Had a great time at DevConnect in Istanbul over the last week and a half. Here is a thread 🧵1/7
Comments
- Spent some time at Zuzalu, the User Security Summit as well as the Consensys events at the Voyage Waypoint. Thx to the GoPlus team. Met interesting projects including ChainPatrol, WalletGuard, Blowfish, Blockfence, EigenPhi and Salus. Unfortunately none of the guys in Tel Aviv could make it so shoutout to Blockaid, Hexagate, Hypernative and Cyvers for all their support 7/7
- The level of excitement around MetaMask Snaps at DevConnect was awesome. Lots of devs with new use cases. I think Social Snaps will be a next wave 2/7
- Turkey is a super interesting market for MetaMask. We ran a zero fee stablecoin campaign a few weeks back and the majority of the budget was used up by Turkish users 4/7
- Here is what I presented on web3 Security to the Zuzalu community: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Z-_XEp7JWgiRnd0ok-UtvuCf-hA5VqShE6xtjs1X2sw/edit?usp=sharing
- BiLira is a local Turkish Lira stablecoin (TRYB). Solid team working closely with banks, regulators and central bank in Turkey. The use case seems to be providing on and off ramps, payment rails and hedges 5/7
- In the Grand Bazaar (where you go to trade gold or currency) they are currently doing $ 100m in daily OTC crypto exchange volume (no KYC, no AML) - it seems to be mostly Tether over TRON 3/7
- We now have over $ 130m in TVL in Linea (without a token or any short term incentives). Hopefully we can maintain this growth whilst layering in more security (whilst staying true to our web3 ethos of security, privacy and decentralisation) 6/7
