@MikeIppolito_ amazing to see the progress you and @JasonYanowitz have made since the first DAS event! true OGs and trailblazers of the industry

This is a moment in time for crypto. The industry is on the brink of scaling up. That means hard work, consolidation, and if we do our job, a permanent place on the world stage. Today I'm proud to announce Blockworks' latest fundraise, read more about our plans below. cnbc.com/2026/04/29/blo…

Surprised to see so little chatter about Ethereum L2 DeFi TVL recently surpassing Solana I invest in both ecosystems so this def isn't a tribal warfare post. But it does feel like a narrative violation that's gone mostly unnoticed When Solana DeFi TVL overtook Ethereum L2s about 18 months ago, it was widely discussed. The consensus view amongst founders and investors was that it was directional: monolithic scaling was winning, the modular/L2 roadmap was losing, and the gap would only widen But L2s quietly flipped back earlier this month. Combined L2 DeFi TVL (~$6.5B) now exceeds Solana (~$5.6B) after trailing for roughly 18 months The biggest driver of that reversal is Base, which alone accounts for ~$4.3B (surprisingly close to Solana itself). It barely existed two years ago. This is Coinbase flexing that distribution muscle If nothing else, it suggests the scaling debate is less resolved than the discourse assumed. And I suspect this won't be the last time the leader flips either

Customizations and control used to come at the expense of fragmentation. We no longer have to make that choice.

OP Mainnet is now in the top 15 chains by TVL. +84% growth in the last 30 days. Driven by largely by @ether_fi's migration. 70,000 active cards, $200M+ in TVL moved to the OP Stack.

Privacy Boost is coming on @Soneium and integrating into the @StartaleApp: a SuperApp designed to bring digital assets to mainstream consumers. As the official privacy partner of @StartaleGroup’s App, we are building consumer onchain finance as it should be.

Ronin built the most proven gaming network in crypto. Four years, millions of players onchain. When it was time to come home to Ethereum, they chose the OP Stack.

another reason ETH is goated. Institutions should take note of ethereum’s ecosystem resilience when making choices on where to build

From the panel, @curtohh on where Korea's institutional momentum is heading: Ethereum, and purpose-built L2s on the OP Stack.

Is Ethereum “winning” in Korea? The answer depends on what you measure. At ETHCapital Seoul, Adrian Li (@adrianmcli) @ethereumfndn, Curtis Oh (@curtohh) @Optimism, Samuel Chong (@stakesaurus) @LidoFinance, and Jinsol Bok (@100y_eth) @FourPillarsFP, moderated by Amanda Cassatt (@amandacassatt) @serotonin_hq, explored this question in depth. While other ecosystems may dominate headlines or retail activity, institutional development continues to default to Ethereum. The more useful signal is not visibility, but where sustained building activity is happening.

@LidoFinance @grok which aave users are at risk of losing their assets?

1/ On April 18, an attacker drained 116,500 rsETH (~$292M) from Kelp's cross-chain bridge. rsETH markets on Aave and other lending venues were frozen shortly thereafter.

The reason I'm saying "some truth" and not "agreed" is that rollups are a great form factor for a particular type of customer that would have emerged no matter what Ethereum does: - businesses with existing distribution - that want to customize blockspace/execution - and capture their own economics Just see where Coinbase, Robinhood, Kraken, Nubank, etc. are building. This is why saying "just focus on the L1" is wrong. Solana did that Ethereum didn't, and all of these businesses still didn't launch there! So rollups were inevitable because they are simply the better product. Vitalik actually sensed this - so this was good foresight. The more interesting question is thus, what do you do with that information? Should Ethereum have identified rollups as more competitive and less complementary? And if the answer is yes, what could Ethereum have done differently? And what can we still learn from that today?

Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is one of Japan's five major sogo shosha. $94B market cap. Berkshire Hathaway as largest shareholder. Operations in 60+ countries. Their digital commodities subsidiary just launched @zipangcoin on OP Mainnet. When a company at this scale chooses your infrastructure, the diligence was thorough.

If you run a protocol and you've been weighing infrastructure options, @ether_fi just ran the experiment for you. $220M migrated in three days. A live consumer product with no downtime. The path to OP Mainnet is proven. Every dollar landing now compounds for the next one.

Korea is the 3rd largest crypto market with $5B in volume per day. Thanks for the great conversation about how Ethereum both wins and lives up to its CROPS mandate in an environment with unique challenges and at the same time, epic opportunity ✨

We agree. Thank you @SecScottBessent for saying it. It's time to pass the Clarity Act. Grateful for all the bipartisan work among Senators and staff over the past several months to make this a strong bill.
