Massive congrats to Derek and the team. ZeroDev ships like no other team in the AA space. The fact that Derek also shipped a baby whilst doing all this is no surprise!

Crypto has been PvP and over indexed on short term strategic wins vs long term strategic investment. With regs clearing and tradfi/fintech flooding in, the game is changing. The big players are assessing strategic choke points and consolidation is in play.

The tradfi precogs need to get a grip. I can't run a fucking startup with 6 figure balances lost to the international transfer maze

this is honestly the first crypto product i have sent to my mum and wife

ethers.js needs to support signature verification of smart contract wallets ASAP. we can't have ~50% of the apps that use ethers be incompatible with smart wallets. 😭

Interop is inevitable, but it’s a hard problem to solve right. The best UX is either to avoid it entirely or abstract it away completely. Grateful that some of the smartest folks in crypto, like Rhinestone team, are tackling this head-on - we’re in good hands.

Fragmentation of chains is great for interoperability protocols. Now that Tether, Circle, & Stripe are all building different payment L1s, it is increasingly unlikely that we will have one globally-dominant payment L1. As a result, interoperability between payment chains

The worst-kept secret in interop is that crosschain solvers don’t actually exist. Most of them are vanilla relayers that don’t ‘solve’ anything. They simply store inventory on X + Y chains and execute fills. So we built the Orchestrator - the first *true* crosschain solver. 🧵

Bridge providers and aggregators convinced wallets they needed a bridge button Rhinestone is on a mission to remove it

Unpopular opinion: If you’re serious about getting better at work in crypto, you need to use weekends to read and catch up on updates and podcasts. Crypto moves too fast, and work days are hectic. You need to give extra time to even stay in touch with what’s going on in the

The Compact is a new primitive for reusable resource locks to unlock a new paradigm for crosschain interop. It's open source and completely permissionless. It is a foundational and composable building block, much like Permit2. The beauty of open source, is that anyone can

LFG love this

Warp makes networks and accounts completely invisible to the end user, without compromising on self-custody or performance. Powered by intents, smart account-based. More to come!

London needs more crypto events. Thanks Zebu Live for setting this up!

There is no other event that takes crypto UX as seriously as WalletCon. Looking forward to contributing!
