Working on walletbeat, an L2Beat for Ethereum wallets.
Inspired by @VitalikButerin in one of his blog posts.
Who watches the wallets?

It was great evaluating @ambire!
IMO, it’s a wallet to watch in the coming months / years. Really happy to see their growth
It’s also clear the team is trying to make progress
There are also easy to achieve improvements in our breakdown that could make a big difference :)

Help watch the wallets contributing verified wallet data 👇
Anyone in the Ethereum community can contribute data to Walletbeat to help users understand how CROPS maps to wallets.
At this @EFDevcon workshop, @0xmattmatt will guide you through contributing one verified wallet attribute end to end.

How does Ambire stack up against Walletbeat's attributes?
What's good, what could be better, and where are the gaps?

@TrustWallet is now listed on @walletbeat!
Great timing as I heard the team is looking for feedbacks 🤓

Software supply chain directly impacts wallets' security, and therefore user funds' security. A compromised dependency in a wallet means a compromised wallet, which means compromised users.
@polymutex joins @EFDevcon to explore how should wallets protect against software supply chain attacks

Privacy is where wallets have to make the most progress.
Was true when I started working on Walletbeat, still true now.
Turns out it's not just the hardest part of wallet dev, it's also the hardest part of wallet rating :)
Huge work by @0xMattmatt pouring over network data.
Over the past few weeks, @walletbeat has been finalizing the full ratings of the top 5 wallets
The last piece was Privacy. How well does your wallet protect it?
Most aren't doing well (surprised?)
Plenty of room for improvement! Let's push the wallet ecosystem forward :)
This but for every @Walletbeat attribute
Who's building this?

Walletbeat is heading to Mumbai for @EFDevcon!
We’ll be showcasing how we evaluate Ethereum wallets, what goes into their ratings, and how our findings are helping improve the wallet ecosystem.
Come visit us at our booth!
See how wallets get rated, what the data means, and what wallets have changed because of it 👇

> They pulled IP addresses for Etherscan accounts that were tracking node rewards, figuring anyone watching a node was probably running one.
> Then they matched those against Verizon’s addresses for the Southern District.

If you get an email with a PGP-encrypted payload, do not quote the decrypted message verbatim in a cleartext reply.
Twice now that the EF respond to my email and leaks my KYC details this way. 🫠
Better opsec required.

Choosing a wallet also means choosing how your privacy and security are handled.
@polymutex leads @walletbeat, a project that helps people examine Ethereum wallets and the choices behind them.
That work makes it easier to ask informed questions about the tools we use, rather than relying on their promises.
We’re welcoming polymutex to Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3.

The only things worth building are the ones that keep working after everyone walks away.
