@adamcreates_ @donfullermo That UI is genuinely clean. The branding on star really stands out from the usual crypto fundraising look.

welcoming @thenarrator to the scout program. good is an active researcher, thinker, and angel investor who spends his time discovering and supporting founders at the cutting edge of crypto and prediction markets. his taste is consistently early and consistently right. if you know, you know.

This is fundamentally a UX and intent-design problem. Permissionless ≠ unprotected, and a $49M loss proves it.
If the interface had clearly said
“You are about to lose ~$49,000,000 USDT” (see image)
would anyone continue? Probably not.
The user saw a slippage percentage instead of an actual outcome. That is a UX failure, not a protocol failure.
When intent and outcome don’t match, the UI should escalate:
show absolute loss, warn/block when a trade is irrational, and add friction.
Good design helps users understand what they’re about to execute, not stay neutral.
This incident is painful, but it’s also a chance to build stronger guardrails and trust in DeFi.

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.

@ventry089 which VPS can you use. most if not all are blocked by polymarket

A former quantum from Jump Trading sent me the source code of the bot
he said they fired him
for running it from the work server
when i opened the code i didn’t sleep til 4 am
gist of the code:
bot holds two websocket connections
simultaneously direct feed from Binance spot orderbook and Polymarket CLOB API
BTC price on Binance updates ~200ms
polymarket recalculates contracts with 3-7s lag
in this window bot calculates implied probability
compares spot divergence with contract price
over 8% - enters
btc does +0.4% on spot up contract at 53¢
model probability - 87%
bot buys
in 5 mins contract resolves at $1
20-50% per trade 100+ times a day
$284,719 per month off $1,300 bankroll
this isn’t prediction
it’s latency arb between CEX and prediction market
no need for $50k colocation $20 vps and clean code suffices

if you kill another player, you may take their cash.
if you are killed, your cash may be taken from you.
transactions are final.

babe you don't understand, if I hit a headshot that's literally $50 in my pocket. like REAL money. and if I don't wanna play I can just watch the AI agents fight and bet on who wins. it's like sports betting but for shooter games. and they're doing an ICO at a low FDV AND they're pitching on a livestreamed shark tank where you can invest in real time. and babe the token actually gives you ownership of the game like the IP and the revenue. you literally own part of the company. babe? babe this is actually huge.
