Sorry but why did @NEARProtocol daily active addresses fall 84% overnight on April 2nd?
Did someone accidentally unplug their bot network?

After the recent LayerZero exploit, we are taking steps to ensure rsETH is fully secure, which is why we are migrating to @chainlink CCIP.
From the April 18 incident, it is clear that LayerZero's own infrastructure was exploited, resulting in $300M in losses across DeFi. Independent reports from SEAL 911, Chainalysis, and other major leading security researchers all point to the same origin.
There are questions that the ecosystem deserves answers to. And we are ensuring rsETH is secured by infrastructure that doesn't leave these questions open.
That’s why we’re setting the record straight.

If you want elaborate excuses choose LayerZero.
If you want institutional-level security, choose Chainlink.

I’ve been asking myself why has it taken me so long to write this? Ultimately I still carry a huge amount of cognitive dissonance here. In my mind LayerZero the protocol was like Gnosis Safe and the application was setting their config, and who the )@(!$ would secure billions in TVL on a 1/1? I even tweeted about it, literally 0, I would have bet almost anything on that because almost every major application we helped setup their configs. Someone then going and manually changing that to a 1/1 was outside of the realm of possibility for me. I was wrong. It’s easy to sit back and say ‘it’s just a protocol we have no control over how people use it’ but we have the opportunity to be better. There was a conversation this week speaking to a customer and they just… screamed at me, at the top of their lungs, and swore for a solid ~3-5 minutes straight. We had implemented additional security measures of forcing a more stringent RPC quorum and forcing every chain to provide multiple RPCs and we had done it without telling them and it !)@$d with their business, which frankly is a deadly sin. We had messed with their business and they said communication wise we were completely blowing this. They were completely right. This is something I care about a ton, it is both the result of a huge portion of my life and something that I fundamentally believe in. I literally gifted a copy of Unreasonable Hospitality to every single manager in the company. The entire point of what we’ve built is to enable others to build on top of it, it is to provide a protocol and a platform for people to build on, and we’ve been failing some of our largest customers. The past two weeks have been unbelievably miserable. I’m incredibly grateful for all of the applications who have worked with us over the past 2 weeks, for @zeroshadow_io who has spent endless cycles with us tracking and seizing millions in attacker funds which will be returned to the rsETH team, and for all of the parties who brought together DefiUnited. Particularly @aave for leading and @MikeSilagadze for pushing everyone to get their !@)($ together and sort things out as quickly as possible, and putting himself in the frontline of acquisition talks and everything else to try to get to a solution quickly. @LayerZero_Core is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure in the industry, the LayerZero protocol has earned the trust of the largest and most important asset issuers in the space. We will do better and we will make the industry better for it. My entire focus over the past 2 weeks has singularly been working with applications to harden their setup, building tooling to assist in tracking and freezing hacker funds, and the rsETH recovery efforts. That is going to shift now to where LayerZero Labs spends it's time and effort. The only thing this company will spend time on is how we can better serve our asset issuers and the upcoming launch of Zero.

@exitIiquidity @Chuksdakingz they’re proving the point without knowing what they’re doing

@Chuksdakingz this really has been 9/11 for Nigerians huh? holy shit you guys are coping about not being allowed to scam a crypto app for $20 jfc its pathetic.

this guy avi patel (kledai founder) is a fraud
> rugged previous tokens
> raised $9m and wanted to reward $20m
> has 10 reviews on ethos (all negative)
> metadata of passport he uploaded shows it's edited
> deleted link to the dashboard he shared (claimed proof)
sadly, we nigerians agreed to this without verifiable claims, meanwhile he is doing this to trend and create awareness for his platform
[a platform that pays people to upload their faces?]
> i made a research about him and his platform before and how he pulled previous rugs
as i usually say, "failed founders turning to anti-regional police"

We have removed Kled from the Nigerian app store and IP banned the entire region. The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest app adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support. Kled has been up and running and out of beta for 4 months now. We have paid out hundreds of thousands of people for their data, and our users have uploaded over 1 billion assets onto our platform. After several months of uploads we found that Nigeria had a ≈95% fraud rate. Instead of real, usable data, users were uploading pictures of black screens, duplicate photos, internet generated images, AI generated images, etc. at an unimaginable scale. In comparison, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have a less than 10% fraud rate across 10x the userbase size. Our fraud system is fast to catch these issues but the level of complexity of these schemes is getting out of hand. This weekend we were flooded with thousands of fake Japanese passports and identity cards with Nigerians photoshopped onto them in our KYC system. That was the final straw. As a startup we can't afford to eat the costs of that data overhead, so we temporarily removed the app from the region while we improved our fraud detection and banning system to quickly filter out bad actors when the time is right. On top of all of this, every time we make a post there is someone asking us to bring the region back within seconds. We hear you, but it's gotten out of hand. We've made this decision with great care. We love everyone who has genuinely supported Kled from Nigeria, and we hope to return when the time is right. -Kled Team

@John99919227 Considering the fact you think 30kg dumbbells are heavy I'm not going to listen to your opinion on appropriate bench pressing
really sorry

Barbell Bench Press.
Just a pointless ego exercise when the alternatives are so much better for gains & have a much lower risk for pec tears or violently caving your chest in to your spine

Gym goers: what’s one exercise you refuse to do, no matter how much people hype it up?

@BonesawMD Rounded back is poor form but ego lifting on the best exercise

It also ruins your posture if you overdo it, and most do.
So many BB bench addicts are ruining otherwise good physiques w/ rounded shoulders because cannot see clearly.
They are in a cult.

It basically comes down to the fact that some people think it is fundamentally wrong that some people have more money, than other people.
