Consensys is proud to join DeFi United alongside @aave with up to 30,000 ETH to support the rsETH recovery.
The Ethereum ecosystem has always been at its best when it moves as one.
DeFi United.
I beg everyone in crypto to read this in full.
I expected this to be another case of social engineering, likely some recruiter/job offer shit.
I was very wrong.
And the depth of the operation and personas makes me think they already have multiple other teams on lock.
😳
This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.
@maccurated@MetaMask Hey @maccurated thanks for flagging - please DM me if there's any outstanding issue or if you're willing to give more details/feedback.
We aggregate a few providers that offer this route and the quote we show by default is the most cost-effective, not necessarily fastest.
Swap and bridge, without leaving MetaMask.
@MetaMask now routes some of the best swap and bridge paths through @AcrossProtocol, so you get fast, low-cost liquidity between Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Optimism, and more.
Powered in part by Across.
MetaMask is now faster than the rest.
Your swaps and bridge transactions are much more competitive, because your quotes are now:
🏎️ Delivered 2x faster
🌉 Sourced across EIGHTEEN providers
⛽ No longer requiring native gas tokens for eight different networks
There’s been chatter about a MetaMask rewards leak. Those concepts were early prototypes — not live. But the vision behind them is very real. And it is all about building a token economy.
MetaMask is building the future of personal finance. We’re designing an experience that rewards people for how they already use MetaMask through meaningful incentives, perks, and referrals. In Season 1, we’re distributing over $30 million in multiple forms, including $LINEA tokens to users for the onchain activity they already do every day. This is just the first step toward a much larger evolution, one that deepens how MetaMask connects, empowers, and rewards its community.
The MetaMask token will extend that vision, empowering our community and honoring the OGs who’ve been with us from the start. Long-time users will see meaningful benefits, not only through Season 1 of Rewards but also through the upcoming MetaMask TGE. At the same time, we’re welcoming new users to explore and do more with MetaMask, creating value for everyone who participates. If you haven’t transacted with MetaMask in a while, now’s the time to update your MetaMask, and give it another try. We’ve shipped a lot of great improvements lately, and MetaMask now is better than ever, on both browser extension and mobile.
Across Consensys, we’re building token-powered economies that create positive-sum relationships between users and builders. Starting with Linea, expanding through MetaMask, soon through DIN (Infura’s Decentralized Infrastructure project) – and beyond. We’re grateful for your feedback as we continue to build with you, and for you, as we bring the global economy onchain and lock in the paradigm shift to progressive decentralization. We are shipping big projects and features at an accelerated pace. Look out for something new and impactful every couple of weeks or so in Uptober, November, December and throughout 2026.

I am reporting stolen funds from a scam that occurred today, 21.08.2025 at 10:45, in Lausanne, Switzerland. After conducting blockchain analysis, I confirmed that the stolen Bitcoin has been swapped into USDT on Tron, where the funds are still being held. The scammer used your services and products to perform the scam.
Facts:
•The scammer called my sister, Tshahé Anongba Varela, pretending to be from Europol.
•He instructed her to download Ameray Remote and input her seed phrase into @phantom .
•He then transferred the Bitcoin from her wallet to his own, bridged it, and swapped to USDT on Tron.
Transaction Flow:
1. Bitcoin held in Ledger by Tshahé Anongba.
2. Sent to Phantom wallet: https://t.co/ga61n2UWqO
3. Stolen and transferred to scammer’s wallet: https://t.co/fDS2sdNmpz
4. Bridged and swapped to Tron USDT using @Bridgersxyz : https://t.co/LPe0GKp8u6.
- Smart contract used: https://t.co/wIIyFAnVD3
- Funds currently on address: https://t.co/11WQKzf45e
Urgency:
The scammer still holds these funds and additional assets on Tron. Given the current state of the wallet, there may still be time to freeze the assets before further movement.

Today, we're announcing MetaMask USD ($mUSD) - MetaMask's native stablecoin. 🦊
MetaMask is the first self custodial wallet to launch a stablecoin, and we have big plans for it. 🧵👇
@ariutokintumi@MetaMask@mikashi Hey @ariutokintumi - thanks for flagging this issue! Rest assured, this is a UI bug and no fees were taken on your swap. We have never and will never charge fees for wrapping/unwrapping ETH.
This bug is actively being fixed thanks to your post 🫡
@lex_node What actually happens on-chain is what matters for tax treatment (i.e. the contract call, token movement, and whether one asset was exchanged for another).
None of this has changed as a result of unifying swap and bridge under the "Swap" button in our UI
