@KelpDAO When post mortem?

Earlier today we identified suspicious cross-chain activity involving rsETH. We have paused rsETH contracts across mainnet and several L2s while we investigate. We are working with @LayerZero_Core, @unichain, our auditors and top security experts on RCA. We will keep you posted as we learn more about this situation. Please follow only the official @KelpDAO handle for the updates.

@aescobarindo 🥲 Hope you guys can figure things out

Keep the RHEA community posted from my account

@OctantApp Excited to test this out! 😀

We're excited to share two pretty cool updates: 1) Individual rewards for GLM lockers on the Octant app will be double the usual *only* for the month of April. 2) We've decoupled WETH rewards from funding rounds. This means you can withdraw your individual rewards whenever you want on our app. If you DO claim your rewards, you won't be able to use them for matching in our funding rounds. (Link in bio for the app URL) As always, if you've got feedback on how we can improve our user experience, please DM us. We'd love to hear from you!

Over the past months, we’ve been building Calyx with a clear goal - make token launches accessible across chains, without fragmentation. We’ve learned a lot. Current market conditions have made it increasingly difficult for new launchpads to reach consistent traction. Attention is limited, and even strong products are competing in a very compressed window of demand. At the same time, we are seeing stronger adoption and clearer pull toward other parts of the Aurora stack - particularly infrastructure that is already live and being used at scale. Given this, we have made the decision to pause Calyx. Not shut it down. Pause it. This gives us the flexibility to revisit it when market conditions improve or when we identify a stronger product-market fit. For now, our focus is on doubling down on the Intents-based products that are already seeing real usage and traction, including our Swap Widget and the recently announced Intents Connect, which goes live this month. Aurora has, and always will, focus our efforts on where we can deliver the most value to users and builders today. We are grateful to everyone who has supported Calyx, contributed ideas, and helped shape what it became. This isn’t the end of the idea. It’s a decision to be disciplined about where we focus - and when.

@Zircuit @EthereumDenver @SaiDotFun @bhh_band @YAPGlobalTeam @garettcurran 😻😻😻

High APR = High Risk? We hit the floor at @EthereumDenver to find out who's been burned before 🔥

@Zircuit 👀

Over the past several years, crypto has experienced a series of high-profile collapses. • Terra: $45B → $0 in 9 days. • Three Arrows Capital: collapsed in 6 weeks. • Stream Finance: -90% in 48 hours. Different cycles. Different actors. Same structural vulnerabilities 🧵

@Zircuit 👀

Zircuit Finance is now live. Institutional-grade yield. Transparent structure. Security-first design. Targeting 8–11% APR with no deposit minimums and 0% management fee.

@Zircuit 😍

02.17. The wait is over. Zircuit Finance vaults open tomorrow.

@nikitabier Maybe I’ll start seeing less slop on my timeline 😅

We are revising our developer API policies: We will no longer allow apps that reward users for posting on X (aka “infofi”). This has led to a tremendous amount of AI slop & reply spam on the platform. We have revoked API access from these apps, so your X experience should start improving soon (once the bots realize they’re not getting paid anymore). If your developer account was terminated, please reach out and we will assist in transitioning your business to Threads and Bluesky.

@slimedrgn What launchpad?

that's why i don't use launchpads that are designed to rug investors

@cadebergman @Futurist_conf @WOLF_Bitcoin_ Big things indeed, nice haircut! 👀

What a day! Big things are happening in RWA and Tokenized Assets Industry. Thanks @Futurist_conf 🔥🔥

@DeCryptDisciple @Aptos Excited to see what new things you are building! 👀

Reporting back from a little hiatus with some big changes. 🫡 In the past, with Big Brain, I helped NEAR push the frontier of AI. Now, I've pivoted a little. I joined the team at @Aptos to onboard awesome teams building cool shii. If that's you, hit me up! 📥

On @RealVision with @Jamie1Coutts, CMC’s Alice broke down the “10·11 Crash”, one of the most severe leverage resets in crypto history. Funding rates hit their lowest since 2022, $19-$40B in liquidations wiped $500B from market cap, and pegged assets like USDe, WBETH, BNSOL all depegged in a chain-reaction collapse. 1/3

@aescobarindo Keep up the amazing work Aescobar 😍

Community Happiness, Enthusiasm, Criticism, and Disappointment💕 Since the day RHEA was planned to launch after the merger, the very first thing I discussed with the team was this: How would the airdrop work, and what kind of happiness could we bring to the community? I remember the excitement I felt the day I received my first airdrop — and I wanted others to feel the same. At first, the market sentiment was smooth and positive. Everyone was excited, aligned with the team, and optimistic about what NEAR's DeFi could become. Of course, the airdrop was a highlight — something we were proud to share with the community. --- Taking a Different Approach But I was also given a different responsibility: To make sure the system we built was sustainable, and that it could bring the entire community together through better DeFi and stronger liquidity infrastructure. This required a new way of thinking: How do we create long-term incentives? How do we design a model where revenue can support token buybacks and cycle back to the community? How do we make sure this is more than just another hype-driven launch? We come out with huge commitment of incentive and airdrop allocation with a gradual distribution, including Yap program which this haven't cover the case of buyback --- Our Intention Has Always Been Clear Your happiness as a community isn’t a byproduct — it’s been intentional from day one. We’ve been here for 4 years. Same team. Same values. Our goal is to build a successful DeFi story on NEAR through all the tech stack We skipped team building period this year, fully dedicating ourselves to making the REF and BRRR conversions into RHEA work. Why? You matters, your investment matter and your time spend with us matters --- ## Why? Because the Community Matters Started from scratch my self No connections. No comfort. Just grinding. Working as a barista during the day and NFT community mod at night, sleeping four hours a day. I didn’t get here through luck or privilege — just by surrounding myself with the right people: The community and being persistence --- ## We Know Your Concerns We understand that most of the current frustration comes from price action. But for us, this is a long-term commitment — and it shows in how we operate. No team member will hold any $RHEA unless they purchase it directly from the open market. The team have also burn the previous ref and brrr unlocked allocation and decided to re-lock the token with 6 month cliff and 30 month linear We are establishing a clear policy on how team allocations will work moving forward, including requiring token returns if a team member leaves. Protecting the community isn’t just a strategy — it’s part of our DNA. We’ve been through the trenches, and what we care about is winning together CLAIMING?! Don't worry on your claim, once you click on claim and it shows claiming it will arrive in your wallet directly, no transaction sign needed and the distirbution base on who click on claim not base on order of who receive most token, again ! community matters --- ## Zero Intent to Take Advantage The RHEA airdrop claim had no team allocation. We’ve held nothing for ourselves. We’ve committed to the NEAR ecosystem for the last four years and burned our own treasury We’ve agreed to a new 6 month cliff and 30 months linear vesting schedule without negotiating who gets what — it’s all part of a sustainable long-term treasury strategy. --- I’m One of You I’ve been where you are. I’ve felt that frustration, that uncertainty — and the hope. That’s why I will make sure there’s no hidden agenda toward the community. We’re preparing to start token buybacks and support the market — not just to stabilize it, but to ensure your airdrop holds value. Let’s build this together. We’re not here for shortcuts. We’re here for the long game — with you. I am happy to address your question and concern🫗
