As America cements its position as the crypto capital of the world, clear rules of the road for software developers are critical. Today’s staff no-action letter delivers long overdue clarity for non-custodial digital wallet software providers.

Today @phantom received first-of-its-kind no-action relief from the @CFTC. We can now connect users to regulated derivatives markets and event contracts without registering as an introducing broker.

Some personal news: I’ll be stepping down as Director of Growth at the Monad Foundation.
I've been working on Monad over the last 3 years.
I’ve spent the last 9 years in crypto and been full time in the industry since joining the VC team at CMS in 2020.
After fielding 1,000+ startup pitches, I came across Monad and knew it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I went all in to help bring it to market.
Building Monad from the ground up alongside Keone, James, Eunice, and the broader team has been the most rewarding experience of my career.
We set out to build a decentralized, EVM-compatible L1 that truly scales. After years of work, it’s incredible to see that vision come to life. The tech is best-in-class and the ecosystem has 100+ teams full of builders ready for the next wave of users.
I’m proud we built this with integrity, no shortcuts, and a long-term mindset. Monad is now in a position to succeed and in great hands, with exciting initiatives coming in 2026 from both the Monad Foundation and Category Labs.
I’ll be transitioning into an advisor role and will remain actively involved in supporting Monad and the broader ecosystem.
Excited for what's ahead - updates to come.

@BenHawkins @DPazdan @phantom @JupiterExchange Thanks @BenHawkins - for (3) is there a particular site you where experience issues the most? We'll investigate.

@DPazdan @phantom @JupiterExchange 1) battery drain is insane
2) pages are reloaded if you switch tabs (even when going back to the same tab)
3) frequent Dapp connection issues.
4) frequent issues connecting to ledger hardware (though this has improved from before)
English

I finally got tired of all the bugs on @phantom mobile and just started using @JupiterExchange’s mobile app.
My god I’ve been missing out. If you are like me and get tired of phantom crapping out, not saving website state, not connecting to dapps well, please stop using it.

Phantom is not at risk. We have confirmed Phantom does not use any vulnerable versions of the affected packages.
We take a number of steps to guard against these types of attacks, including:
- Strict version pinning for all dependencies, preventing automatic updates to potentially compromised packages
- Mandatory security reviews for all package upgrades before integration
- Multi-layered dependency scanning and vulnerability monitoring
- Isolated build environments with integrity verification
We take the security of our users and their funds extremely seriously and will continue investing in our security practices to keep them safe against evolving threats like this one. x.com/P3b7_/status/1…
