There was a different type of energy at @consensus2026 yesterday. The conversation has fully shifted to enterprise- grade entrepreneurship. Tradfi institutions are leading the dialogue on RWA, settlement and integration of blockchain technology with their business lines.

Some personal news*  I've recently joined @aave 👻 as Chief Strategy and Business Officer. After ~4 months of rest and reflection regarding the state of the industry, my personal life, and my ambitions, I feel more invigorated and determined than ever to contribute to the crypto space. When I stepped away from @AvaLabs earlier this year, I said I'd take time to think carefully about where I could contribute most. I’m grateful for the awesome opportunities I've been able to consider. The answer became clear over the past months and many conversations with @StaniKulechov and the Aave Labs team. I've long known Stani and Emilio and admired their work. Like them, I believe the future of finance is onchain, and Aave is at the center of this evolution. Aave has the opportunity to provide a better way to borrow and lend, and to build credit markets at internet scale. The legacy financial system is slow, fragmented, and quietly extractive, and most of the world is underserved by it. Aave has spent years proving, in production and across cycles, that an open and programmable alternative works at scale. The next chapter is about turning that foundation into the credit and capital markets layer of the internet. In this new role, I'll lead strategy, business development, and core operational functions,  working closely with Stani and the team to strengthen what's already working while pursuing the next set of opportunities ahead of us. I'm joining at a pivotal moment. The events of the past week have made clear there's real work to be done and lessons to be drawn. I’ve been working non-stop with the team on the recovery effort this past week and I have no doubt that Aave will emerge even stronger. What I've seen up close is grit, focus, and determination under pressure. This is exactly the kind of team I want to build alongside of, and it makes me even more confident about where this is all headed. -Luigi

Emin Gün Sirer🔺⚔️@el33th4xor·
Ten years ago, I typed out a warning in real time in Google docs while hundreds of anonymous wombats and chupacabras watched over my shoulder. Three weeks later a hacker drained $60M, 15% of all ether was at risk, and Ethereum forked to survive. We called it before it happened. A decade of audits, formal verification, and hard lessons later, I think we've made enough progress to get it right the next time. I shared my story in @FortuneMagazine, out today.
Avalanche🔺@avax

Emin Gün Sirer saw the warning signs early. @el33th4xor flagged risks in The DAO Ethereum-based fund in 2016, identifying the vulnerabilities later exploited in the hack. Ten years on, he reflects on the moment for @FortuneMagazine, and how far the space has come since.

I had the honor of doing a panel with the legendary investor Mark Mobius just last November at Cornell. Even at 88, he was super sharp and talked passionately about investing. He leaves a great legacy and will be missed.
