How this scam works. Step 1: Come up with some half baked idea Step 2: Use Claude to vibe code a design some half working website Step 3: buy an old x account with some followers and make a promo with higgsfield Step 4: bull post with some bots until it catches on Step 5: share a contract address and rug pull Be aware

friendly reminder that Zuck and @Meta are anti consumer to the core.. prob best to skip @Muse bot and explore alternatives

Urgent security advisory for iOS users! Install the latest iOS update immediately. Security researchers report that financially motivated attackers are now using a complete, in-the-wild exploit chain that can quietly steal cryptocurrency private keys and mnemonic seed phrases from iPhones. The reported attack begins when a target is socially engineered into opening a malicious page in Safari. That page is said to abuse a memory-corruption flaw in WebKit / JavaScriptCore to gain arbitrary read/write access from JavaScript, then bypass Pointer Authentication Codes (PAC) to run native code, break out of the WebContent sandbox, and escalate to kernel/root privileges. With that access, attackers can pull data from the device Keychain and from local crypto wallet apps. The claimed impact range is iOS 13 through iOS 26.5; that range has not been independently confirmed in full. Until more is known, treat any unpatched device as potentially exposed and update as soon as a newer build is available. Also avoid untrusted links in Safari, especially if you keep wallet keys or seed phrases on the phone.

Seeing a lot of weak takes on the TL. Yes, plenty of Dem politicians and voters are hostile to crypto. But two wrongs don’t make a right. Trump knew the industry was politically backed into a corner and extracted from it.. and a lot of us cheered and called it “based” while $TRUMP and $MELANIA were dumped on our heads. Whatever your politics, we should be able to recognize extraction when we see it and take the reputational consequences seriously. The way forward isn’t becoming subservient to one political party. It’s holding ourselves to higher standards: question unabashed hype and greed, call out extraction, and stop treating every criticism as FUD. Build things people actually want or, better yet, need to use. Make it easier to understand. Welcome more women, more people outside the US, and more people who don’t already share crypto’s culture. We can’t keep asking the world to take crypto seriously while refusing to take criticism seriously ourselves.

Would love it if the @coinbase app was more performant.. especially during times of volatility.

my take is that: 1) issuance is already very, very low for ETH. lower than BTC, lower than almost every other blockchain, and lower than the supply of new gold added to the market every year 2) issuance is not a primary driver of ETH price at these already low levels. demand to hold ETH as a speculative SoV and use ETH for exchange and productive purposes drives ETH price. and like it or not, staking yield has become a key factor for why people choose to buy and (crucially) hold ETH 3) consistency and predictability in ETH's issuance policy is more important to creating market confidence around ETH (and by extension, Ethereum) than perfectly optimizing issuance 4) solo/small stakers shouldn't be allowed to be priced out of the market, because if shit really ever hits the fan, you're going to need them 5) we should focus on scaling Ethereum as a network, drive much more use to the network, charge appropriate fees to use it, and allow fee burn to continue to offset some amount of the already low issuance

Ethereum Mainnet turns 11 today. The next chapter is already shipping.

Overheard at dinner in SF last night: “I just can’t stand all of these insecure losers, my next partner needs to be agentic and based”.

Good looking data I came across yday, DeFi TVL numbers on Base vs the market Since 2025: -- Total Crypto: -34.4% -- Ethereum: -36.7% -- Solana: -43.7% -- Base: +38.8% Since 10/10: -- Total Crypto: -53.8% -- Ethereum: -56.3% -- Solana: -55.1% -- Base: -13.9% For all the noise, Base is gaining share. Onchain finance is being built here. Thank you to all the builders and traders. 0-0 mentality, we're just getting started h/t @DefiLlama

Proof of dedication/consistency. @TenorFinance team is next lvl

Tenor is live on Base! The fixed-rate lending and borrowing platform, built on @Morpho 🕛

Morpho Midnight is live. This is our most ambitious step yet, introducing what onchain finance was missing: giving the users the ability to set their rates and terms. Midnight opens up many possibilities for fintechs, institutions, and credit desks alike, offering a level of customization, predictability and control that has never been possible before onchain. This new protocol brings us closer to building the open credit network for the world, and bringing the $200 trillion global credit market onchain. It enables new kinds of markets, which attract new assets and new distributors. Those attract new curators, and new curators bring in even more loans, creating a flywheel that drive onchain credit forward. Let’s fly 🦋

because you asked for 5 specifically: @cngn_co - largest NGN stablecoin issuer @bankrbot - ecosystem fund investment in 2023, now one of the most important agentic toolkits onchain @aeroxyz - largest spot venue for BTC and ETH and a bunch of other things in the world @BlockRunAI - sourced through batches, top x402 payer in the world @trylimitless - top onchain prediction market by revenue globally none of these teams had any previous relationship with coinbase or base prior to coming on to base and just building world class products. we are not building systems for builder support where everyone gets the same treatment. we are building meritocratic systems where teams that show up, demonstrate product market fit, drive growth, and show relentless hunger to get better are supported as best as possible to succeed.

Kinda cringe to be trading off the tweets of Vlad Tenev and the pfp changes of Brian Armstrong Trenches are broke and their only trade ideas are to find a daddy figure

:(

Feliz día de la gran final 🌎 ⚽️

Wealth is built over years, not in hours or days. Anyone telling you otherwise has another objective. There’s a lot of crying in the casino here recently. Ask yourself, “Am I gambling or investing?” Your answer determines if you get to cry or not.
