In a year where many early-stage crypto projects have struggled to sustain investor attention, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) continues to build steady traction. The Ethereum-based DeFi protocol has passed several key milestones simultaneously, growing its funding base, expanding its community, and progressing its product development roadmap. As Stage 6 of its presale surpasses the halfway mark, … Read more
Artificial intelligence is the most transformative technology of our time, but it’s also one of the most centralized. Big tech companies control the data, the models, and the infrastructure. Ashton Hettiarachi, Founder and Architect of OpenxAI and Openmesh Network, believes AI should be decentralised and democratised for all. His vision – An open-source, permissionless AI … Read more

2 years ago, Nigeria became clear to me. One evening before my epiphany, a friend from uni sent me a worried message, “I may have to leave the country for a while”, he said. “If I do, I’m leaving my properties in your care.” My head rushed with questions, but I quickly understood the situation. … Read more
Who’s on the other side of the screen? Do you really know? Today’s social proof can be engineered, no matter the format. Comments, photos, reviews. But I thought Trustpi—hush. Even Trustpilot reviews can be doctored, with enough time to create the opportunity to gain your trust before they’re flagged. It’s no surprise that shopping and … Read more
There’s this running joke that replays in my head whenever I go shopping. Imagine you’re an extraterrestrial creature observing buyers and sellers trading, unnoticed. What are they exchanging? Ever since the 2023 elections in Nigeria, where we experienced an accursed cash crunch (thanks to the then incumbent president’s same failed policy repeated for the second … Read more

In the early 2010s, Spread Networks invested about $300 million into a direct fiber-optic line between Chicago and New York. At the time, Chicago was the main hub for futures trading, while New York handled equities. Regular routes took detours that added dozens of kilometers, but the new cable cut latency from ~17 down to … Read more

Modern app starts simple, then the business logic grows, gets tangled in the infrastructure, and before you know it, you’re wrestling an unmaintainable monolith. For complex, multi-step processes — like video processing — this trajectory is a nightmare. That’s why Domain-Driven Design (DDD) isn’t just a pattern; it’s a lifeline. By placing the core business … Read more
Netflix doesn’t join standards bodies. They build streaming protocols, not bureaucracy. So when they showed up as an “Interested Party” at the CA/Browser Forum to support 47-day certificate requirements, everyone paid attention. Their message? “We need these deadlines to justify automation investment internally.“ Read that again. The world’s largest streaming service was literally begging for … Read more
Building educational hardware isn’t just about blinking LEDs – it’s a marathon from fragile breadboards to durable classroom tools. This story shares the lessons, frustrations and small victories that turn one working prototype into a thousand reliable ones.
I explain why relying on phishing training is obsolete. Agentic AI isn’t just sending smarter emails: it’s an autonomous, self-correcting threat that weaponises human trust at machine speed. My GRC work shows how these agents systematically bypass third-party controls and achieve military-grade coordination across IT and OT, demanding an urgent and autonomous shift in our … Read more
AI’s future belongs to builders who prioritize reliability over hype—engineering self-healing, observable, chaos-tested systems that earn trust by staying up when everything else crashes.
Most organizations conduct cloud security audits regularly. They check compliance boxes, review configurations, and generate reports. Then six months later, they discover a breach that the audit completely missed. The problem isn’t that audits are useless. It’s that most audits answer the wrong questions. They focus on whether your setup matches a checklist rather than … Read more
TL;DR: Caching bit shifts looks smart but makes code up to 6× slower. Modern CPUs and compilers make direct computation faster than memory lookups – measure, don’t assume. The Interview Question You’re given an array and asked to generate its powerset – all possible subsets. For [1, 2, 3], that’s: [], [1], [2], [1,2], [3], … Read more
Amadeus Protocol is an open-source blockchain pioneering autonomous intelligence through useful proof of work.
Phishing has long been a go-to tactic for cybercriminals looking to steal sensitive information, from login credentials to personal financial data. Traditionally, phishing attempts were relatively easy to spot, often riddled with suspicious grammar or generic phrases like “Dear Sir/Madam” and “Click here to claim your prize!” However, with the advent of advanced language models … Read more
It won’t be overnight. Equifax won’t disappear with a single blockchain but its obsolescence is coming. Imagine a future where credit histories are global public records (with encryption), where a thrifty small business owner in Nigeria or Bangladesh can get a home loan in New York or Lagos based on blockchain reputation alone. Companies like … Read more
As a creative collaborator at a Warsaw-based video production company and a Gen AI nerd, I’ve spent the past year toying around with video generation tools—from Sora to Runway and, more recently, Veo-3.

Let’s be honest: keeping up with content optimization is exhausting. For years, we’ve been chasing Google’s algorithm, tweaking keywords, and building backlinks. Just when we thought we had a handle on it, the entire game changed. Now, we’re not just writing for Google; we’re writing for ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and a dozen other AI-powered … Read more
In 2023, a textile exporter in Lagos watched helplessly as the Nigerian naira collapsed against the dollar. She had signed contracts months earlier to deliver fabric to European buyers at fixed naira prices, confident that she could hedge her currency exposure through her bank. But when she approached the bank to lock in exchange rates, … Read more
Before writing this article, I had a couple of conversations with engineers concerning building peer-to-peer applications, what they think about it, their experiences, and approaches. Many times, we don’t get past the “what they think about it” part of the conversation because many of them don’t actually know what it is outside its famous misconceptions. … Read more
Ever had a shop assistant walk up and ask, “Can I help you with something?” Humans can guess instinctively. We observe a person’s clothing, body language, confidence, and even how they speak then guide them toward choices that seem to fit their style or needs. All these are features about a person. We analyze them … Read more
