You may have heard that 2023 is the year of ZK. There will be many protocols utilizing ZK and they all need fast and cost-efficient ZK Proofs. Ulvetanna fills this need.
By the transitive property, this means 2023 is the year of Ulvetanna 🔥
Announcing our $15M Seed Round co-led by @BainCapCrypto & @paradigm with participation from @jump_ , @CrusoeEnergy & @robotventures

Legal processes make crypto seem like downright child's play. Fortunately, we have @TuongvyLe12 to ELI5 the SBF/FTX/Alameda legal situation, why it hasn't resolved yet, and what is likely happening behind the scenes.
How will the legal process for SBF and FTX play out? @BainCapCrypto partner @tuongvyle12 joins Unchained to discuss:
🔒 why SBF hasn’t been arrested
😈 allegations that SBF/FTX manipulated Terra & Luna
🏦 how this case differs from the Madoff case

Fast & Crypto: Our new episode with @0xMagmar is out! 🍿🎥
Maghnus is the co-founder of @SkipProtocol, a project that amplifies the effects of good MEV and reduces bad MEV on the Cosmos Ecosystem.
Skip is already live on @JunoNetwork & @EvmosOrg, and more are on the way! 👇
DAOs are a an incredible tool for facilitating on-chain organization, governance, and community. But they've generally lacked privacy - a key component for authentic voting, payroll, fundraising, and more.
Nucleo solves this. Very excited to be working with this team.
We are proud to announce that @gonucleo has completed a $4 million seed round to develop private multi-sig infrastructure for any organization to go web3-native.

By trying to regulate both cefi and defi all at once, we’ve delayed some of the most necessary and obvious cefi regulations that COULD have and SHOULD have easily passed by now, and would have prevented or mitigated some of the blowups that have occurred this year. Some examples:

We have incredible opportunities across our portfolio @BainCapCrypto and @BainCapVC at the frontier of crypto, check them out here: jobs.baincapitalcrypto.com/c…
Duality is a great example of what developers can do building as an app-chain with full stack controls for DeFi. The capital efficiency is best in class. And to top it all off - instant security through ATOM's ICS mechanism so that they can be trusted from day 1.
Today, we unveil Duality, the DEX that gives Liquidity Providers superpowers. The next generation exchange is now coming to Cosmos.

How should we place trades in a batched decentralized exchange where all swaps of a given pair in each block are executed at the same price?

A great thread on the Cosmos ecosystem - what it is, why it's important, and the tradeoffs it makes.
Cosmos: A Builder’s Thesis
With a market cap of 59B across 74 chains, The Interchain is growing fast with titans like @dYdX moving from Starkware to Cosmos to build “the best product possible"
Should you build on Cosmos, anon? Let’s dig in!
Gotta rename Skip and change the 'k' to an 'h' because all they do is Ship.
Congrats on this huge development!
Absolutely thrilled to be partnering with @0xMagmar and @BPIV400 as they build @SkipProtocol. We have been consistently impressed with and confident in their technical execution, user-centric values, and ability to learn and adapt in an incredibly dynamic market. 1/
This means the money stays on-chain. It is shared with validators, with the protocol, and with stakers so that the whole community benefits from MEV capture. This can increase decentralization, security, and staking yields. 12/
