This week, we have:

• A open source gateway for unified LLM access on DevNTell.

• Crosschain bridging on DevNTell.

• Dev, Design, DeFi, and PM jobs.

​In the week's first episode, we'll be joined by Ismail (aka smakosh) and Luca, founders of LLM Gateway. LLM Gateway is an open-source API gateway for Large Language Models (LLMs) which acts as a middleware between your applications and various LLM providers.

​Viewers of this episode will learn about LLM Gateway, why it was built and the problem it solves.

​Our second episode of DevNTell this week features Kanishk Khurana, DevRel at Across Protocol. Across is an interoperability protocol powered by intents. It is the only cross-chain intent protocol in production today, enabling the fastest and lowest-cost way to transfer value without security tradeoffs vs. traditional bridges.

​Viewers of this DevNTell will see Kanishk give us an overview of Across Protocol, a discussion around bridging and how you can start using Across today!

Last week on DevNTell, Dylan Fiedler (Head of Platform) from ARIO was a guest on the show. ARIO seeks to create a decentralized and incentivized cloud network aimed at attracting more gateways to the Arweave network therefore making the permanent web more accessible to all.

Viewers of the episode saw Dylan demo Wayfinder, a client-side routing and verification protocol, which makes accessing Arweave content fast, reliable, and verifiable.

Tornado Cash's Roman Storm Found Guilty on One Charge in Partial Verdict

Roman Storm, the developer for Tornado Cash, was found guilty of operating an unlicensed money transmitter by a Manhattan jury. The jury did not convict on a sanctions charge and was deadlocked on a money laundering charge.

Tornado Cash Verdict Threatens to Hold Back DeFi Where it Matters Most

Roman Storm was found guilty of conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business, a charge carrying up to 5 years prison but the jury deadlocked on more severe money laundering and sanctions violation counts.

Prosecutors alleged Storm knowingly enabled $1B+ in illicit flows, including North Korean Lazarus Group funds, through the non-custodial privacy tool. The verdict sets a perilous precedent: developers may face liability for how open-source software is used, even without control over it.

SEC Drops Ripple Appeal Signaling Shift in Crypto Regulation — But Uncertainty Remains

The SEC and Ripple have officially ended their five-year legal battle, dropping all appeals in a landmark move signaling a potential shift in U.S. crypto regulation. This closes a contentious chapter that began in 2020 when the SEC sued Ripple for selling its XRP token as unregistered securities. 

Solana Labs and Jito Labs served Pump Fun lawsuit

Solana Labs and Jito Labs now face accusations of enabling Pump Fun's alleged $1.5 billion "illegal casino" operation, as law firms Wolf Popper and Burwick Law formally served them with a merged lawsuit this week. The suit alleges the blockchain infrastructure providers acted as "co-conspirators," helping Pump Fun exploit their technology to dodge security laws and consumer protections while laundering crypto stolen from ByBit. Key Solana Foundation executives, including General Counsel Yelena Cavanaugh, were also served alongside the companies.
