“When Lace starts supporting PGP encryption for wallets, I’ll take some ADA, probably for a million dollars, put it in a wallet encrypted with PGP and post it publicly on my Twitter so you can try it. To hack. I am very confident in these standards”said Charles Hoskinson.
Recall that Lace is a multi-blockchain crypto wallet that aims to seamlessly connect everything on Web2 and Web3 to a single interface.
