The security culture in @LidoFinance is arguably the most extreme and paranoid in crypto. Working with Lido contributors over the last years has continously baffled me in how they think about hardware, nation-state actors, supply-chain attacks, or key management and access, long before these became major talking points.
When these same people started using AI like everyone else, naturally they were super frustrated with the complete lack of privacy. But instead of complaining, they started to build an internal solution that is now the workhorse for many of Lido's top contributors, including labs CEO @_vshapovalov.
That solution is Wisp. @usewisp_io is verifiably private AI and is now opening waitlist to the first external users. If you are looking for AI you can 100.0% trust, built by the most privacy and security-paranoid people in this space, check out usewisp.io/ , follow @usewisp_io , and get on the waitlist today.
For the past 5 months several unwell people @LidoFinance have been trying to build the most private AI imaginable. Today I'm opening the waitlist.
Wisp (@usewisp_io) is the antithesis to Sam and Dario's 'trust me bro' privacy. Architected so no one - even Wisp - can read, train on or retain your data.

Institutional DeFi just leveled up 🔒
Cactus Link now integrates @LidoFinance V3 stVaults for compliant, highly controlled $ETH staking.
This solution gives institutions:
• Enhanced Control: Customize validator choice, fee terms, and geographical configurations
• On-Chain Liquidity: Retain flexibility with the option to mint or repay stETH
Powered by stVaults.
stVaults are now supported by @CactusCustody, the digital asset custody arm of @BITofficial_EN.
Clients can create & manage stVaults via Cactus Link: Choose validators, fees & MEV routing with on-demand liquidity via stETH minting.

Northstake just set a first.
We are the first node operator to prove a validator to the Predeposit Guarantee (PDG) contract on @LidoFinance V3 mainnet.
What is the PDG?
It's Lido V3's on-chain verification layer for validator deposits. By cryptographically proving (via EIP-4788) that a validator's withdrawal credentials correctly point to the intended stVault, the validator becomes fully registered in PDG — unlocking trustless top-ups and eliminating custodial assumptions for future deposits.
This is the type of infrastructure institutional staking requires and we're proud to be the first to verify a validator on-chain through PDG on mainnet 🟢

Can move the Scroll DAO to optimistic and council based governance in a few weeks. Will beat any price by any other provider. Won’t charge them obscene fees over years. Will help them get back on track!
Can anyone connect me with the Foundation and or Labs?

I was recently targeted by a relatively sophisticated crypto fraud group.
Thanks to my years of experience in cybersecurity and having studied similar scam breakdowns here on Twitter I was able to spot the red flags right away.

Okaaaay so ETH just pumped 25% this week, and you're still not staking?
We've been staking ours, and honestly, we're loving how the returns keep stacking.
Tomorrow we're showing you exactly how to make the most out of your ETH too.
Come learn with us and @ethstaker.
Ethereum keeps winning, and we all win by staking it. 💝

Putting effort for 4 years on running #Ethereum nodes is finally going to complete another cycle: being a solo-staker!
Thank you @LidoFinance and @dappnode for this.
Obviously going to try Sedge on this beauty.
