TheDAO Security Fund’s first round is out! We’re kicking things off with a broadly scoped Ethereum Security quadratic funding round on Giveth as the first move in our bottom-up distribution strategy. Why QF? Because we wanted the first round to do more than just allocate funds. QF is still one of the most powerful funding mechanisms Ethereum has produced. It gives the community a real voice, helps projects build awareness around their work, and creates extra upside for the Ethereum security space beyond the funding itself. That felt like the right energy for a first round. Not to mention, QF could also bring in meaningful donations on top of the pool. Extra funding for security is always good! Why keep the scope broad? There are so many projects out there building tools, standards, infrastructure, response systems, and protections that make Ethereum safer every single day, but this work is easy to miss if you’re not deep in it already. This round gives that work a chance to gain better adoption. We hope the many projects, tools, newsletters (and more) that join the round will become more widely known by everyone who participates, especially the ETHSecurity Badgeholders. This new awareness around what is already out there will, in itself, improve Ethereum security. Why Giveth? Because Giveth is already working closely on TheDAO Security Fund’s operations, including standing up the ETHSecurity Badges program, and going forward, they’ll also be working with all of our round operators. That made them the natural choice for running the first round. This first round is not just about getting funds out the door. It’s also about getting a real process in motion, learning from it, and making the next rounds better because of it. And on a practical level, Giveth is also the only Ethereum-focused team still actively running QF rounds at this scale. Read all about the round here 👇

I will say it again, we used GPT5.4 and Opus, and we were able to autonomously find zero-days in the Linux Kernel (in the last 3 weeks) Mythos is probably better at the task of finding potential issues in code, but imo the threshold for "scary" was reached in December or even earlier This is a great hype machine for Anthropic, especially that they plan to do IPO eoy I totally agree - this is not a new capability

it changed my life, work goes 2 times faster, it’s like having a laptop with huge screen where you can move the keyboard around without moving the screen, best 30$ ever spend

The vault curator and risk manager landscape in DeFi is about to undergo a massive change in terms of players, markets, asset types, credit origination & underwriting, and yields. Vaults are one of the most innovative and exciting parts of the industry rn

1. This isn't fake. 2. Credentials are stored as hashes. It should be literally, with no exaggeration, impossible for a vendor to know your credentials while uppercase UNLESS they weren't storing passwords as hashes. What the fuck is HSBC India doing?
