Gm! A bit pushed for time so here’s a shameless AI maxx 🤮 summary of Caper updates: caper.network 🦋 The headline: Caper is faster, the on-chain economics are more complete ($XRD value capture clean exits), and the story is clearer than ever. 🚀 🎉 Caper Community Update — Late May → Early June The last two weeks were huge. We shipped real on-chain protocol upgrades, a major performance overhaul, a sharper product story, and a ton of UI polish. Here’s everything that landed. ⛓️ Protocol & On-Chain $XRD is now a first-class caper. Native XRD is reinstated as its own caper with XRD itself as the governance token — no genesis mint, no bonding curve, no founder scaffolding. Even better: the sell-leg trade fee from every other caper now flows into the $XRD treasury and is distributed pro-rata to $XRD holders on exit. Hold $XRD, share in the network’s trading activity. One-transaction exits that sweep everything. EXIT now picks up arbitrary deposits sitting in a treasury — including tokens sent directly to the treasury address, not just the tracked set. The exit dialog enumerates the treasury via the Gateway so nothing gets left behind. One tx, full sweep. Vampire uniqueness enforced. You can no longer create a second vampire bound to the same origin resource — protected on-chain by a new registry. A big “parsimony” cleanup tightened the contracts (typed winner-resolution enum, shared helpers, fewer unwraps) — all 62 integration tests passing. ⚡ Performance — the site got fast Partial Prerendering is live (Next 16 Cache Components). The homepage was fully dynamic with a ~518ms uncached TTFB. Now every route serves a static shell from the edge while the live on-chain sections stream in over it — with identical on-chain fidelity (one shared ledger snapshot per render, zero drift). Plus a drift-safe render-path overhaul: • Removed a blocking Gateway round-trip from every page’s critical path • Coalesced the cold-render snapshot seed into a single gateway call • Instant skeleton screens when navigating to create-caper, create-proposal, and proposal pages • Deleted dead code (BlockEditor) and pruned ~25 packages from the lockfile 💰 Sharper Product Story • Fundraising is now front and center on the home page and docs — leading with the raise → deploy narrative • New “Raising funds” docs section covering curve/treasury raising and PAYOUT/INVEST deploying • New hero copy: “Locally chaotic.” → “Globally stable.” • Docs intro rewritten around the ownership / liquidity / incentives framing 🎨 UI / UX Polish • New login button: acid-green fill with a red-wing attention pulse • Footer finally foots — pinned to the bottom on every screen, even short pages (several layout fixes for the sticky navbar) • Bottom-aligned form actions with a clean action bar; breadcrumb now renders as the page title • “Get the wallet” flow — missing-wallet connects now route to a docs section with App Store / Google Play / Connector deep links • HEIC/HEIF logo uploads (Apple photos) now supported, with graceful decode failures • Relabeled “Locked” → “Backing”, now showing the actual XRD collateralising each token • Responsive fixes for the profile hero and the live-feed collapse handle 🛠️ Developer Infrastructure • Headless Stokenet redeploys — the redeploy script now builds, notarizes, and submits every step in-process with a deployer key. No more opening the Stokenet Console and waiting on wallet signatures, and wrong-key mistakes fail in under a second. caper.network 🦋

Nice 👌🏼

Proud that another DAO has chosen the Marshall Islands DAO LLC @MIDAODS for its decentralized legal entity structure!

Live now!

DeFi summer promised financial freedom. Instead we got governance attacks, rug pulls, and whale dominance. DeFi spring - the cleanup - starts with Caper.

Moloch DAOs have "ragequit" but still need external liquidity. Caper has guaranteed liquidity built-in. No external dependencies.

Founders: Stop pitching VCs. Start building capers. Your community can fund you directly through bonding curves. Zero dilution. Full control.

Radix will be the home of DAOs because it's the only chain built for DeFi from scratch. Everything else is retrofitting. We're building on the right foundation.

Swarm intelligence emerges when individual incentives align with collective goals. That's not philosophy, it's game theory. And it's exactly what Caper optimizes for.

What would Web3 look like if LP rug pulls were mathematically impossible? We want to live in that world. You?

Real talk: How many of you have actually read your DAO's governance docs before voting? Be honest.

Question for DAO builders: What's the #1 problem you wish someone would solve?

DeSci communities: VitaDAO proved the model. Now scale it. Caper makes launching BioDAOs trivial. Imagine 1,000 research DAOs funding cures.

The future of work isn't employment. It's tokenized collaboration. Own your gig. Own your data. Own your economy. Web3 makes it possible.

What we think is “fun” and “entertaining” in this industry may not be considered such outside of CT We need to solve for equity, flattening hierarchy/coordination, accessibility and opportunity as well as equitable distro of wealth

'Decentralized' DAOs with 5 wallets controlling 90% of votes aren't DAOs. They're plutocracies with extra steps and worse UI.

What would you build if you could launch a DAO with zero upfront capital? Dream big!

Long serotonin means building systems that reward long-term thinking over pump-and-dump behavior. Your brain (and your treasury) will thank you.
