Today, @almanax transitions from beta to general availability (GA). What happens when the number of lines of code engineers produce goes up 100x thanks for coding assistants like Cursor? How are security teams supposed to handle that? We believe AI will change security the same way it’s changing software engineering. Almanax is an AI security engineer designed to help security teams prevent hacks. Sign up on app.almanax.ai and integrate LLMs in your security processes.

"But it's that the real reason? No! It's actually that he wants to leave the possibility of 'I can do it if I try it' open, by not committing to anything" This one hit hard

Almanax 🤝 Aptos @almanax brings its AI Security Engineer to the Aptos ecosystem. Code vulnerabilities have historically led to billions of dollars stolen in hacks. In collaboration with the Aptos Foundation, we aim to elevate security standards within the Aptos ecosystem, fostering safer, quicker, and more reliable blockchain development for both startups and institutions. Through this integration, all projects building on the Aptos blockchain can now access the product and run free scans at app.almanax.ai. Selected Aptos ecosystem projects will also receive complimentary premium licenses. We're on a mission to stop software exploits and excited to work with partners who share our vision.

Why I Don’t Invest (Much) in DeFi Six years in crypto, yet DeFi still holds less than 1 % of my portfolio. Occasionally I might try a new protocol, lend tokens or add liquidity to a pool, but it’s almost never more than a few thousands dollars. I asked a bunch of my friends and investors in the industry and this seems to be a recurring pattern. Most of them also have a very small percentage of their net worth in DeFi. Why? 👇 I published the full blog on @paragraph https://paragraph.com/@francesco/why-i-dont-invest-much-in-defi

If I were building anything touching users' money today, supply-chain attacks like this one would be what keeps me up at night. https://x.com/AlmanaxAI/status/1922355263354401268

Starting from this week, @almanax will offer offer $300 in security scan credits to the top 10 mini-apps on the leaderboard each week for the next 3 months. In practice, this means multiple full scans of mini-apps’ repos + continuous monitoring of code changes for 3 months, to prevent security vulnerabilities from making it to production. The product is self-service: https://app.almanax.ai/ To claim the prize, projects can DM me directly at the end of each cycle and I'll apply their credits. We believe mini-apps will be instrumental to drive the growth of the ecosystem, and we're excited to support their builders!

This is incredible work by Kraken. “Not all attackers break in, some try to walk through the front door” https://x.com/coindesk/status/1918380370896073190?s=46&t=a16OBx1OV2RbvWl1HoCCGQ
