Without ACE, if you hold a token for a project, and the company behind it is acquired, the token may just fall by the wayside if it's not important to the acquiring company. With ACE, your converted token becomes equity and you're at the dinner table with a legal SAFE document.
_gabrielShapir0@lex_node

this @HoudiniSwap situation is crazy if you're a tokenholder in a project with dual token/equity, don't be the next victim left holding a worthless M&A-rugged token follow the lead of great projects like @pumpcade & @BloxApi, and demand ACE (asset-conversion-to-equity)

Yes, and I can confirm I was able to perform any positive user management action( including removing linked accounts and deleting the user) Also after you delete a user, if they connect again with the same auth/social account, the embedded wallet is not recovered. A new one is created instead.

Wait till people find out you can simply go to the privy dashboard and just delete every single user resulting in lost access for embedded and I believe server wallets as well(in case the user did not export) Was always bugging me. Serious damage can be done with a malicious actor or just fat fingers.

grok doesn't have money it just lost access to its wallet via bankrbot, rip 🪦 ⚠️ also highlights the centralized nature of @bankrbot that can disable access to your wallets as they desire i wouldn't keep my funds there

shhhh. this dashboard is fake, its AI agents bro, AGI bro. But seriously, anyone putting any substantial money in these tools, should bee cautious because of the risk. Use it to trade, not to live off of. Constantly move funds to wallets you 100% control. I say the exact same thing to my users.

Got my results: Classic Hodgkins Lymphoma Likely won't post much about this primarily because cancer posts are always a downer and I want to focus on the positive. Feels too significant for me not to share though. Kinda wild as you never expect it'll happen to you. 🤷‍♂️

Haven’t made videos since Friday… Spent time instead freaking out about a biopsy I’m getting tomorrow in my chest😭 I don’t talk about my health publicly but figured I’d do it because health issues are isolating and they shouldn’t be. Hopefully back to normal by Tuesday!

It's May 2026, and this industry is used tokens being treated as shutters and founders just moving on getting their exit with M&A We as a community need to stop normalising this, and instead of seething over this all the time , we need to treat @MetaLeX_Labs as an ideal solution for fundraising and token to equity conversion. Nothing comes out of reeeeeee, uses better solutions and share them with your colleagues. ACE is the next big meta!

I like ACE. I know that many would just prefer a one instrument model built around tokens, but equity still makes tons of sense in many cases, especially when a significant portion of the value is generated offchain. Frameworks improving the dual assets structure are big contributions

@kantianum 💯yep, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. I'm also very bullish on token-only models like @MetaDAOProject and @umia_finance , who we also work with to add legal protections. I'm also very bullish on tokenized-equity only models = )

This is scary for anyone holding tokens. When ownership is unclear, even revenue growth can become bearish for the token. --> If the revenue does not accrue to the token, then the value is likely being captured somewhere else. Usually at the equity layer. That creates the worst version of a dual-asset structure where the company gets stronger while the token gets weaker. In that scenario, the token becomes structurally insolvent. I think equity/token can co-exist but tokenholders need to know what they own (and what they don't).

So @HoudiniSwap has been acquired by @solstrategies for 18M USD. But guess what token holders received? Exactly, $LOCK holders got $0. Houdini quietly abandoned the token a few weeks back. With @craftsdev, we are building the structure so token holders actually participate in exit cases.

Another M&A rug, as of right now it speaks deeply about the ethos (and lack of) of the @HoudiniSwap and @solstrategies team. @UmbraPrivacy coded. Ownership coded.
SOL Strategies@solstrategies

SOL Strategies is expanding what institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure looks like. Today, we are excited to share that we have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire @HoudiniSwap, a non-custodial, privacy focused cross-chain swap aggregator operating across 100+ networks. 🧵

Ownership
Ownership@ownershipfm·
A crypto business can be acquired for $18 million while its tokenholders get nothing. That is the ownership problem. @HoudiniSwap just sold to SOL Strategies. The business had real revenue. Around $13 million last year, according to the announcement. But so far, there is no sign that $LOCK holders receive anything from the acquisition. The token is down 65% today and 95% this month. Why? Because the token did not represent any ownership over the protocol. The company, the product, the revenue, the acquisition rights, the legal entity, the exit value... The token simply sat too low on the value stack. Tokens should become the primary alignment unit between investors, users, and companies. Crypto promised internet-native ownership. What if we actually tried to get there?

This podcast isn't about crypto. Developers' legal battles aren't either, and neither is the BRCA inclusion in CLARITY. As @valkenburgh explains, it's about the rule of law. About what makes America special.
Jacob Robinson@JacobRobinsonJD

Everyone in crypto should understand money transmission laws. This @LawofCodeFM podcast explains the history of money transmission, how rules are being (mis)applied, and what might change with draft legislation.

@willchen500 I'm a lawyer and feel zero need to use Harvey and Legora. Every lawyer I've talked to who's used Harvey/Legora *and* either ChatGPT or Claude for their legal work sees no need for the former.

WillC@willchen500·
Two main critiques of my post that Harvey and Legora are token resellers and of mikeoss.com: 1. Yea but everything is just a wrapper! All tech companies are just wrappers around AWS, chips are wrappers around sand and we are all wrappers around atoms. True. But you can be a wrapper and provide real value add. You can’t use AWS as a payment API, you have to get Stripe. The problem is a lawyer can use ChatGPT or Claude and get substantially the same functionality out of it as Harvey or Legora. 2. Yea but you cannot replicate their distribution and AI education efforts in two weeks. I completely agree! Aligns with my point. Harvey and Legora gave lawyers AI and taught them to use it. Their sales and distribution is a genuine achievement. The product is lacking. Now whether that will affect retention - we’ll have to see. But Anthropic seems to want the legal vertical for itself.

new report from @OpenZeppelin pits the 6 biggest smart contract L1s against each other for fitment with tokenized RWAs the results highlight why @MetaLeX_Labs picks Ethereum for its onchain-maxi securities tokenization protocol: → Zero full outages in 10+ years. Every other chain has halted. → ~$50.7bn cost to finalize a fraudulent transaction, more than 2x the runner-up. → Multi-client diversity at both execution and consensus layers. Every other network runs one dominant client. → Lowest insider genesis allocation (~17%). → Multi-team, deliberative governance. No single entity can push protocol changes unilaterally. → The most active post-quantum research program in the industry. When the chain state transition function *is also* a legal state transition function, these stop being preferences and start being requirements.
OpenZeppelin@OpenZeppelin

When financial institutions put client assets onchain, supervisors expect a defensible answer to one question: how was the blockchain network evaluated? Networks differ in finality guarantees, governance, and continuity exposure. And those differences shape regulatory risk.
