Puma.tech | Remote-first with PST overlap | Engineering & Growth | $75-120k base & 200k+ equity | https://puma.tech

Hi all, I’m Yuriy, founder of Puma.tech. Previously worked in developer relations at Cloudant (YC S08), Meteor (YC S11), Parse (YC S11), and explored Ai/ML (computer vision for self-driving cars) before diving deep into crypto.

*Puma Browser*: we started with the idea of a privacy-first browser with built-in micropayments (via the Interledger Protocol) and have since added support for identity (HNS, ENS; Unstoppable Domains in testing) and storage (IPFS; Arweave in testing).

We just soft launched OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini integrations and looking into ways of running LLaMA-like open source models on device. Come help us build it.

*Puma.network*: decentralized infrastructure layer running on top of Puma Browser 900k installs focused on creating open LLMs and rewarding contributions of compute, feedback (RLHF) and data.

We’ve raised Angel and Seed venture rounds from some of the best builders in crypto and Ai: Protocol Labs, Shima Capital, SBI, Fenbushi, HashKey, Chris Larsen (founder of [Ripple](https://ripple.com/)), Sridhar Ramaswamy (Snowflake CEO, Neeva, Greylock), Jason Warner (ex-GitHub CTO, VP Eng Heroku & Canonical), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR Protocol), Don Ho (Orange DAO, Quantstamp) and many more.

- We value Optimism, Kindness, Curiosity, Speed and Grit.

Whalе Alеrt, a blockchain trackеr, disclosеd significant crypto transfеrs. Onе involvеd 26.5 million XRP on Bitstamp, and thе othеr movеd 20 million XRP on Bitso. Both transactions were initiated by Ripplе-affiliatеd wallеts, according to data from XRP еxplorеr Bithomp. As of now, we saw a slight dip in XRP Price, a 0.48% drop at $0.5502.

The esteemed keynote speakers gracing the stage at Apex 2023, the much-anticipated developer summit hosted by Ripple and the XRP Ledger Foundation, represent some of the leading lights across the ecosystem. These visionary leaders will share their expertise, and experiences, exposing attendees to invaluable insights and setting the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable event.

Cross-border transactions: the ability to transfer between currency pairs, at an instant, without a traditional intermediary like SWIFT or a global reserve currency. Solving Triffin’s dilemma. This is what companies like Ripple is working on.

The platform offers exceptionally quick transactions and real-time payments. The native coin of the Ripple network that is utilised to speed up currency exchanges is called Ripple (XRP). The Ripple platform is frequently cited as the financial institutions’ most effective interbank flow settlement alternative.

The fake website is a well-designed clone of the Ripple website, ripple.com, by copying the original layout and fonts and linking to some of his previous blog posts. The impersonators have also tried to increase the credibility of their messages by adding information about the importance of self-service using major hardware wallets such as Ledger or Trezor. The scam website has many mirror domains such as ripple.org.th or ripple.com.ve targeting XRP users from all over the world.

Currently, the dominant player in the Web Monetization space is Coil, a subscription service that provides a Chrome extension to users. It connects to your cryptocurrency wallet - right now, Web Monetization works primarily on the Ripple blockchain. Whenever the Chrome extension detects a payment pointer, or a wallet address, it starts streaming micropayments. The page to which payments are being streamed can detect this and unlock exclusive paywalls.

Chainlink (LINK) – The Blockchain Oracle Giant

Chainlink allows smart contract developers to receive a wide variety of off-chain data, with the most commonly used features being receiving off-chain randomness and off-chain pricing data. Integrating your smart contracts with Chainlink provides a unique set of potential security vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit; here are the common vulnerabilities that smart contract developers & auditors need to look out for.

In some way, I'd also put Chainlink in that category since they allow to access open world data on-chain and making dapps more relevant as a result.

Smart contracts have revolutionized various industries by enabling the automation of agreements and transactions in a secure and decentralized manner. However, for smart contracts to reach their full potential, they need access to real-world data and external systems. This is where Chainlink comes into play.

I would suggest the use of an oracle like chainlink. Link: https://chain.link - I don't know exactly what your specific requirements are since I cannot review your code but a thirdparty oracle sounds like it could offer you at least some direction.

🥁 Introducing Co:OPERATE @ EthCC by Celo with Co:HOST Chainlink!

Etherisc has built a platform (Generic Insurance Framework) for decentralized insurance applications. We use blockchain technology to help make the purchase and sale of insurance more efficient, enable lower operational costs, provide greater transparency into the industry and democratize access to reinsurance. We’ve been around since 2016, have many high-profile collaborators (including Chainlink) and are proud of the innovative applications of the parametric insurance products built on our platform, including travel delay, crop and carbon credit protection.

As well as feeding real-world data to smart contracts, oracles can be used to monitor other blockchains and pass information about them between networks. Chainlink has made progress in this direction, with their Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This enables the creation of multi-chain apps. The protocol is maintained by a decentralized network of nodes. However, this is unlikely to be as secure as the chains between which messages are being sent.

Chainlink is not a blockchain - it's a "heterogeneous network", i.e. an open-source protocol for building oracle networks. Chainlink is 'blockchain-agnostic', aimed at connecting any chain to any API/external system and supporting interoperability between chains. Besides ETH, it has existing or planned integrations with: ONE, ADA, XTZ, MATIC, HBAR, DOT, BSC, ATOM, LUNA, etc.
