Not again
🚨 Blockaid detected an ongoing exploit on X100 on Ethereum.
An attacker seized two of three Senate seats and sold 400,000 X from the treasury into an empty pool they created. A second attacker later burned the Freezer’s Uniswap V3 positions. ~$4.85M USDT realized so far across 2 txs. Attack still ongoing.
Crazy times to be in crypto rn
Initia has paused its L1 and rollups following a reported security exploit, with around $2.6M stolen.
Another sad day.
As of Oct 23, 2026, 3:41:30 PM UTC, the Initia L1 and Rollups have been halted due to a security incident.
Our team is actively investigating the situation and working to establish the full scope of any impact with security teams, validators, and exchanges.
We will share verified information through our official channels as it becomes available.
Please remain cautious of unofficial links, messages, or claims circulating during this time.
Been researching ai agents that hold wallets, pay for APIs, hire other agents and execute tasks autonomously
When agents can transact, pay for their own work, crypto becomes the infrastructure of a new economy
Got my eyes on a few projects will share as i dig deeper.
Base chain is goated fr!
For the record Base already has the liquidity and activity. $6.1B tvl, 7m daily txs, and $700m+ in dex volume
I envision a future where AI agents can actually act onchain, route liquidity and execute within clear limits.
Less talking about data and more doing things with it.
Been watching @papertrade_xyz and the trades flying around CT lately. The mechanics behind this are worth paying attention to.
Trader losses build the LP, PAPER emissions reward losers, and stakers earn USDC from realized PnL and surplus distributions.
Over $1T in volumes already.
The $10M cap increase could push more surplus to stakers, while the model remains heavily dependent on trader losses and continued activity.
The incentive design is pretty clever but what about the long term sustainability of its yields?
Quite a relief to know Ethereum scaling is entering a new phase
Good tek btw, ZK proofs are getting faster. While this is good security verification and proving costs remains major challenges
Perhaps it could make Ethereum more scalable without sacrificing decentralization.
Wrapped zkAPI + Tor + extra cover traffic + local LLM prompt rewriting in an open-AI compatible daemon, and made a "paranoid mode" wrapper for my agent harness (pi):
Each conversation gets assigned a separate Tor circuit, your requests are masked with random cover traffic, zkAPI ensures you don't leak your identity through payments, and all prompts are locally rewritten (bring-your-own-local-model; I'm using qwen3.8-flash-next)
github.com/vbuterin/zkapi/tr…
My agent harness is wrapped with a bwrap sandbox (also experimenting with MicroVM) and wrapped again with torsocks, so everything it does goes through Tor.
Here's what me asking it to do a simple research task looks like.
It's getting quite usable! Though you definitely still pay quite a bit in increased latency, especially when starting a new conversation.
Also, Tor is far from optimal here for privacy; the cover traffic mechanism is okay against passive adversaries but much weaker if the LLM provider is colluding with the guard and actively manipulating timing. This kind of task really requires a more specialized mixnet, probably take the tradeoff of a higher bandwidth multiplier and built-in constant cover traffic.
Also also, much cheaper zkAPI deposit and withdraw gas costs are coming to mainnet soon.
I think it's a great way to filter out noobs who don’t read and inactive members who don’t participate in anything, so these charters end up with people who actually read and understand the rules.
Regular check-ins also keep holders up to date on what's new in the protocol, like the latest launchpad and $1m event, which boosts overall participation.
Beans shouldn’t refund these people imo but its a W regardless, shows what kind of dev we are dealing with
Unfortunately, I got r**ed here as well
GGs, yesterday we had a great VC talk about it
> Talking about strategy, plan, tech, unlocks, etc.
Didn't expect this to happen AT ALL
Never heard of a tek:
where you need to stay active on the website and click on a pop-up message at the bottom right "once a month"
NEVER FORGET TO CLICK ON THE MONTHLY POP-UP GUYS
IT'S ON THE WEBSITE GUYS
OR WE BURN YOUR NFT!!!
What a joke
Hella disappointed...

Just restocked one of my fav aromatic blends last week
Nothing like a slow pipe while reading a great book on a comfy chair or sitting alone outside on a park bench
Reminds me on how simple life can be
