Je ne sais pas si vous mesurez ce qui est en train de se passer. Alex Karp, le patron de Palantir, ne va plus chercher ses talents à Harvard. Il les forme lui-même. Des jeunes de 18 ans, sans diplôme, choisis sur leur seul talent, qui codent sur de vrais projets et lisent de la philosophie politique entre deux sprints. Il appelle ça « le diplôme Palantir ». Et aujourd'hui le New York Post titre que les boîtes tech lancent leurs propres programmes parce qu'elles ne peuvent plus compter sur l'Ivy League. Ce n'est pas une anecdote RH. C'est un basculement de civilisation. Pendant des décennies, les entrepreneurs ont confié à l'université la mission la plus sacrée qui soit : former les esprits. Ils comprennent aujourd'hui que cette mission a été trahie. Les institutions censées produire des penseurs libres produisent des conformistes. Le mérite a été remplacé par des critères opaques. L'enseignement est devenu catéchisme. Paul Graham l'avait vu avant tout le monde. Alors ils font ce que font les bâtisseurs quand un système les trahit. Ils ne le réforment pas. Ils en construisent un autre, à côté. Elon n'a pas attendu que la NASA se réveille, il a fait SpaceX. Il n'a pas réformé les médias, il a racheté la place publique. Les entrepreneurs ne cherchent plus à convaincre l'État. Ils font l'État, partout où l'État a abdiqué. Relisez La Grève d'Ayn Rand. Nous y sommes. Les bureaucrates gardent les titres, les budgets, les bâtiments. Mais ils perdent la seule chose qui compte : la confiance. Aux États-Unis, à peine 28 % des gens font encore confiance aux médias. Un plus bas historique. Plus personne ne croit ceux qui prétendent nous dire quoi penser. On entend partout que l'école est finie. Je pense exactement l'inverse. Ce n'est pas l'école qui est morte. Ce sont les institutions qui l'ont confisquée. L'école, la vraie, celle de l'Académie d'Athènes, des ateliers de la Renaissance, du maître et de l'apprenti, va renaître. Plus exigeante. Plus juste. Sans dette, sans dogme, sans diplôme comme rente à vie. Une école qui ne fabriquera plus des diplômés, mais des polymathes. Des esprits libres, capables de coder, de penser, de construire et de douter. Ce sont eux qui créeront la valeur des cinquante prochaines années. J'ai appris à coder seul à 12 ans. Aucun amphi ne m'a appris ce que j'ai appris en construisant. Je sais ce que devient un talent quand on le laisse respirer. L'université a eu des siècles pour former les meilleurs esprits. Les entrepreneurs vont le faire en une décennie. La grande reconstruction a commencé.

Back in March @nft_dreww and I warned about the risk of Magic Eden smart contract approvals as they began shutting down EVM ops Last night a team of the good guys led by @0xQuit proactively rescued $6 million of NFTs that were at risk due to approvals Talking about security isn’t sexy until something goes wrong. Well guess what? Something really wrong could have and did happen here. If your NFTs were rescued last night it should be a massive wake up call to improve your personal security. Go revoke those approvals, keep your long term holdings in wallets with no approvals whatsoever. When you plan to sell, move each NFT to a specific wallet dedicated for selling to separate your approvals risk from your vault And while I have your attention, hardware wallets and multisigs are still great, keep storing your seed phrases offline too. Security doesn’t need to be scary or difficult, it can be quite simple and work. You just need to own it!
I keep talking about this because it is super important If you ever sold NFTs on ETH or L2s with Magic Eden you need to revoke approvals. Specifically, if you still hold an NFT from a collection you sold on there it may be vulnerable as ME shuts down support for some products.

Congrats to the OZ team!!
Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin. Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them. With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks. To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools: • OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority. • Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach. For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.

BitGo is joining the @Cosmos Partner Network to help global financial players accelerate digital asset initiatives. Tokenization only works when banks can move from pilot to production without stitching together vendors on their own. The Partner Network brings together the custody, compliance, and infrastructure providers institutions need to make that leap in a digital-first market. Learn more: prnewswire.com/news-releases…

Either @AnthropicAI is terrible at building sandboxes... or excellent at marketing. (or both) But enough with the “we created a hacking monster” games. Do it for real. I put this in an @BitGo wallet for you. Go get it. 100 BTC: bc1qg4jcyumevszta3rs869v9jrf6rz9z360svp03jsl5xcryfd7xqvs4hurnq
In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations. Our post describes what happened, how it happened, and what we’re changing. We encourage other AI developers to perform similar reviews. We conducted this review together with @Irregular, one of our evaluation partners, and thank them for the joint investigation and their collaboration on this post. This type of collaboration is increasingly critical to safe, rigorous evaluation of models, and we look forward to continuing to work together on security. anthropic.com/news/investiga…

One of the absolute greats. Well done, sir. Well done indeed.
After 6 years I’m leaving @Coinbase. I’ll be transitioning to an advisory role at the end of the month and continue my service on the Board of Coinbase National Trust Company.

The launch adds a Quantum Risk Score, a guided workflow to move funds off exposed addresses, a new UTXO selection method, and updated default address type controls, all built on the multi-sig architecture BitGo pioneered. While practical quantum attacks against Bitcoin are not available today, these capabilities help institutions reduce and eliminate exposure before it becomes an operational issue.

Why does splitting a large trade across pools cost treasury operators more, not less? @strao_, Head of Product at Eco, on the failure cases hidden in multi-step execution, and what routing pooled liquidity in a single transaction fixes.
