I got to beta test the Keycard Shell wallet, and this is my live reaction to seeing the EIP-712 digest included in a Safe wallet signing request. (ZERO other wallets have this, but it makes verifying signatures MUCH easier) This is my genuine initial reaction.

This past week, we launched the Cyfrin Updraft AI-based full-stack coding course. And I must warn you, only take this course if you want the burden of being able to become a one-person powerhouse. Here is what you can do with this new knowledge, and what you'll learn 👇

We need to talk about hardware wallets. 1. If you have one, you're probably signing transactions without checking calldata. 2. If you don't have one, you're more susceptible to hacks. One of these needs to change.

1 year ago, I made a video about how blind signing would cause massive pain. Since then, we've seen hack after hack (recently, Drift protocol for almost $300M), where clear signing could have helped mitigate. Today, we finally have a systemic upgrade to wallet UX 👇

I spent 2 hours today in 23° F (-5° C) onboarding as many people as possible in Boston to cryptocurrency. I gave away ~$225 in Ethereum using: - ZKSync Era's Clave (AA Wallet) - onchaingift / Coinbase Wallet / Base L2 All while learning how much Boston knows about crypto. 👇

I made a 🦊 wallet plugin that: 1. Decodes your calldata 2. Uses that decoded data as input to an AI 3. Which then searches the web to see if the transaction has anything "fishy" about it. Here is an example where you'd be sending money to the ByBit hackers, but it catches it!

How do you know what you're signing on your hardware wallet is correct? Asking this question could have saved Radiant Captial $50M last year, and could save you even more. If you're on a security council, DAO, or you own a hardware wallet, you need to know this 👇

The Safe site was actually compromised!!! (More info on the $1.4B Bybit hack) We initially speculated that it was the exchange's computers that were hacked, but it looks like it was the Safe UI the whole time! The fix is still the same. Use the Cyfrin/safe_tx_hashes tool 👇

"but ser, if you ask your claude/openai/chatgpt/cursor/windsurf/openclaw to ignore sensitive files, it will - use the .cusorignore/rules/llm.md/etc file" If that is your security posture, you've already lost. Private keys should never be in plaintext

You MUST secure your web2 environment in order to secure your web3 environment. In this video, I show how one could steal a private key from your server using the react2shell exploit. Just by visiting your website. Update ASAP if you have not already!
