Introducing the Monastery for AI-native founders. A single builder can now outperform a publicly traded company. $2 million. 12 weeks. Do the impossible.

One month of Tapir public testnet, we just hit our first real depeg event. (April hacks 👀?) Pendle_sUSDai captured cleanly, redemption working as designed. Integrations live with @yearnfi, @pendle_fi, @ethena, @MidasRWA, and @ether_fi. Data are real :D Thread update soon. Happy testing. — Tapir

Day 2 in @EthPrague. Still building. Still connecting Depeg protection shouldn't sit at the edges of DeFi, it should be at the center of every yield position. Reach out to @markoinether to connect! Good conversations pushing that idea forward today 🤝 @puffer_finance @CoWSwap @SpaceComputerIO @LidoFinance

Prague tomorrow 🇨🇿 Who else is heading to @EthPrague? Drop a reply! especially if you're working on stablecoins, LSTs, or yield-bearing assets. We'll be around all three days.

I chose stability over chasing yield this time. I've been restructuring my stablecoin positions and decided to go heavy into @yearnfi 's yBOLD strategy on @LiquityProtocol. This is one of the few DeFi protocols with zero external dependencies and immutable contracts. Just code that can't be changed. yBOLD is currently paying 9.74% in BOLD and autocompounds. That's very good. I lowered my risk appetite compared to what I was doing before. I don't want to get my fingers caught with all these things I'm working on. You can deposit via @DeFiSaver or help other curators like @Ceazor7 here: secretsandwich.xyz/vaults

VCs will ghost me after multiple meetings and time spent. Investors from oil and gas will pick up the phone and call me to let me know they're passing on the deal. There's an extremely wide gap in character and integrity between these industries.

Depeg risk sits in the foundations of some of the most exciting DeFi primitives being built right now. Looking forward to catching up with teams like @yearnfi, @puffer_finance, @LidoFinance, @Zircuit and many more at @EthPrague this week! Lot to talk about 🤝

Prague food guide @EthPrague version! There will be no food provided at ETHPrague this year, so I created this handy guide to help you navigate the local food scene and find options near the venue. This will be a long post with many tips, so bookmark it and come back to it during your trip! Link to Google Maps with spots mentioned in this post below! Setting the scene: Prague is a super safe and walkable city with excellent public transportation, an amazing food scene, and a rich beer culture. Use Bolt to get from the airport to the city, it should not cost you more than $20-ish (around 600 czk). ETHPrague is hosted at Obecni Dům, which is a central location with many nearby food options. It is also close to the major attraction, the Clock Tower (Orloj), which you shouldn't miss! Where to eat and drink beer around the ETHPrague venue within a 10-minute walk: - Burger service = my fav burgers right by the venue - Pizza nuova = amazing Italian right by the venue - Pult = beer hall - Kavarna Kampus = casual beer & drink & cafe spot - Prokop Coffee & Croissants = My favorite croissants and coffee in the Old Town! - Nase Maso = casual butcher with great burgers, pastrami, steaks - Lokal Dlouhá (with many locations throughout the city) = The best Czech food and beers - Restaurace Červený Jelen = Popular steakhouse - Sia = Amazing Asian restaurant - Cukrář Skála = My favorite cake shop in Prague! You must try their ice cream too! - Kantýna = Traditional Czech cuisine, expect meaty meals and great beer - Zem Prague = Upscale Czech cuisine, perfect for business dinners or lunches. - Vinograf = excellent food, on the higher-end side There’s also a mall with fast-food restaurants very close to the venue, offering plenty of food options—consider this as a backup! Extra tips! - Dlouha street = full of commercial clubs, popular bars, and a great younger party-and-going-out vibe. Clubs and Bars located on this street (about a 10-minute walk from Obecni dum): Roxy, James Dean, Steampunk Prague = usually the “afterparty” spot, Kenton’s New York Bar, FRAME = excellent gin & tonic bar! - More underground clubs = Cross club, Bukanyr, Fuchs2, Bike jesus - Matuška Brewery (two locations) = Their beer recently won two medals in the World Beer Competition (out of 1,600 beers!). - Prague has tons of laptop-friendly cafes, such as Space Cafe Karlín, Kolektor, Miners (in Letná), Cafe Neustadt, Tvaroh... - Riegrovy Sady: Park with an amazing sunset view and a beer garden. Tourists must see spots not to miss: - Orloj watch tower (about 10min walk from the ETH Prague venue) - Charles Bridge - Prague Castle (accessible from the Restaurant Lví Dvůr area—otherwise, you have to walk up the hill!) - Walk to see the major Prague “must-see” spots: Start at the castle (begin by the restaurant Lví Dvůr), walk through the castle area, visit “Zlatá ulička” (it’s paid, but worth a visit!), then continue down to the Lennon Wall and stroll around the beautiful area locals call “Czech Venice” (it’s tiny). Cross Charles Bridge to the Orloj. This should take about 20–40 minutes, depending on the time of day and how crowded it is. Random facts about Prague good to know: - Prague has tons of Vietnamese spots, and most of the corner stores (večerka) are run by Vietnamese people. - The best pho is at Pho100! - Beer is sometimes cheaper than water. - Do NOT use public transportation without a ticket. Ticket inspectors are very strict and can be confrontational. Just buy a ticket or pay the fine (about 50 euros)—don’t argue with them for your own peace of mind. - Prague used to have the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the EU—it’s a foodie heaven! - You can find tons of great cafes and restaurants in Prague! Use the app “Coffee Trip” and filter by what you’re looking for. Anything else that I missed in this guide that you would find helpful? Comment, and I will try to reply!

Aave is my life's work and we're working nonstop to find the best possible outcome for users. I’m personally contributing 5000 ETH to DeFi United as we continue working together with partners on formalizing more commitments. I’m working to see this resolved and market conditions normalized as soon as possible. DeFi United.

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.

It’s hard to keep believing, but I still think DeFi will win. It will just be a different kind of DeFi with no gray areas. Either fully immutable, or centralized practices with open access enabled by decentralized infrastructure.
