We are not here to waste your time or give your team additional work If confirming a finding means a Full E2E test with multiple nodes running while handling asynchronous operations, concurrent message processing, eventual consistency verification, fault injection, and recovery under sustained load + a waxing moon cycle ... No problemo Zero slop guaranteed
How a Grego AI engagement works: 1) Senior security researchers lead every engagement 2) They calibrate our AI harness to your protocol's code and context 3) Every finding is triaged and confirmed by a researcher before it's handed to your team All signal. Zero noise.

I guarantee you guys Jensen’s wife won’t leave him. If anything, she’s MORE ATTRACTED to him now. BADBOY DARK TRIAD serial cheater who RISKED IT ALL for some POONTANG He didn’t play it safe. He didn’t sit there thinking about LOSING IT ALL if he’s caught. He’s one of the biggest names in the world. One of the RICHEST and most INFLUENTIAL humans of modern day tech. He let his MICRO LEAD HIM [I’m not talking about Micron Technology] And ended up in a Chinese spy network with wiretapped hoes and blackmail extortion. The type of shit you see in Steven Spielberg movies. ACTION PACKED LIFE. What do you think his wife is gonna say? “Omg how could you?” He FINALLY added some spice to their mundane marriage. She probably thought HE NEVER HAD IT IN HIM. And the entire time this 5’6 RICECEL was living a double life. In the daytime, he’s the face of the AMERICAN ECONOMY. During the night, he’s ripping open HONEY PACKS and SLAYING Secret Agent WAIFUS without ANYONE KNOWING. Look, If he was a regular guy fucking around on the side with some mid bitch, Totally different story. But when you’re a DECABILLIONAIRE “good guy” who catches everyone off guard by being a DEVIOUS CHANG [The Chinese version of CHAD], It’s a massive SMV boost. His wife will love him x10 harder. ~ Dr. Axius.

Looking to work with the top researchers in the world. My DMs are open.
Grego AI has paid out over $700,000 in bounty incentive rewards to our SRs this year alone. We value human expertise and incentivize appropriately. Now recruiting el33t Web2 hackers with a proven track record. DM @0xriptide if you are up for the challenge

my son claude'd up his first game: Pixel Swarm, a bullet-hell game with solo and multiplayer modes for up to 32 players. there’s a free demo or $1.99 to buy a copy + includes an .apk thanks for any support you can give. for someone like me who never plays mobile games i got hooked in last night beta testing fwiw 😅 zenerationzero.itch.io/pixel…

A new $10K pledge for Ethereum security! @therealgregoAI has committed $10,000 to the Open Standard and Automated Triage Tooling for Ethereum Security Issues initiative in TheDAO's ETHSecurity Initiatives Round. This grant will support Runtime Verification's work on open-source tools that help security teams check whether reported vulnerabilities can actually be reproduced under real-world conditions. With AI making security reports easier to generate, the need for reliable, automated triage is growing. The aim is simple: spend less time sorting through invalid reports and more time addressing real security threats. Big thanks to GregoAI for backing this work! Explore the initiative and help fund it: initiatives.thedao.fund/init…

Open X and you get the full spectrum every morning End of the world to blissful optimism Advise to take everything with a grain of salt and come to your own conclusions But I will add that over the course of history end of the worlders have had a terrible track record 🫠

We recently started hunting bugs outside of Web3 using @therealgregoAI with impressive results This is one of the first vulnerabilities we have been able to disclose (with many more to come) TLDR: Apple's PCC revocation check was a no-op and revoked nodes kept getting the mesh keys for in-flight Apple Intelligence data Fixed in 26.4. Happy halloween! 🎃 @elonmusk a humble request for full markdown support in X articles as technical write-ups become difficult to accurately comprehend without it

Close to 1,000 people registered for Risky Business, Singapore. Only 110 made it into the room. Tight curation makes for great conversations, and plenty of great conversations were had. Thank you to the builders, protocols and capital allocators who kicked off their @token2049 week with us. See you at the next one. 🫡

One of the top AI hackers on Immunefi @0xriptide: "AI is bringing back the same bugs we saw five years ago. We're not seeing anything new. Developers will naturally get lazy and start vibe coding everything. What will separate teams is how they build. Some will take shortcuts, while others will stay focused on security and building things right." Full interview below.

A note to those building on chain in 2026: vibe coding + high code velocity + bull market pace + rapid TVL growth = bugs galore we see many teams building skyscrapers on sand with a "fix it later" mentality initially this works and they think they are geniuses ... but eventually someone will find the big, protocol wrecking, critical bug capital flight and brand destruction happens overnight entire savings lost, lives ruined financially, lawsuits filed, death threats received i've seen it happen time and time again and it will happen to YOU if this is your approach to building on the blockchain riptide's recommendations: 1) find a balance between securing the code and shipping fast. the security strategy should not be to push critical fixes like OTA updates for an XBOX game when any significant TVL is at risk. 2) invest in top tier human security talent. AI + expert SRs are a force multiplier. get a team that builds with a security first mindset from day 1. 3) properly incentivize responsible disclosure and treat your whitehats like kings. they are your last defense and will go out of their way to ensure your success if treated well remember that you may only get one shot at building a successful project that makes you millions of dollars ... best of luck anon

have you ever wanted to come on the now legendary @bountyhunt3rz pod? now is your chance anon SR
🚨We now have a live website for new guests that would like to come on the podcast! 🚨 You can self-submit and I will review all submissions personally. The idea is to build a queue of potential guests so that I can put out more episodes on a consistent basis going forward. Check it out here: bountyhunt3rz.fm/ Thank you to the champion @khubak for putting this whole thing together

looks like a whitehat got tired of running sims and wanted to feel something … caught on purpose or missed a step?
The funds from the $3.8M NEAR Intents hack were sent back in full. We are stopping the investigation. Please use bug bounties instead of disrupting the services.

"How would a human even find this?" Justus Hanna (@0xriptide) on the $250K bug his AI caught: it chained multiple vulnerability classes with an edge-case timing exploit. The probability of a human reaching that same conclusion? Very low. 🎧 CypherTalk: podbean.com/ep/pb-e9u3w-1b5f…
