I am committing 500 ETH to the Defi united recovery fund. This represents a large part of my crypto holdings, but there are things that are more important than money - Like Stani, I have been working on Aave since the beginning and the only thing I care about is to see it succeed. There are no defeats in life, only lessons. We will be coming back stronger. Aave will win.

Bybit, as the biggest holder and supporter of Mantle, will vote YES for this proposal. When we got hacked the industry got together and helped us. It is the only right thing that we do the same to unit together and walk out from difficult times.

EtherFi Foundation contributing 5k ETH to rsETH relief vehicle. More community members are stepping in to a united effort to support DeFi.

Chainlink’s mission from day one: build the most secure & decentralized infra to safely scale DeFi into a trillion-dollar industry. This uncompromising approach to security is what makes Chainlink CCIP the industry-standard for cross-chain interop. 🧵⬇️ blog.chain.link/ccip-cross-cha…

NEW: Big-4 firm Deloitte & Touche LLP completed SOC 2 Type 2 examination for Chainlink CCIP & Data Feeds. Chainlink is the only data and interop oracle platform meeting key institutional security standards: • SOC 2 Type 2 • SOC 2 Type 1 • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification

EXTREMELY timely security milestone from Chainlink Big-4 accounting firm @Deloitte just completed a SOC 2 Type 2 examination for Chainlink CCIP and Data Feeds (Price Feeds, Proof of Reserve, NAV Feeds) A SOC 2 Type 2 is an independent audit verifying that an organization's security, availability, and confidentiality controls have operated effectively over a sustained evaluation period, typically 3 to 12 months (in this case 6 months) While this kind of milestone may sound boring, this is exactly the kind of attestation that major enterprises and financial institutions look for before integrating with a technology vendor Chainlink is now the only oracle platform holding SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 1, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification

I'm dropping a thread of all the protocols that had to freeze their interop because of LayerZero being compromised. Let's go:

If it’s onchain, It’s LINKed

chaos labs is paid $2.4m/year as aave's risk manager and never once checked that rsETH was running a 1/1 DVN config on layerzero before approving it at 75% LTV. that single oversight enabled $236m in bad debt. they just lost the compound contract to gauntlet. 68% of aave governance is calling for their review or replacement. aave v4 launches april 30 with a new collateral framework that will likely make $4-6b in current bridged assets ineligible unless protocols prove 3/5 DVN minimum. that's a forced deleveraging event 11 days out. the risk managers had zero skin in the game, zero financial liability, zero incentive to dig deeper than a peckshield audit and a chainlink oracle check. bridge security wasn't even on the checklist. you need to go read the getAppConfig() on every bridged token you're lending against right now because clearly nobody else did

Current assumption is the haircut for Aave WETH depositors is a few percent maximum and won't be that bad when it's all said and done.

Ce qu’elles font là est tolérable parce qu’elles sont des femmes. Tu mets un podcast de Ben Affleck qui discute avec Brad Pitt pour savoir si Gwyneth est bonne au lit, ça finit en scandale, ils perdent tous leurs contrats et se font cancel.

J.P. Morgan, Fidelity, and Swift trust the same @Chainlink infrastructure now securing Saturn. We’re proud to announce that Chainlink will power Saturn’s oracles and cross-chain interoperability via CCIP.

Iran has reportedly kidnapped the families of the Iranian women’s soccer team members who requested asylum & the women are now abandoning those claims and returning to the country to face torture or death. No prominent left wing American women’s soccer players have said a word.

Aldous Huxley: "What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What I feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. I feared those who would give us so much

MILESTONE: Visa, ANZ, ChinaAMC, & Fidelity International complete cross-border settlement solution powered by Chainlink. Under the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s e-HKD program, Chainlink enables secure transfers of regulated assets with automated compliance & atomic settlement🧵

International Law is worthless paper if you cannot and will not back it up with military power. Dictators do not care for international law. But they fear the US Air Force. The moment the US signaled it would no longer back "international law" putin annexed Crimea and Assad 1/10

JUST IN: Meta sold 7 million Ray-Ban smart glasses in 2025 alone. Workers in Kenya are watching the footage. Not metadata. Not anonymized clips. The actual videos. People undressing. People in bathrooms. People having sex. Bank cards. Medical documents. The blurring is supposed to protect privacy. It fails constantly. The contractors see everything. Here is the part that should stop you cold: You did not buy the glasses. You did not agree to the terms of service. You did not consent to anything. But if someone wearing Meta glasses walks into your bedroom, your bathroom, your doctor's office, your home, a contractor on the other side of the world may be watching you right now. The person wearing the glasses consented. Everyone else in the room did not. Meta's defense is that this is all disclosed in the privacy policy. They are technically correct. Buried in language so dense that 99% of users never read it. And even if they did, it would not matter, because the terms govern the wearer's data. Not yours. You are not a party to the contract. You are the product being annotated. Millions of AI-enabled cameras walking around in public. Recording constantly. Uploading to servers. Reviewed by humans earning a few dollars an hour to label your most intimate moments so the algorithm gets smarter. This is not a bug. This is the business model. The EU is already asking questions. MEPs submitted formal inquiries to the Commission this week demanding answers on GDPR compliance. The problem is obvious: European data protection law requires consent from data subjects. Bystanders are data subjects. Bystanders never consented. The entire architecture violates the regulation by design. Meta's response has been silence and a reference to terms of service that do not apply to the people actually being filmed. Google Glass died because people called the wearers "Glassholes" and banned them from bars. Meta solved the social problem by making the glasses look normal. They did not solve the privacy problem. They hid it. Seven million units sold in 2025. The installed base is accelerating. Every unit is a potential surveillance node operated by someone who may not understand what they are feeding into the system and reviewed by contractors who see everything the algorithm cannot process. The question is not whether this becomes a scandal. The question is whether the scandal arrives before or after the glasses are on 50 million faces. Watch the EU. If Brussels moves on GDPR enforcement, Meta faces a choice: disable human review in Europe and cripple the AI training pipeline, or accept fines that could reach billions. Neither outcome is priced into the stock. The glasses are selling faster than ever. The contractors keep watching. And somewhere right now, someone you have never met is looking at footage of you that you never knew existed.
