Founder and CEO @ Canary / ex Vp of eng @ Ondo https://xitter.cf/t.co/aFxuQ6Hcaf

A new milestone for Ondo: $4 billion in TVL. From tokenized Treasuries to tokenized stocks, ETFs, portfolios & private markets, Ondo is expanding access with every asset class. Behind the $4 billion TVL milestone: → $1.3B+ in tokenized stocks & ETFs → #1 platform for tokenized U.S. Treasuries → 1M+ cumulative holders across products That growth reflects innovations in how tokenized assets trade, including Ondo Stocks tapping TradFi exchange liquidity through RFQ. Leading wallets and apps put that liquidity within reach, enabling permissionless transfers across Solana, Ethereum and BNB Chain. This milestone is an early sign of the scale ahead as tokenization transforms how the world accesses financial markets. Think in trillions.

50b+ secured by canary!
Q3 2026 alone carried more secured volume and more messages than every quarter before it combined. This is Canary's record as of 6 October 2026, with nearly two years in production, 100% uptime and zero security incidents.

Cosigner is the missing piece to bringing Trillions on chain, security that is verifiable and dependable!

The response to cipher has been crazy, apps want customised bespoke security and we are building it together with them! Coming October 1st!
Cipher is coming to an app near you. The response to Cipher has been overwhelming. Teams across stablecoins, RWAs, and onchain finance are bringing Canary into their most critical flows, and we are building the unique verification capabilities each integration demands. Previously announced for September 7, will now go live on October 1. Nothing is required from applications.

Always knew our destiny was to bring Tether, everywhere: Total value moved: $107B+ 3 months: $10B+ 30 days: $4B+ 7 days: $1B+ Stats brought to you by our transportation department last week.

Security is a boring business and if done right, no one will even know you exist, but its the hardest to build and keep up with

1/6 Canary started because I did not think existing bridge security was good enough. Bridging is one of the hardest problems in crypto, and they still get drained because too much value depends on infrastructure that was never built for trillions.

5/6 Cipher takes Canary from keys to real verification. Before signing, Canary can check reserves, burns, mints, collateral, APIs, anomalies, high-value transfers, and eventually ZK proofs verified onchain. If it should be checked before value moves, Cipher checks it.

6/6 Canary has already secured $30B+ in cross-chain value, signed 1M+ messages, and is used by nearly 400 apps. This is still the beginning. Canary is being built for stablecoins, RWAs, and the next trillion onchain. Cipher is coming.

Did someone say independent dvn without mentioning Canary DVN?
Replying to @BuildOnStellar
RFP 1: Stellar-compatible LayerZero DVN. The ask is for teams already operating production DVNs on LayerZero V2 to extend their verification service to Stellar. More independent DVNs means more choice for omnichain apps and assets settling through Stellar.

Canary is literally more secure than any singular interop provider - LayerZero - Chainlink - Wormhole but only one of them lets you stack it up with other verifiers LayerZero
Attacks used to unfold at human speed, and defenses could too. That era is over. AI probes, adapts and executes faster than any human team can convene. The industry's defence is still the alert: detect, page a human, respond. Every month that response window shrinks. A defence built on reaction is a defence built to lose the race. Canary does not race the attacker. It removes the race. Verification happens before settlement, so there is no window to beat. A faster attack still fails a reserve check. A smarter attack still fails attestation. Persuasion, urgency and impersonation, the tools that break humans, do not parse here. An AI cannot talk a hardware-attested quorum into signing a failed reserve check.The faster attacks become, the further the after-the-fact industry falls behind. Monitoring is a witness, not a guard.

It genuinely surprises me that projects think that by moving from one interop to another, you get *more* security. Real security has to be built and backed by cryptography and strong principles!

15B+ in a single year, 100+ applications using Canary, whats your excuse?
You don't have to trust Canary. Just look at the +$15B that already did.

Nate was one of the most hardworking, passionate founder the industry has ever seen and it was a pleasure working with him and learning from him. I am in shock like many others. Nate will be missed a lot, my condolences to his family and loved ones. RIP
It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated. Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team. We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

Its time to move away from private key only security and embrace Canary MFA. There is no way to prevent private key compromises and rotating keys help but MFA is the ultimate security.
Over the weekend, we identified an attack on Chaos Labs. The surface area was strictly contained to operational wallets we use for routine onchain operations. At no point was the Chaos Oracle Network breached or compromised. Chaos Oracles run in a fully isolated environment with nodes distributed globally, protected by layered security and cryptographic controls. The oracles continued to publish prices across every network throughout the incident. We allocate a substantial share of our operating budget to cyber defense, alerting, and detection. These detection systems alerted us within seconds of suspicious activity, and we immediately moved to full lockdown. Our incident response policy treats any threat as the worst-case scenario by default, given the value secured by the Chaos infrastructure. With the backdrop of recent exploits, we triggered our highest-severity incident response from the moment we were alerted and notified relevant partners. The authorities and cyber professionals working with us have characterized the activity as consistent with nation-state attacks. As a precautionary measure, we rotated all keys, and have not observed any suspicious activity since. The investigation continues, and we will share more as it allows.
