What a great idea!
Autonomous plants
did not win anything at @ETHGlobal @EFDevcon
But here's what we did learn,
- the concept is something that either you get it instantly or don't get it all
- its 50% art, 30% engineering, 20% art
- every white person loved our idea, Indians were 50-50. (the whys are something I'll be keeping to myself)
- the entire ecosystem plays dirty, so we'll have to play dirty as well. But the only ones that survived are the ones who never forgot their core principles
What the future holds for me,
More content, less engineering. More community, less effort.
Exploring areas where people are exposed to art and abundance
For what its worth, I still strongly believe Ethereum ecosystem is the only place where ideas like Autonomous plants will ever be accepted.

The Binance hacker might have just pulled off one of the smartest moves I’ve seen in crypto.
First, Tether froze $1.5 billion in USDT.
Then Circle froze another $800 million in USDC.
At that point, it looked like the hacker’s money was trapped.
But apparently, he had already planned for that.
Instead of holding the stolen USDT in a wallet, he allegedly deposited it into Aave and used it as collateral to borrow ETH.
Then he walked away.
That’s where the story gets crazy.
Tether can freeze the USDT sitting in the wallet.
But it can’t freeze the ETH he already borrowed.
So now Aave is left holding frozen collateral, while the hacker is sitting on liquid ETH.
And unless the protocol can recover it somehow, he may not even need to pay the loan back.
Two companies froze billions of dollars in seconds.
But someone who understood how to use DeFi may have found a way around both of them.
Pretty insane when you think about it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The frozen $1.5B+ USDT and $800M+ USDC were held in the attacker's main wallet (shown in the post's image), not Aave. Only ~$60M USDT from a related wallet was deposited into Aave pre-freeze to borrow ~$45M ETH.

This would never happen with Mamoru
BREAKING: World's largest crypto exchange Binance hacked with over $5.6 billion stolen:
• $1.45 billion $BTC

• $1.57 billion $USDT
• $823 million $USDC
• $75 million $WBETH
• $88.5 million $RLUSD
+ $447.5 million additional cryptocurrencies
This is the largest hack in crypto history.
Big thank you @jigyasa_0203
Coming to India for @EFDevcon for the first time? Save this
Mumbai is a whole different experience, and a little local knowledge can save you from unnecessary chaos.
Here’s your Aamchi mumbai guide
1. Stay close to the venue
Book near Jio World Convention Centre (BKC).
Mumbai traffic is no joke. A 5 km ride can eat up way more time than you’d expect.
Book early because accommodation prices can spike during Devcon.
2. Download @Uber , @Olacabs and @rapidoapp_
Your go-to for getting around.
Always factor in traffic and cab waiting times.
If you’re attending multiple events, hiring a car with a driver for the day might be worth it.
3. Download @zomato and @Swiggy
India’s food delivery game is elite.
From biryani to burgers, you can get almost anything delivered.
Late-night options depend on your location, but you’ll rarely run out of choices.
4. Download @letsblinkit and @ZeptoNow
Forgot your charger, need snacks, or ran out of essentials? These apps have you.
Some deliveries arrive in 10–15 minutes, depending on availability.
5. Don’t leave without trying Mumbai food
Vada pav, pav bhaji, dosa missal pav and local chaat are must-tries.
Not into street food? Mumbai has pretty much every cuisine.
Choose hygienic spots and stick to safe drinking water.
6. Carry some cash
UPI is everywhere, but setting it up as an international visitor can be tricky.
Keep some Indian rupees handy. Don’t assume every local vendor accepts international cards.
7. Sort out your internet
Check international roaming or local SIM/eSIM options before arriving.
Save your hotel address and download offline maps. Future you will thank you.
8. Bandra and Juhu is your nightlife spot
Great bars, restaurants and clubs.
Check entry fees and reservations before showing up
9. Make local friends
Join Devcon community chats and connect with Indian builders.
Need a food recommendation, help with transport or someone to explain how things work? Your local frens are your cheat code.
10. Devcon-specific survival tips
Keep your registration confirmation and required ID ready.
Check side-event locations before RSVPing. Two events on the same evening might be nowhere near each other.
Carry a power bank. Your phone is basically your wallet, map, camera and networking tool.
Wear comfortable shoes. Between the venue and side events, you’ll be walking A LOT.
Don’t try to attend every single event. Leave room for random conversations. That’s where the magic happens.
Exchange contacts and actually follow up after meeting people. Networking doesn’t end when the event does.
11. Pack for Mumbai
Comfortable clothes for warm, humid weather.
A travel adapter and power bank.
Water bottle, sunscreen and any essentials you need throughout the day.
12. Don’t just come for the conference
Explore the city, eat the food, meet the people and say yes to plans that aren’t on your itinerary.
Your money. Where does it go?
Most savings sit idle, or chase rates that fade a week later.
We're building a calmer way: Mamoru. Savings, automated.
Private beta. DMs open.
