As a Japanese watching the UK right now, I have one simple question. A Sudanese asylum seeker just tried to behead a local man in Belfast. The victim lost an eye. This comes after years of grooming gangs raping thousands of British girls — gangs that police and councils deliberately ignored because they were afraid of being called racist. In Japan, even one case like this would have triggered national outrage and immediate policy reversal. But in Britain, the conversation is still about “not being far-right.” British people, at what point does protecting your own children become more important than protecting your reputation? We genuinely do not understand this.

Reputation systems like @fairscalexyz being integrated into every new product, every new token community, and every new founder's profile WILL BE a prerequisite to mass retail inflows. Trust has been broken. It's time to rebuild it.
What if your credibility was worth more than your capital? The future won’t be built around followers, but around trust. FairScale is building a place where people can understand their reputation, improve it over time, and put it to work. Access Opportunities Rewards Credit The internet figured out how to financialise credibility, in a world where names don’t matter.

From a crypto native perspective, Crafts brings 2 interesting features online: 1. Equity backed tokens 2. Sealed-Bid Auctions (private bidding) 🤝🏼 We've all needed this for awhile. Looking forward to this new chapter of onchain finance.
ReFi Hub's ICO opens June 2 on Crafts Details: - Date: June 2–5 - Company Valuation Range: $4M–$8M - Target: 14% of @refihub partially tokenized - Minimum Raise: $400k, starting at 10% tokenized - Full 14% Raise Range: $560k–$1.12M - Monthly allowance: $60k - Issuance Mechanism: Sealed-bid uniform-price auction Token Design breakdown: - 12.2M Total supply - 10M ICO tokens (81.9%) - 2.2M Liquidity provision (18.1%) - 0 for team (aligned value accrual through STS v2) Liquidity provision - 1.4M tokens on Raydium CLMM pool - 0.8M tokens on Raydium CPMM pool Governance: Through Crafts Constitutional Governance, token holders can propose and vote on key decisions, including treasury controls over unreleased capital and liquidation proposals from month two onward. The underlying SPV structure provides VC-grade holder protections. Additional note: ReFi Hub worked over the last months to bring in sticky capital early, under the same pricing mechanism and allocation terms as everyone else.

Today was my last day at Coinbase. I didn't work there. Just loitering around the sell button since it was GDAX.
This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15 direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

Sideways in the channel another 1.5 months max. Then up. 📈
You can argue the bottom is in. You can argue it’s not. But it’s downright silly to say this is “just like other cycles.” Those of us who lived through prior bear markets know that Bitcoin is trading quite differently from those periods.

Most tokens are not transparent. There's no standard for disclosure. Most protocols have multiple entities (Labs, DAO, Foundation, etc) and it's rarely clear how value flows between them. We're building a framework for Token Rights at DefiLlama. Our goal is to clearly define what rights tokens confer to investors. We want to show investors the most important things they need to know about tokens, so they can easily understand what they might be buying. We have three core categories: - Governance Rights (who controls what) - Economic Rights (where does value accrue and how) - Ownership Rights (who owns what) Within these categories we track whether governance rights include treasury / revenue rights, buybacks, burns, main value accrual mechanism, fundraising structures, utility, and more. The hard part: information is scattered, fundraises aren't clear, governance =/= ownership, and often downright conflicting information. But it can be better. As token design & economics improve, we can provide more transparency through clear definitions and design to help investors understand exactly what a token does & doesn't do. 75 protocol token rights are currently live. To find them, look for the Token Rights tab on a protocol's page. Projects can submit token information here: docs.llama.fi/list-your-proj…

An important design decision for @RaidArenaFun was how can we inherently minimize risk to capital while still encouraging volume. Limited time TVL User's capital is locked for 24 hours ONLY. Predict. Compete. Win. <-- then withdraw 💰
Solana was built for security. As the ecosystem scales, so does our investment in the tools, standards, and support. Today that commitment deepens with a new security program, active monitoring, formal verification for top protocols, and a new crisis response network. Learn more 👇

People thought I was crazy 2 years ago when I mentioned this tactic actually works. I've interviewed close to 80 devs and can confidently say ~33% could NOT repeat the line I instructed. If you listened, you're welcome. 🤝🏼

👨‍🦯Hardware devices like @Ledger and @Trezor will allow for 'Blind Signing' and thus showing you conditions that look like random jarbled non-sense on your HWD screens. 🤯You could sign a malicious transaction without even knowing it, until it's too late.😡 ➡️These companies, dev researchers, and industry titans should all DO BETTER. You can't expect this to carry on and gain the acceptance of 'the next 100 million' crypto users. ‼️Get real. Sort it out. NO MORE BLIND SIGNING.
On October 16, 2024, Radiant Capital experienced a highly sophisticated security breach that resulted in the loss of $50 million USD. The attackers exploited multiple developers' hardware wallets through a highly advanced malware injection. The devices were compromised in such a way that the front-end of @safe{Wallet} (f.k.a. Gnosis Safe) displayed legitimate transaction data while poisoned transactions were signed and executed in the background. This breach occurred during a routine multi-signature emissions adjustment process, which takes place periodically to adapt to market conditions and utilization rates. The DAO contributors strictly adhered to many industry standard operating procedures throughout the process. Each transaction was simulated for accuracy on Tenderly and individually reviewed by multiple developers at each signature stage. Front-end checks in both Tenderly and Safe showed no anomalies during these reviews. To underscore the significance of this point, the compromise was completely undetectable during the manual review of the Gnosis Safe UI and Tenderly simulation stages of the routine transaction. This has been confirmed by external security teams, including @_SEAL_Org and @HypernativeLabs. Radiant Capital has been working very closely with Seal911 and Hypernative and has since implemented stronger multisig controls. The U.S. law enforcement and @zeroshadow_io are fully informed of the breach and are actively working to freeze all stolen assets. The DAO is deeply devastated by this attack and will continue to work tirelessly with the respective agencies to identify the exploiter and recover the stolen funds as quickly as possible. For the full post-mortem, see: medium.com/@RadiantCapital/f…

Public sale fundoors.. @craftsdev are building a model based on the lessons learned not only from the IDO years, but also the more recent DBC launchpad season(s). Sign up. I can tell you now, this will be interesting.
Top startup raises used to require connections you didn't have and minimums you couldn't meet. Crafts just changed that: > Private access > Curated deals > Equity-linked tokens Limited spots - Apply now.
