.@cosmos, the week of 21 to 27 September. A governance exploit on Neutron sent part of the stolen ATOM to the Hub over IBC. The Hub itself was not hacked Validators halted the network for about 24.5 hours, restarted it on Gaia v28.3.0 and took 1,227,121 ATOM back from the attacker. About 500K had already been swapped out through THORChain Victims get paid only after a separate Hub governance vote Meanwhile, the Paxos funds were delivered, and Cosmos Labs joined LF Decentralized Trust alongside SWIFT and Wells Fargo

Our team submitted to the Build with @CoinMarketCap API Hackathon Most holders already took funds off the exchange They check once in a while. What they get back is a naked percentage with no context.We built a writer, not a dashboard It messages you when something moves, and it tells you whether that move belongs to your coins or to the whole market. CoinMarketCap data underneath. Check: piped.video/2rFbkqaHnIM #BuildwithCMC

.@monad , the week of 14 to 20 September. Moose is in beta. @0xFastLane shipped a fully onchain aggregator: the route is chosen at execution time, on the chain itself, with no quote server in the path. The launch is confirmed, volume was not published. @aave published its receipts. 46 days in, the Monad market is the 3rd largest Aave deployment by fees and 5th by TVL at ~$321M. $318M borrowed against $659M supplied, $750k+ in fees since July, around $24k a week in protocol revenue. The security team ran an experiment on LLMs writing contracts. Telling a model to "be secure" barely moved the bug count. Putting a threat model in the prompt cut findings by roughly 43%. Also on the record: a Rain Cards interview on stablecoin payments, Blitz Paris, Blitz Mumbai V4 and the Metropolis Hacker House in Hangzhou, and a teaser that just said PRIVACY, SOON.

Monad, the week of 7 to 13 September DeFi TVL crossed $1B for the first time on 9 September and peaked at $1.035B on the 12th, up 4.8% on the week across 137 protocols. Spot set a record too: $513M of DEX volume in a single day on 8 September 37.97M transactions over seven days, a five-week high, at 62.8 average TPS But the other side of the ledger cooled. Active addresses 62,683, down 19.9%. New contracts 15,118, down 60.9%. MON went from $0.026 to $0.023 while TVL hit its all-time high Shipped: @monad API Hub, pay-per-request in USDC with no keys and no subscriptions, launching with Nansen, DefiLlama, ElevenLabs, Exa and Apify, then MiniMax. Ultrafuzz went open source. Arrived: 1inch with the full stack, o1 Exchange, Ledger MON staking, Drake Exchange perps, Glider, Rocket Markets, Murk in public beta Liquidity and infrastructure ran ahead of the crowd. That is the week

Lumera, the week of 10 to 16 September. @FalconXGlobal joined the validator set. 2,000+ institutional clients, over $2.5T in cumulative volume since 2018, now running a node. Voting power is 0.66%, so this is a signal, not control, and the team says more institutional validators are coming. The positioning got sharp too. Not a model host, not another agent framework, not a custodian of irreversible actions. What it is: durable, provable memory for agents, already live on mainnet through Cascade and Proof of Service, where a SuperNode is paid for real work and not just for stake. Anyone can run a model. Few can prove what it did. The network: 168,519 wallets, 1.62M transactions, 36.4 TB stored of 63.1 TB, 52.57% staked, 28 active SuperNodes, 98.72% uptime. And what did not ship: EVM mainnet. v1.20.3 was pulled for upstream Cosmos EVM security fixes. No exploit on @lumera , a deliberate pause, new proposal promised shortly.

Cosmos, the week of 7 to 14 September. @cosmos Partner Network went live with 17 partners, including BitGo, Galaxy Digital, OpenZeppelin and Blockdaemon. A ready-made stack for banks: tokenized deposits, 24/7 settlement, treasury. The same pitch went straight to the banks at Finovate Fall: sweeps, Tokenization Suite, settlement with no cut-off times. ethereum:0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48 is leaving Noble. Minting stops 13 October, full pause 12 January 2027. Injective USDC is the new standard, migration via Skip:Go opened 11 September. The Hub halted 8 September at block ~32.8M and recovered within days. Ledger support for balances and ATOM sends was still broken on 13 September, use Keplr or Cosmostation. Proposal #1054 is on the ballot until 17 September: ~$300,740 one-off from the Community Treasury to put ATOM inside Paxos brokerage infrastructure. Two of those five are about banks. That is the direction.

Linera's $LNRA Community Round is over and it didn't hit its minimum. $848,271 committed against a $1.5M soft cap. 617 participants across 69 countries. Refunds are already done. Automatic, back to the same wallets that committed, no claim step. That part they handled cleanly. No new sale, TGE date or tokenomics change has been announced yet. The chain itself microchains, sub-second finality, gamified prediction markets is still being built. Watch @linera_io for what comes next

1 Billion TVL on @monad

$989 million TVL on @monad . 175 protocols. @k3_capital $410 million (+27% per week). Next is @aave V3, @eulerfinance V2, @pendle_fi V2. Core lending ($861M on four protocols). Tree curators, Pendle holds point markets, RWA is already noticeable. Important: curators’ TVL overlaps with the protocols where they invest capital do not add it separately.

.@celestia is on Pulse Validators, providers, blob space, rollups, bridge nodes, incidents mainnet and Mocha, refreshed to the second 99 active validators. 62 hosts. Top 3 hold 40.2% of voting power. That last one is the number nobody else charts. pulse.unitynodes.com/celesti…

Validator vs Super Validator on @CantonNetwork the difference in one frame 680+ active validators. 13 SV nodes. A validator runs a participant node and its own slice of the ledger. A Super Validator runs that too, plus the Global Synchronizer sequencer and mediator and votes in the DSO: one SV, one vote, BFT quorum over two-thirds. Anyone sponsored can run a validator. You become a Super Validator only by governance vote.
