Protecting Onchain Assets: Defend What you Deploy with @hexagate_ by @chainalysis x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@deedydas Amazing effort 🙏 Would love to read them in the native language too. Seems like it’s already on your to-do list 😀

Today, I'm excited to launch my lifelong passion project, Grand Old Books!! 🚀 There are 1000s of beautiful novels of the past, not in English, locked up in old PDFs, with no physical copies left. We started with Indian texts and brought back 12 books in 6 languages with pictures and annotations. This is, and will always be, completely free. We can't let time wash away history. Please comment to let me know what book you'd like to see added.

AI is a first-class actor on both sides of the security equation. We sat down with @Coinbase and @Hacker0x01 to discuss how AI accelerates vulnerability discovery and exploitation paths. Watch the full conversation:

@base @baseapp 🥳

The security game has changed. AI is now a first-class actor. How do you defend when time-to-exploit shrinks and severity models break? Join leaders from @coinbase, @Hacker0x01 & @cantina for a candid fireside chat on the future of security in the age of AI. Details below.

We partner with @chainalysis to run this special program for Base builders. Encourage you all to take advantage of it! Together we build a more secure ecosystem for all.

Tl;dr: We’re focusing the Base app to be trading-first to drive demand and distribution for every asset and to be the best app for whatever you do in the onchain economy. Since announcing the Base app in July, hundreds of thousands of you have used the app to create, trade, save, spend, and build. Seeing the adoption has been incredible. We've also heard clear feedback about what's landing and isn't. Three themes stand out: - The app felt overly focused on social. It came across as too close to web2, and didn’t show support for the full breadth of assets that people want to trade. - Everyone wants more high quality assets. In general there is a desire to engage with and trade high quality assets. This is the most important opportunity as we bring capital markets onchain. - The feed needs to surface everything: Having a feed of what's happening onchain is a good idea, but it needs to surface apps, stocks, predictions, and every asset class (with social tokens are just one of many). In a world where everything is tokenized and tradeable, the single most valuable thing we can do is drive demand and distribution to everyone. That’s exactly what the Base app is going to do. We’re going to make the Base app the best place to trade and use every asset. Concretely this means: 1. We’re going to build for trading first. Having trading as our primary focus will help us bring demand and capital for all rapidly growing asset classes in the economy. 2. We’re going to bring more high quality assets onchain. To best serve the trading use case, we’re going to make it so everything is tradable in the app — protocols, apps, stocks, predictions, memes, and yes creators too. We’re going to lean into a finance-first UX. We be 3. We’re going to lean into a finance-first UX. We believe it makes more sense to layer social features on top of finance, than the other way around. This means we'll continue to experiment with features like copy-trading, feed-trading, and leaderboards. This is going to be hugely additive to the Base economy because it's going to drive more capital and users to every asset and app. Base app will be the best self-custodial wallet to trade and use every asset, globally accessible, with fast, simple onboarding for everyone, everywhere. Base chain will continue to be the best chain to build anything, now supercharged with even more distribution. We’re building this together, in the open, and seeing how people use the app keeps teaching us what matters most. Thank you for the continued feedback. Stay based.

5/5 We published blog posts on monitoring fault proofs and demystifying multi-threaded Cannon. We open-sourced our monitoring invariants too! blog.base.dev/how-were-monit… blog.base.dev/demystifying-m…

4/5 Folks from my team presented at several major conferences. @emrsariboz presented Post-Deployment Security @EthCC and @Jhoe0x presented Building Crosschain Bridges across VMs @summit_defi.

2025 was a great year for onchain security at @coinbase and @base. Alongside our internal efforts to secure new product launches, we kicked off several external-facing initiatives this year. Details in the 🧵👇 Excited for 2026!! Lots more to come!

Many thanks to all the speakers and moderators! And thank you to everyone who tuned in!!
