I love the "pressure's off" feeling after my speaking work is done! :-) Now I get to take in the cool activations spaced throughout Plaid Effects. This UV light setup was a clever way to give a visceral feeling for the anti-fraud capability that Plaid Protect unlocks...

Loved chatting about Coinbase Crypto-backed Loans on @bankless. As I told @TrustlessState before the show: "I'm a long-time listener, first-time caller." :-) Thanks for the discussion, @PaulFrambot .
(My wife is also cackling at the glow-up they gave me in that thumbnail.)

We’re on it. We’ve had a group of our best engineers on this since Friday with a few big capacity upgrades already rolling out.
We were already working on our next-gen solana infrastructure, and that’s obviously being accelerated.
We’ll be publishing more soon 🫡
