Rage against the [complex] machine! @aptos Keyless, at a glance, in one slide below 👇
What is an @aptos keyless account? 🧵 It's a blockchain account derived from (say) your Google account and an application (wallet, dapp, etc). It's bound not just to you (e.g., [email protected]) but also to the application (e.g., @PetraWallet, or @ThalaLabs, or @VibrantXFinance)
Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that…
Aptos might just trigger the next bull run! This is not about speed or scalability. It's about giving financial institutions what they've been begging for: privacy without sacrificing verifiability. Broke down the tech + real-world use cases in simple terms 👇
Dropping the first video tomorrow for the Aptos community!! @Aptos is laser focussed on Institutional adoption and a recent breakthrough made it a reality. Any guesses??
broadly 🎨🖌️ some use cases of @aptos confidential transactions!
Build with Aptos Confidential Transactions Aptos Labs' @alinush explains how ACTs are designed with compliance for regulated use-cases 🎧
KYC is responsible for the largest, and most dangerous data breaches. The solution is simple though: cryptographic attestations (ZK or FHE based). But that isnt enough currently as regulation forces you to actually have the user data for compliance.. Something needs to change…
Tea required users to upload selfies and IDs, and collected IP addresses. This week, that data was leaked. It never should have been collected. It’s a liability. We need to stop normalizing KYC and unnecessary data collection online.
Check out recent work eprint.iacr.org/2025/1325 with @rel_zeta_tech exploring the (known but imo under appreciated) IPA sumcheck connection. Allows connecting BaseFold/FRI with IPA in a neat way and an efficient decider for transparent accumulation & folding schemes

We may be dismissing entire branches of cryptography prematurely (RSA, class groups) because of a "looming" quantum threat. In 5 years, the Internet'll be deeply integrated w/ NIST-endorsed PQ crypto schemes that are less efficient and secure than their pre-quantum counterparts.

The most powerful custody stack: @Aptos Petra Vault + Keyless. Split signers across ledger, google, and apple for ultra strong security. Enterprise-grade infra—natively supported at the L1. Fully decentralized. Open-source. Easy ops, fast response time. Wildly underrated.
Good interview from Roman Storm. His trial is coming soon in 10 days. Privacy of messaging without backdoors is now widely accepted, and many in business and government regularly use tools like Signal. Given the extremely regular hacks of centralized databases that we see…
"FinCEN guidance from 2019, which we heavily relied on, specifically states that software anonymizing providers are not subject to money transmitter licensing requirements. That gave us confidence that what we were building should not put us in a risky position." Watch full…
Privacy *is* normal.
Tornado Cash was code. The US government sanctioned mathematics. They didn't just ban a tool - they criminalized privacy itself. Every developer building privacy tech now lives under this precedent. Privacy is normal.
