Neutrl has processed over $500M in NUSD redemptions since launch.

Designed to balance liquidity and long-duration yield, Neutrl’s allocation framework enables users to access differentiated sources of return while maintaining redeemability across all market conditions.

As opportunities across defi continue to compress, Neutrl remains focused on sourcing sustainable, risk-adjusted returns from a broader set of market-neutral strategies.

@MaxCrypto I remember around 2021 they plan to launch an exchange called EOSIO with that funding but never released

[Neutrl @Neutrl]

More than $6.8M has already been committed to Founders Locks.

Designed for users aligned with Neutrl’s long-term growth, Founders Locks earn up to 700x Neutrl Points while continuing to receive SSR passthrough yield.

Season 2 is live.

[Altcoin Daily @AltcoinDaily]

After Bitcoin, Ethereum is the obvious next choice for institutions.

[Ash Crypto @AshCrypto]

$ETH is now the most oversold it has EVER been in its history.

- Down -70% from its ATH
- Price at the same level as 4 years ago
- Monthly RSI more oversold than the 2018 and 2022 bear market bottoms

In the last bear cycle, ETH crashed -82% from its ATH and formed a bottom in June 2022

Do you think the bottom is in for this cycle or will ETH go lower ?

[James @JamesEastonUK]

$ETH is in PRIME DCA territory.

Current risk: 0.1

NAUGHT POINT ONE.

I am SHAKING.

Power of investing

[James @JamesEastonUK]

Modern finance is being BUILT on ETH.

It's been CONSOLIDATING for 5 years.

Institutions are STACKING like there's no tomorrow.

Supply is CONSTANTLY being locked due to staking.

The chart is sexy AF.

But 'AnonMcHumper' says it's all over again...

[DeFi Warhol @Defi_Warhol]

I'm not seeing many safety posts after all the recent exploits.

Even if protocols were targeted and not individual users, it's good to stay vigilant during bad market conditions.

Here are 10 safety principles I live by in the crypto space:

————���——————

1️⃣ Use a hardware wallet for long-term storage

If you have idle assets in your hot wallet, you're exposing them unnecessarily.

The main risk comes from holding them in the same wallet you use to trade.

A hardware wallet keeps your private key offline and requires physical confirmation for every signature. Remote access becomes essentially impossible.

2️⃣ Write your seed phrase on paper and store it offline

You've probably heard this way too often, but it's true.

Paper in a physically safe location has no remote attack surface. It's the only way to store something this important.

Do NOT store it in your Cloud, Photos app, or notepad. You can argue that a Notepad document on a USB is safer, but it doesn't beat the original method.

3️⃣ Use burner wallets for riskier activities

Minting a new NFT collection from a project's website can be very dangerous.

Simpler approach: use a separate burner wallet with a small amount of funds for riskier activities like these. The only funds you can lose are the ones you added for minting.

4️⃣ Revoke token approvals after every interaction

A protocol you gave permissions to a long time ago could be an attack vector.

During @opensea's 2022 protocol migration, users with unrevoked approvals had NFTs sold at old floor prices. This wouldn't have happened if they'd revoked their approvals beforehand.

@Rabby_io has a great tool for batch-revoking approvals with 1 click.

5️⃣ Bookmark websites of protocols you use

Sponsored Google site results can still be an attack vector, even if it's less common now.

You Google a DEX name, click on a sponsored link, sign a message on the impostor site, and your assets are gone.

Search results get poisoned, and fake domains look identical to real ones. A bookmark removes that risk entirely.

6️⃣ Use a reliable extension for signatures

Most users in crypto don't understand signatures, and they're a common attack vector.

Tools like @PocketUniverseZ give you detailed information on what you're signing, so you can avoid drainers.

7️⃣ Stay alert with unsolicited DMs

A stranger DMs offering a job, help recovering lost funds, or an investment opportunity with guaranteed returns. Every one of these is a social engineering attempt.

DMs are the most common entry point for crypto scams on X, Discord, and especially Telegram.

If someone reaches out first, review if they're legit before you interact.

Most importantly, do NOT click on any links in DMs.

8️⃣ Spread your funds across multiple wallets/exchanges

Any CEX could freeze withdrawals overnight (or in @Bybit_Official's case, get hacked).

Your onchain wallet could get compromised if you use it for interactions.

It's almost impossible for both to happen at the same time.

No single wallet or exchange should hold everything. Spreading across multiple locations means one hack, shutdown, or exploit will only affect a portion of your holdings, not all of them.

9️⃣ Use multi-sig on high-value wallets

Single-key wallets have a single point of failure.

Multi-sig requires multiple approvals to execute a transaction, so one compromised wallet won't be enough to drain your assets.

Users rarely practice this because of the extra steps, but it can be a lifesaver.

You can use @gnosis_ for this.

🔟 Set spending limits on token approvals

A lending protocol gets exploited. Users who approved unlimited access lose their full token balance. Users who capped it lose only what was in active use.

Unlimited approvals are the default because they're convenient, but they give a protocol maximum access indefinitely. A specific limit contains the worst-case outcome.

———————————

All of these are easy to implement and follow through.

Be disciplined and protect your assets properly.

You'll be thankful you did.

@coinfoin_ @Neutrl True, my poor 4.5k could've been more productive. Lesson learned

Im bullish on Neutrl points but slowly I'm getting sidelined on that theory 🙃
