  • Open AI o1 pro After analyzing the pitch deck for NURI, a biometric smart card solution for cryptocurrency and traditional finance, I have identified strengths, gaps, and improvements necessary to make it investment-ready. Below is a structured briefing for enhancing the deck, supported by additional research insights and concrete suggestions. Current Strengths in the Pitch Deck 1. Unique Product Proposition: • Combines biometric security, crypto wallet, Visa card, and FIDO2 passkey authentication in one device. • Highlights advanced security (Multi-Party Computation) and ease of use (no seed phrase). 2. Clear Monetization Plan: • Revenue streams from transactional fees, card sales, cross-border remittances, and in-app exchanges. 3. Market Opportunity:

  • NPM FUND TL;DR: How the Bonding Curve Smart Contract Funds Open-Source Projects This system solves the funding problem for open-source projects by creating a self-sustaining economic model powered by token bonding curves. Here’s how it works: Continuous Funding Mechanism:Every time someone buys or sells tokens, a percentage of the transaction (e.g., 21%) goes to the project maintainers. This creates a reliable income stream for developers, funded directly by the community. Early Supporters Fund Development: Early adopters buy tokens at lower prices, providing initial capital for the project. As more people join, the token price increases, rewarding early supporters and funding the project further.

  • To use your FIDO2/Passkey-compatible device (like the CryptoKona card) as part of an MPC (Multi-Party Computation) setup, you need to focus on leveraging the cryptographic capabilities of the FIDO2 protocol while integrating it into a distributed key management system. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. Understanding FIDO2/Passkey Limitations FIDO2/Passkey devices are primarily designed for authentication (e.g., logging into websites or apps) and not for key storage or blockchain transaction signing. However, they do have some cryptographic capabilities that can be repurposed for MPC: FIDO2 Key Pairs:FIDO2 devices generate a public-private key pair for each service (relying party). The private key is stored securely in the device's hardware and cannot be exported. The public key is shared with the service for verification. Signing Capabilities:
