@gakonst credits Foundry with helping move the needle and calls smart contracts "critical infrastructure for the next 100 years of payments and finance."

Surreal to see our work at @paradigm & @tempo in an @OpenAI research paper about agents and EVM smart contract security.

Smart contracts are critical infrastructure for the next 100 years of payments and finance.

Love that Foundry helped move the needle here.
