🍇 Grape Protocol

Grape DAO, where communities don’t just talk “decentralization”… we live it! From governance to real-world events, and rewards: we’ve built the Ultimate DAO Toolkit. Here’s how it works 🧵

🍇Grape rewards system for active contributors GUBA - stable pool allocated to active contributors in the DAO. Periodically distributed based on set metrics for activities and contributions. GRIP - Grape token which serve as "governance power" granted to contributors captured in the GUBA pool. Strengthens alignment with the native token economy of the DAO. MERITS - Quarterly recognition for contributors who consistently go above and beyond in advancing the DAO. BOUNTY - Funding pools designed to incentivize completion of well-defined tasks of significant benefits to the DAO. Flexible and adaptable, allowing the dao to target urgent or high-priority initiatives. join grape DAO calls for more information on the pool allocation and how the system works

Sunday’s DAO call covered a lot of ground My favorite highlight was Bohemian showing off the new Grape Treasury Tracker he built for the community Before that, we touched on world news and the economy, then dove into a long discussion on merit rewards, which took up most of the session (would address grape reward structures soon in another tweet) There were plenty of side conversations too vibecoders, AI, and more before we wrapped things up with raffles. And of course, Grape calls continue today as a matter of fact, it's happening now

@Cattobreed @orpheuskaze @Lilstarrrs ty catto for coming to vibe with us ty kaze for coming as well we had so much fun listening to you all pitch what it is you are building on monad

Big Nad 🫡 @orpheuskaze also Rep the @Lilstarrrs with @grapeprotocol community call Monad Blockchain Art was also in the building preaching the lore of the Blockchain arts on the purple chain to the Solana Maxi's com Monad was the talk, it's ecosystem building incredibly Everyone wants to build on Monad Adopt Monad ☝🏾 I'm Lilstar purple catto #148 Gcatto Gmonad Glilstar

@0xcoffeeattack thanks for all the alphas ser

I talk regularly in the Grape DAO calls, join in!

Feb 8. During a grape call session, @0xcoffeeattack shares a new perp platform. Mar 5 - he opens a long(8x) on oil in the Discord. Apr 2 - he closes for profit. Brent +60% in between. These calls aren't recorded best way to get some of these alphas are during community calls another session happens 🍇 Today: 6PM UTC.

On Sunday's DAO CALL | 19th April, 2026 We made a new discovery about Pre‑IPO opportunities and discussed the possibilities of trading Anthropic on Solana before its eventual listing in traditional markets. what a sad day it was for AAVE and kelp DAO incident and now it affects ETH ecosystem as it was addressed during the last call We also realized that our last post on Monad gained insane interactions. Together, we explored the best ways to form a partnership with the Monad ecosystem and introduce our DAO tooling set to the borderline ecosystem since we discovered there are currently no DAO‑related operations on Monad. A community member even took the initiative to reach out to someone from the Monad team for a potential introduction. Grape Wallet was discussed as always. it's beta testing is currently live yielding more updates by @ForkedKirk and kuolos It now supports multiple chains including Solana, Monad, and Sui, and community members shared valuable feedback on this expansion. Merit and performance were reviewed, and we wrapped things up with some raffles to keep the energy high. Grape keeps moving forward. Our calls resume tomorrow, with the exact times already shared on the graphics. Stay tuned, stay engaged stay graped.

To understand how this $293 million heist happened, here is the process broken down step-by-step: Fake the Deposit on Kelp DAO: Kelp DAO is place where people put their Ethereum (ETH) to earn extra rewards. When you give Kelp your ETH, they give you rsETH as a receipt. It's supposed to be worth exactly what you put in. The hacker found a bug in the LayerZero-powered bridge code and tricked the bridge that made the contract believe they had deposited a massive amount of ETH on another blockchain (while bridging assets, your deposit is confirmed on a blockchain you're bridging from - something like a receipt and you get equivalent asset on the blockchain you prefer) So, the hacker didn't "steal" existing money from a vault; they tricked the system to create rsETH that weren't backed by real ETH deposits. The bridge was used as a tool to trick the system. Launder via Loan on Aave V3: Now the hacker had 116,500 rsETH, and deposited the rsETH into Aave as collateral (something of value used to guarantee a loan) to borrow real, liquid WETH (Wrapped Ethereum) ~ $293M in value. Disappear using Tornado Cash: Once the hacker had the real WETH from Aave, they quickly moved it through Tornado Cash - like a mixer that scrambles transaction history, making it uneasy for researchers to see where the money went next. Why it matters to you? This is why Aave had to freeze everything. They are left holding the unbacked rsETH while the hacker ran off with the real ETH from Aave's lending pools. Human Governance fully gets involved when the code breaks. For recovery on the bad debt Maybe a treasury bail out - use this to buy back and burn the unbacked rsETH to bring back balance OR issue new recovery token - phased recovery plan to compensate Aave and affected users over time Aave’s Umbrella system is officially the hero here. It's their built-in insurance that uses staked assets to cover situations like this. Technical updates could be to introduce rate limits so certain amounts could initiate a system pause and check; Set timers and multi sign verification on huge amount bridging. Hope Kelp figures this out with Aave, for the users and ecosystem in general.

One of many reasons not to miss Grape calls Grape call – 12 April 2026 $DRIFT post-hack price action + volume were discussed. A graperator on the call: “Even with the hack, strong support is obvious. 0.027 was a good entry. Even ~0.037 looks cheap. With this momentum, ~0.06 is realistic.” (~+67%)📈 (This is past alpha, not financial advice) You either catch the alpha live… or read about it later. Don’t miss tomorrow’s Grape call.

Our research team has been actively tracking @monad since testnet spotting protocols like @Neverland_Money before their eventual blow‑up on mainnet with a TVL of about $150m+ and $2m+ in generated revenue. Also, @EmonadCoin surged by almost 100%, and we saw community members hit big odds @kizzymobile, and earning rewards on @TrendleFi contest. Just to mention a few here. Back in March, while CT sentiment was still skeptical, our pool flagged Monad alphas: - Mar 15: “If you’ve got so much liquid, look towards MON only buy if you can lose the token, then stake it to a validator, earn $MON, use those MON and play DeFi on Monad, qualify for futuristic airdrops.” - Mar 25: "All MONs being deposited to lending/borrowing platforms are in use due to crazy demand.” "They’d say Monad is dead, don’t believe them always hunt for upsides in the ecosystem.” Fast forward to this week: ▸ MON +34% on the week ▸ Whale accumulation at a 90‑day peak ▸ Ecosystem TVL +15% None of this is financial advice. It's just what happens when you don't only read the X timeline but also join the Grape Discord. Our Research Pool goal as a community is to spot alphas before they trend. We did it with Solana. We did it with Sui. We’re doing it with Monad. Back‑to‑back wins. Shoutout to @crexsol for steady Monad alphas. 🚀

@cindyleowtt @tether nice touch you guys, you have our uttermost respect for doing this 👏

After April 1, we put our heads down and committed to making this right for our users and partners. Today, we're announcing a collaboration with @tether and other partners, through which they are proposed to contribute up to $147.5 million combined to support user recovery and facilitate the Drift Protocol relaunch. The collaboration is structured around a clear, revenue-driven recovery mechanism designed to prioritize users from day one through a revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant, and loans to market-makers. During the initial phase of the collaboration, a substantial portion of exchange revenue, together with committed support capital, is intended to fund a dedicated user recovery pool. The willingness of @paoloardoino, Tether and our partners to commit real capital to Drift’s recovery says something about the strength of what we've built and what we're building next, as well as our shared vision to scale the Solana DeFi ecosystem together. We are committed to continuing to provide transparency rooted in accountability as we build Drift back stronger in the coming months, and have outlined initial steps towards relaunch and user recovery in this Incident Recovery Update: drift.trade/updates/incide… Full details from @DriftProtocol: businesswire.com/news/home/2026…

@DriftProtocol @tether Glad to see Drift in huge recovery phase from the hack. Big Move! Good for the ecosystem.

Today, Drift is announcing a collaboration with @tether and other partners totaling up to nearly $150 million to support our commitment to a relaunch with USDT at the center, and a path to user recovery. These funds encompass a $100M revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem grant, and loans to market makers, designed to fund a dedicated user recovery pool. Learn more 👇

so this is how the discussions for the last DAO call went see you later today when the calls do continue (time updated on the graphic below) it is grape, we want you 🫵

@nikitabier @MintOfTheDay 🍇

Crypto has had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it.

March was geopolitics meets DeFi, oil prices, Iran tensions, and recession talk collided with Monad mania. 27 contributors kept the alpha flowing while watching crude oil charts on one screen and Discord on the other. "Also - we are entering a real global recession, feel it in my bones." - @coffeeattack Not financial advice, just Discord archaeology 🍇

What's on the radar: 🥇 $MONAD — 75 mentions 🥈 $GRAPE — 44 mentions 🥉 $SOL — 24 mentions Also: BONK (15) • JUP (12) • MON (11) • SKR (9) Hot discoveries: • Phantom x Hyperliquid perps trading • PumpFun hits $1B rev, expanding multi-chain • Caption Markets on Monad • Agentic finance on Solana (Metaplex)

Inside GRAPE Discord - March Edition 🍇📊 1,452 messages from 27 degens analyzed. Geopolitics hijacked the timeline, oil trades replaced moon talk. Here's what the alpha hunters were really talking about... 🧵
