Big takeaways: 🔥 Forta Firewall is becoming the default security and compliance layer for rollups 💰 100% of Firewall revenue flows back to Forta treasury 🫂 Community will determine how revenue is allocated 🌊 Buybacks and add'l liquidity are being considered
Forta is evolving, and so is $FORT As Firewall becomes the security and compliance layer for rollups, the foundation is being laid for the next era of on-chain security. And with it, FORT is stepping into a new chapter 👇

Agree with @PaulFrambot, vaults are the future of onchain asset management. https://t.co/aNVWeVApnR

As they should. You want as many people with different opinions to experiment with different approaches. That's how we get to the best result as soon as possible.
I'm not sure who needs to hear this but. Tempo is 1 thousand percent going to maximize for Tempo not for Ethereum, not for ETH. That's already they're already doing - by launching an L1, by hiring Ethereum talent.

Why DEX integration into exchanges is critical.
If you list everything, you're an exchange If you selectively offer good assets only, you're a good broker If you purposefully do NOT offer good assets, but list all absurdly crappy assets, AND list the assets at prices that go straight down, you're a bad broker (i.e. Coinbase)

The cheaper your txs fees are, the more MEV spam you will attract.

If USDM yield subsidizes tx fees, doesn't it disproportionally benefit users who transact the most...aka MEV bots? If I'm holding a stablecoin that generates yield, I want the yield. I don't want to subsidize MEV spam.
Introducing MegaUSD (USDm), the native stablecoin of MegaETH. Built in collaboration with @ethena_labs. $USDM aligns incentives across stakeholders, letting users and apps enjoy the lowest fees possible while routing scalable value back to MegaETH.

This is the only way a centralized exchange can practically support the "long tail" of digital assets. Just be the front end. https://t.co/8cb5ldQTcD

Users will be able to trade on DEXes such as Aerodrome and Uniswap without having to leave the Coinbase app.

Kraken’s @inkonchain integrated Forta Firewall for real-time protection against exploits, scams, and compliance risks. As an Ethereum L2 built on the Optimism Superchain, INK now offers security and compliance by default. Read more 👇

Congrats @jordanmessina and team!
I am very excited to announce our acquisition of @nash_app (fka Once Upon). @jordanmessina , @paulcowgill and @cdt_eth are joining @Chainalysis to build an AI platform team. I met Jordan over three years ago when they were building one of the industry’s best block explorers

Read long form
I hate giving advice, but when young people ask me there’s two things I say 1) give yourself room to make mistakes and take calculated risks. It’s hard to understand just how impossible the internet has made that for an 18 year old 2) read books. Read long form. Get into the

Tough day. Like many of my relationships in this industry, my interactions with Eugene were exclusively over video chat and Telegram. But it was obvious he was incredibly sharp, focused and committed to making @plumenetwork a giant success. I will miss working with him.
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of a tragic loss within our company. Earlier this week, we lost our cofounder and dear friend, Eugene. We’re in shock. Eugene was brilliant, deeply curious, and brought so much talent and heart to everything he did. Our thoughts are

Massive s/o to @altcap for getting this done. Everyone in America should have "skin in the game". Hopefully it has an impact on financial literacy too.
The INVEST AMERICA ACT is included in the Reconciliation Bill. Every child born (3.7 M kids / yr) gets a private investment acct w $1000 in the S&P 500. Called “Trump Accts” in the Bill, they launch for all kids in 2026 w partial access at age 18 & full access at 35. 🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸

Solana is proving there is still a ton of demand for scarce *physical products* (branded phone, branded Ledger). Higher barrier to entry too, so way less competition.
🚨 Solana Flex Edition Phase 1 = Sold Out In less than 24 hours, the Ledger Flex Solana Edition flew off the shelves. Huge thanks to the @solana community, your support made this possible. This limited edition was built for you, and you showed up. Missed Phase 1? Phase 2

Tbh, I don't think Ethereum's competitive advantage has anything to do with censorship resistance. It's first mover advantage, dev community and brand. And don't forget, Ethereum forked after DAO hack when it was a similar "age" to SUI.
remember, every smart contract chain other than Ethereum is just an enterprise blockchain SUI hacker moving from SUI into ETH because Ethereum is actually censorship-resistant

Decentralization ≠ censorship resistance. Both are a spectrum, and the market (end users) will ultimately tell you what it prefers. 99.999% of end users don't care about decentralization or censorship resistance. They just want to feel safe transacting on chain. Hard to argue
decentralization is a lie they’re blocking transactions for the $200m “hack” that happened on $SUI the mask is now off

I'm always surprised (and frustrated) when I learn how much malicious activity there is onchain. 1/4 of ALL tokens on @base are rug pulls w/ malicious code 🤢🤢🤢
Heads up! 🚨 Nearly 90% of tokens deployed on Uniswap v2 on Base in a recent 28-day window were hard rug pulls. An analysis by Forta’s Machine Learning team uncovered some wild findings. 🧵👇
