Funding independent research: MASTR’s Giveth announcement

A small update from my side as a builder who often gets sidelined here, although maybe 2 or 3 people are actually interested.

A small update from my side as a builder who often gets sidelined here, although maybe 2 or 3 people are actually interested.

➡️ I’m now listed on Giveth:

Hope dies last.

➡️ My crypto Wiki / Knowledge section, which I’m constantly expanding, has apparently already passed 2,000 visitors within roughly 2 weeks, with a surprisingly high number of returning readers:

➡️ MASTRpass Update v1.5 is now live in the Solana dApp Store for Seeker.

➡️ On the security side, the experience has been far less encouraging.

Most of the Web3 projects I submitted bug bounty findings to have still not responded properly. That includes @pacifica_fi and @Backpack , where some of the reports involved High-severity vulnerabilities.

It has now been around 1 month, and the findings remain open.

I’ll talk about all of it eventually. Everything in its own time.

I did essentially the same thing with a Web2 platform recently.

Completely different experience: professional communication, proper handling, fair treatment, and an actual process.

Anyway, I’m still building.

Why MASTR refuses paid promotional deals

But the thought of posting a product here, praising it, telling people how great it is and putting my name behind things I cannot fully control makes my skin crawl.

Solana: paid promotion · 6 Sep 2026

What disappoints me most about this space rn is how different the reality is from the opportunities everyone keeps talking about...or how it changed. That applies to building useful things too, not talking about trading.
