Earn more. Across m̶o̶r̶e̶ all sources. Nook is expanding to more earning sources. More chains. Including @ethereum @base @monad and @Optimism. Connecting you to over $1B in TVL. Coming soon.

pretty crazy if true tl:dr - hackers casually gained trust via irl conference meet, setup tg channel and became a customer, started building integrations over 6 months and then got one person with a testflight link to show off what they built

Chronicle now provides Proof of Asset verification for @Securitize’s Tokenized AAA CLO Fund (STAC). STAC is a tokenized fund that aims to invest substantially all of the fund’s assets in U.S. dollar‑denominated AAA‑rated CLO tranches from both the primary and secondary markets.

Assuming that’s correct, $6T of US Treasuries will be bought and the BoA CEO will have to convince the US government that it’s a terrible idea. I’m quite sure the argument can be made, and I look forward to hearing it.

January 21, 2026 is locked in. ☀️ Lazy Summer protocol is bringing $SUMR to market through @AerodromeFi, a fair launch mechanism designed to reward early participants and create sustainable liquidity from day one.

At DevConnect Buenos Aires, the details of EIL @ethinteroplayer - Ethereum Interoperability Layer were unveiled. We’ve been deep-diving interop protocols for months and our initial assessment of EIL contracts (deployed on testnets already) is following 🧵👇

Alex and the team @KeyringNetwork are on to something…

Return of the Fink.

I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a while. The truth is… Optimism did too much and focused too little. We massively over-hired without a clear strategy. And token price is in the gutter. We’ve been bathing in tactics for a long time, clinging to previous successes like launching Base, Ink, Unichain, Worldchain, Soneium… without building the operating machinery to continue that momentum into a market that’s dramatically different today. Sun Tzu says: “Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” For a long time, I rationalized our difficulties as due to regulatory uncertainty, market noise, and the impossibility of coordinating 3+ independent organizations. But at this point, doesn’t matter. The world today is vastly different than when Optimism started. So we’ve been upgrading Optimism for this new world. We’ve parted ways with many talented teammates, re-unified execution under a single entity, and re-built our engineering and enterprise sales orgs. The goal is simple: 1. Build the most scalable financial infrastructure 2. Bring enterprises and their assets onchain 3. Maximize the productivity of those assets Enterprise deals are now a competitive space. When we talk to these enterprises, we see Solana, Tempo, Arbitrum, Avalanche, all trying to help enterprises come onchain. But I’m confident OP Stack is going to beat them all. Why? The OP Stack is the only stack that has successfully brought & scaled multiple enterprises onchain. We’ve seen what works & what doesn’t work. We’ve earned this knowledge by—honestly—wasting a lot of money. We’ve seen every single enterprise blockchain failure mode because we’ve been doing this longer than anyone else. Here’s why enterprises consistently end up choosing OP Stack: enterprises’ expectations on scale and reliability are far beyond what Web3 is used to, and the OP Stack is the closest to what enterprises need. That’s not a coincidence - we’ve co-developed this infrastructure alongside the fastest growing enterprise in web3: Base. At the end of the day, enterprises want to control their own economics. They aren't gonna be sharecroppers on Stripe's blockchain. The OP Stack vision will win. Shared standards balanced with chain autonomy. The starting gun is now. See you in the ring.

Congrats to the @humntech team on the WaaP launch. Trustless recovery, plug-ins, the ability to safely delegate to AI agents, and more. Big things happening @ human.tech.

Stablecoins are now law in the US. We need to use this opportunity to build more distributed and resilient systems, rather than double down on entirely centralized constructions Excited to welcome @aplus to the game 🔥

Yeah, I hear you, but first it has to stop f**king itself.

IT'S ALIVE! Drosera is here.

Massive!! LFG!!!

Reminder: sentiment, rather than fundamentals, drives the value of tokens without intrinsic value. Securities operate similarly but have a fundamental floor. Ultimately, you’re just competing with others who believe they can exit faster than you.

Simple question, based on a simple notion I have been operating under. Aren't yield-bearing stablecoins securities?
