Zashi + NEAR Intents: use CrossPay to convert into shielded ZEC and make private cross-chain payments—right from the wallet. Private UX without the CEX detour.

Shade Agents = autonomous, verifiable agents that can hold/control assets across chains by combining TEEs with NEAR’s Chain Signatures. Foundation for private payments + automated swaps. #NEAR

What are “intents”? You state an outcome (e.g., “swap ZEC → NEAR”) and solvers compete to fulfill it—abstracting bridges, hops, and quotes into one flow. Feels like magic, but it’s Pub/Sub + on-chain settlement. #Zcash

This is pretty much where I’ve ended up in looking to @getdweb.net principles rather than “open source” as an organizing principle bmannconsulting.com/notes/dweb/

“Technology for Human Agency” and “Distributed Benefits” I can get behind without even getting into what license someone picks.

Big thanks to @zechub.bsky.social for hosting this conversation and to @zkhack.dev for inviting us to join their hackathon with our Zk Av Club Recording Station! More soon :)

Journalists, researchers, grants teams — want to collaborate? DM for an intro or reach Dana here: x.com/0xxDana

Numbers today:
⏩ Client-side proving ~28–30s
🛡️ ZKVerify for verification
🚀 Deployed on Arbitrum testnet during the hackathon

Beyond whistleblowing → private credit proofs, institutional transfers, DeFi privacy pools, and agent execution without strategy leakage.

Whistleblowers + journalists need credibility and anonymity. The prototype enables:
• org attestations via ZK-email
• on-chain, time-stamped signals
• public feed now; private forums on the roadmap

Did VCs win—or do we keep blockchain weird?
Jump into the full convo with Kirill Pimenov and tell us where you stand.

👇 Watch & reply: youtu.be/dKv1DXM1mn0

Hardware that won’t narc: Kirill demos Kampala—an air-gapped, radio-silent, NFC-powered e-paper wallet with clear-signing goals for EVM.

“Cost of experiments is falling.” Let’s use blockchains for global consensus beyond balances—governance, identity, and coordination (with privacy by design).

Messaging ≠ money. Privacy needs differ between comms and payments—and Telegram ≠ private by default. Kirill maps threat models without fanboyism.

Outside the money box: “Not everything is GDP.” Reputation, coordination, and weird experiments deserve ZK tools too—libraries, protests, communities.

Bitcoin ≠ private. Kirill breaks down why pseudonymity isn’t privacy—and how that misunderstanding fuels surveillance on transparent chains.

“Tech is political. Cryptography reallocates power with math.” If that’s true, are we comfortable with who benefits from today’s crypto UX defaults?

4/ Funding the Commons is evolving → an incubator-style pipeline for public-goods projects—bridging community, builders, and partners. If you’ve ever felt like a “muggle” in crypto, this convo gives you next steps.

3/ 🌶️ Hot takes inside: AI × blockchain (agent era needs human-first UX), DePIN (weather, connectivity—think WeatherXM—where tokens align users + infra), and RWAs (tokenization beyond the hype). How clear design + language unlock actual adoption.
#AI #DePIN

2/ Path to crypto: Mayeli’s story speaks to women, LATAM, and LGBTQ+ folks who feel “not technical enough.” Show up, join a DAO, ask Qs, ship at hackathons—and find peers who translate the jargon. Includes her Devcon “first night → hackathon win” story. #Inclusion #WomenInWeb3

6/ If payments and data aren’t private—especially in the AI era—do we really have a free society? 🤯
