What if Bitcoin really was created by the CIA? Bitcoin OG Jeff Booth says that still wouldn’t break the case for Bitcoin. His argument is that even if Bitcoin came from the intelligence world, it no longer belongs to them.👇

@EricBeansH33ai @toly I'm building on a chain called Tau Net. And the project is ZenoDEX. I leverage the latest techniques of formal verification, high assurance defensive programming. And it uses ZK proofs. github.com/TheDarkLightX/…

How Tau would have stopped a $280M hack: Attackers compromised the Security Council's keys, removed withdrawal limits, and drained $280M before anyone could react. "How does this keep happening?" DeFi needs Tau's tech to formalize rules into the protocol itself. Rules such as - "It is not the case that withdrawal limits are modified without a time lock of 48 hours and approval from at least 3 of 5 signers." - "It is not the case that any single withdrawal exceeds 100,000 within a 24-hour period without multi-signature approval." - "It is not the case that a governance proposal overrides or weakens any safety rule while funds are held." - "It is not the case that an asset is accepted as collateral without verification from at least two independent price sources." These will be Tau specifications for software that physically can't do what the spec forbids.

The Claude leak needed the rule "never send private data over the network." The Mercor breach needed "reject any update that hasn't been formally verified." Obvious rules but no language can enforce them across all future states of a system apart from the Tau Language. Tau Language is "The critical ingredient for Safe AI" - Ohad Asor

The Trump DOJ has said it won't prosecute crypto software developers. But it's doing so anyway decrypt.co/362519/crypto-…

What if a blockchain's consensus mechanism was just another rule users could update? New testnet commit from Andre 👇 Andrei's architecture separates consensus state from application state specifically so the mechanism can be swapped without touching the rest of the chain.

AI eating software is the Nokia moment. Everyone's celebrating the phone that can't browse the internet. The next wave is executable specs. Describing your requirements and getting a program that's mathematically guaranteed correct by construction.

@betirement Except $STRC dividends are 11.5% annual return, not monthly, & max HSA contribution is $4k

A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA) MAY BE THE MOST POWERFUL ACCOUNT FOR $STRC DIVIDENDS. — and most people overlook it. Triple tax advantage + 11.5% monthly dividends + reinvestment compounding = $248K from $123K in contributions over 12 years. Tax-free.

@0xKawz @StaniKulechov PermissionLESS... so they gave it permission to receive LESS 😳

@StaniKulechov Not worth being the frontend that allows that kind of slippage. Permissionless or not.

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

@Yogita_Khatri5 @TheBlockCo @paradigm @AcrossProtocol Blockchains that created both token & equity arms (2 pies, one oven) was rarely a good idea.

Across Protocol wants to become a private company 👀 @paradigm-backed @AcrossProtocol posted a temperature-check proposal exploring a move from a DAO to a U.S. C-corp where ACX holders could exchange tokens for equity. If approved by the community, holders could either • exchange ACX for equity at a 1:1 ratio, or • redeem tokens for $0.04375 in USDC, a 25% premium to the one-month average price. ACX is already up over 33% since the proposal.

Rules about the world are simple.🔧 Rules about other rules are harder.🧩 Rules that check themselves are where logicians start to sweat 😓 and Tau shines. ✨ $agrs @Tau_Net tesnet soon!!#x100 #x1000

@Tau_Net @P33RL3SS @TukiFromKL Requirements expressed in formal logic that are directly executable. No translation layer where meaning gets lost. The specification IS the program

@TukiFromKL A statistical model predicts the most plausible next token. Plausible and true are completely different properties and there's no internal concept of truth with GenAI architecture. Truth requires a fundamentally different kind of AI. x.com/Tau_Net/status…

🚨Let me explain what just happened because I don't think people understand how insane this is. > A woman asked ChatGPT for legal help. It told her to fire her real lawyer. She did. > Then it wrote 40+ court filings citing laws that don't exist. Cases that never happened. Judges that never ruled. > The other side spent $300,000 responding to completely made up legal documents. > An AI hallucinated an entire legal career and nobody noticed for months. > OpenAI is now being sued for $10 million. And this is the same company that just signed a deal with the Pentagon. They can't even stop their AI from faking court cases. But sure, give it access to military intelligence. What could possibly go wrong.
