wait, if you block addresses "as soon as they're flagged", how did `0xcd68...3396` -- an address already flagged from the 2025 phemex hack -- sit there as the destination address receiving 7+ cross-chain swaps for over 40 minutes today?
looks like your bridge router only screens the fresh source address (`TMfB...`) and completely ignores historical threat intel on the destination address.

HYPE +22% in 6 hours on ICE/Trade.xyz, rangebound for 2 weeks before, zero pre-news volume.
Bravo! This is how assets react when the team and friends donβt front-run the news. In crypto youβre usually their exit liquidity.

The Halo modding and content coming out now more or less proves a long running complaint of both gaming (billions of dollars in IP, itβs serious actually) and a critique of Western polities more broadly:
The expert class are tasteless buffoons who need to get out of the way.
Archer Missiles? Completed it mate. β
HALO VFX test render. Just seeing it my Apc Melts and what do you know. Weβve found a balance finally.
What a month of fault finding and testing.
Never afraid to share a WIP. This is a process like anything. The good the bad and the ugly got to come first before the goated version π
Animation made in Blender.

This is what joy feels like. Literally teleported right back to the golden age. Actually getting emotional. This is beautiful.

just tried it out and I'm thinking really hurtful things about Spotify employees now
Spotifast 0.12 is out!
Spotify, fast, in 200MB of RAM, for all OSs.
It now consumes 0% CPU when idle.

been following @that1618guy for a month now and imo he's one of the most underrated accounts on CT right now
definitely deserves more attention for all the valuable content he shares

Got an email from the US Department of Justice yesterday: a founder we invested in many years ago has been arrested and is getting charged for Securities Fraud.
He promised the world, raised 8 figures, and eventually delivered the most effortless excuse for a platform, essentially just a frontend, plus a worthless token with no liquidity.
He thought he was being clever by technically delivering his promises on paper, even though it was painfully obvious it was a rug. Something that was basically confirmed by team members who left very soon after the raise over how he operated the company and how he spent the money.
We only invested a small amount, and from experience it didn't feel worth going after. Nothing ever seems to come out of legal cases like this, so we chalked it up to poor founder diligence on our end and moved on.
So this genuinely came as a surprise. One of the bigger investors likely went after him, and it seems they did so very successfully.
I'm not posting this to spread fear among founders planning to launch a token. If you have even a shred of integrity and honest intentions, nothing like this would ever happen to you.
But we all know how many founders over the last few years were simply extracting from the industry, convinced they could game the system with worthless tokens to fund their lambo-yacht-jetset lifestyle. And for a long time, this has been one of the main problems of crypto, and also the reason why we are getting so much negative press in the real world.
If that was you, or you were planning on it, then yeah, you should be sweating. The days of founders getting away with this are over, and that is massively positive for the industry. Go scam somewhere else.
The mills of justice grind slowly, but they grind.

Gas top-ups are one of the easiest ways to dox a wallet.
Stay unlinked:
β’ @ambire Gas Tank: pay gas with any token on any chain
β’ @anondotinc Gas Account: pay private 0zk tx gas without linkage to any public wallet
β’ @smolrefuel: top up gas independently from any wallet
Let's talk about gas fees :)
Our longstanding goal is to make gas invisible, cheap, and flexible for advanced users.
The wallet defaults to paying gas in the network's native token if the user holds it. Paying gas in native token eg $ETH is always the cheapest option.
In addition, you can cover gas fees with Gas Tank (works crosschain on 18 networks) or over 100 ERC-20 tokens. The final fee is always settled in the native token!
This is not only great for convenience but also for privacy. There's no need to link addresses just to send enough tokens for gas.
The latest extension updates let you pick the default fee token for each network and edit advanced gas parameters if needed.
Gas abstraction is a banger feature, but it's currently limited to hotkeys and Safe accounts. We are patiently waiting for hardware wallets @Ledger @Trezor @Keycard_ etc to support these features with EIP-7702.
Kudos to @gridplus for supporting this early on!
The next gen of users should not worry about having sufficient native tokens just to transact. Let's strive to make gas easy.
