Aave came out in 2020 selling permissionless lending as the better option when the Fed rate was basically zero. and honestly it made sense back then, 2-3% onchain was way better than anything TradFi was offering.
Now the Fed rate is 3.5-3.75%. Aave V3 supply rates right now? USDT 1.89%, ETH 1.67%, USDC 2.69% and even lower in Aave V4
The biggest DeFi lending protocol with $34B in deposits is paying lenders less than a T-bill. that's not a temporary thing, it's how pool-based models work. rates come from utilization curves, not actual price discovery between lenders and borrowers
This is why we @CentuariLabs build the opposite, fixed rate lending on an orderbook where both sides name their rate and pick their duration.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

🇮🇷 Iran's Parliament Speaker just explained their entire playbook out loud.
Ghalibaf says Iran treats negotiations the same way it treats missiles: as a weapon you deploy when it's useful and pause when it isn't.
Lebanon was the case study he cited. Combine diplomacy with military pressure, alternate between the two, keep the enemy guessing.
On the naval blockade specifically, his words were direct: "We will turn the naval blockade into yet another defeat for the enemy."
This matters because Western analysts keep framing every Iranian offer to talk as a sign of weakness or internal pressure.
Ghalibaf is telling you it isn't. A ceasefire offer and a missile threat can come from the same strategic playbook, sometimes on the same day.
Every time Iran signals willingness to negotiate, ask what the military posture looks like at the same moment. That's the actual position.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel has used white phosphorus in southern Lebanon dozens to hundreds of times since early 2026, including near Tyre, a UNESCO-protected site.
It burns at 1,300°C, sticks to skin, and reignites until the particle is removed.
International law bans this near civilians. Israel keeps doing it anyway.

This is how blockchain actually scales and how we give back.
Honored to have been an instructor right here. Train the educators, and this will scale and reach thousands of students you'll never meet directly. Sharing what we've learned with the Filipino Web3 community was the least we could do.
🇮🇩🇵🇭
A milestone for Web3 education in the Philippines 🇵🇭 🇮🇩
We just concluded the Blockchain Curriculum: Train the Trainers Program, a 5-day intensive training designed to empower academe faculty and instructors to bring blockchain education into the classroom.

The concern is real. LSTs are the collateral backbone of DeFi right now. stETH alone is everywhere, Aave, Morpho, Spark, you name it. Cut staking yields and you shrink the incentive to stake, which shrinks the LST supply, which pulls collateral out from under the entire ecosystem.
"Kill Ethereum" is very dramatic but the direction is right. DeFi is Ethereum's main value prop and a huge chunk of it runs on LST collateral.
But @Marczeller put it best. ETH inflation is already 0.8%. If Ethereum can't sustain that without panicking about supply, maybe the real problem is demand. L1 usage dropped after EIP-4844 moved everything to L2s, so the burn isn't keeping up with issuance anymore. Thats a demand problem not an inflation problem
Tinkering with issuance curves won't fix why people aren't using Ethereum L1
Apr 29
Current ETH inflation is 0.8% per annum.
If you are ready to disturb a whole industry, have investors mark you down in the "unpredictable" category because the product you build doesn't have enough organic demand to sustain a <1% inflation.
Maybe the issue is with the product's demand, and no amount of tweaks and belly dancing on the infra will steer the boat.

Bro, this journey the past few months has never been easy, we’ve learned so much, walking through the highs and lows together. But one thing I know for sure: we’re not just creating another product or financial service. We’re creating history with the family I love, dreaming higher than anyone ever believed possible.
Together lets keep thriving andbuilding a team that can construct a tower lasting decades or more.

Gua personally bener bener ga nyangka bahwa @CentuariLabs bisa sejauh ini, berawal cuman dari @devweb3jogja ikut hackathon dan sekarang akan partneran dengan salah satu top 10 ETF issuers di US dan masih banyak top US company lain nya.
Kita satu tim ga ada yg punya background ivy league atau top global company, pinter banget juga engga sebenernya, umur masih 20 an semua, bener bener modal nekat, ambisi sama bodo amat sama kata orng.
Ga sabar dengan modal nekat dan ambisi ini kedepan nya Centuari bakal bisa ngelakuin hal gila apalagi.

For context, this is about the recent rsETH/KelpDAO hack where the Arbitrum Security Council froze the exploiter’s ~30k ETH to recover it.
My take: I genuinely don’t get how people are so small-minded about calling this freezing action “centralized” like it’s automatically a bad thing.
This was literally the best move to keep the whole blockchain thriving. Small mistakes don’t mean you don’t deserve a second chance and this is what true responsibility from the governance actually looks like.
I’ll say it only once: there is not a single chain, app, or protocol that is fully decentralized even Bitcoin. There will always be governance, and there will always a group that hold the real power. The difference is whether that power is used for good and to be responsible because they watching 24/7 actually care about the greater good of the ecosystem.
It’s like calling someone a coward for saying “DeFi isn’t mature because it keeps getting hacked”… while at the same time bashing the projects that actually take responsible action and then claiming “this isn’t decentralized.”
Imagine it’s YOUR money, hundreds of millions hacked and there’s literally no way to get it back. Would you still be mad at the team that stepped up and froze the funds?
Apr 21
This exposes Arbitrum as a multisign wallet that can unilaterally freeze and steal funds though.
Which tbh may be a good option, lets accept bitcoin is the only real descentralized chain, the rest are centralized but without KYC.

$292M drained from Kelp DAO. Aave now sitting on ~$236M in bad debt it cannot liquidate.
The exploit was one forged cross-chain message on a bridge secured by a single validator. A warning for this exact scenario was posted on the Aave governance forum 15 months ago and ignored.
Here is what actually happened, and what every lending protocol should be doing differently after today.

A lot of people are calling Mythos dangerous but i’m seeing this differently. From a technical perspective this is a huge leap forward and the security industry is going to benefit massively.
The model already found tens of thousands of zero-days during testing including a 27 year old OpenBSD bug that no human had caught. If this gets put in the right hands it means companies finally have a tool that can scan their entire codebase and find vulnerabilities that have been hiding for decades.
The people working on Project Glasswing aren’t random, it’s Apple, Microsoft, Google, AWS, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks. These are the companies that actually defend critical infrastructure.
Technology like AI is like a coin, it has two sides. focus only on the bad side and you’ll never grow. Focus on the good side and you’ll see how much it can actually help. the same capability that scares people is the same capability that finally lets defenders get ahead of attackers.

Mythos Preview has already found thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities—including some in every major operating system and web browser.

A bit story of my past: I worked corporate for 3 years until it hit me: my family isn’t getting any younger, and I couldn’t keep putting my dreams on hold. I’m still young, and I’d rather take the risk now than live with regret later.
That’s why I left to build something of my own. The road is bleeding, but I don’t regret a single thing. More time with family, more time to grow, more time chasing the dream. I’m meeting incredible people and learning way more than I ever did in corporate.
Many of you maybe asking, why I keep pushing forward with content, DeFi, crypto when everything looks so bleak.
Back in my corpo days, I have a friend named Brian.
Brian and I worked different departments, but the worst clients had a way of pulling everyone into the same chaos.
He was older, steadier. The kind of person who had already survived what most of us were still afraid of.
Then he got sick and dying.
The last time we talked, he wasn't thinking about performance reviews or quarterly targets.
He looked at me and said, "I don't regret the work. I just regret the clock. I wish I'd given more of those hours to my sons and families."
That hit different than anything a boss ever said to me.
I looked around after that and saw the same story playing out everywhere.
Smart people, good people, giving their best years to something that was never going to love them back. Waiting for a someday that kept moving further away.
I decided mine would be a different story.
So I resigned and went all in. No Plan B. Crypto, content, building something real, pursuing my passions.
The goal was never just money. It was time. Wealth is just the mechanism. What I actually want is to never have to choose between showing up and earning a living.
But something unexpected happened along the way though.
The volatility that breaks most people started to feel like home to me. The 24/7 pulse of this industry matched something in me I hadn't found anywhere else.
I think, I stopped running away from something and started running toward it.
Now when markets bleed, I think of Brian. Every hour I put into this is an hour I'm investing in a future where I don't look back and count the ones I wasted.
I think that's the only reason I need.

Paul is right, people want control over their own risk. but the Resolv exploit showed exactly where this breaks down.
Morpho’s contracts were fine. the curator model worked as designed. but when $6M in USDC got drained through automated vaults feeding into a depegged asset, Morpho pointed to the curators and the curators pointed to the oracle. nobody was responsible.
Fully permissionless sounds great until something goes wrong and there’s no one to step in. but fully controlled defeats the purpose of DeFi.
what we actually need is somewhere in the middle. users own their risk and their assets, but the protocol has enough control to act responsibly when things break. permissionless by default, but someone is accountable when it matters.
Apr 4
Morpho CEO said out loud what everyone at DAS was thinking after the Resolv exploit:
"No one wants to rely on DAO-managed risk management for their assets, they want control. They want control on risk, on compliance."
If the protocol at the center of the curator crisis is explicitly calling for institutional curators to bring regulated guardrails onchain, what does that tell you about where vault infrastructure is headed?

tl;dr - This was a long game. Hackers established trust at an IRL conference, set up a TG channel, became a legitimate-looking customer, and spent 6 months building integrations. Then they socially engineered one person using a TestFlight link.
Sharing this to help the ecosystem protect itself. Steps to take now:
- Audit team access who has it, why, and when it was last reviewed
- Treat every device touching your multisig as a potential attack vector
- Check in with your team on any unusual outreach or new integrations

I really hope we stop seeing this. every single one of these sets crypto back. $453M gone in 4 months and we’re not even halfway through the year
I wish more people in this space would put their skills toward fixing the loopholes instead of exploiting them. the talent is clearly there, it’s just pointed in the wrong direction
what a rough year for DeFi😭
Apr 2
35 DeFi protocols hacked in 2026 already
$453M lost in just 4 months
• January $103M across 12 protocols
• February $24M across 8 protocols
• March $41M across 14 protocols
• April so far $285M across 1 protocol
Smart contract bugs and compromised private keys
This industry has a serious security problem
When does it actually get fixed?

Holysh*t $285M gone and it's not even a code bug. this might be the biggest DeFi hack of 2026 and I hope there will be no upcoming hack :(
from what PeckShield and onchain researchers are seeing, it looks like admin keys were compromised. not a contract exploit, not a flash loan attack. someone got access to the keys, and the contracts did exactly what they were told to do
that's the part that should scare people. you can audit the code a hundred times and it wouldn't have caught this. the logic was fine, the problem was who had access
we talk so much about smart contract security in DeFi but the biggest exploits keep coming back to key management and access control
Apr 2
The Drift exploit wasn’t a smart contract bug. Someone on the multisig changed the admin, another member approved it, and then the attacker initialized a fake token with an inflated oracle price and drained real assets through cross-margin. The code worked exactly as designed.
That’s what makes this scarier than a typical hack. You can audit the contract a hundred times and never catch this. The vulnerability wasn’t in the logic, it was in who had the keys.

Some AI makes you productive but some AI wants to destroys your future. This is very revolutionary if used in the medical context but if used for the entertainment algorithm, surething will destroys any age’s future. The perfect example to use the tech to maximise profit but to steals lifes.
