Curators is a business built on trust. However, in the recent incidents, bad debt was incurred due to poor asset exposure. @SteakhouseFi addresses the exposure problem by using a layered risk framework that assigns ratings to each vault based on assets, platforms, and markets.

I'm assuming this is mostly rage-baiting hyperbole, but it's still worth drawing the distinction here, especially given how new onchain vault products are and how few people have actually looked under the hood. The hedge fund comparison breaks down at the part that actually matters, which is custody. A fund manager holds your assets and moves them around at their own discretion. A Morpho vault curator never touches the deposits at all. The smart contract holds the funds, the protocol enforces the rules, and the curator only sets parameters. We could disappear tomorrow and your money would sit exactly where it is, governed by code anyone can read. And it goes further than custody. The Guardian role on our @SteakhouseFi vaults isn't us, it's the depositors, all of them in aggregate. If Steakhouse proposes adding a new collateral, any depositor can start a vote to veto it, and we set the quorum deliberately low so it only takes a small fraction of them to block it. Nothing gets slipped in behind your back. New collateral sits behind a timelock, so if you don't like what's coming you can either help vote it down or just withdraw before it ever goes live. You would have to wait until the next investor update to learn about mandate drift in a hedge fund. Here you get a vote and an exit before anything changes. What curators configure is asset backed lending, with transparent and strongly enforced constraints. Every position is a loan against posted collateral, with a published liquidation loan to value, a named oracle, a defined rate model, and hard supply caps. It's hardly a black box though I concede it can be hard to parse and compare. It is, however, evidently not opaque. Compare that honestly to a credit hedge fund. There you get a quarterly letter, marks you can't independently verify, concentration you can't see, unilateral discretion, and a manager who is literally holding your money. With a vault you get every loan, every allocation, every realized loss, and every fee, live, queryable by anyone, enforced by code instead of promised in a pitch deck. It's not less transparent than a fund. It's dramatically more. You are right that the data can be scattered and that nobody has fully packaged it yet. That is absolutely a frontend and user experience problem. We also believe it is eminently fixable and our philosophy is to show our work and maximize the constraints we operate our vaults with. The reason we build onchain is to put more transparency into a system that has spent decades getting good at the opposite. We're not perfect and there's considerably more that needs to be done to achieve that, but we believe we're on the right trajectory.

This is not in this years finance Bill. The 10% excise duty on fees charged replaced the 3% digital asset tax (DAT) which was on the whole transaction amount in the 2025 Finance Act. The excise duty has been there for close to a year now and was a welcomed alternative to the DAT.

In the Finance Bill 2026, crypto Virtual Asset Providers are entitled to a 10% excise duty now. For context, the rate for betting companies is at 5%. This means kenyan crypto users will have to pay more, or the platforms will have to compress on profit margins. Remember, they are still entitled to Ksh 150M upfront fee and Ksh 2M annual license renewal fee in the VASP bill.

My Story About Devcon Scholar 🌏✨ (Missing those days as Devcon 8 is Near ) Getting selected for the Devcon Scholars Program by the Ethereum Foundation during Devcon SEA Bangkok was one of the best experiences of my Web3 journey. Selection Process : The selection process itself was very exciting. First, they shortlist the top applications from around the world. After that comes the interview round where they ask about your leadership experience, technical background, community contributions, and how you manage responsibilities and solve problems in ecosystems. After the interview rounds, selected candidates receive the acceptance confirmation. The whole process was super professional and supportive. I am not exactly sure about the total number of scholars selected globally, but it was around 30+ people from different countries and backgrounds. The best part was that the @ethereumfndn covered everything completely including flights, accommodation, travel support, and event access. Even after I accidentally missed my return flight from Bangkok to India, the team helped me again by booking another ticket for me. That level of support and care is something I will never forget. 💜 Special thanks to @_madison_adams and the entire @EFDevcon Scholars team for the incredible effort they put into managing the whole program and supporting every scholar throughout the journey. The coordination, hospitality, and care for the community were truly amazing. 🙌🏻 What is the Devcon Scholars Program? The Devcon Scholars Program is an initiative by the Ethereum Foundation created to support talented builders, researchers, students, community leaders, artists, and creators who face financial or geographical barriers to attending Devcon. The goal is to bring more diverse voices into the Ethereum ecosystem and help new contributors grow globally. How the Scholar Journey Works Before Devcon, scholars join mentorship sessions, online meetups, and learning cohorts with other selected participants. During Devcon week, scholars attend special networking events, connect with Ethereum researchers, founders, builders, and ecosystem leaders from around the world. After returning home, scholars are encouraged to create learning artifacts like blogs, videos, repositories, research, or community initiatives to share knowledge with their local ecosystem. Honestly, this program is much more than just a scholarship. It is an opportunity to become part of the global Ethereum community and meet some of the most inspiring people in Web3. 🚀

Stablecoins are reshaping how money moves as clear rules abroad integrate them into financial infrastructure. In the EU, MiCA limits how users benefit from this asset class, and the MiCA revision is the policy window to change that. Join the petition: standwithcrypto.org/eu/en/petition…
