🚀 Big Moves in Web3 Identity Solutions! Dentity is making waves by acquiring Trinsic’s decentralized identity platform. This strategic move is set to supercharge Web3 identity solutions, paving the way for a safer, more privacy-focused digital experience 🌐🔒. In a world where trust and security are key, Dentity’s acquisition underscores the growing importance of decentralized identity systems in empowering users to control their digital credentials and personal data. What are your thoughts on decentralized identity? Do you see it as the future of secure digital interactions? Let’s discuss ⬇️

🎮 When Clash of Clans meets CTF: A Tale of Ambitious Dreams & Valuable Lessons 👨💻 👩💻 Ever tried running Three.js models while handling CTF challenges simultaneously? Well, we did! For Breach Bytes 2.0 by DJS ISACA, our technical team embarked on what can only be described as our "go big or go home" moment - creating a complete 3D Clash of Clans environment where each building was a CTF challenge! Plot twist: Sometimes even the most exciting plans don't execute perfectly. Despite Cloudflare's best efforts and our 80+ hours of dedicated engineering, our creation turned out to be a bit too... enthusiastic. 😅 The website decided to play "Will it run?" with our participants' machines, and spoiler alert: not always! But you know what? These "accidental DDoS" moments are almost a rite of passage in tech. One day you're building the next big thing, and the next day your server is doing breathing exercises trying to handle the traffic! To my incredible technical team at DJS ISACA- Vansh Mandot, vishv shah, Aryan Joshi, Gaurav Dubey, Krishna Chomal, Om Viroje, Tushar Naik, Daksh Kothari, Dhairya Shukla, Het Gohil(My Co-Tech Head, couldn't do it without you buddy!) and Rahil Chheda(always grateful for your support President!) thank you for pouring your hearts into this project. We may not have created a perfectly running website, but we definitely created memories, learned valuable lessons about load balancing (the hard way 😂), and proved that we're not afraid to push boundaries. Here's to ambitious projects, sleepless nights, and teammates who make even the technical hiccups worth it! 🚀 #TechLife #CTF #GameDev #WebDev #LessonsLearned #DJSIsaca #StudentCommunity

Our dID protocol Anima by Synaps is teaming up with GetBlock to provide privacy-first Proof of Personhood (PoP) solutions. 🔒 This collaboration ensures Web3 ecosystems are driven by real, verified users while staying Sybil-resistant. Building trust, one block at a time. 🛠️

Tiring of the xz backdoor hack doom and gloom already? Here's an optimistic take on xz from Tidelift co-founder Jeremy Katz. https://lnkd.in/gQ_FnQh8 "We’re going to see a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt thrown around in the coming months about open source post xz, but that’s the thing I keep coming back to. Because this is open source, and the code was available, this exploit was uncovered before it was widely deployed. And because this is open source, we can have an ongoing and detailed discussion about how to prevent future exploits because all of the social interactions, all of the technical details, all of the code, is right there where everyone can see it and learn from it—in the open. That’s an amazing display of the power of open source." ❤️

Why should Web3 matter, and what makes it different from Web 2.0? 👉 Ownership and control 👈 #Web3 is built on decentralisation. Having no centralised authority for control is what makes it unique. At Scalex, we value security, and one aspect that influences security so much is control. Our ramp services make it easy for you to access Web3 products.

Web3 has the potential to change the world, and it's stronger when we build it together 🧡 Join the conversation and explore them in Satoshi Twenty One 👇 https://t.me/S21Community

🚀 Excited to share the outcome of an intense 24-hour hackathon organized by Internews last weekend, where I developed Safely—an all-in-one digital safety platform designed to protect access to information and freedom of speech. Safely is an open-source, community-driven platform with features aimed at ensuring privacy and security for journalists, activists, and anyone who values freedom of expression. Some of the key features include: 🔒 End-to-end encrypted file transfers 🌐 TOR connectivity for anonymity 💥 Auto-destruct mode and anti-screenshot features 🧹 Metadata removal and virus scanning 🔍 AI-assisted hate speech monitoring 🤖 Legal matters explainer powered by AI 🕶️ Anonymous posting with community-driven verification The platform is hosted on the Tor network to prevent government interference, with a special focus on accessibility and multilingual support. I’m incredibly proud of what I was able to achieve in just 24 hours and am excited about how this project can help safeguard digital rights! 💡 Check out the project on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gr3vyaBN PS: ofc only UI is functional, features mostly are not.

Some days ago I finished my 10th hackathon in the past year. This time we made a gamified bug-bounty protocol with an AI auditor agent at its core that is learning through human feedback, which was heavily inspired by this paper -> https://lnkd.in/dntHuHMC Developers deposit some reward and request an audit through a chainlink function that calls the agent endpoint. It sends back a URI that contains vulnerabilities, recommendations, and a certainty score. The URI is later linked to an NFT that belongs to the developer. Auditors act as critics by providing feedback and adding missed vulnerabilities to the AI report. The process is managed by another chainlink function for uploading embeddings and returning a uniqueness score based on which a certain amount of shares will be minted to the vault. Then, after enough context is given to the AI agent, the developers can update their metadata which will increase the certainty score of the report, essentially, making the registry of all audits a dynamic NFT collection. Once the audit has reached a good certainty score, anyone can deploy the contracts with no coding required, thus decreasing the barrier to web3 entrepreneurship and their awareness of security concerns, at a fraction of the cost and time.
