Thank you. Welcome to the night's peace. you
show me explicit you can hear me kindly signify me choose a run would you please
welcome to mirror
to me please can you hear me all right thank you very much I'm ex without wasting much of our time good evening everyone and welcome to tonight's Monday update
ratio a weekly speech we will keep you guys up to date with activities happening live on the
secret network ecosystem I'm very very sorry for black has a lot to deal with at the moment and
won't be available tonight so I'll be taking you guys through all that has happened in the secret network ecosystem in the past week.
And without wasting much time, let's quickly dive in.
So first off, Secret Network last week announced that Silent Swap is sponsoring Privacy 2.0, which is the AI revolution in Toronto.
And of course, this is going to be absolutely incredible it is a
full two-hour immersive experience right in the middle of the futurist conference happening on
may 13th 2025 so guys if you're planning to be anywhere near toronto or you have someone that will be at Canada Blockchain Week or Consensus 2025,
this event is actually something you wouldn't want to miss. So the Secret team is promising
something really special on this day and I for one, knowing Secret Network's commitment to
revolutionizing privacy tech, I am actually personally very intrigued about what they will
unveil and uh yes for those interested there is an rsvp link which you can access directly on the
secret network x profile now for the biggest happening tomorrow uh let's talk about something
a secret firm will be most excited about which is
that secret network is launching a brand new podcast which is called
spilling the tea uh this tuesday every eight which is tomorrow and uh
this actually isn't going to be your typical crypto podcast and uh you have to trust me on this
typical crypto podcast and you have to trust me on this secrets have assembled an amazing
trial of host we are talking about lisa loud we are talking about megan crypto and we are talking
about zoe macfox who are all brilliant minds in the privacy space and uh for me what i love about
this concept is that secretsreets are focusing specifically
on breaking down complicated cryptography and encryption technologies, especially around
teas, which is absolutely crucial for privacy in both Web3 and artificial intelligence,
which is the new trend now. And this three host, which is Lissa Loud,
Zoe, Mark Fords, all have this same vision,
like they share the same powerful vision
that privacy preserving tech is non-negotiable.
And if we want mass adoption of the centralized system,
privacy should come first and it's not something that we should actually debate on and yes the first episode drops tomorrow which is
tuesday and the podcast will be diving straight into confidential and decentralized AI.
And this is a topic that couldn't be more relevant right now.
Secret already released a sneak peek last week, which I checked out.
And I believe many of us have checked out also.
If you haven't, it's available on the Secret Network X profile. And trust me, this is going to be a must must leasing content for anyone who cares about ai
and privacy and most especially where our industry is heading and uh yes
there is something fun and yeah very different we shouldn't take things too serious. So Secret Network is backing the Web3 privacy memeathon.
And trust me, I see this as a creative approach. And this memeathon is a three-week online meme
that is actually already underway because it started April 1st. And if you ask me, I love this concept a lot because I recognize the
power of memes to communicate complex ideas in accessible ways. And Web3 Privacy are offering
some pretty sweet prizes here. We're talking about $3,000 total with creative categories like yo mama first place for one
thousand dollars nunya second place for seven hundred fifty dollars and so on and uh according
to web3 privacy there is even a prize for the best single and ready to mingle meme which actually
made me laugh when i saw it and what's really cool about this
initiative is how they are trying to use humor and virality to make privacy
concepts more relatable and shareable and if any one of you have got meme
skills and care about privacy trust me this is your moment to shine and as i had they are also planning to announce
even more bounties so guys keep an eye out for that and uh yeah moving on to some amazing
recognition news i am actually thrilled when i saw this, that Lisa Loud is finally getting the spotlight she deserves.
And last week it was mentioned that she featured in Global Groups Media Rising Women series as one of the top 31 global thoughts leaders with defining influence and impact.
And we all agree that it is such a well-deserved recognition for everything she's been doing as the executive director of SQL Network Foundation.
And if you are someone that have been following, sorry, Lisa Loud, and you've been following her work, you know how passionate she is about building ethical AI that actually protects users.
building ethical AI that actually protects users.
And what makes Lisa very, very special is that
she's not just talking about secure, decentralized AI.
She is actively building it.
And we are talking about Secret AI, for example.
And beyond our role at Secret Network,
she's also co-founded Crescendo,
which is a new investment bank helping startups
with fundraising and exit and uh yeah i think i should also mention that she is a forbes business
council member a sought after keynote speaker and uh she is going to be co-hosting that new Spilling the Tea podcast I just told you guys about and seriously
our energy and our vision are so much incredible and I actually adore her and she's been named
among the top 100 crypto influencers top female CEOs and blockchain and made the streets top 50
real women assets leading Web3.
It's so encouraging to see true privacy advocates and builders getting this kind of recognition
and seeing Lisa as one person that actually deserves this accolade.
And yeah, let's actually talk about something that affect you, me and everyone else, because
this is what Lisa called the AI tsunami.
And it is something that I personally have been thinking about a lot lately.
And Lisa really caught to the art of it.
Unlike previous waves of automation that mostly affected manufacturing and routine jobs, AI
is now coming for knowledge work.
And when I talk about knowledge work, I'm talking about the kind of cognitive tasks
that lawyers, engineers, and managers have always done.
Get this, because all this I'm saying is not just word of mouth.
We've got statistics to back it. According to a Brookings report, about 30% of workers
could see at least half of their task automated by AI and around 85% of us, we will experience
some level of certain disruption and that's massive the numbers are actually
huge and they are concerning and Lisa made a really important point about the
saying that we are not just talking about automation anymore we are talking
about a complete reconfiguration of human work she emphasized that we have
an urgent responsibility to invest
in reskilling and rethink labor policies to prevent mass unemployment. And I think she is
absolutely right because this isn't just a tech transition. We are talking about a societal one
that requires a thoughtful navigation. according to her she said the
companies that actually balance the innovation with human well-being are going to be the ones
that succeed long term it's as simple as that so if you're interested in the article you can check our secret network X profile to have a full read. And yes, I actually have to share this funny moment
because I know of a friend of mine in this tech space,
Big Buzz, that actually thought that that announcement was true
because secret network pulled an April Fool's joke
suggesting they were abandoning T technology
for zero knowledge
proofs exclusively. And of course, Secret had to post a follow up clarifying that Secret is still
very much a T based tech stack. And if you're not familiar with the tech details, T actually stands
for Trusted Execution Environment. And it is what basically allows Secret Network to offer those super fast, efficient, touring, complete smart contracts with confidential computing.
And if you ask me, I for one, I think what I found interesting in their clarification is that they are actually working with several zero-knowledge technology teams and also have an
upcoming upgrade based on something called fully homomorphic encryption. And yeah, according to the
reports, they are calling it IPS and delayed write buffer upgrade. And I am definitely curious to
learn more about how this will enhance secret privacy and scaling
capabilities because this actually sounds like they are taking a hybrid approach it's not just
t because secret is also recognizing that of course zk has its own potential and they are
trying to take a hybrid approach rather than an idea or strategy,
which actually makes a whole lot of sense to me.
And for those of us interested in the intersection of decentralized infrastructure
and AI, Secret Network last week shared an exclusive interview with Greg Osuri,
who is the founder of Akash Network and also Jillian
Gottsil from Block Leaders and the Street Roundtable and during this
interview Greg gave some fascinating insight into our Akash is positioning
itself in both deep in and AI spaces and if if you ask me, I'll see what really caught my attention.
Where is early teasers about what is actually coming next to a cache network?
So I want you guys to actually watch it.
So I won't actually spoil it for you guys.
But if you really think you are interested in decentralized computing resources for AI workloads, trust me, you'll
definitely want to check out this interview, which is available on SQL Networks X profile.
The synergy between compute marketplaces like Akash and privacy-focused networks like SQL is
something I am personally very excited about watching develop. Make sure you guys check out
the interview. And just a minute, guys. yeah welcome back guys so I have to take a quick walk watch our break yeah let's talk about the MCP
server development and this is something really cool because Alex Aldason, who happens to be the CEO at Secret Labs, last week shared a teaser about a remote MCP server running inside a secret virtual machine.
And this is part of what they are calling the AI revolution eating up in the secret ecosystem.
And from what I can tell tell they've built a sample
calculator that once more the video that has the audacious release it's actually
playful when you look at it because it's always adds to to the correct result
plus a busy crypto price Oracle and yeah the way I'm saying it it's my
actually sounds simple on the surface but the implications are actually very, very huge. We're talking about confidential AI computations happening within a secure environment. what we need for truly private AI applications where data security actually matters.
And for me, yes, I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on how this develops.
And I personally will advise you to do the same.
And yes, let's quickly move on to some exciting recognition news because
I see we have just a couple of minutes left secret network because based on
the announcement last week secret network has been nominated for best
cyber security or fraud protection Innovation at the Digital Commonwealth Awards 2025.
And Secret is up against some solid contenders like Coin Cover Global, Quintel Intelligence,
Sardine and Zocchio.
And the award ceremony is happening on April 28th at the historic Mansion House in London
after a day of panels and yeah obviously keynote
talks and like I said for every news I always trying to find something that actually
align with what interests me so I see what I actually recognize that secret
networks unique approach to blockchain privacy and security is something very
very applaudable and I'm glad that they actually got this recognition because
using cheese to create confidential smart contract is genuinely innovative
and it's great to see that secret network getting acknowledged by the broader industry.
So if you are interested in attending, of course, ticket links are very much available.
All you need to do is to check our secrets, X profile, because I am pretty sure secret made a report of the recognition to it.
And personally, I will be rooting for Secret Network to bring this home
because I actually found it painful when I realized that Secret actually lost to Sentinel,
talking about the Axon.
So I think we should win this.
And by God's grace, we are winning it.
So, yeah. think we should win this and by God's grace we are winning it so yeah so guys
there is something that could actually have big implications for the ecosystem
last week secret network made a post helping your partners at a few cloud to
get your art token listed on Binance. And yes, Secret have put a call for community support
in Binance listing pool. And this is one of those moments where community really matters. This is
when you show that yes, you are truly here for Secret and Secret partners. So if you want to help,
all you need is a Binance account with at least 0.01 BNB to cast your vote and
what is cool is that you can actually vote for up to five projects so you can
vote for other four projects aside hats token being listed on Binance so you
don't have to choose between your favorite and getting listed on Binance
is obviously huge for any tokens liquidity and
visibility so this could be a significant boost for a few cloud if it
happens and yes the partnership between secret network and I feel cloud makes a
all of sense given the complementary focus areas. And I personally am curious to see how this relationship develops
if the Binance listing goes true.
So guys, don't forget to show love to Arthur Cloud.
You should kindly vote for ads to be listed on Binance.
Now, for some Elt tech news that is pretty fascinating because last week, Secret Network made a congratulatory message to Moodle Health team on launching the Moodle Hub. coach that can track epigenetic health boost brain performance and also help you discover how to live
a better life and a longer life and some of the features sound really cutting-edge like innovative
we have ar health insight and personalized supplement recommendations and you know i'm
talking about is basically powered by the Moodle's DNA
token which suggests they are using some kind of tokenized incentive system for
else tracking and yes it is available right now on both iOS and Android so if
you are making use of iPhone or you making use of iDroid you don't have to
bother yourself because it's available
for both versions and you can download it now and what I find particularly interesting about this is
how it represents the growing intersection between health data artificial intelligence and blockchain
artificial intelligence and blockchain because given the sensitive nature of
health information I can see why they should be natural synergies between
privacy-focused network like secret and it's definitely worth checking out if
you are into qualified self or longevity tech so guys uh check out model health app and uh trust me you're gonna love it and uh yes
uh due to time constraints let's quickly go through shared protocol btc use strategies
uh yeah we are talking about d5 protocol uh i like had some pretty impressive yield opportunities for bitcoin order so if you are a btc order you
need to listen up uh they are claiming i mean shit protocol now are claiming to offer everything
from 50 times exposure on btc to 10 single-sided you all with the privacy advantages of secret
network and uh why i see this to be an interesting ones is that traditionally
Bitcoin has been somewhat limited in terms of DeFi utility but cross-chain solutions like these are
changing that narrative and the privacy aspect is particularly noteworthy because with traditional DeFi your huge strategies are visible because
everyone can see it and which can be problematic for various reasons front running and the likes
so the ability to keep your financial activities private while still participating in yield
generation is a compelling value proposition so if you are holding bitcoin uh that is just
sitting there not generating returns uh this might be worth looking into and uh yes similarly
shared protocol is also promoting various yield option for ethereum orders we're talking about
it now uh drawing parlors to what you might find on platforms like Have or Uniswap.
But this time it is with something we call
the privacy layer.
Shade Protocol released a five minute guide
showing options including 50 times exposure
on wrapped eat or sticked eat.
And this actually caught my attention
because 20% APR that is an upper
centigrate for borrowing wrapped it trust me yes you had it right 20% and
any interest for boring not even for lending you are the one boring but still
you are hanging though I haven't actually dug into the mechanics of how
this work yet but it's definitely intriguing.
And the broader point here is that Shade is positioning itself as a comprehensive DeFi
platform that can accommodate everything from conservative to aggressive strategies,
all while keeping your transactions confidential. And trust me, this kind of privacy-first DeFi is still relatively niche compared to the
mainstream platform. But yeah, Shared Protocol addresses real concern about transaction visibility
and front-running are more reason for you guys to check it out. And yeah, before we leave Shared
Protocol, let's quickly talk about the performance of the stablecoin,
which is Silk, which they happen to claim that it is 20% against USD over the last two years,
advertising 9% staking rewards, and they suggest it outpaces inflation by 20% annually.
Now, I should note that this is the marketing claim and what research and further.
And if you are always on this page, Pope Black used to say that this is not a financial advice.
So kindly do your own research. But trust me, if this is accurate, it's pretty remarkable
performance for a stable coin. And most stable coins are designed to maintain
parity with fiat currencies you understand and not actually outperform fiat currencies but this time
the privacy aspect of silk is also emphasized aside outpacing fiat currencies your transactions
and holdings remain confidential, unlike with transparent
stablecoins where anyone can actually track your activity. And in this current economic climate,
where inflation concerns are still top of mind for many of us, a stablecoin like seal
that potentially preserves and grows purchasing power is an interesting value proposition.
So I would advise that you guys.
