Unstoppable | Private Wallet@unstoppablebyhs· 26 days ago

🔍 Go Invisible: NYM VPN Launches in Unstoppable Wallet We're adding @nymvpn as a recommended VPN service inside the app settings - a powerful companion to our built-in TOR support (currently Android only). 🛡️ Why VPN ? Using VPN (or TOR) service adds significant privacy boost when using mobile or web based wallet. The wallet app relies on many different data providers to operate (i.e. currency exchange rates, RPC providers for EVM blockchains etc) which expose your IP address to the data source. Using TOR or NYM VPN keeps your IP private. 🛡️ Why we prefer NymVPN? • Decentralized Mixnet Routing Your traffic is mixed through 2 to 5 independent nodes, scrambling metadata like connection times and traffic flow not just IP. • No Identity / Login No account, no email. Your payments go through crypto and stay unlinkable. • Metadata Protection Nym doesn’t just hide your IP butalso adds noise and timing obfuscation across the network. • Censorship Resistance Built to bypass restrictions. Use AmneziaWG (a hardened WireGuard fork) and choose entry/exit nodes in 50+ countries. • Crypto-Friendly Supports anonymous payments via Monero, Zcash, and even cash. • Open Source & Auditable NymVPN is fully open-source. • Cross-Platform Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Nym prioritizes privacy over speed. Therefore, its multi-hop routing may be slower than traditional VPNs. Unstoppable + Nym = true financial and digital privacy. 🏴 Note that Unstoppable users get an exclusive discount when accessing Nym from the app! Stay private. Stay sovereign.

Vini Barbosa 🏴‍☠️@vinibarbosabr· about 1 month ago

Here's why $NEAR is a no-brainer in 2025 👇 Everybody loves @NearProtocol and there is a reason for that (or many). Near is well-positioned to be one of the leading blockchain ecosystems this year. Let’s explore the “whys”. TIMESTAMPS Quick Bio – 00:00:15 Inflation Reduction Proposal – 00:00:43 Technically Speaking – 00:02:40 Near Intents – 00:03:37 Chain Signatures and AI – 00:04:39 Decentralization and DeFi – 00:05:59 I have my Near account since March 2023, but it has been inactive for a while, as I was focused on other stuff. However, the recent inflation halving proposal by HOT DAO (@hotdao_) and LiNEAR (@LinearProtocol) brought my eyes back to the project and I really like what I’m seeing. So, here’s my first point. If this proposal passes, NEAR could lead the way in what appears to be a market trend of improving the tokenomics, as more and more experts realize holders have been overpaying for these networks' security, with a too high supply inflation. Solana tried something similar, but the proposal was rejected. In my opinion, validators voting favorably to that show a commitment to the chain for the long term. On the other hand, voting against it signals a short-term vision focused on milking the emissions as much as possible, at the ecosystem’s expense. The voting currently goes with 28% “YEA” votes, needing 66.76% to pass. Most of the validators who already cast their votes went with the yes. 2pilot, avb, openshards, qbit, sicmundus, fox, and intear are, so far, the only seven who voted “NAY”. This proposal has the vocal support of most influential figures in the Near ecosystem, including the Near Foundation (@NEARFoundation), led by @ilblackdragon, which makes me believe it will pass and show the power of the halving in getting the market’s attention and presenting a huge investment asymmetry for the native token right now. Is this everything I like about NEAR? Definitely not. This is just what got me looking at it again, just to discover a (very much) thriving ecosystem, full of interesting things happening at the same time. I’ll mention a few, but there is (much) more. Technically speaking, Near is a high-performance blockchain, with really low fees and one of the fastest finalities, with 600ms block time and approximately 1.8s finality. It also has my favorite architecture for internet-scale scalability, using sharding, while keeping a high decentralization standard. As a learning programmer, Near also has one of the best dev experiences (in my limited opinion). The documentation is clear, has a logical journey, presenting from the basic anatomy in details to more complex SDKs and tools. I’m also in love with the near-cli-rs. A command line interface program written in Rust for seamless interaction with the Near blockchain. Allowing wallet creation, chain query, sending transactions, staking, smart contract calls, and more. Near Intents. This was the second thing to get my attention, while studying the project again, and it sets a whole new standard for blockchain interactions, especially cross-chain. Basically, users can declare an intention (for example, swap Ethereum-USDT to Bitcoin) and a network of solvers, running on Near, will find the best path to accomplish this task. We recently saw an impressive 465k-worth swap happening in exactly this example, paying 0.55% of trading fees to thorswap.near and swapkit.near. According to a Dune Dashboard, the protocol accumulates nearly $400 million in volume since its launch not long ago, in November 2024. *obs.: half this volume was achieved in the last month. Massive! Near Intents is possible due to two other very interesting things: (i) Chain abstraction, and (ii) a solid AI infrastructure. Chain abstraction (via Chain Signatures) is a powerful interoperability feature, allowing Near to friendly connect different blockchains as if they were part of a single network. Users and devs benefit from wallet, address, fees, and cross-chain bridges abstractions - not even noticing they are interacting with multiple chains. One wallet that powers everything. Powered by Near. On AI, Near is just built differently. Not for the hype, but for the solution. The team has been looking for AI solutions much before the ChatGPT fever. Actually, they started as an AI company, pivoting to blockchain later. So, being one of the most promising networks for the growing AI economy was just the natural path to follow. There is an extensive and super complete research piece on that topic, recently published by Reflexivity Research (@reflexivityres) on July 1st. It presents Near as an AI-optimized blockchain, covering AITP, Shade Agents, x402, Near Intents, and more. Definitely worth the reading. Wrapping up this content with one more aspect that really matters to me is how Near remains truthful to decentralization, data ownership, censorship-resistance and open-source primitives that have been increasingly abandoned by other key players. A simple example of that is how the Near Foundation decided to deprecate its public APIs, encouraging the surge of a more decentralized and competitive market of SaaS projects, with a highlight to Lava Network, that recently appeared in my timeline talking about that. DeFi is also huge on Near, leveraging all the previous properties I mentioned, creating a truly decentralized liquidity pool via Rhea Finance, connected with other chains like BTC, Ethereum, ZCash, and more. All that contributes to Near having the second-largest monthly active addresses, with nearly 50 million, only losing to Solana’s nearly 90 million. In the meantime, NEAR, the token, is not even at the 30rd position by market cap. Crazy stuff. To (finally) wrap it up, I also want to mention Near’s consensus decentralization. While having a low node-count, the network has a Nakamoto Coefficient of 11, which is not bad at all. Surely, there is still room for improvement, which is possible as becoming a validator is accessible staking and hardware-wise.

RT @paulbrigner: Kudos to @btcpolicyorg for hosting a session on privacy at the Bitcoin Policy Summit. The recommended privacy solutions for Bitcoin included coinjoins and the Lightning Network. I’d like to suggest another option: you can now swap between #Zcash ($ZEC) and $BTC on @Maya_Protocol. Combining Zcash with Bitcoin can significantly enhance your privacy. Give it a try!

TechFlow 深潮｜APP 已上线@TechFlowPost· about 2 months ago

除了 BTC 和 ETH，这些大佬眼中的 3-5 年最佳加密投资标的是？ “如果你必须在3-5年的时间范围内购买流动性强/非风险投资的加密货币，并且不允许购买BTC、ETH、HYPE、SOL或持有稳定币，你会买什么？为什么？” 6月22日，知名加密KOL @Cobie 在X上提出了上述问题。 加密KOL、交易员、VC投资人纷纷在评论区给出了自己的“财富密码”。 我们盘点了一些行业知名人物的观点和选择，看看其中是否有你倾心的投资标的。 Base 负责人 jesse.base.eth：Coinbase（$COIN) 看好 $COIN（Coinbase），因为：（1）它拥有令人难以置信的多元化且强大的产品线，已形成规模化的用户群和市场领先的品牌；（2）它是这个领域执行力最强、最具远见的链上团队之一，甚至可能是最强的。 加密 KOL Ansem ：Worldcoin($WLD) 对冲 OpenAI/Altman 在 AI 竞赛中胜出以及监控国家的风险。在后 AGI 时代，我们需要一种可验证的方式来区分谁是人类、谁是 AI。如果 OpenAI 未来要利用他们庞大的个人数据库做些什么，这很可能与去中心化身份（WLD）有关。 AllianceDAO创始人qw：具备强劲收入的代币 在 3-5 年的时间范围内，唯一正确的答案是具有强劲（未来）收入且目前以合理倍数交易的代币。 其他一切都将归零。比特币之外的货币溢价已成为过去。 Helius Labs 创始人 mert ：Jito（$JTO)、Zcash（$ZEC) JTO — 如果你相信 SOL 未来 3-5 年还会存在（它确实会存在），那这个就不言自明了 Zcash — 我认为隐私币会卷土重来，再加上该链即将在新实验室主体下进行重新设计，从技术角度来看令人印象深刻 Nansen创始人 Alex Svanevik：构建L1组合 构建多样化的 Layer 1 (L1) 区块链资产组合实现长期投资回报。已有 BTC、ETH、HYPE、SOL，新增 BNB、SUI、APT、TRX、AVAX，共 9 种资产，覆盖主流及潜力公链，并质押所有资产以获得约 4.5% 年化收益。 加密KOL Fishy Catfish：Chainlink($Link) Chainlink 在市场份额和安全性方面已经保持了 6 年的顶级统治地位（甚至比 2021 年还要高） 真实世界资产（RWA）代币化和稳定币是两个最大的实用性应用场景市场 ，Chainlink 为这两个领域提供了完整的数据、连接和计算服务平台。 此外，在传统金融采用方面也远远领先其他竞争者（包括 SWIFT、DTCC、摩根大通、澳新银行、瑞银等） 加密 KOL Murad：$SPX 原因：SPX 作为首个“Movement Coin”，目标是颠覆整个股票市场。SPX 对 GME 的影响，堪比 BTC 对黄金的影响，甚至更甚。它可以说是加密货币推特上最热情奔放的社区，目前仍处于早期阶段。它是唯一一个拥有真正使命的“meme”币。 APG Capital 交易员 Awawat：$BNB、$LEO、$AAVE、$MKR、$XMR 考虑到这个时间跨度，只有几个选择是有意义的： PAXG/XAUT（黄金代币），原因显而易见 BNB/LEO，上涨空间有限但下跌风险也小 AAVE/MKR：应该能继续存在下去 XMR（门罗币） 很多回复都在推销各自的投资组合，但客观来说，在这个时间跨度内那些币种会归零 加密KOL W3Q：$HOOD、$TSLA 5年来看，除了比特币之外，纯加密货币领域都不考虑持有。 $HOOD（Robinhood）- 零售金融领域的铲子和镐子（基础设施） 从投注到抵押贷款再到扩展加密产品，他们正在进入所有赚钱的垂直领域，而且比大多数公司都有更好的用户体验和分销渠道。 $TSLA（特斯拉）- AI 机器人领域，覆盖了软件和硬件两个方面。马斯克可能会在下一个炒作周期再次对加密货币感兴趣。 如果不受自我托管的限制，会选择 2 倍杠杆的比特币 ETF 在市场周期低点或极端抛售时用部分投资组合布局。 Framework Ventures 合伙人Vance Spencer：$SKY $SKY，需要注意的是，它目前不在任何 CEX 上。 DeFiance Capital 创始人 Arthur：$AAVE 、$ENA、$PENDLE、$JUP 以上是他们的投资选择，那么你眼中3-5年的长期投资标的是什么？

RT @isabelfoxenduke: BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #24: The History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben Sasson In 2013, computer science professor @EliBenSasson presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy. Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development. This episode shares Eli’s early discussions of ZKPs for scaling, the use of proofs in privacy-enhancing technologies like Zcash, the explosion of ZKPs for Layer 2s on Ethereum… and his recent return to exploring ZKPs for Bitcoin. As always, you can view this episode on YouTube or Spotify via the linktree in my bio—YouTube link in comments as well.
