Officer’s Notes

GM folks, please please please never ever download any PDF or install any software during a call with VC. Two CEO’s of a Defi Protocols got hacked in this way, lucky they engaged with me and rata0x and we managed to recover nearly 1m$ stolen assets. However, if they wouldn’t install the app during the meeting, they wouldn’t lose over 5m$… Since I stated to assist and engage with more hacking and stolen assets, I will share my first hand experience for better on-chain security of you. Rata0x and I are here to help.. Our mission has recovered over $100M so far.

That'd be awesome, though I'm pretty bad at getting out the door since I WFH. In Denver I found out that's pretty common for crypto Bostonians - I met so many people from the industry living within a few miles of me that have never been to any local meetups.

I caught one of the first Farcaster Boston meetups, but haven't been since. What's the best way to keep up to date on future vents - Boston DAO Telegram?

Wallet teams talk to people devasted by losses and theft all the time - we advise them not to say anything publicly. I used to tell people they should share their experiences to help prevent others from going through the same thing, but other security professionals told me groups exist which retarget victims.

There's been discussion on this today and our preference is to put it and EIP 191 version E behind a bunch of warning prompts - tell people explicitly it's a bad idea, but allow power users to take the risk if they insist and click through multiple times. Open to feedback on this.

At a high level, it's very likely we can support this with the new device we're releasing at year end. We've been tackling how a new kind of hardware wallet can securely manage SCAs, agent wallets, and new software approaches in general. I'll reach out to give you a preview for feedback if you're up for it.

8/ Our team at gridplus.io focused on this specific problem early on because we realized legacy BTC HW wallets didn't protect us as Ethereum users. Our first step was introducing hardware clear signing for EVM transactions, but fully addressing this requires broad collaboration.

9/ This isn't about Bybit or any one hack. It's about fixing a glaringly obvious problem with all of crypto. We must make crypto transactions easily verifiable by every single user to prevent these types of exploits from impacting all of us at this scale.

7/ Crypto has grown too important to rely on outdated security solutions we already know leave us all exposed to risk. We all need to collaborate and coordinate to address this problem. If we don't, no mythical killer app will get us the mass adoption we're building for.

6/ The only real solution is easily readable signing on secure hardware, displayed on a secure screen. There's no solution using only phones or computers: everyone needs a fully independent, tamper-resistant way to verify exactly what they’re approving.

5/ This isn't just about big exchanges and onchain treasuries. This impacts us all - 1 out of 5 crypto users have lost funds due to private key exploits. The industry tells users it's their responsibility to educate themselves and be more careful instead of fixing the problem.

4/ If we don’t fix this, we’ll keep seeing bigger and bigger exploits. Minor positive steps -air-gapping, MPC, AA wallets, better signing flows- cannot solve this alone. Transactions must be verifiable on secure hardware, by humans, in a trustless way.
