Over 100k SOL is stranded in SPL mint accounts from people accidentally sending SOL to it instead of a wallet. p-token adds a new WithdrawExcessLamports ix that enables you to reclaim stranded lamports on mints, token accts or multisigs. I vibed a tool to help find your lost lamports 👇

1/ This year’s official @consensus2026 closing party by @CoinDesk was a massive step backward. Hosting the flagship event at E11even — a strip club — wasn't just inappropriate; it was incredibly low-brow for an industry trying to grow up. 2/ Let’s be clear: I’m all for alcohol, music, and a good time. Hire a world-class DJ. Throw a massive rave. Go to Club Space. But choosing a strip club as the official venue for a global conference is a choice that reflects poorly on all of us. 3/ Just because this happened in 2021 doesn't mean it should happen in 2026. Back then, Coinbase, FTX and Binance execs were there, but the industry has evolved. We are supposed to be moving toward institutional maturity, not leaning into "bro-culture" clichés. 4/ I’ve always been an advocate for sex work. I have zero issue with women making $40k–$80k on their own terms. The issue is the context. 5/ When an official event for a top-tier conference — filled with institutional partners and people of all genders and religions — centres on women shaking for dollars, it diminishes women to sexual objects and enforces a stale, exclusionary culture. 6/ It’s honestly boring. I guarantee brands like @MetaMask and CoinDesk will one day look back at their logos plastered on those walls with genuine embarrassment. 7/ We had international attendees flying in from across the globe. Is this really the best US crypto has to offer? Working the pole is a skill, but watching it in a professional context just left most people looking dazed and awkward. 8/ The vibe was off. I ran into my banker and some mid-tier hedge fund guys there. We can talk millions on Wall Street or over steak, but meeting at a strip club is unnecessary. We could’ve hit a polo club, a baseball box, or played padel. 9/ Even the economics were a "bear market" vibe. Most people were just watching with a mix of shock and intrigue. The girls weren't making much. They used to take crypto; now they don't. The floor was dry. No fiat moving. Why were we even there? 10/ Seeing a banker film the stage (until security stepped in) while seeing my bankers logos walk around in a strip club is the peak of industry cognitive dissonance. 11/ This industry is capable of so much more, yet we keep tripping over our own feet. We want to be taken seriously on the world stage, but we’re still acting like we’re in a basement. We must do better. Special shoutout to @SolanaFndn, @amystreet, and @SuperteamUSA. Your Accelerate vibe was immaculate, paired with the best Mario Kart-themed afterparty. 🏎️💨 It was the perfect illustration that "crypto culture" doesn’t have to mean "bro culture." You can have high-energy, high-intelligence fun without… whatever E11even was. Let’s talk economics: A single sponsorship for that E11even event costed roughly $90k. The entire Mario Kart event? Maybe $50k. Using a massive brand budget to alienate half your audience is a spectacular waste of capital. 📣📣📣 Conference organizers and sponsors: we have to do better. If we want to move millions on Wall Street, we need to stop acting like we belong in a basement. ✌️

The claims process has now concluded and payouts have been sent to all those that submitted eligible claims.

The Arbitrum Security Council has taken emergency action to freeze the 30,766 ETH being held in the address on Arbitrum One that is connected to the KelpDAO exploit. The Security Council acted with input from law enforcement as to the exploiter’s identity, and, at all times, weighed its commitment to the security and integrity of the Arbitrum community without impacting any Arbitrum users or applications. After significant technical diligence and deliberation, the Security Council identified and executed a technical approach to move funds to safety without affecting any other chain state or Arbitrum users. As of April 20 11:26pm ET the funds have been successfully transferred to an intermediary frozen wallet. They are no longer accessible to the address that originally held the funds, and can only be moved by further action by Arbitrum governance, which will be coordinated with relevant parties.

👏👏👏 Great job, creates the exact sort of precedent that many others can lean on in future cases. During the Step hack Solana validators had 48h while SOL was unstaking and could have done the same, instead everyone was watching the train wreck in slow motion. Hope as an industry we can all come up with ready triggers to act when the time comes.

The claim portal is now open. If you had STEP or xSTEP in a wallet as of January 30th 2026, please submit a claim. The portal will be open for 1 month as we collect claims. Payments will be processed at the end of that time period. claims.step.finance/

Every company should assume that at some point: - an executive laptop may be compromised - a team member may be socially engineered - a browser session may be stolen - a machine may run malware - a hot wallet may be exposed Your setup has to be built around that assumption.

Planning to write a post-mortem/learnings on the recent events and the past 5 years working in this ecosystem. Stay tuned.

SolanaFloor is back. As of today, we are thrilled to announce that SolanaFloor has been acquired by @jito_sol and will resume operations under the Jito Foundation’s ownership while maintaining full editorial independence. After announcing a wind-down in February 2026 following an exploit tied to our parent organization, we explored external financing and acquisition options. However, the team was unable to secure a viable path forward at the time, leaving a gap in independent coverage of onchain activity across the Solana ecosystem. Now, we can resume operations. While SolanaFloor will operate under Jito Foundation ownership, all editorial decisions including story selection, data presentation, and coverage priorities will remain fully independent of Jito Foundation’s activities, partnerships, and interests. The mission remains unchanged: documenting the ongoing rise of the Solana ecosystem and providing clear, unbiased research and journalism. It’s a critical time for the chain. Spot $SOL ETFs have crossed $1B in AUM. The ecosystem is gradually institutionalizing. New DeFi tools and integrations emerge every day. The need for independent Solana coverage has never been more apparent. “When SolanaFloor went dark, the ecosystem lost something difficult to replace,” said @brian_smith_0 , President of Jito Foundation. “This acquisition is about filling the gap with a platform that operates from a position of editorial independence. Jito has a long term stake in the health of the Solana ecosystem, and that means investing in the infrastructure and public goods that keeps the community informed.” Additional details on the relaunch -- including editorial structure, commercial offerings, and team updates -- will be shared soon.
