1/ Maybe the bigger lesson in the Binance hack wasn't abt Binance or their key management. Its about how fast the money was moved that left Binance no time to react. Onchain, a $100m transfer settles as fast as a $10 one. $6b left hot wallets in ~20 mins. This should change.

Been enjoying building @optimexfi with Ash over the past 4 months. His deep experience building crypto solutions at Visa will be invaluable as we push Optimex toward its vision of unlocking Bitcoin liquidity. Fun fact: I was an intern at Visa Research back in early 2017 before I started Kyber, Ash was my mentor then. 10 years later, we’re back building together.
Excited to share that I joined @optimexfi as Founder & CEO — on a mission to bring the $2T Bitcoin market access to $4T crypto liquidity. Honored to work with a talented team & @loi_luu (cofounder of Kyber & WBTC), once my intern at Visa in 2017. We’re building together again!

GM World! We are Optimex, the vanguard of non-custodial DeFi for native Bitcoin. 60% BTC dominance, soaring retail & institutional adoption, and 8 years of DeFi—yet BTC hasn’t dominated the DeFi landscape. That’s a shame. The world is craving a seamless, efficient, and non-custodial solution that empowers swap, lend, and margin trade on Bitcoin natively and non-custodially. Optimex ends that crave.

Another great news! The hacker behind the KyberSwap attack, has been charged! You can’t just hack defi and run away from justice! Thanks everyone who worked tirelessly to make this happen. Huge congrats to @tranvictor & Kyber team justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/can…
Was a stressful year for @tranvictor & the team, but i'm glad that Kyber has full-filled the grant to support the impacted users! Building a DeFi protocol is tough enough, successfully reviving one that got hacked $57m & covering the loss by protocol treasury is another level!

So DOJ announced the hacker's Identity: ANDEAN MEDJEDOVIC. With a lot of support from the security community, we knew him and we collaborated with many LEs including DOJ to process throughout the case. Kyber team deserves to get back the fund and see that guy being put in jail soon.

1/4 After stepping down from my CEO role at @KyberNetwork in 2022, I spent years exploring new paths. Now, I'm excited to share that It's time to get back in the trenches. I'm diving back into building more in-house crypto products and protocols at @CaliberBuild.
