Freedom isn't freedom when it only applies to the people you agree with. "Freedom" then becomes censorship which is the tool of choice of oppression. I joined this industry because I saw it's opportunity to change human societies forever, granting a new level of freedom, self

The only reason why people FEEL that Thorchain should censor transactions is the general FEELING that if they put enough pressure on Node Operators, they will buckle under pressure (which honestly can happen). Nobody is asking that from Bitcoin and Ethereum because it FEELS

Our Monero multisig protocol was proven secure! FROSTLASS is a FROST-inspired protocol applying its techniques to Monero's CLSAG. It achieves constant per-participant upload, linear computation, and identifiable aborts, enabling large-scale decentralized threshold multisigs.

No one wants to see bad folks use crypto. But privacy is an important feature for many law abiding citizens, and you can’t sanction open source code (it’s a free speech issue). Glad to see this get fixed. We look forward to working with Treasury to find ways to combat the ~0.1%

This regulatory clarity around mixers (and indirectly crosschain protocols) is extremely bullish for Thorchain, Chainflip, Maya & co. Good stuff $RUNE $RUJI $FLIP $CACAO

Think this is a fun trend? Think again. While some don't have an issue sharing selfies on social media, the trend of creating a "Ghibli-style" image has seen many people feeding OpenAI photos of themselves and their families. Here's why that's a problem: 1/4

I’m tired. Everything I love about software: craft, care, community is being gutted. AI slop PRs for airdrops. Fake activity to juice metrics for retro funding. DAO politics and governance favors. OSS reduced to a game of farming points and politics. Crypto didn’t liberate

Feeling nostalgic today. Two years ago, Maya was just a vision. We launched fair, raised $11.4M from believers, and donated 90 million CACAO to the community. Started with 5 assets Now we’re swapping BTC, ETH, DASH, ARB, RUNE, USDT, XRD, USDC with zCash, Cardano and Kaspa

🚨 THORChain v3.5.0 is not just an update. It’s a transformation. This thread breaks down the biggest protocol upgrade since multichain swaps—and why $RUNE is about to melt faces again. 👇 1. First, let’s be real. THORChain needed this. After ThorFi broke the narrative, we

.THORChain owes Aaluxx⚡️🍫🛡️ a huge debt of gratitude Yes, for the design of $TCY and all the work he and his team have put in to implement it, and nailing its execution But even more so for his quiet leadership, grace, and humility throughout A quiet giant, fighting for

"Only Zcash is designed and built by professional and academic cryptographers." "Monero is an amateur cryptocurrency." - Edward Snowden Probabilistic privacy is not real privacy. It was invented by amateurs who lacked the expertise to build true privacy technology into Monero.

🧵 MWM #114 If you blinked, you missed A LOT. Here’s the scoop on what’s cookin’ at Maya Protocol this week 👇 🥁 v119 is LIVE ETH & ARB got messy after Ethereum’s backdrop—so we whipped up a fast, lightweight update over the weekend. No fluff, just the essentials to unhalt

With ZEC now live on Maya Protocol, Zcash gains native access to a permissionless, decentralized, cross-chain liquidity network for truly decentralized asset swaps. This means ZEC holders can swap between assets with multiple chains without relying on centralized exchanges.

Curious how Maya Protocol + $ZEC swaps work?
