interesting how $ETH Foundation exposed 100 North Korean operatives infiltrating web3 through The Ketman Project. This proves what $XION (still not on binance) verification layer solves - on-chain identity and proof of legitimacy matter more than anonymity when real money moves.
If you can remember $DRIFT - this is what those agents are doing. You can clearly audit your code 100 times but can't verify people but this actually matters
Funny but today’s web3 news are about more conferences about adoption in Paris and China, a fake Ledger app draining $9.5M from people managing their own keys, $BTC bouncing on Iran talks
meanwhile $XION(still not on binance) shipped OAuth2 so a normal backend dev can add payments and verifiable credentials through a REST API
the adoption problem was never the tech. it was the integration cost. teams would evaluate, get excited, then walk away when they scoped the work. XION just made it look like plugging in Twilio. that’s what actually moves the needle, not another panel about bridging web2 and web3
