\nTurns out Ledger can hold some of your crypto wallet\u2019s keys, if you agree to it<\/br>
\n2023-05-18 21:43:45<\/br><\/p>\n

After all the backlash, Ledger tried to defend its position, but somehow managed to enrage its users further in a\u00a0now-deleted<\/b>\u00a0tweet<\/a>, \u201cTechnically speaking it is and always has been possible to write firmware that facilitates key extraction. You have always trusted Ledger not to deploy such firmware whether you knew it or not.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

On Thursday, the firm\u2019s chief technical officer Charles Guillemet put out a tweet thread<\/a> in an attempt to diffuse the fire. \u201cIf you want to use Ledger Recover, you\u2019ll have to consent on your device for the backup or the recovery process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even as crypto exchanges exit Canada, Coinbase intends to play the \u2018long game\u2019<\/a> (TC+)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The world\u2019s largest crypto exchange, Binance, said last week that it would stop servicing Canadian customers due to \u201cnew guidance related to stablecoins and investor limits provided to crypto exchanges.\u201d But while the exchange said it will return to the country \u201csomeday,\u201d its exit leaves behind a huge gap that its competitors are aiming to fill.

The latest pod<\/h3>\n

For this week\u2019s episode<\/a>, Jacquelyn<\/a> interviewed Sergey Nazarov<\/a>, co-founder of Chainlink, a protocol that provides an oracle network to power smart contracts.<\/p>\n

Chainlink is also known as a web3 services platform that connects people, businesses and data with the world of web3. And for good reason \u2014 it has enabled over $7 trillion in transaction volume across DeFi, gaming, NFTs and other major industries.<\/p>\n

Prior to co-founding Chainlink, Nazarov co-founded four other businesses, most recently SmartContract, which focused on smart contracts.<\/p>\n

We discussed a number of things surrounding smart contracts, oracle networks, cross-chain interoperability and Nazarov\u2019s long-term vision for Chainlink.<\/p>\n
