Over the past few months, I’ve spent time testing every major AI receptionist platform. This isn’t just out of curiosity or experimentation but because I kept hearing the same story from business owners: “We’re losing deals because we can’t answer the phone.” A missed call isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a customer choosing your competitor.

We are excited to announce that today we are releasing a new beta feature that aims to help crowdfunding creators manage and mitigate the financial impact the recent global tariff increases will have on their campaigns, businesses, and backers. The new Tariff Manager enables BackerKit creators – those who use BackerKit Crowdfunding or BackerKit Pledge Manager – to apply a tariff fee as a separate line item into their backer’s carts upon checkout as well as clearly communicate the reason for the fee with their backers. The tariff fee applied to each item or SKU is determined by the tariff profile creators…

Ledger customers woke up on Jan. 5 to an email no one wants to see: their names and contact information had been exposed through a breach at Global-e, a third-party payment processor.The company clarified what hadn’t been compromised: no payment cards, no passwords, and critically, no 24-word recovery phrases. The hardware remained untouched, the firmware secure, the seed storage intact.For a data breach, this is the best-case scenario. Except in crypto, a leaked shipping label can be the first step in a phishing funnel or, in rare worst-case scenarios, a knock at the door.The real vulnerability isn’t the walletBleepingComputer reported…

Maelstrom, the investment fund founded by Arthur Hayes, is starting 2026 with what Hayes calls “almost maximum risk” exposure, extending an aggressive stance adopted in the second half of last year and pointing to minimal stablecoin exposure.Hayes said Maelstrom remains deep in risk assets, but with a refined focus on privacy coins like zcash ZEC$504.69 and emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens now leading the portfolio, in an essay published on Tuesday.“Maelstrom entered 2026 with almost maximum risk,” Hayes wrote. “While we will continue to invest spare cash generated from various financing trades into Bitcoin, our dollar stables position is very…

Thanks to Arantxa Zapico, Benedikt Wagner, and Dmitry Khovratovich from the EF cryptography team for their contributions, and to Ladislaus, Kev, Alex, and Marius for the careful review and feedback. The zkEVM ecosystem has been sprinting for a year. And it worked! We crossed the finish line for real-time proving! Now comes the next phase: building something mainnet-grade. From speed to security In July, we published a north-star definition for realtime proving. Nine months later, the ecosystem crushed it: proving latency dropped from 16 minutes to 16 seconds, costs collapsed 45×, and zkVMs now prove 99% of all Ethereum blocks…

You’ve probably heard that something like 90 to 95% of people who trade money in the markets or “speculate” in the markets, end up failing over the long-run. Whilst there can be a multitude of reasons for this mass failure, the primary one that underlies all the…
