson from @EspressoSys, @0xfishylosopher from @panteracapital, and Matt Pearring from @Offchain at BASS Denver 2026 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=2btTir…

Matt Pearring from @Offchain: Ethereum shouldn't try to be Hyperliquid or Solana. Its core competency is decentralized settlement and data availability. That's where L2s come in for specialized, high-performance applications.
