When we started building support for AWS Nitro, I was surprised that the go library every tutorial recommended hadn't had any updates for 4 years at the time and wasn't going to meet the bar we set for ourselves at @Anchorage. When we had something that worked, we open sourced it and had AWS double, triple check our work too.
It's more important than ever to have strong verifiable cryptographic proof of running what you expect to be running.
Having gone deep in every TEE stack out there, I have to commend @awscloud for building the best experience with Nitro for developers to get started with because you get the full PCRs and attestation right off it. And @turnkeyhq's QuorumOS builds a very strong layer for apps on top of the foundation.
We deliberately kept the dependencies limited to stdlib and cbor, and urfave for a nice CLI. Consequently, it trivially compiles to wasm for verifying nitro attestations outside of a CLI in even more constrained environments too.
“Trust us” is not a security model.
VisualSign Parser runs inside @awscloud Nitro Enclaves and returns every parsed transaction with cryptographic proof of the exact code that produced it.
Built with @turnkeyhq. Fully open source.

AI coding agents are growing codebases faster than traditional CI pipelines can handle. When code generation becomes effortless, developer experience breaks in new ways. anchorage.com/research/when-…

A while back, the engineering team at @Anchorage was digging into Solana transaction parsing for institutional flows. The existing parsers in Rust brought a lot of dependencies for very little gain. Around the same time, Turnkey had written a lighter-weight parser — authored, of all people, by Omkar, who worked with us at Anchorage previously.
Small world. Lean, understandable code. One problem: it wasn't usable as a library yet for what eventually became visualsign-parser. So I sent in an open-source fix to make it one, and Omkar and I started trading notes again on what else needed sharpening.
Those conversations are what eventually turned into the Turnkey collaboration where we co-designed aspects of Turnkey Verifiable Cloud to deploy visualsign-parser. We have collaborated on improving Anchor IDL parsing functionality as well as strengthening the testing coverage in the parsers with ongoing work on Fuzzing and Property testing. While we were geeking out on the nuances of parsers, someone with better business sense on our side floated, "what if this is the path to real DeFi support on Solana for institutions?"
From there it was: building a proprietary browser extension that lets institutions interact with the full Solana DeFi ecosystem from a Porto account. Swaps, program upgrades, yield, governance — all signed against infra that meets our institutional grade standard.
Institutions have a safe, secure way to access Solana DeFi.
@solana & @turnkey: Thanks for the great collab.

I'm working on giving AI agents access to payment systems. It's incredible how much is being built in this space right now. Reach out to us at agentic@anchorage.com if you have agents that need access to make crypto and fiat payments and to manage money.
Out of everything I've read about software architecture, the most important thing is to have a "domain layer". It doesn't matter who your preferred software architecture guru is. They'll all tell you that you need one of these. viktorstanchev.com/posts/gua…
This is why you should care about the UIs of transaction signing devices. Full talk at: youtube.com/watch?v=Mjd3kFm2…
What you see is (supposed to be) what you sign. But let’s be real: most users see “0x8e…4b” and cross their fingers. Viktor Stanchev (@Vikstrous), Founding Engineer at Anchorage Digital and I dove into this at Eth Taipei.
Do you get stuck when trying to make large code refactors across a whole codebase? I've been refactoring a monorepo regularly for years and I have some tips to share.

[1/16] The real world is large, and we want our AI models to operate on the scale of reality.
Over the past two years, my colleagues and I have developed fVDB, a deep learning framework for large-scale, high performance spatial intelligence.
We finally announced this work at SIGGRAPH and have released the framework in early access. Here’s a small tour of what fVDB is, and what we’ve used it to do.

What have missed? What are your experiences with/without global state?
This is the project I've been working on lately. I can talk about now that it's public :)

This #golang package I wrote is useful to anyone building #graphql servers in Go. It has a nicer interface than other data loader packages and works just as well or better.
