Latest MEV data reveals a troubling pattern: sandwich attackers are now concentrating 38% of their efforts on low-volatility liquidity pools—think stablecoins, wrapped tokens, and liquid staking derivatives. What's worse? Around 12% specifically hunt stable swap pools where traders least expect slippage manipulation.
Outside the stablecoin arena, memecoin pairs aren't safe either. The MANYU/WETH pool became a prime hunting ground, with one particularly aggressive bot repeatedly targeting unsuspecting swappers. These attacks exploit the false sense of security in "stable" environments, proving

Today marks a significant milestone for decentralized identity verification as the community phase goes live with idOS network collaboration. Third-party auditors have stepped in to validate operator credentials, ensuring reward distribution stays consistent while maintaining rock-solid network integrity across the board.
Technical patches recently addressed critical vulnerabilities, with the FADE logic framework receiving particular attention. The numbers speak volumes: over 2.3 million credentials have been verified through the system with a flawless security record—not a single incident rep

Dev team actually covered the DEX fees themselves - now that's what I call a solid move! Finally seeing projects that walk the talk instead of dumping costs on the community. This is how you build real trust.

Plasma's DEX volume sitting at just 14M? That's surprisingly low. For a chain with its positioning, you'd expect way more trading activity happening on decentralized exchanges. Either liquidity hasn't migrated over yet, or something's not clicking with traders.

There's an interesting debate brewing around prediction markets and whether they fit the traditional definition of gambling.
You know those three core elements that legally define gambling? The second one—"chance"—is where prediction markets might actually break the mold.
Here's the thing: when you're trading on a prediction market, you're not betting on random chance. You're positioning yourself on a definitive yes/no outcome tied to real-world events. The market resolves based on actual actions or occurrences, not dice rolls or card draws.
This distinction matters more than people realize. I

The perpetual contract trading volume on Abstract has recently increased significantly, which is quite surprising.
There’s a perps DEX that’s really down-to-earth—the user experience is genuinely well done. The most aggressive feature is offering up to 1000x leverage directly, and the execution speed is fast enough to achieve near-instant trades. Such extreme leverage options are still uncommon among on-chain DEXs.
The derivatives ecosystem on the Abstract chain is just getting started, so things like trading depth and liquidation mechanisms still need refinement. However, the fact that real t

Prediction markets called it again. Trump just snagged the FIFA World Peace Prize, and Polymarket users saw it coming. The decentralized forecasting platform had been signaling this outcome for weeks, showcasing how on-chain prediction markets are becoming real-time indicators for global events. Whether you're bullish or skeptical on these platforms, their track record keeps getting harder to ignore.

Ever wonder how DeFi protocols are pushing the boundaries of capital efficiency? A recent discussion dives deep into innovative approaches that could reshape how we think about liquidity deployment. The conversation explores cutting-edge mechanisms designed to maximize returns while minimizing idle capital—a challenge that's plagued decentralized finance since day one. From novel AMM designs to creative collateral strategies, this breakdown covers what's actually working in the wild versus what's just theoretical hype. If you're tracking where DeFi infrastructure is headed next, this one's wor

That $WET public sale? Absolutely wrecked by sniper bots. We're talking thousands of pre-funded wallets cleaning out the allocation before regular folks even clicked "buy." Total mess.
But here's the twist—the team isn't letting it slide. They're dropping a fresh token at TGE, and everyone on the Wetlist plus JUP stakers who tried to buy? Getting compensated with a proportional share. Fair play coming through after all.

There’s an interesting phenomenon on Solana—DFDV, this protocol, has performed remarkably well in terms of risk-adjusted returns.
Recently, Parker broke down their approach, and a core aspect is leveraging Kamino’s infrastructure. The entire demonstration was very hands-on, covering everything from platform mechanisms to real-time strategies, essentially providing a replicable execution framework.
What’s at the core of these on-chain advantage strategies? Simply put, it’s about finding combinations that can maintain stable alpha amid volatility. As the liquidity layer on Solana, Kamino provide

First time jumping into this!
Decided to enter the Synthetix Season 2 Trading Competition. Let's see how badly I can embarrass myself with my on-chain moves. Might as well document the journey of becoming a certified DeFi disaster.

The whole point? Cut out the middleman, ditch the trust issues. Decentralization strips away counterparty risk—that's the real game. And here's the thing: as crypto gets woven into traditional finance, AI infrastructure, and beyond, this principle isn't going anywhere. If anything, it's about to matter way more. Institutions are piling in, but the core idea stays the same. No gatekeepers. No wondering if someone's gonna screw you over. Just code, incentives, and transparency doing the heavy lifting.

The $GPS token sits at the heart of this economic framework, pulling value from three key streams: network transaction fees, staking rewards, and governance participation. It's a classic value accrual design - every on-chain activity feeds back into token utility. The mechanism ties network growth directly to token demand, creating a self-reinforcing loop where increased usage strengthens the economic foundation.

USDC Treasury just minted 250 million tokens — that's roughly $250M in fresh stablecoins hitting the market. This kind of minting activity often signals upcoming liquidity moves or institutional demand warming up. Keep an eye on where this capital flows next.

🚨 Polymarket's Latest Move Raises Eyebrows
Word's spreading fast: the prediction market giant is reportedly building an in-house trading desk. Yeah, you read that right—trading against their own users.
Why does this matter? Picture this: a casino hiring dealers who bet at their own tables. The conflict of interest is glaring. When platforms hold both the house edge AND participate as players, it blurs the line between facilitator and competitor.
For a decentralized prediction market, this shift feels like a step backward. Users bet on outcomes expecting a level field, but now they're potentia

Tired of manually hunting for the best yields across multiple blockchains? The constant chain-hopping, gas fee drain, and time sink are real problems for anyone serious about DeFi returns.
There's a routing solution that handles the heavy lifting. It's built to scan omnichain vaults continuously, shifting your capital toward peak APY opportunities without you lifting a finger. Think of it as autopilot for liquidity allocation—running 24/7 across ecosystems.
What used to require 22 separate transactions for a single deposit? Now streamlined into one move. That's fewer gas fees, less friction, a

Just locked in a launch partnership with ICM - pretty stoked about what we're building here. Their vision for internet-native financial infrastructure on Solana aligns perfectly with where we see this space heading.
This is literally day one stuff. Way more coming down the pipeline.
gICM.

What's the real-world utility of prediction markets anyway? Beyond speculation, are there actual scenarios where they solve problems traditional systems can't? Curious if anyone's seeing practical applications take off in crypto lately.

Most InfoFi projects have up until now been giving rewards in their own tokens, but the trend has been changing recently.
There’s been a clear increase in cases where stablecoin rewards are being adopted. The reason is simple: when it's denominated in USDT, it's immediately obvious how much you're actually getting, plus it helps suppress selling pressure after airdrops. Honestly, being able to participate without worrying about wild token price swings is a relief.
Xeber is a prime example of this, putting their USDT rewards front and center. It’s definitely a straightforward setup that's easy

Recently, I’ve been grinding the Cookie Leaderboard on LayerBank, and my ranking has been stuck there for several days.
Neither moving up nor down.
At first, I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. But then I realized—
Actually, this is pretty normal:
First, while you’re making moves, everyone else is too. Leaderboards are all about relative positions—if everyone is pushing, just not dropping down means you’re holding steady.
Competition is the norm.
Second, the system has probably already “remembered” your operational frequency and on-chain behavior patterns. What you’re doing now is alr
