One step forward for common sense.
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission@SECGov
TODAY 🚨: The Commission issued an interpretation that clarifies the application of federal securities laws to crypto assets. This is a major step to provide greater clarity regarding the Commission’s treatment of crypto assets. Read the release here: ow.ly/XhhV50YvxvO

@haydenzadams @hosseeb Because it was derivatives? aEthUSDT and aEthAAVE.
Routers have to have sufficient hops when dealing with derivative -> derivative trades.
English
@hosseeb Something is off on the routing
Just sending to Uniswap should still get you like $7m not $40k
Quit@0xQuit
The question is why did the solver route through a Sushi pool with $73k liquidity when there's $7MM of liquidity on Uniswap? Of course neither pool can support a $50MM swap but surely the latter should be preferred
English
Insane story...
Some guy tried to buy $50M of $AAVE on his phone, like 3% of the total supply, tapped through <INSANE SLIPPAGE AHEAD> warnings, ended up with only $40K of AAVE. Block builder made off with ~$40M, Aave refunds $600K of fees.
Net result, AAVE token is down. 💀
Stani.eth@StaniKulechov
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface. Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return. The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox. The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal. Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space. We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction. The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

Friends, i have some terrible news. Jim Cousins (@jimwavefive) passed away earlier this week. A small number of his close friends, myself included, found out this evening. As did his family. I personally chatted with Jim more or less daily. He missed our usual biweekly call some days ago, and then didn't return my messages all week. He was always a focused, disciplined and super busy guy. But this silence was very out of character for him. As the days passed, I became increasingly worried for him. Today I reached out to others who had been feeling the same, and we arranged for someone to check on him. Jim was well-loved, widely respected, and deeply connected. I can only imagine there are others out there right now who are worried by his absence. While I know that some people may have preferred to give this some time, I believe Jim would have wanted to spare his friends the uncertainty. I’m not especially active here and I’m not part of every circle Jim built over the years. Please share this message in the hope that it reaches someone who has been left wondering, as i was. The truth hurts, a lot. But being left in the dark can hurt just as much.

This bio hits hard today:
“Money is a byproduct. Value is a legacy. Build something that outlasts your lifetime.”
RIP @jimwavefive

@fattox @jimwavefive I heard once that you can measure a persons life by the amount of people that were thankful that they had lived.
Jim has many thankful individuals. I am one of them.

@TwentyTwoNode Call me old fashioned, but I personally read this tweet.

The state of the world... I'll use my AI to read and summarize whatever you just sent me... which your AI read and summarized for you... and neither of us will actually read any of it... then we'll hop on a call to discuss what neither of us read.

x402 has a gas problem. If an agent pays $0.0001 for a data query but network fees are $0.05, the economics break.
GraphTally (the micropayment system from The Graph) solved this by introducing cryptographically signed vouchers that settle in batches onchain later.
Agents can now make thousands of queries per minute without gas fees blocking every microtransaction. This same innovation has contributed to the x402 specification, making it viable for blockchain use cases.
The result: agents can pay for Subgraph queries using x402, transforming The Graph into a data marketplace for the agent economy

This is a big deal.
As sentiment changes the upswing will be upper and more swingier.

… as I’ve always said, I believe The Graph ecosystem’s best contributions are still to come.
The Graph@graphprotocol
Five years ago, The Graph solved a problem most people didn't know they had: how to query blockchain data without running your own infrastructure. Today, with AI agents, institutional adoption, and multichain complexity, that problem is everywhere. The data layer matters more than ever.
