Which are the most active Discord servers for DeFi on @base and @Optimism ? Shout-out in the comments 📣

"This time is different" #Bitcoin

Predictive Allocation is a new primitive We build on primitives ⚙️ 👀

It's official: @Optimism DeFi season is here! 🔴 With 350,000 OP in rewards made available by the Optimism S9 Growth Grant, we're kickstarting the Arcadia launch campaign in style. 🏆 Through Arcadia, users can scout DEX pools, analyse liquidity distributions, and deploy automated positions in a matter of seconds. OP incentives target select pools aimed at deepening strategic liquidity for in-demand collateral assets on OP Mainnet money markets. These include major wBTC and WETH pairs, as well @AlchemixFi alETH and alUSD, available on @VelodromeFi. Shout-out to our partners for making this happen! @TenderlyApp @OpenCover @KyberNetwork @merkl_xyz Visit arcadia.finance/farm?chains=… to get started.

Proud to be working with @animocabrands on building protocol-owned liquidity for their portfolio companies. Arcadia Foundry provides automated liquidity management for protocol treasuries in a fully permissionless execution environment. We ran a successful pilot with @Portalcoin, where Arcadia Foundry served to establish liquidity in conjunction with the BLIFE merger. The pilot met Animoca's expectations, and we look forward to continue our collaboration. Foundry will enable Animoca Brands to handle the full PoL deployment cycle for their portfolio companies as a turnkey infrastructure solution. That's powerful, and exactly how we envision DeFi to lead the next wave of innovation. ☄️

Arcadia has been selected as an official grantee for the @Optimism S9 Growth Grant 🏆 Our grant application focuses on strengthening liquidation routes for assets with high collateral ratios, supporting a healthy DeFi ecosystem. $350,000 $OP will be streamed to Arcadia LPs who provide active, automated, and in-range liquidity to select DEX pairs on OP Mainnet. More information coming soon.

The next generation of LP automations are coming to Arcadia 🧬 🐮 Asset Manager modules were powerful, but lacked a key piece of architecture. That all changes today, thanks to a powerful new @CoWSwap integration!

With yields on WETH/USDC pairs staying strong, let's take a look at the options for leveraged farming so you can make the most out of it. 💡 Why leveraged farming? Capital efficiency: borrow against the LP to increase the position size. But that's not all, since Arcadia offers different numeraires to take debt in, positions can be set up to approach delta-neutrality. And why delta-neutrality? Capital preservation! Usually, yield farmers rely on farming rewards to outweigh the potential loss of holding a volatile position. But for large cap pairs like ETH and BTC, that's not a viable path. Instead, taking debt in the base asset (ETH or BTC) changes the PnL curve of the position to offer some interesting characteristics. ✦ Curve no. 1 (top) A classic curve with debt in USDC. Upside is capped while downside steepens. Only useful if you have a bullish bias. ✦ Curve no. 2 Debt in WETH, with the Entry price at the geometric centre. Notice how PnL stays relatively flat close to centre. Suited for a rebalancing strategy when price moves x% from centre. Reduced volatility relative to curve 1. ✦ Curve no. 3 Debt in WETH, with the Entry price at the lower bound. This creates two breakeven points at each side of the range. In between, PnL is positive, while outside the range PnL tapers off. Very useful for timed entries/exits! Understanding when to take which debt is crucial to building effective farming strategies.

Bitcoin just made a meaningful step toward future quantum resistance 💪 An updated version of BIP 360 has just been merged into the official Bitcoin BIP GitHub repository. The update introduces Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), a proposed new output type that omits Taproot’s quantum-vulnerable key-path spend while preserving compatibility with Tapscript and script trees. It also includes: - Removal of Taproot’s quantum-vulnerable key-path spend in a separate opt-in new output type. - A foundation for introducing post-quantum signatures while using Tapscript/script tree for spend time optionality. - The change is a soft fork that does not affect existing Taproot outputs. - Addition of Isabel Foxen Duke as co-author, to ensure the BIP was clear and understandable to the general public, not just the Bitcoin developer community. The BIP also addresses criticism about Bitcoin devs not taking the quantum threat seriously. We are grateful to every Bitcoin contributor who took the time to review and provide feedback.

Our WETH lending pool has been earning 20% for over 7 consecutive days. 20% on ETH Yes you read that right.

If you look at SPX/GOLD (overlaid with just SPX), you can see that risk assets breaking down from these levels is usually not a good thing. What typically happens is whenever metals correct, SPX corrects harder. And during that process a lot of the useless garbage goes to zero. So basically a lot of people just keep holding on to useless shitcoins that are going to zero on the hope of the constant and elusive promise of an alt season. Will metals correct sometime in the coming months? Yes. But that does not mean there will be a rotation into alts. Just like when BTC topped in October 2025, there was no rotation into alts.

When Reserve and Kraken team up, you know they mean business. The new CF Large Cap Index DTF $LCAP tracks 95% of crypto's market cap, an ideal choice for balanced farming strategies.

2026 is all about Protocol-owned Liquidity. You might not have realized, but the manner in which protocols deploy liquidity onchain has a major impact on the health of their treasury. Inefficient liquidity is surprisingly more common than expected, our internal study reveals, and this carries downstream risk for both traders and long-term holders. We need to do better as an industry, and so we've been working quietly in the background on a new product: Arcadia Pro. The first protocols have already migrated their liquidity to Arcadia Pro with solid results. As a @cbventures portfolio company, we'll roll it out across the entire @base ecosystem in '26. Here's to better onchain liquidity! 🥂 Read on for a short intro.

Nuno Loureiro was assassinated yesterday He was a professor the director of MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center > 47 years old > Studied nuclear fusion (= energy source of the Sun stars) for 10 years at MIT > His award-winning work focused on creating a virtually limitless, clean energy source on Earth - one that doesn’t produce carbon or radioactive waste (usual biproduct of fission reactors) > His research was essentially a threat to companies in the energy sector (fossil fuels, wind, solar, etc) > Nuno was vital to the development of fusion nuclear power plants, without him the path ahead is less clear his death will set back the entire field Nuno is not the first MIT fusion scientist to be brutally murdered, in 2004 Eugene Mallove was also shot in his home I hope this opens eyes – there is an agenda at play

Arcadia is launching on @unichain 🦄 We love to make DEX LP management easy and accessible, so naturally we're very excited to grow even deeper roots into the Uniswap ecosystem. With over $100 million in TVL on Uniswap managed manually, we believe it's time to offer the Uniswap community the tools they deserve. Through Arcadia, users can scout Unichain pools, analyse liquidity distributions, and deploy positions in a matter of seconds. With built-in tools and automations, adjusting your ranges to follow the market or claiming and compounding yield becomes effortless. This is why we build Arcadia, why we integrate Uniswap v4 hooks, and why we get up every day to continue shipping code. A heartfelt thanks to @UniswapFND and @growuniswap for supporting our mission. Shoutout to our partners @lidocommunity @SkyEcosystem @merkl_xyz for being the best. Now let's get farming! 🧑‍🌾
