🚨 BREAKING: AAVE @aave governance post details the amount of bad debt it has under 2 scenarios: Scenario 1 (uniform socialization of rsETH) produces $123.7M in bad debt, concentrated on Ethereum Core (Aave deployment on Eth mainnet) in absolute size terms and most acute on Mantle in proportional terms. Scenario 2 (losses isolated to L2 rsETH) estimates $230.1M in bad debt, all on L2s. Mantle faces a 71.45% WETH shortfall and Arbitrum 26.67%; Ethereum Core is unaffected. "As of April 20, 2026, the DAO treasury holds $181 million in assets," the report said. "Which scenario materializes depends on decisions outside Aave's control, primarily how rsETH accounting and the LRTOracle exchange rate are updated," Aave said. governance.aave.com/t/rseth-incide…



🚨 BREAKING: NYPD confirm a possible BOMB was thrown at anti-Islam protestors by multiple Muslim men in NYC Two Muslims have now been ARRESTED for throwing the fused devices filled with nuts and bolts WE DON’T NEED THESE PEOPLE HERE. Islam is INCOMPATIBLE with America 🎥 @ScooterCasterNY


why do you enthusiastically rush to believe every announcement made by the incompetent retards in IRGC who were already caught accidentally striking civilian targets in dubai, bahrain and kuwait in mere hours? you think they’re not incompetent enough to shoot their own schools? maybe sit this one out for a few hours



we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack





Kevin Warsh was a great choice We who have been engaged with policy makers and markets for a long time know him and respect him for his capabilities and his judgement. He is knowledgeable and a reasonable man who understands the risks of having a Fed policy that is too easy as well as too tight and how to judge what's too easy and what's too tight. Presumably, he also knows how to deal with the president and the Treasury well.






This whole crypto cycle play out in the worst way possible for the investor archetype but many excellent traders are having a field days and even achieved record pnl with this move. Unfortunately eventually there wouldn't be enough liquidity and opportunity for traders to profit if most investors decided to exit this asset class all together.




huge spike, look at that excess


Crazy story: A bank analyst published a report showing Kalshi users lose money even faster than sports gamblers, so Kalshi first tried to pressure the data provider to change their data and then accused them and the analyst of conspiring to extort them when that doesn’t work.
