Claude just dropped 13 FREE AI courses (with certificates). No $500 course needed. No “guru” required. Just real skills — straight from Anthropic. Here’s the full list: 👇 1. Claude 101   lnkd.in/gCPUQsRg 2. AI Fluency: Frameworks & Foundations   lnkd.in/gS6ceZ_M 3. Introduction to Agent Skills   lnkd.in/g_wWNiEb 4. Building with the Claude API   lnkd.in/gDr5K_B4 5. Claude Code in Action   lnkd.in/g9wWZbK9 6. Introduction to Model Context Protocol   lnkd.in/gAj5HqMY 7. MCP: Advanced Topics   lnkd.in/g3eDwBFY 8. AI Fluency for Students   lnkd.in/gKKujHGG 9. AI Fluency for Educators   lnkd.in/gVcKnuhA 10. Teaching AI Fluency   lnkd.in/g9P4gJFM 11. AI Fluency for Nonprofits   lnkd.in/gpsm_BVf 12. Claude with Amazon Bedrock   lnkd.in/gbfPjSFt 13. Claude with Google Vertex AI   lnkd.in/gvVgB4Ub — If you go through even HALF of these… You’ll be ahead of 95% of people using AI. Most people won’t. Because they’re still: • Watching random YouTube videos • Buying overpriced courses • “Learning AI” without actually building Don’t be that person. Do this instead: 1. Save this post (you’ll come back to it) 2. Pick 1 course → start today 3. Share it with someone who needs this Free. Practical. No excuses.

Earlier today, a malicious actor gained unauthorized access to Drift Protocol through a novel attack involving durable nonces, resulting in a rapid takeover of Drift’s Security Council administrative powers. This was a highly sophisticated operation that appears to have involved multi-week preparation and staged execution, including the use of durable nonce accounts to pre-sign transactions that delayed execution.

카이아 테스트넷 이용 경험이 없는 사람은 알파섹에 입금 시작조차 힘들 것 같아서, 간단한 가이드 배포합니다.(링크는 댓글에) 1⃣메타마스크나 OKX 월렛 준비 카이아월렛 지원 안 하는데... 해 줄 거지?@AlphaSec_Trade 가이드는 대중적인 메타마스크로 진행함 2⃣메타마스크에 카이아 테스트넷(카이로스)를 추가 Kaia Kairos Testnet public-en-kairos.node.kaia.i… 1001 KAIA kairos.kaiascan.io 3⃣카이아 수도꼭지(Faucet)로 들어가서 주소 입력 후 카이아 50개 수령 처음이면 카이아로 받기 테더로 받으면 가스비로 쓸 카이아가 없어서 아무것도 못 함 수도꼭지는 1개 월렛 당 24시간에 1번만 사용 가능 만약 USDT로 받았다면, 다른 월렛으로 KAIA 수령 후 메인으로 쓸 월렛으로 보내기 4⃣ 알파섹에서 Deposit 카이아 입금시 MAX로 땡겨서 하면 가스비로 쓸 KAIA가 없어서 실행 불가 에러 뜨니까, 대충 숫자 조금 깎아서 입력할 것. 따라했는데 잘 안 되는 거 있으면 알파섹이나 카이아 디코로 ㄱㄱ Bullish on @KaiaChain
카이아의 차기 유동성 엔진 알파섹@AlphaSec_Trade 에서 초기 OG 사용자 한정 디스코드 롤을 부여하는 이벤트를 진행 중입니다. 테스트넷에서 거래 하시던가, 트윗으로 인용 및 댓글 달며 야핑해주시면 될 것 같습니다. 뭐 하나 돈 드는 것이 없기 때문에, 미리 따 놓으시길 권합니다. @KaiaChain
