1/ MiCA final voting will happen this April. But what the hell is MiCA? Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) is the main regulation in the EU (European Union). 👨🏻⚖️ Let's discuss how it can affect the industry and what is it all about.

Understanding secp256k1 and Its Implementation in Ethereum and Bitcoin
1/6 Seckp256k1 is an elliptic curve cryptographic algorithm that plays a crucial role in both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Let's dive into how it works and how it has been implemented in these blockchain networks.

web3 security is more than just audits and bug bounties. In a landscape where new attack vectors evolve daily, we need continuous security integration.

we're redefining security systems for the entire development and mainnet lifecycle to help you build
privacy matters.
here is how PETs (Privacy Enhancing Technologies) such as zero-knowledge proofs, secure multi-party computation, homomorphic encryption, and decentralized identifiers are solving privacy and data security dilemmas in web3 and not only.
web3 protocol devs - consider integrating security testing tooling into your CI and not relying solely on security audits
security researchers - consider building proper security tooling, rather than focus solely on providing security services and posting another audit
Controversial take: Tooling is far more impactful for security than teaching/writing.
People use stuff that makes their life easier. Low-skill devs may not read about the safe way to handle ERC4626 rounding, but they will grab OZ's code all day long.
I will be mentoring on

Hey security frens and protocol devs! I’m currently making a research on the state of security reviews in web3 and I have 2 big question for you all:
1) What are the most and least valuable parts of security review final report you are looking/not looking for?
2) What parts
We are currently planning a series of Rust & Web3 Sec workshops / AMAs with OGs / interviews for

Onchain audits can solve many problems in our market. And that’s the topic that we’ve been researching for past couple of weeks. Excited to finally release it!🫡
Security should be a crowdsourced effort, not a centralized one.
Traditional security reviews, while important, can't replace the feedback from a wide pool of users.
The power to scour, detect, and identify potential threats lies in a collective.

- Compiles to high-performance native code
