Proof of Contribution stepped off screen for the first time last week in Miami 🌴 For the past year we've been running POC as a monthly online event with pitches, Q&As, breakout rooms, and always finishing off with open networking over a round of games. It started small and grew to 160 people joining from across the global Web3 ecosystem, plus more than 1,000 in the connected Telegram group. In Miami we took it out of Google Meet and into a cool space in Wynwood. The whole thing came together with the amazing team at Novify, with Angelica leading the room as pitch master and keeping the energy high all afternoon. Three projects pitched live: Refi2, ClimaT Protocol, and Tx. Each one got a Q&A after, then breakout groups where every person in the room had a moment to introduce themselves, share their project, or tell their story. The Hashlock crew was on the ground for the whole thing, and honestly the energy in that room was something else. What makes POC different isn't the pitches. It's the structured networking. Everyone takes part. Everyone gets a moment. Next month POC goes back online. New faces, familiar ones, same energy. 📅 Thursday June 4th 🔗 Sign up on Luma: lu.ma/POC-online Open to everyone. Free to join. And if you're gutted you missed Miami, don't worry. The next IRL is already in the works. 👀 👉 Interested in co-hosting the next in-person POC? We'd love to hear from you.

Two things you should check before you trust a Web3 project: the team behind it, and the code underneath it. @cryptorafts_ takes trust seriously. They built an AI layer that verifies the people. We've been verifying the code for years. Made sense to team up 🤝 Cryptorafts users now get Hashlock audits at a partner discount. 🌍 hashlock.com | cryptorafts.com

Always good to see the security side of the ecosystem get its spotlight 👏 @ETHDubaiConf mapped it out well. Strong teams, easy to reach, all in one place. That kind of density matters for builders. Right where we should be 🔒

What’s your game plan for Consensus Miami? 🤔 Let’s map it out LIVE in our space with @TobiasTBV, @Brent_Fulfer, and @consensus2026 Managing Director, Brad Spies — joined by our event partners to share the insights and intel you’ll need: 🎙️Speakers: - Ivan Anastassov (@Ivan_Anastassov), COO of @TrustSwap - Adeola Adedewe (@TheAAdedewe), CEO/Founder of @kredete - Pritam Dutta (@pritrules), Founder & CEO of @zothdotio - Jackson Hwu (@HwuJackMIA), Partner at Dentons - Joseph Guagliardo (@joeg_techchain), Partner at @Dentons - Christopher Soriano, Co-Founder & CCO at @BridgePortMQ - July Grullon (@Julygrullon_) , Co-Founder CEO at @nettyworthapp - Jackson Alton Hinkle (@jacksonaltonh), Executive Producer at @RTB_io - Pauline Shangett (@deeepmoist), CSO at @ChangeNOW_io - Michael Hage (@degen_mike14), Chief Degen Officer at @Velvet_Capital Mark your calendars now! 🚀 🔗x.com/i/spaces/1oKMv…

15 contracts. Full system review. Community tested before we even started #⃣🔒 That is the kind of codebase we want on our desk. @monstrodefi and the @Based_Loans team have been building on Base for 3 years with real money flowing through the protocol, and they are treating security the way it should be treated at that stage. Deep into the review and happy to be working with a team that ships with this level of commitment. 🚀

🪽 Bridges don't need to be loud. They need to be right. 🔐 @PheasantNetwork is bringing AI to interoperability. Their AIntent system, built on the ERC-7683 intent standard, lets users express the outcome they want, and AI agents handle the route, the cost, and the execution across Ethereum and 30+ Layer 2s. Over $200M in cross-chain volume already processed, with backing from the Ethereum Foundation, Optimism Foundation, and Polygon Labs. Then it landed with Hashlock. We did what we do. Findings addressed. Secure rating issued. AI can route intent. The contracts still have to hold the funds. 📘 Full audit: hashlock.com/audits/pheasan… 🌐 pheasant.network

🤯HASHLOCK IS PART OF A $1M SECURITY GRANT FROM THE ETHEREUM FOUNDATION! Hashlock is excited to announce we are among the auditing firms included in the new grant from the @ethereumfndn aiming to make security audits more affordable. They are dedicating $1M dollars to subsidise audits via the @areta_io market platform. What a great initiative to be a part of. We look forward to helping more great teams protect their users.

🇫🇷 Hashlock at EthCC Cannes Our team has just returned from an awesome week at EthCC, connecting with builders, founders, and security teams shaping the future of Web3. We had a great time, and even had the chance to present a few awards at a side event we sponsored. From packed side events to deep technical conversations, one thing is clear, the pace of innovation hasn’t slowed, but the focus has shifted. Security, resilience, and real-world utility are front and centre. Great to catch up with partners, meet new teams, and see firsthand what’s coming next across the ecosystem. If you’re building and thinking about smart contract security, we’re always happy to chat. See you around Cannes 💥

@Lulupower14 @Hashlock_ Lets goooo!

@Hashlock_ Heyyyy come on !!! Let's gooooo

The Aave wstETH incident shows why protocol security does not stop at code correctness. A system can be logically secure in parts and still fail in production when coupled state stops moving in sync. That is a security problem. Thread below 👇: what broke, why it mattered, and the security lesson builders should not miss.

Liquidity should move with intention, not friction 💧⚡️ @DiffuseFi is building institutional-grade onchain lending infrastructure designed to power true prime brokerage in DeFi. Through Prime, hedge funds can supply assets, access deep borrowing liquidity and deploy capital seamlessly across strategies — all within a unified, capital-efficient framework. This is more than a lending market. Prime introduces a coordinated liquidity layer where capital is aggregated, risk is netted intelligently and counterparties interact within a structured environment designed for scale. The goal: reduce idle capital, optimize balance sheet efficiency and unlock more productive leverage across onchain markets. When lending markets go live, precision is everything. Interest rate logic, collateral parameters, margin requirements and liquidation pathways must function exactly as designed — especially under stress and volatility. Hashlock reviewed Diffuse’s smart contracts, rigorously pressure testing core lending flows, accounting integrity, margin calculations and edge-case scenarios that matter when real value is on the line 🛡🔍 Capital efficiency drives growth. Verified prime infrastructure makes it sustainable. Full audit: hashlock.com/audits/diffuse 📘 App: app.prime.diffuse.fi/lend 🌐
