“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn a crypto bill called the Clarity Act,” opens @nikhileshde @CoinDesk to audience giggles. Now at @avax summit: powerhouse panel of policy experts!!!! @amandatums @SummerMersinger @_jikim @CodyCarboneDC

We @fund_DeFi had the great honor of advocating for DeFi developers and users in the lead up to today's vote on the Clarity Act. DEF's mission is to advocate for good policy for those working on and using decentralized technology, and we take that job seriously - and the work is not done. We are grateful to have had a seat at the table throughout the process, worked closely with members of Congress and their staff, collaborated with so many in the industry, and most of all, to have had the privilege of advocating for software developers who are innovating in ways we couldn't imagine a decade ago. We will continue showing up, pushing for reasonable, tech-neutral policies and supporting the builders creating what comes next. To the members and the staffers who took our calls and pushed for good policy when it was inconvenient to do so: thank you. Some of you fought for developers at moments when there was no reward in it. To everyone across the industry who worked on this alongside us, who helped us understand your work and how the tech functions, and who actually believe in this stuff, you know who you are and you know how we feel about you. Last, but most of all, to the @fund_DeFi team, you are the best team there is. Small but mighty. You worked around the clock to review legislative text from the perspective of protecting developers, most of whom you haven't even met yet. I'm proud to work with you @_ayanadow @glzavatone @jenn_rosenthal @mbernstein6395 @itstaliad

DEF’s CEO & CLO @amandatums will take the stage on Monday at @SolanaInstitute’s Washington x Wall Street Summit with security experts: @claudijd @_mwc @NotDeGhost. They’ll unpack what “onchain security” means, how it’s unique, great work being done today, and what’s to come.
