Rotation is kicking in.
SOSO/USDC on Base via @Uniswap pushing 6.1x vol/TVL with ~$2M volume and ~22% APY, clean, steady flow, not just a spike.
VIRTUAL/WETH via @AerodromeFi is the higher beta play: 4.6x vol/TVL, $3.4M volume, 70%+ APY, with volatility driving fees. Early but less stable.
Meanwhile USDC/cbBTC and WETH/USDC still holding ~3.7–3.8x, more saturated, but consistent.
Capital rotating into new pairs.
Same meta: volume > emissions.

DeFi United: what’s actually happening 👇
After the $rsETH exploit (~69K ETH hole)
DeFi didn’t break, it coordinated , @aave + multiple protocols launched #DeFiUnited to recapitalize losses and prevent systemic contagion
So far
100K+ $ETH committed
Target ~116K ETH
~86% already covered
Who stepped in
@arbitrum@0xMantle@aave@LidoFinance@ether_fi + individuals
This isn’t just a bailout
it’s onchain coordination at scale
How it works
-Protocol treasuries deploy capital
-Funds flow into a public address
-Used to restore backing (rsETH) + stabilize markets
Everything is transparent

Why this matters
DeFi just handled a 9-figure crisis without central banks, without bailouts, just aligned incentives and liquidity.
This is the real DeFi stress test
🚨 KELP DAO — $292M EXPLOIT | FULL BREAKDOWN 🧵
The largest DeFi hack of 2026 has arrived. Here is everything you need to know about the systemic impact and the contagion.
1. The Exploit: How it Happened
The attacker targeted the bridge reserve backing $rsETH across 20+ chains.
-The Method: The attacker spoofed a @LayerZero_Core cross-chain message via the lzReceive function on the EndpointV2 contract.
-The Result: This tricked Kelp’s bridge into releasing 116,500 rsETH (~18% of the total circulating supply) to an address pre-funded via Tornado Cash.
-Precision: This was a deliberate, highly planned operation.
2. The Timeline (UTC)
- 17:35: Drain executed.
- 18:21: @KelpDAO emergency multisig pauses all contracts (46 min response time).
- 18:26 & 18:28: Two follow-up attempts for $100M each both reverted due to the pause.
- 20:10: Kelp’s first public statement (nearly 3h after the initial drain).
Note: Without the emergency pause, total losses could have reached $391M.
The hack was first flagged publicly by @zachxbt.
3. The Contagion: Protocols Affected
The attacker used the stolen $rsETH as collateral to borrow assets, creating a massive bad debt wave.
🔴 @aave V3 + V4: rsETH markets frozen; attacker created $236M+ in bad debt. $AAVE price dropped 10–13%.
🔴 @compoundfinance V3 + @eulerfinance : Faced the same collateral exploit.
🟡 @LidoFinance earnETH: Deposits paused due to rsETH exposure.
🟡 @ethena : Paused its own LayerZero OFT bridges as a precaution.
🟡 @Spark Lend & @0xfluid : Froze rsETH markets (confirmed zero actual exposure).
4. Market Impact
- $AAVE: -10% to -13%
- $ETH: -3.1%
- $stETH/ $wstETH: -4%
- $rsETH: Trading near $2,500; peg is under extreme pressure on L2s.
5. The Big Picture
This is now the #1 DeFi exploit of 2026, overtaking the Drift hack ($285M).
What this exposes:
Cross-chain bridge risk is systemic. When a bridge holding reserves for 20+ networks gets drained, every wrapped version of that token becomes questionable simultaneously.
DeFi composability remains a double-edged sword.
Stay vigilant. 🛡️
Metade do preço da gasolina em Portugal são impostos, sim, mais de 50%...
Mas vamos aos números desta semana, já li tanta parvoice que parecem "facas a espetar nos olhos" e hoje estou mal disposto...
Preços médios
Gasolina 95 → 1,776 €/L
Gasóleo → 1,817 €/L
O preço na bomba não é apenas o combustível.
Resulta de quatro componentes: cotação internacional, logística e distribuição, biocombustíveis e impostos.
Gasolina 95 ( a titulo de exemplo)
De forma aproximada:
52–54% impostos (ISP + IVA + taxa de carbono)
33% cotação internacional
10% distribuição e margens
7% biocombustíveis
Ou seja, cerca de metade do preço são impostos.
Que impostos pagamos?
ISP – Imposto sobre Produtos Petrolíferos
É um valor fixo por litro e inclui também a taxa de carbono e a contribuição rodoviária (mais impostos que ninguém sabe muito bem o que são).
Gasolina: ~0,60–0,66 €/L
Gasóleo: ~0,35–0,40 €/L
IVA – 23%
Aplica-se sobre todo o preço, incluindo o próprio ISP.
Na prática, há imposto sobre imposto... 😂😂
Exemplo – Gasolina 95
Preço médio: 1,776 €/L
Antes de impostos: 0,847 €/L
Impostos totais: 0,929 €/L
Ou seja, os impostos mais do que duplicam o preço base do combustível.
Mas, afinal, por que car@lh@ mudam os preços todas as semanas?
Na maioria dos casos, os preços são atualizados à segunda-feira, refletindo os custos da semana anterior, sobretudo, com base nestes factores:
cotação internacional dos combustíveis
preço do petróleo
câmbio euro/dólar
Preço final= cotação internacional+logística+
biocombustíveis + margens + ISP + IVA
Dependendo da semana, os impostos representam entre 45% e 55% do preço final, "pagas e não bufas"...
