Ledger just released a new update for Nano X that allows social recovery of your seed phrase. It encrypts your seed in 3 shards and sends it to different entities that can then reconstruct the seed for you post ID verification. It's a horrendous idea, DON'T enable this feature.

IMO this is one of the biggest and most important foundry improvements of recent. You can now run fuzz tests with fail on revert on or off. Incredible.

ICYMI: it is now possible to provide granular fuzzing settings for your Foundry tests using inline comments. In the example below, the fuzzer will run 100 times for this specific test, ignoring the default number of fuzz runs set in `foundry.toml`.

One of the quickest ways to learn anything is to try it. Smart Contracts: - I kept writing solidity & vyper Running validators & nodes: - I kept running different kinds of nodes Audits: - I sat my ass down and screamed at my computer for days until I found bugs Stay curious

There are no "bad" questions, but there are poorly formatted questions. Learning how to format questions well will help you when interacting with both humans & AIs

I’ve been using ChatGPT to explain to me my own code that I wrote a year ago. Sometimes it’s better at explaining my thought process better than my own thought process. You’re welcome.

"Why do we STILL have REENTRANCY bugs??" "Have we learned nothing from so many exploits??" "Smart contract devs are so dumb broooo" "Mi famiglia! 😭" A perplexing phenomenon. But let me give you the other side of the equation, and explain WHY we still have reentrancy attacks 🧵

The #1 thing we need to fix in DeFi is security Frequency and size of exploits is currently 2 orders of magnitude larger than acceptable levels for mainstream adoption If we don't get a LOT better at this, we'll never move beyond niche status

We have scheduled the upcoming week exclusively for research purposes, allowing security researchers to take a respite and devote time to upskilling. The research topics encompass topics such as zero-knowledge and AI. Always remember to take time to sharpen the axe!

Quick tip: Don’t pretend you know anything. That’s the best way to start knowing things. Pretending to know something robs you of the experience of questioning and then learning that thing. Stay curious
