1/ Meet Zachary Wolk (@zachxbt), the crypto investigator who's exposed $500M+ in fraud.
He investigated everyone. Nobody ever investigated him.
I found him in a free neighborhood paper. Also found ~$5M of "donations" from the people who never appear in his threads.
holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges

Anthropic pays engineers $750,000 a year to understand how AI models actually work.
Stanford just put the same knowledge on YouTube.
2 hours. Completely free.
This is the lecture that teaches you what most AI courses skip entirely.
Not how to use the tools.
Why they work the way they do.
The engineers who understand the why build things the people who only know the how cannot even conceive of.
The gap between those two groups is $750,000 a year.
You can close most of it in an afternoon.
Bookmark this before you scroll past it.
Watch it this weekend.
Not eventually.
This weekend.
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.
The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.
Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.
INTRODUCING: ARKHAM DECENTRALIZED TRADING
We’ve launched decentralized trading on Arkham - so you can find and trade the best tokens on Solana with lightning speed.
Track the most promising recently launched tokens and traders in real-time, then trade with that data on Arkham.
Introducing aWETH Redemption Protocol
With ETH utilization at 100% on Aave, many lenders are currently unable to withdraw and face increasing risk if markets move.
aWETH Redemption Protocol allows ETH lenders to:
• Exit into wstETH or weETH
• Regain immediate liquidity
• Reduce exposure to liquidation risk
If you’re just lending ETH — you can fully exit.
If you have ETH collateral and another debt — your collateral is seamlessly swapped into wstETH or weETH while your debt remains the same.
We’re working alongside @LidoFinance , @ether_fi, @0xProject, @1inch,
@KyberNetwork, and other ecosystem partners to:
• Reduce systemic risk in DeFi
• Ease utilization pressure
• Support a healthier DeFi market
Our goal is simple: protect users while reinforcing the foundations of DeFi.
Capacity is initially limited to $1B in ETH.

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.
Looking for a job in crypto? Now, LlamaAI can help you out.
We now have job listing data integrated to find which companies are hiring, the most in-demand skills, benchmark compensation, and specific roles that are a good fit.
Following the KelpDAO hack, we built an open analysis of DVN security configurations across every active OApp on LayerZero over the last 90 days.
Of ~2,665 unique OApp contracts: 47% run a 1-of-1 DVN security floor, 45% run 2-of-2, and ~5% run 3-of-3 or higher.
As we know, KelpDAO's rsETH sat in the first bucket.
Open query, public methodology, feedback welcome:

Fluid has the largest looped ETH vault in DeFi called Lite ETH
lite vault has wstETH collateral and ETH debt on Aave
This is basically an offer to users with the inverse position i.e ETH *collateral* on Aave to swap for Lite’s LST collateral - which has the benefit of not being at 100% utilization on Aave
These are inverse positions essentially that get cancelled out
Polymarket's V2 exchange upgrades go live April 22nd. The upgraded exchange is now open to all for testing.
🚨 If you use our API or clients, there's migration work to do before then:
→ Upgrade your SDK/ API integration
→ New exchange contract addresses & order struct
→ Collateral moves to pUSD (wrap USDC.e via the Collateral Onramp)
We expect ~1 hour of downtime on April 22nd at ~11am UTC. Open limit orders will be cancelled during the switch. Funds and positions are safe.
Please note that the V1 exchange will stop working after the migration.
