Was great to be on! One great conclusion, recovery is the most important to solve! Make sure to follow us to see how we are solving this!
Hot hot topic! Self custody is too hard for newbs. What needs to change???
With @SamWestrich of @Dashpay, Bastien CEO of @satochip, @staycloakedxyz CEO @blainemalone, @ovanwijk building @nihiliumio and moderated by Mr. Unbanked himself @TheDesertLynx

#CommonS3nse concluded! Great panels and even better conversations. The reason why all of crypto started, very much alive.

Crypto is secure, and it feels unsafe. That gap, says @ovanwijk of @nihiliumio, is why most people never get past the seed phrase screen. He puts the drop-off at 90%. We spoke at @CryptoCanal's Common S3nse in Amsterdam. #CommonS3nse

@nihiliumio courageously braves the #OtterTank Judges @Justin_Bons, @NoahJelich and @DevonMarten - and passes with flying colors!
What Nihilium solves is hard but solving the 'forgot my password' problem didn't require inventing new mathematics!
Our new visual white-paper is live, covering all aspects of the protocol, what the properties are and a sneak peak into the SDK for developers to build their own recovery flows. Contact us to learn more.
Note, this is recovery on EOA's, actual secrets, so works accross @Bitcoin @ethereumfndn @solana @NEARProtocol @aztecnetwork and also for off-chain secrets.

The @Giveth QF security round concluded.
Being largely unknown we got great results!
It funded us going to the
- Berlin Blockchain week
- The @arbitrum open house to explore GTM
With upcoming
- C0mmon S3nse by @CryptoCanal during the Cypherpunk week in Amsterdam (@web3privacy )
- @EFDevcon in November
More updates coming soon! Stay tuned!
Recovery is the key to mass adoption!
And a big shoutout to those making this possible:

⚪🫧🐚 Today's pearl: @nihiliumio - a protocol for universal, uncensorable secret recovery.
Best Pearls is Common S3nse's curated showcase of projects building privacy, security, decentralization, and freedom tech. Built by @ovanwijk 🙌

What if cryptography could fundamentally redefine human freedom? @ovanwijk from @nihiliumio, a techie with a strong belief that cryptography can usher in a degree of self-sovereignty yet unseen in human history, will be joining the Common S3nse stage.
Who's joining the Privacy Renaissance? 🖤
Privacy • Security • DeFi
📍 Amsterdam
📅 September 4-5 (during Cypherpunk Week)
Privacy is secrecy
... of secrets.
For privacy to go beyond power users we need to solve secret (key) recovery solutions.
Nihilium is doing exactly that!
Nihilium retweeted
This is exactly why the staking behind @nihiliumio is not allowed to have tokens with a blacklist function. It is just an attack vector
Thank you for organizing this and thanks to all the support! The QF round will greatly help us to be more out there spreading the word for proper key recovery solutions!!
Our first funding round was a massive success!
Congratulations to all the Ethereum security projects collecting about $1.6M in total and to Giveth for organizing a fantastic QF Round.
What started as a 500 ETH matching pool ultimately grew to 637 ETH+ thanks to ecosystem contributions.
Shout out to @wintermute_t for adding $200K to the matching pool and to @Quantstamp whose early $50K donation helped kick off momentum for direct matching pool contributions across the round.
We also saw over $300k+ in direct donations to 134 projects!
Our hope is that one day using Ethereum will be safer than using banks. To get to that day we believe it will require a community effort. This round validates that approach.
If there is anyone out there looking to solve one of the largest (UX) issues with crypto and privacy currently?
Key recovery
Let us know!

🧵Privacy is not just online content.
It’s real people gathering IRL around ideas.
Thanks to all the participants of our meetup during @ETHCluj
Few highlights👇
Nihilium retweeted
This is why @nihiliumio, a protocol for key/secret recovery is using 'combinatorial threshold' trading complexity and orchestration overhead for ciphertext size and local compute, with the added benefit of picking your own group. Which allows for geographic arbitrage. It only uses standard cryptography making it very easy to reason about.
Nihilium is probably one of the few protocols that treats MPC setups as adversaries for collusion.
From just starting to go public to 41 backers during the @thedaofund QF round by @Giveth ! We are very happy with all the support! Key recovery is one of the biggest problems to solve, you will definitely hear more about us!
