🚨 BREAKING: Socket is investigating an active npm supply chain attack compromising hundreds of packages in the @antv ecosystem.
The malicious publish wave appears tied to Mini Shai-Hulud and packages connected to the npm maintainer account atool.
Our friends at @LinumLabs have a bit of dev capacity opening up soon 👀
If you need:
→ Solidity or Rust engineers
→ smart contracts / protocol design
→ full-stack Web3 builds
→ or technical advisory
They’ve got a strong team ready to ship.
DMs open.

Normal humans don’t care about infrastructure.
They care about moments where their life is blocked.
“I have value, but I can’t use it when I need it.”
every lending vault on-chain right now is visible to liquidation bots.
every position. every threshold. every wallet.
we're building the version where it isn't.

Yesterday at TechCon 🔥 Here’s what I covered in my talk:
Policy is a conversation. Implementation is a confrontation with reality. And the gap between the two is where most blockchain infrastructure projects quietly die.
South Africa has something most countries don't: regulatory maturity and the patience to get this right.
The countries that rushed blockchain regulation and CBDCs are learning expensive lessons now and we've seen this through a number of use cases in Africa already.
I'll be back at TechCon tomorrow 10h00 for the ministers keynote & a roundtable on security, privacy & public trust.
Come say hi if you're around.
One of my favourite weekly reads in web3 right now (Research, tools, regulation and cypherpunk energy) news.web3privacy.info/
It's been really useful to help me stay up to date and cut through the signal-to-noise ratio you usually encounter in the space. @web3privacy
Feels like the stack is finally maturing:
permissions → execution → settlement
More control at the edges, more precision in the middle.
Nice work @get_para 👏
Web3 has reached a point where a simple “hey, would love to connect” message now triggers a full internal due diligence process.
My new default setting is to assume nothing is real.
Our goal with @LuminaEngine was never to reinvent UX but to fix the infrastructure that it's running on.
: Keep the defi interface familiar, change what happens underneath.
Private orders.
Encrypted intents.
Confidential execution.

Last week we launched the Lumina public beta.
So far we’ve introduced:
- Private trading
- Confidential payments
Next up:
- Cross-chain integrations (Hyperliquid + Ripple)
- Private lending infrastructure
Thank you for all your support as we continue to build towards private financial infrastructure, step by step.
