Consensys to Split Into Independent MetaMask and Institutional Ethereum Firms by Year-End

Key Takeaways Consensys Software Inc. will rebrand as MetaMask, with Joe Lubin as chairman and CEO, while a newly formed Consensys takes Linea and institutional Ethereum infrastructure. The corporate separation is expected to be completed by the end of 2026. MetaMask users will see no change to their app, assets, keys or access.

Bitcoin’s Post-Coldcard Migration - Self-Custody Crisis or Exchange Resurgence.

Bitcoin’s Post-Coldcard Migration: Self-Custody Crisis or Exchange Resurgence?

A five-year-old firmware build error in Coldcard hardware wallets turned one of Bitcoin’s most trusted self-custody tools into the largest hardware wallet exploit on record. Starting July 30, 2026, attackers exploited weak entropy in seed generation—routing through a software PRNG instead of the intended hardware RNG—draining roughly 1,600–2,000 BTC (estimates ranging $116–130 million) across thousands of addresses in successive waves. No...

Coldcard Firmware Flaw Enables Over $116 Million Bitcoin Theft in Largest Hardware Wallet Exploit

Attackers exploited a March 2021 firmware bug in Coldcard wallets to drain approximately 1,816 BTC (~$116 million) across multiple waves starting July 30, 2026. The vulnerability cut effective entropy to as low as 40 bits on older models, enabling remote brute-force of seeds without physical access. Coinkite released emergency firmware fixes, but existing seeds remain vulnerable and require full migration to new wallets. The incident ranks...

What is MPC in Crypto and How Does It Work

What is MPC in Crypto and How Does It Work?

Just when you think you know pretty much all the security options out there in crypto, new ones pop up (along with acronyms to add to the glossary—which I absolutely love! 🥴). Now it’s MPC’s turn. Let’s see what it’s all about and how it compares to multi-sig and hardware wallet security. MPC in crypto stands for Multi-Party Computation (also called secure multi-party computation). It is a cryptographic technique that eliminates the...

Telegram’s Billion-User Bet: The Gram Wallet Revolution

When Pavel Durov announced that Telegram would embed a non-custodial crypto wallet directly into every version of its billion-user app, the industry felt the tremor. This isn’t another incremental feature rollout—it’s a tectonic shift in how mainstream audiences will interact with digital assets. For years, crypto adoption has been hampered by friction. Custodial wallets, clunky interfaces, and opaque fees kept the promise of peer-to-peer...
