Crypto Fund 4
Since the advent of computing in the 1940s, there has been a major computing cycle every 10-15 years, including PCs in the ‘80s, the internet in the ‘90s, and mobile computing in the ‘00s. We believe blockchains will power the next major computing cycle, which we call crypto or web3. Most computing cycles have “golden eras” when the right mix — including new talent, viable infrastructure, and community knowledge — comes together. For example, with mobile computing, the golden era was 2009-11,...

Smart Contract Security: A Simple Checklist for Web3 Development
Many of the hacks that befall web3 projects would be preventable with more emphasis on smart contract security. Commonly, attackers find and exploit multiple deficiencies across the software development supply chain – the series of steps that go into releasing new code into the world, from design to deployment and upkeep. If proper protocols and best practices were more readily available, we believe far fewer security incidents would occur. The purpose of this post is to outline the core secu...

In Defense of Stablecoins
This op-ed originally appeared as “In defence of stablecoins” on the Financial Times’s website on Monday, August 8, 2022, and in the newspaper’s print edition on Tuesday, August 9, 2022. Crypto critics are using the collapse of dollar-pegged virtual currency Terra as ammunition to attack stablecoins and the crypto industry as a whole. Lost in the conversation is, however, the root cause of the turmoil. A better understanding of what went wrong — and why — could help protect consumers while sa...
