Hold my Ledger. Not today, scammer! Most crypto scams don't steal keys. They talk the victim into sending the money themselves. SecondLook makes big or unusual transfers wait for a trusted guardian to sign off on their Ledger. #SecondLook #LedgerN3XTCollab

What will it take for DeFi lending to go mainstream? Join us on Oct 12 with Ayman Baba, Lead of Capital & Partnership at Avant, to explore how institutions are entering DeFi and what’s next for on-chain finance. 📍 NYU Leslie eLab | 2:30 PM luma.com/8r97y7qb

NYU Blockchain Lab hosted @chainlink yesterday for a fireside with @RomanTirones Biggest takeaway for students: Build your personal brand. Contribute to ecosystems. Make your work findable. Credentials open doors. Output opens careers. Packed room, great questions, real energy. #NYUBlockchainLab #Chainlink #Web3

Last Monday, NYU Blockchain Lab hosted @thomassb1625, Smart Contracts Lead @OndoFinance, for a fireside chat on RWA infrastructure and on-chain finance. Three things we took away: 1. Deploying the same asset across multiple chains is genuinely hard. Every chain has different logic, different code, and different bridging requirements. The engineering lift is real. 2. Ondo's security model assumes every layer could be compromised. The answer isn't to trust any single component; it's multi-layered verification, so no single failure takes down the system. 3. Thomas's advice to builders: go deep into the code. Most people stay on the surface. The ones who understand what's actually happening underneath will be rare and valuable. Thank you, @Thomas and the @OndoFinance team. 🙏 #RWA #DeFi #SmartContracts #Web3

Great blockchain talk & fireside chat with Jim Hwang, co-founder & COO of Firinne Capital, at NYU Blockchain Lab. We discussed how crypto markets are structurally evolving: - lower volatility regimes - derivatives dominating price discovery - ETF-driven institutional flows - increasingly mature market structure One idea that stood out: Short-term price action may increasingly be driven by liquidity, derivatives, and positioning, while long-term conviction around Bitcoin’s decentralization and store-of-value narrative can still coexist. Also appreciated Jim’s perspective on focusing on “quality” in crypto: not just hype, but whether projects are actually solving problems and creating real value. Thanks again, Jim, for the thoughtful discussion.
