BREAKING: @Polymarket is migrating from Polygon 🚨
Josh@devjoshstevens
This is my 3rd week as VP of Engineering DeFi at @Polymarket , and I'm going to be straight: the traction @Polymarket has seen has massively outpaced our infrastructure, and we haven't done nearly enough to scale to keep up. I hear you, and fixing this is our entire focus. We're a major company now, and we need to engineer like one. Here's exactly what we're doing: - Onchain data latency. We're working on making this near-instant so the experience is incredible. - Chain migration. We need more block space, cheaper gas and much smaller block times so settlement is instant. - Transactions are getting cancelled. We understand this is one of the most frustrating issues right now, and we have a complete fix coming very soon. - Massive focus on the website to make it faster, more responsive, and with better UX. - We added observability everywhere. Proper alerting so we catch issues ourselves, market makers should not be the ones telling us something is down. That's been unacceptable, and we know it. - E2e tests throughout, starting with the CLOB, so issues get caught in CI before anything ships. - CLOBv2 is not a rewrite. It won't improve performance or stability on its own; it's an upgrade that unlocks us to move fast right after. We'll do better with communication next time. - We are rebuilding the CLOB from the ground up. Most important thing we're doing. Without it, we can't be the best DeFi exchange in the world. We know it, we're on it, it's mission critical. - Unified TypeScript SDK for all APIs, which is shipping soon. - Unified API. One WS connection for everything, with a schema that's actually readable. - New Polymarket contract in the works that unlocks things that are simply impossible on the current protocol. - New hires: Head of QA Automation, Head of Dev Tooling, Head of Internal Tooling, Head of Data Engineering. - Smaller, dedicated teams. Fewer focus points per person, clearer ownership. People do what they're good at and are accountable for it. - Working closely with customer support to give them real debugging tools so any user issue gets properly diagnosed, not lost. - Proper communication with marketing and market makers so everyone knows what's coming and when, and MM can submit feature requests with a clear path to get them into engineering and shipped. - Working with 4 security teams daily to ensure we're super secure and that funds are always safe. - Perps incoming. Brand new contracts and a backend built from scratch in Rust. We're proud of this one. - A lot of other fixes are running in parallel right now. Starting next Friday, I will be posting weekly engineering updates. I joined because I genuinely believe in what @Polymarket is trying to do. @shayne_coplan built this so the world has somewhere to go to find out what's actually going to happen, not what the media thinks, not what a pundit says, but what thousands of people are willing to put money on. But right now, our engineering isn't living up to that. We've let people down, and I'm not going to dress that up. I came here to fix it, and that's exactly what we're going to do. The next few months are going to speak for themselves. Stay with us.

@StaniKulechov If I trade $50M into a market, I would expect to receive $50M of the asset. This is a technical issue not a user issue. Someone received 50M and theres no accountability to return the illicit funds.
English
@Vicky_Pulsican @StaniKulechov That’s not very cyber punk of you. What if the massive slippage could result in a multi step profit on the trade? Are we now blocking tx based on if the contract thinks they’re profitable or not?
English
@StaniKulechov If liquidity is low, the protocol shouldn’t just show a warning and shift all responsibility to the user. Systems should be designed to block or limit extremely large trades that can cause massive slippage, instead of allowing them to execute and wipe out millions.

@Totinhiiio @unusual_whales Prices up thousands per household due to tariffs, hey look it’s working here’s $1,700
English
@unusual_whales Trump gifting every soldier 1776 dollars from tariff cash proves America first means honoring troops over endless foreign aid to corrupt regimes. Why waste billions abroad when our own military heroes finally get direct rewards they earned protecting us daily?
English
BREAKING: Trump has said: More than 1,450,000 military service members will receive a special warrior dividend before Christmas, We're sending every soldier 1,776 dollars. And the checks are already on the way.

@jinglejamOP I like it how you threw AAVE and Uniswap in with two financial giants like they’re even competing in the same ballpark
English
Let's say co.s like Paypal, Aave, Uniswap, Revolut continue to expand & eventually become financial SuperApps where you can do everything: send, swap, lend, predict, etc.
How do you guys think these Superapps will differentiate long term?
Risk? Customer service? Unique assets?

@Ace_da_Book @NestExchange Did nest honour their daddy Aerodrome and drop some tokens to us?
English
It's voting day for MetaDEXs like @NestExchange
As an active LP, I want to make sure I get as much veNEST voting power as possible before 23UTC today (voting deadline).
In this quick video, I will demonstrate how to:
1) add new NEST to an existing veNEST lock
2) deactivate my veNEST from the HYPE Engine Vault
3) merge my two veNEST positions
4) re-activate them in the HYPE Engine Vault

@_Enoch @no89thkey I’m struggling to understand why you’re proud of this??

@no89thkey I made sure to squeeze in one last nasty mega transaction while I could. 😁 etherscan.io/tx/0x9b2edd18c… 60M gas worth of serial modexp! ethproofs.org/blocks/23928584

EIP-7825 is one of the most underrated upgrades for the future of ZK proving and 100X Ethereum scaling.
By capping each Ethereum transaction at ~16.78M gas, it removes the risk of a single “mega-transaction” consuming an entire block. That sounds small, but the implications for ZK systems are huge.
ZKVMs generate proofs by replaying execution.
Bigger single tx → bigger un-parallelizable unit of work → longer latency.
Before 7825, one "ZK unfriendly" transaction could blow up the proof time because you cannot run parallel proving across multiple transactions. This easily breaks real-time proving which is needed for 100X Ethereum scaling. For any team working on fast ZKVMs, this was the nightmare scenario.
7825 fixes that.
Now, every block is made of predictable, bounded work units, which makes proving schedulable and highly parallelizable. As long as we can prove a worst-case 16M gas tx fast enough (like <5s), we know we can prove basically any big blocks through parallel computing.
In short:
EIP-7825 made sure that Ethereum real-time proving becomes a pure money problem. As long as we can throw enough parallel computing power to the problem, we can get real-time Ethereum proving for even 100M, 200M gas blocks, TODAY.
This upgrade may not look like the main event tonight, but it is actually a massive unlock for the ZK roadmap and the future of Ethereum scaling in 2026.
Believe in somETHing.

@wagmiAlexander @base @Optimism @DromosLabs @ethereum The ultimate dream: A single liquidity network for all of #Ethereum. 💧🔗
No more fragmented liquidity.
DromosLabs is building the backbone.
The game is getting huge. 🧱🚀

Just submitted my resignation letter.
I've fucked up pen testing in a major way once. I've seen my colleagues do the same. I didn't realize there was a risk of getting raided by the authorities because of that + saying mean things on the Internet.
If the Cardano community wants me to continue securing the computational layer, it's gonna need to compensate me handsomely for the risk I had no idea I was taking on.
For context, most vulns in the computational layer were either directly discovered by me or originated from my ideas.

Cardano works so fast that we forked, fixed, and caught the guy all in one day. He was quite active in the Fake Fred discord. It was absolutely personal and now he's trying to walk it back because he knows the FBI is already involved
English
@Clementeubreux @wagmiAlexander He meant AWS outage didn’t take the front ends down, maybe read it a second time?
English
@wagmiAlexander what did he mean by this x.com/wagmiAlexander…
alexander@wagmiAlexander
FYI: Neither the @VelodromeFi or @AerodromeFi front-ends were impacted at all by the AWS outage. Why? Because they are entirely onchain and have zero centralized dependencies that can break. A real tech moat: they can scale anywhere and everywhere at zero marginal cost. 😉
English
Today, Cardano $ADA was attacked.
It never stopped producing blocks but it did create a second chain from the attack point.
…
So Cardano is completely forked and now has two chains nobody uses.

@_0xAI_ @haydenzadams Great analogy, there’s way more Android usage in the world than IPhone, Android holds around 73% global market share of phones.
English
@haydenzadams Uniswap is the iPhone of DeFi, the rest are Android variations. Competitors can throw numbers, incentives, and shiny features all day, but at the end of the day its still Uniswap's UX + ecosystem that set the standard. Everyone else is playing catch-up, the throne isn't moving.
English
Sometimes a new competitor pops up, talking a big game about dethroning Uniswap
We welcome the competition, the arena gets boring without it
Maybe they're right, maybe this time its different
But I doubt it

Honestly I didn't expect $AERO to dump so much.
I bought at the top so i'm a community member now.
See you at ATHs

Q2 2026

JUST IN: Elon Musk says Tesla's humanoid robot 'Optimus' will "eliminate poverty and provide universal high income for all."

So it is a bit more complicated than it is made out to be here. Broad strokes first and then diving in to some data.
First, DEX TVL is not as great of a metric as it once was. When everything was v2 style pools (full range, k=y*x) style pools TVL directly correlated to better execution. However, concentrated liquidity changed that, what matters more now is the TVL near the active price, particularly in the active tick. TVL located away from that tick is passive and almost entirely irrelevant to the protocol.
(Side note: as I was researching I found someone had put in liquidity in the WETH-USDC pool on Uniswap on Base and had apparently used 18 decimals for USDC when calculating the depositing. As such, they have what is currently $700k of ETH [~220 ETH] sitting at $3.66 quadrillion each. This $700k is counting towards the Uniswap TVL all the same.)
Swap fees are also a bit trickier. Since swap fees for Uniswap are only paid to LPs (currently) there exists situations where someone can be the sole LP and then washtrade with multiple other accounts, paying fees only to themselves. I have covered this before, but there is a honeypot network on running exactly this playbook, paying millions in fees to themself on v2 pools.
Without any targeted filtering, I find Uniswap v2 fees on Base to be about $14.5m over the past month. When I filter out pools that have not been active and remove some of the highest volume honeypots and rugpulls, that number drops to $4.2m. The actual number is very likely lower.
In fact Uniswap filters these out on their front end analytics. Sorting by 30 day volume for v2 pools reveals that of the v2 pools that did $10m+ in volume, 13 out of 16 are Virtual agent pairs. This is the moat Uniswap v2 on Base has. The recent attention back to Virtuals is responsible for most of the recent legitimate volume and fees v2 has seen.
@0x_DanW points out in another reply x.com/0x_DanW/status… that there are also some questionable v4 fees being reported, I assume this is due to the nature of hooks making things difficult to track accurately (as some hooks will break current tracking).
There is also some amount of rugpulls happening on Uniswap v3, the activity filtering on my analysis has v3 fees around $12.8m, while it is $17.5m on DefiLlama. So some of those fees are coming from rugs.
What is clear is @AerodromeFi does crush on volume dominance (dune.com/queries/618587…), the difference in fees is significantly less than suggested above once the data is filtered, and most of that is competition on v3 pools.
It will be interesting to see if Uniswap can hold TVL and fees once LP rewards are cut if/when the fee switch is activated.
English
In the onchain era, there is only one competitive moat: capture and distribute maximum value to your users.
MetaDEX02 already leads the category here.
As others are cut back reward rates, MetaDEX03 and Aero lean in by adding six new revenue streams.
A massive economic moat.

@SCippini99 @NacreausCloud @boz_menzalji @MorphoLabs @wonderland @hyperlane @fundstrat Well it sure is lucky they gave 40% of Aerodrome to Velo lockers, and again will give them more Aerodrome. Responsibility fulfilled, I’ve been in Velo since day one by the way.
English
@NacreausCloud @boz_menzalji @MorphoLabs @wonderland @hyperlane @fundstrat Totally agree, velo was the first and now is being absorbed by base money
English
The amount of cope against aero announcement is comical, I don't understand the hate...?
We have @MorphoLabs , @wonderland, @hyperlane, and many notable defi protocols praising the moves...
We have institutional support (and these are just a few):
@fundstrat, @RelayerCapital, @SyncracyCapital, @L1D_xyz, @arca
We have @base representing how they support builders and their ecosystem on full display...
We have @circle launching a new chain, and integrating Aero to power its liquidity initiatives for its ecosystem...
We had Aero's CFO, Dan, do ELI5 math clearly communicating increase of value to aero, over 40% more value...
We had Stas, Aero's CTO, showcasing the evolution of owning the entire stack and maximizing value...
And yet, we have cope and people who are hating, which means Dromos is doing something right...
I know many people claim 'but aero wont work on mainnet, it's not efficient' and we'll know how wrong they will be soon, very curious what other excuse they'll reach for...
"but coinbase cabal made them"...Yes, that must be it. Lazy thinking or deniability at its finest
Opinions and feelings do not outweigh the market, and the market is the ultimate judge
As a partner at liquid fund, I've been investing more of my time than ever on fundamentals and metrics, but moreso on team, operations, business development and partnerships, and all these things matter...
We're seeing light signaling that this bid is largely institutionally driven, and you know what institutions like? They like a well-oiled machine, positioned to dominate with an exemplary team that delivers
Rather than hate, maybe if you are on a defi team, think about competing, accelerating initiatives, bc whining isnt productive, and it will only lead to a reduction in your market share soon...
Aero is coming to mainnet
