Amped to say I've joined the world-class team @zellic_io as Growth Lead for their audit and node operation business! I'll be working closely with teams at all stages to help them build more secure protocols. I couldn't be happier to join @gf_256 and @ret2jazzy in their mission to find all the bugs and save all the money.
Zellic's node ops uniquely support both pre-launch and well-established networks in a few ways:
- Teams (Foundations, LSTs, etc.) that delegate to us earn back a portion of our nodes' rewards as audit credits, effectively keeping our s-tier security engineers on retainer
- Zellic's unparalleled depth of experience auditing protocols, core node software, pentesting, etc. ensures that when shit goes pear-shaped and you pick up the red phone - people who can fix it answer the call
- We're invested in your success. When number go up you get more audit credits and you can build more (and more secure) stuff
In my brief time with the team I've been amazed at their commitment to openness, collaboration, and to each other's success.
I'm humbled and grateful to be here. Let's build cool shit together.

Payward’s xStocks has surpassed $1 billion in AUM.
AUM has more than quadrupled since February, with coverage growing from 60 assets to 1,500+, now including Russell 1000 constituents, as demand for global access to tokenized equities rises.

Happy 10th anniversary, Zcash!
I put together this short documentary to tell the story of the Sprout ceremony from October 2016, which gave birth to the first zero knowledge proof privacy coin!

i spend most of my day talking to ai now.
i work from home, i haven’t been to a conference in ages, and at some point i realised i’m barely having real conversations with people anymore. which is a problem, because i always find my greatest inspiration comes from having conversations with new people.
so i’m running a small experiment: 100 conversations over the next few months with friends, strangers and a maybe a few enemies if they’re up for it. just 25 minutes of your time, and we can talk about whatever you want, or i’ll come with some easy questions.
i think of it a bit like reading 100 books, so if you have a book you’d recommend, bring that too.

Congrats to Zellic Cryptographer @JiaxinGuan for two accepted papers at TCC 2026, with one of them earning the Outstanding Paper Award!
He will be presenting both results at the Theory of Cryptography Conference in New York this November.

🥧BAKED IN🥧
Any developer that uses OpenZeppelin templates or token wizard for their token (hint: they all do) can now easily get CCIP and ACE standards baked in.
Today we’re announcing a strategic partnership with @chainlink
Chainlink CCIP and ACE are now natively embedded across OpenZeppelin tooling, giving institutions and developers one trusted foundation for moving assets and operations onchain.

Crypto should be private. And privacy shouldn’t cost.

Last week, I had the opportunity to contribute to BGIN Block 15’s Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration workshops, hosted at Georgetown University, as an invited key contributor.
I presented a live demo of pqcvisualizer.com and discussed why post-quantum migration goes far beyond replacing signatures.
My written contribution explores the technical, operational, and governance challenges of making that transition.
