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.

Nobody is talking about this

Peter Steinberger bootstrapped PSPDFKit over 10 years (gold-standard PDF library used by Box, Apple, even DocuSign). Insanely hard tech. IYKYK. I'd guess he's worth a couple hundred mill from that. If he goes to OpenAI... he might make more from OpenClaw, which is 3 months old.

It’s the most obviously true one tho. The “flat earth model” is a confusing label though because there isn’t one. Not believing that we are standing on a spinning ball is what people call “flat earth.” Then they insist you think it’s a flat disk floating in space with an edge falling into nothing. It’s extreme gas lighting. But not being on a spinning ball is by far the most obviously true conspiracy theory. It’s also the most annoying to deal with people’s immediate panicky logic fallacy word salad like: So then how do satellites work?!?! So everyone’s lying?!?! So then what the hell is the sun?!?! So every other planet is a spinning ball but not ours?!?! It’s so fucking stupid that most “actual earthers” just never want to bring it up and deal with all of that. But just something to ask yourself: Why is there no experiment you can do yourself to prove it? Actual experiment…. not a panicky “they did it in Greece 3000 years ago you fucking fool with high noon and a stick!!!!” Imagine telling a person that hadn’t been indoctrinated that they are currently spinning 1000 mph on a curved ball in a vacuum in an explosion spinning around a nuclear bomb 93 million miles away going 66,000 mph because one of the founders of Israel did a thought experiment. How would they react? It’s so mind numbingly stupid that i understand if you can’t see it. It’s a coping mechanism. But don’t worry Elon is going to mars right after he goes to one of epsteins “fun parties.”
