Why does every digital product send push alerts except defi? DMe by @BootNodeDev is the open-source notification layer for protocols and DAOs. Wallets to telegram, real-time, no signatures. Read more: blog.bootnode.dev/posts/dme-noti…

Great to see @0xzaha pick this up and push it forward with @UniswapFND backing. Our earlier v4 work was meant to become someone's starting point. This is exactly what open source should look like.

Your Web3 scaffold should assume an agent is editing it alongside you. dAppBooster 2.5.0 bakes in the instruction files modern agents look for on startup, a hardened test net, and an installer that emits structured JSON when stdout is not a TTY. Read more: blog.bootnode.dev/posts/dappboos…

Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry

Bear markets are for learning and planning how to be better positioned whenever the market returns to an uptrend in the future. @DeriveXYZ is one platform I would like to get more comfortable using. This is a great overview by @itseneff on simple ways to use Derive options.

Aave Will Win, the most important proposal in Aave's history just passed with a landslide. Here's the master plan going forward: General Direction - Aave becomes fully token-centric: one asset, one model: $AAVE - To date, protocol revenue per AIP-1 has accumulated to the Aave DAO: $140M in 2025, with 2026 on track to match that despite the market downturn being limited to protocol-only revenue - The AWW proposal introduces a new revenue stream: application and product revenue generated outside the Aave Protocol, now directed to the DAO as additive revenue - This covers Aave Pro, Aave.com, Aave App, Horizon (RWAs), and Aave Kit, all flowing back to the DAO treasury - Swaps on Aave.com and Aave Pro are already generating $10–20M in new revenue on top of existing protocol revenue - Aave V4's reinvestment feature ensures that float capital in pools generates yield, creating additional revenue streams, similar to how Aave V4 Spokes open up new revenue opportunities - AWW gives Aave exposure to the full vertical stack. Owning that stack is increasingly critical in a competitive landscape where protocols get commoditized - AWW also establishes a community-protected vehicle to independently govern Aave's brand assets and IP on behalf of token holders - Aave Labs commits to working exclusively on Aave-related products, fully locked in - If you own $AAVE, you own not just the economic rights of the protocol, but the brand, the users, and the integrations In other words: everything belongs to one asset, the $AAVE token - We believe tokens are the greatest opportunity of our time to build collectively governed protocols, but a single, unified vision is essential for execution - That vision is provided by Aave Labs, working alongside all Aave service providers to grow Aave from a $40B protocol to $1T and beyond Product Layer & Distribution - Aave App will onboard millions of users with a simple, fintech-like experience while ensuring users retain full control over their funds, backed by $1M account protection per user. A card will also launch later, generating additional fees for the Aave treasury - Aave Pro will be the premier destination for power users: sophisticated features, simple on-ramping, and the best of DeFi in one place - Aave Labs has the best designers and design engineers in the space, committed to delivering a high-fidelity experience for every user - Aave Kit will provide SOC2-compliant, enterprise-grade integration for fintechs and partners - Horizon will expand with Aave V4 support and more flexible asset onboarding to scale RWAs on Aave - New Aave V4 Spokes will unlock additional collateral and address the demand side of DeFi liquidity - Together, these products aim to bring DeFi to everyone and position Aave as the base credit and repo market for the entire $400T+ TradFi asset base Engineering & Tech - Aave Labs has the best engineers in DeFi. We built V1 through V3, GHO, and most recently V4, and this is just the surface of what we're building next - Aave V4 paves the way for next-generation lending, and Aave V3 will remain fully supported and maintained by Aave Labs for years to come - We are security-first. Smart contract security, application security, and ICT security are non-negotiable, and our recent SOC2 compliance reflects that. Institutions expect it, and we deliver it - We will invest in agentic AI, opening up new opportunities for developers building with Aave Marketing - Aave has historically led crypto in brand, events, content, and partnership marketing. We're doubling down on our brand recognition and the strong foundation we've built - Going forward, we'll expand into new audiences and channels to bring Aave mainstream, building net-new, stickier userbases among people who are new to DeFi Growth - Aave will deepen relationships across the DeFi ecosystem and build new bridges with fintechs, banks and asset managers - At its best, Aave isn't a bank. It's a financial network that any fintech, bank or an asset managers can plug into, and providing the best integration tools will be key BD efforts will rely on tight collaboration between service providers such as Token Logic and our partner networks - We honor our long-term partnerships and commitments, including @chainlink - We recognize the value Aave represents today and expect partners to approach us with the same respect Governance - We support a multi-contributor model for Aave and will continue to embrace it - We will oppose any vendor lock-ins or service providers that build products for themselves at the expense of token holders - We require full transparency from the SPs and no tolerance for relationship gating as all value needs to drive to Aave - Zero value leakage: everything built with Aave's funds must benefit Aave and be owned by Aave - SPs who align with these principles and commit to what's best for token holders will have our support on budgets, as long as they are reasonable - The DAO is taking a zero-bureaucracy approach: execution and skin-in-the-game are what matter. We are competing with some of the world's most efficient and well-funded organizations, and there is zero room for friction - Every SP will have real, measurable goals. Payments for posting governance proposals are over. We've already consolidated SPs to focus resources - Governance process improvements are coming in the months ahead: more efficiency, less politics Risk Management - We will continue to support a multi-layered risk management process encompassing both an economics risk layer and a technical risk assessment layer conducted by Aave Labs - Aave's risk management will include external risk managers such as Llama Risk and Token Logic for commercial and economic assessment. Aave Labs will also establish a permanent internal risk management function to coordinate and support external risk managers, making the overall system more resilient Building a Regulatory Moat - Aave Labs has spent years building a regulatory moat around Aave's products and deepening vertical integration - Aave is one of the only DeFi ecosystems operating at scale with regulated entities, including Push Virtual Assets Ireland, which is authorised as a CASP under MiCA, alongside a UK EMI-licensed entity - We are actively pursuing additional licenses globally to enable seamless, 1:1 fiat-to-Aave onboarding for mainstream users, a prerequisite for mass adoption - We go where the bar is high Policy - Aave Labs' policy team is world-class. We've participated in every major policy consultation over the years and will continue to fight for DeFi, protecting it from harmful regulation and ensuring legal certainty for users and integrators - The next few years will be pivotal for DeFi policy. We are fully committed Our Principles - Security-first above all else. This is non-negotiable Everything we build is truly DeFi, with self-custodial access at its core - Innovation-driven, we will move the space forward by innovating and building something new - For DeFi to scale, we need new audiences. That means growing the pie by building better experiences and infrastructure for users to access DeFi - Friendly by default: anyone should be able to work with Aave if the merits support it - Build and operate in public. Everything we do will be done openly, with the highest standard of accountability This is the direction we are committing to, a multi-year journey. The foundation is set. Now it's time to build. Aave will win.

We just voted "Accept" on "[SEP 55] Fund Safenet Beta for SAFE Token Utility" // @safefndn @safe snapshot.box/#/s:safe.eth/p… #Snapshot

Unfortunately we still see large-scale hacks and loss of funds on a regular basis. Multisig alone is not enough. UI warnings help but can be easily circumvented. So we've built something new. A protocol that enforces security checks onchain. 🧵 1/6

@PaulFrambot @Vault__Summit 🫡

Thanks everyone for joining our Vault Summit. The second edition was packed. We just announced that the next @Vault__Summit is in New York on June 5. See you there.

In early 2024 it was becoming obvious Ethereum L2 roadmap had a fatal flaw. No shared liquidity. Each L2 was a separate nation - with its own borders and economics - rather than the United Chains of Ethereum we'd envisioned in 2021 and 2022. To be blunt: the L2 roadmap was a bit of a let down. At DevCon 18 months ago many hoped for an "Ethereum 3.0" plan that would unify our rollups. Instead, we got Justin Drake's 5 year long early Lean Ethereum journey. (Which has since solidified into a brilliant execution plan to scale & strengthen Ethereum, but at the time was received with disappointment.) We wanted a plan to unite the chains. @koeppelmann's presented an early form of that plan - he called them Native Rollups. These would be rollups that share liquidity, composability, and validators with Ethereum's L1. Rather than L2s as a loose alliance of chains that opt-in to shared security (the NATO model) we'd get a strongly coordinated yet federated economic union of chains (the U.S. model). No hard forks required. I hadn't seen much movement on this vision until now. But @etheconomiczone appears to be a serious attempt at a United Chains of Ethereum. ZK is the tech unlock and we get the zk genius of @jbaylina leading this. The engineering ability of @gnosis_ gives credibility this will ship. And the support of @ethereum foundation makes me optimistic this will remain open and credibly neutral. If Ethereum pulls this off - if it unites its chains into an integrated economic zone - while shipping quantum upgrades and L1 scaling of Lean Ethereum in parallel... Ethereum will gain an unstoppable network effect. It will finally deliver on its core promise Ethereum = world ledger. ETH = world reserve asset.

1/2 What's it actually like to build on @zama 's fhEVM? 🛠️🔐 At Bootnode, we've been exploring the frontiers of on-chain privacy. Our latest blog post breaks down our developer experience, the technical nuances, and the massive potential of FHE for the Ethereum ecosystem. Check out the full breakdown here: 🔗 blog.bootnode.dev/posts/zama-fhe…

@cryptochica_arg @EthCC Nos vemos!

My first time in France 🇫🇷 My first time at the @EthCC ✨ DMs are open! Happy to connect and share insights from Latam ☀️

@payy_link @FirstMarkCap Congrats team! Looking forward to seeing higher adoptions and feature growth.

FirstMark backed Shopify before anyone bought anything online. Discord before anyone gamed with strangers. Airbnb before anyone turned their home into a hotel. Now they're betting privacy onchain is next. We raised $6M led by @FirstMarkCap to make private transactions the default. Joined by @dba_xyz & @robotventures. Investors who understand that privacy isn’t a feature, it's the foundation.

@smykjain If you're planning to open-source the non-fluid-specific components, I'd be happy to contribute

I will be spending next 2-4 weeks mostly around getting Fluid more secure and how we can automate multiple aspects of Fluid's security. Allow bot to react within 30-60sec rather than team which can take 30-60min. We will make most sophisticated security infra to allow specific parts of protocol to go into lockdown according to market situation.

Update on the Resolv incident: The Fluid team has secured short-term loans to cover 100% of the bad debt currently in the protocol. These funds were secured with commitments from @Lomashuk from @cyberfund, @weremeow, and the Fluid core team, ensuring that no user funds are at risk. @ResolvLabs has confirmed they will cover all USR positions that were originated before the security incident, and will enable redemptions required to close those debt positions. Additionally, multiple investors have expressed interest in purchasing $FLUID from the treasury should any additional funds be required, further strengthening the protocol’s backstop. Fluid smart contracts are safe and operating as intended. All other markets continue to function normally, and protocol safeguards remain active. Users may see temporary rate volatility while positions are being unwound. We will continue to provide updates as the situation progresses.
