Great talking to Jackson from @TheStreet Roundtable at Ondo Summit about @EstateProtocol and what we’re doing
📽️ WATCH: Estate Protocol CEO Parv Prabhakar says tokenizing only 10% of the U.S. real estate unlocks $7 trillion in liquidity.
Interview by Jackson H.
@EstateProtocol
i tasked my agent to find me a sublet in nyc and after a while it started messaging people on japanese and other counties’ craigslists in their local languages which surprised some people
friend’s bday was last night --> he ordered a few pies from L’Industrie for pick up. I live nearby so I offered to grab them but when I got there they had no record of the order
I call him - he says he used Instinct to place the order
turns out L’Industrie wasn’t taking orders, so the agent found some random third party listing + placed it through Toast. he even got a Toast confirmation email w pickup time, pricing, etc (luckily it never actually charged him)
I show them the confirmation and they’re like “we don’t have an integration w/ Toast - however you did this pls don’t do it again” 💀
maybe the “find a solution no matter what” part of agents isn’t always great when the solution it finds is fabricated 🤣
claude would refuse to tell me what my meds are called in a new country for bio risk but would help houthis make self correcting ballistic missiles?
is this alignment?
Anthropic admits Houthis used Claude AI instead of weapons engineers to make rockets and ballistic missiles that correct themselves after missing targets trib.al/K0xxryJ
what happens to math money when math gets automated?
Today I call upon the blockchain industry to calmly begin planning for "bunker mode". My personal recommendation is to set in motion a controlled mass migration of assets to fresh addresses, i.e. addresses whose pubkeys remain hidden behind a hash.
Holders, starting with large and sophisticated ones, should consider moving the bulk of their funds to addresses that have never signed a transaction. And when they do sign one, they should also move remaining funds to a new address (possibly generated from the same seed phrase).
Don't rush. While I believe there is cause for action a rushed migration would do more harm than good. Don't panic either. Moving assets to protected addresses is a simple, preventative step which does not require new cryptography or new wallets.
IMO it is now reasonable to brace for the possibility that ECDSA breaks before qday, in the worst case in months not years. By "break" I mean fast private key recovery (e.g. in one week) on available hardware (e.g. a large GPU cluster).
Recent days have been humbling for human mathematical intuition. Long-held, unquestioned hypotheses have fallen. This includes the n log(n) bound for integer multiplication and the 3SUM conjecture. In hindsight, May's unexpected disproof of the Erdős unit distance conjecture was our warning shot.
Yesterday's OpenAI drop made it clear that mathematical superintelligence is upon us. They say there are weeks where decades happen. We are about to live through weeks where centuries of mathematical progress happen. Could our magic 64-byte ECDSA signatures be too good to be true? Was it just security through obscurity all this time?
Elliptic curves feel especially vulnerable to superintelligence. Curves carry rich structure, with room for fancy tricks like Schoof, Frobenius, pairings. (By contrast, hashes are designed to minimise algebraic structure.)
Separately, as Ewin Tang can attest, an efficient quantum algorithm sometimes foreshadows an efficient classical one. We should be open to the possibility of a classical counterpart to Shor that breaks elliptic curves and RSA at once.
Also noteworthy is the striking under-representation of cryptographic breakthroughs among the 722 mathematical results OpenAI published. I've witnessed first-hand the US government censoring academic quantum cryptanalysis results. Backroom interventionism is my base case.
I urge large, sophisticated actors to lead by example. Project11's "risq list" (bitcoin-risq-list.projecteleven[.]com) is a great tracker of exposed BTC pubkeys. Binance, Bitbank, Robinhood, Bitfinex, and Tether have an opportunity to harden their cold storage. Next month I'll address institutions in London in a live Q&A (forum.ethereuminstitutional[.]org/london-2026).
Again, please do not rush. Wallets holding under 50 BTC enjoy partial cover from "Satoshi's shield", i.e. his 20K exposed addresses that hold 50 BTC each. Load-bearing signers like oracles and L2 security councils should consider rotating ECDSA pubkeys with every signed message and/or multi-signing with a hash-based schemes like SPHINCS.
Exiting bunker mode safely will require post-AI cryptography. My inclination is to go all-in on hash-based cryptography and avoid structured mathematical assumptions entirely, whether from curves, lattices, or isogenies. A single battle-tested hash (e.g. from the SHA or BLAKE families) yields plausible post-AI security.
The Ethereum roadmap on strawmap[.]org fully embraces hash-based cryptography with end-to-end formal verification as a response to the quantum threat. Those timelines must now be revisited and accelerated in light of mathematical superintelligence. I'll be pushing for maximum defensive acceleration.
starting a monkey brokering business
sourcing from the global south and selling to chinese and american labs
50%+ margins, massive TAM
who wants in?
In case you missed it, monkeys are now a bottleneck.
Large contract research organizations — including WuXi AppTec, Pharmaron Beijing, and Joinn Laboratories — run their own breeding farms specifically to guarantee access for themselves and their clients.
Joinn Laboratories issued a profit alert in July, flagging up to 13-fold jump in net profit for the first half of the year — driven largely by the rising market value of "biological assets" - their monkeys.
for the average person, this makes life significantly more difficult
but you’re not an average person
This is the best way forward
Govt can create a zk proof issuance portal. Call it zkGOV
Connect wallet, submit KYC once, wallet’s now verified
Prove to an RWA issuer or trading venue your wallet is registered with the govt, trade permissioned assets freely
In case of compliance issues, regulators would reach out to zkGOV directly
MUCH lower cost of issuance, lower liability, deeper liquidity pools, and less sanctions evasion
Make it happen already!
nyc is crazy cuz you’d randomly come across people posting videos of the building you used to live in because the most powerful people in the world are hanging around right there
So now that we know
1. SEC wants issuer consent and permissioned access
2. Issuers go through the brain damage of tokenization mostly to increase distribution, similar to tbill distribution with stablecoins
3. Distribution gains will mostly come from non-US markets as most US persons already have access.
Participants can think of a coherent market structure, probably with regulated onshore access points with offshore distribution, with space in between for bridges.
onchain eurodollars are evolving into onchain eurostocks
if issuers can object, most versions of tokenized equities cannot be traded on TSVs
native tokenization is the way
Pending the details, the conditions for how a Tokenized Securities Venue will work are great (below, from Chair Atkins statement, you can read here sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-st…):
- Sanctions Compliance: A TSV must be a U.S. person and comply with economic and trade sanctions programs administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control.
- Permissioned Access: A TSV must set standards of access to allow only certain participants to trade tokenized NMS stock on the TSV.
- No Synthetics: TSVs can trade tokenized NMS stocks that are tokenized by, or on behalf of, the issuer of the underlying NMS stock or a security tokenized by a third party that is unaffiliated with the issuer of the underlying NMS stock. Such tokenized NMS stock must provide holders with the same rights and privileges as the traditional securities, including rights to receive dividends and exercise voting rights.
- Issuers Can Object: Issuers must have the opportunity to object and prevent their security from trading on a TSV.
