Your phone number is now a single key that can unlock every Google account on your Android.
Google adds it by default. Once linked, the accounts are no longer fully separate - even if you never used the number on them.
For anyone who keeps a clean crypto account, a work account and a personal one, this creates an easy correlation point that is hard to reverse later.
The checklist shows how to stop new links and remove existing ones.
The real work is checking every account, not just turning the setting off.
Google may be linking your phone number to more accounts than you think.🚨
On Android, automatic phone number verification is enabled by default.
Google can add your number to every Google account signed in on your device, including accounts you wanted to keep separate.
How to turn it off:
1. Open Android Settings -> Google -> All services.
2. Go to Phone number verification.
3. Turn off automatic verification.
Already linked? Turning this off won't remove your number.
Check each Google account under Personal info -> Phone and remove it where needed.
Your phone number isn't made public, but your separate accounts may now share the same number.
Worth checking.
Some users report this setting turning itself back on after disabling it.
Save this checklist and check again from time to time, especially after Android updates.

Blast is shutting down. Withdraw any remaining funds by 26 October 2026.
The Blast team has decided to wind the network down because operating costs now exceed revenue and they see no path to long-term sustainability. The network will stop.
You have until 26 October 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface. After that date assets remain recoverable, but only by interacting directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum mainnet (the team has said they will publish instructions before the deadline).
What to do:👇
1. Check every address you used on Blast for leftover $ETH or other tokens. Even small amounts (a few dollars) are worth moving.
2. Look at any positions in pools or dApps that still have value.
3. Verify holdings on DeBank and on https://t.co/X4stqI9aRN (open your address and check the asset-tokens tab). Swap remaining tokens to ETH first if liquidity still exists, then bridge.
4. Use the official bridge only: https://t.co/JRv1PMHw4W
5. If you used the Blast PWA, check those balances as well.
Official reminder and details from Blast: https://t.co/qfGqEof7sD
Share this with anyone who has used Blast so they don’t leave money behind.
Reminder to withdraw your funds.
Withdrawal guide: https://t.co/6nsaAfZMNX
If you hold funds in the PWA, make sure to withdraw those funds too.
You can bridge your BLAST to ethereum mainnet on the official bridge UI at https://t.co/xLSpxUSPVs (CA 0x71b9e0FD392713A14FCaB92D9aF7A21F47E3b1Fa).
Privacy grew, but billions still struggle to reach DeFi yield without friction.
Real progress comes from bridges that disappear into wallets and aggregators. Users don’t need to care about the routing layer itself.
More integrations -> more volume -> more fees -> a chance the system actually funds itself.
Announcements are easy. Working capital and proven volume are the real tests.
What privacy-to-DeFi connection are you watching most closely right now?
1/9 🧵 Privacy ecosystem update
Crypto is finally turning greener, $CLONE is waking up, and @Bridgeless_com team is in Singapore for @token2049 discussing investors, integrations and Bridgeless’ next phase.
A quick recap of projects @whale_zone has been close to: $BRIDGE, $CLONE, $SWAP and zano:native. 👇
@TheApeAdvisorX IMHO not a myth, but far from solved.
0x already supports automatic retries on some cross-chain routes for example.
The real UX win is safe recovery without surprises, not forcing a bad fill just to avoid another click.
Valid point. "Invisible" only works if the failure state is also invisible to the user’s mental model.
When routing breaks mid-swap, users need to know what went wrong, where their funds are, and what happens next. Clear status, recovery options and no guessing.
A bridge isn't truly frictionless if users are left in the dark when something breaks.
Thank you to everyone who joined Off the Record in Singapore on Sunday.
A full table of founders, investors and builders, and an evening on private onchain finance. What was said stays there.
We could not seat everyone who asked, so Vol. 2 follows on Thursday 8 October: a private lunch, twelve seats, by approval.

Privacy is growing, but private assets are still mostly isolated.
The bigger opportunity is making them usable across DeFi without giving up the privacy that made them valuable in the first place.
That infrastructure layer matters.
Good luck to the @Bridgeless_com team in Singapore.
Why I'm in Singapore this week.
In a year the privacy sector grew 5X from $7B to $35B while the rest of the market fell about 30%.
Yet over $30B in privacy coins earns no yield, and only about 0.1% of DeFi is private.
Where this goes:
- Bitcoin that earns without being seen.
- Dollars that move in private.
- Privacy coins that go to work in DeFi.
It doesn't matter which privacy chain wins. The volume between it and the rest of the market needs a road. That road is what we build at @Bridgeless_com.
Tonight we host founders and investors. We have received overwhelming interest, so a second table follows on Thursday (https://t.co/R4lgenNdcD).
Token2049 week starts tomorrow.
@cj_fund This is where privacy gets much more interesting: not just holding private assets, but actually being able to use them across DeFi.
Good luck in Singapore. Big week ahead.
@DexiScan The bigger the piece of the puzzle (more wallets in the signal) the better.
But you still need more than one piece to see the full picture. Every piece has value. 🤝
This kind of signal is a real piece of a good trade.
Not the whole trade. One piece you actually want in the puzzle.
Two tracked wallets added the same side in 24h. $ENA about $473K long. $LIT about $393K long. Same direction, not one random wallet.
That is the useful part. A single whale screenshot is easy to dress up with a story. A small cluster on the same side is harder to ignore.
Still only one piece.
A trade that holds up usually needs more than flow:
1. your own reason to be in
2. where the idea is wrong
3. a size you can sit with
4. whether this is a new add, or a hedge
Do you count a signal at 2 wallets, or do you wait for 3?
The biggest accumulations are now on $LIT and $ENA. Those are exactly the coins we want to accumulate. So, a good signal for increasing our spot bags. If we go deeper, we're still not 100% allocated. Same as whales
@DexiScan Really nice work on this, mate. Seeing where multiple wallets are adding on the same side makes positioning much easier to read at a glance. Dexiscan keeps getting better 👏
@DexiScan When there is an opportunity and time, I always try to compare CoW Swap, 1inch and Matcha. The winner is not and cannot be the same every time, so it is good not to always rely on just one product and compare who gives a better price.
A better quote is not the same as a better fill.
Most aggregators compete on the price they show you before you click.
CoW Swap competes on what happens after you sign.
That gap is where MEV lives.
On a normal aggregator, your trade sits in the mempool. Bots can see it, sandwich it, and take the edge you thought you had.
On CoW Protocol you sign an intent. Solvers settle it for you. The order does not wait in public mempool to be hunted.
If opposing intents can be matched directly, solvers can avoid external pool liquidity for that part of the trade.
Solvers then compete across P2P matches and external liquidity. The auction selects the execution that best satisfies its objective - not simply the flashiest pre-trade quote.
I still check 1inch, Matcha and others. Sometimes they quote better.
I still default to CoW when size is large enough that execution quality matters more than a pretty number.
Save this if you keep losing edge on “good looking” swaps.
What do you check first: quoted price, or how the trade will settle?
Why I recommend using CoW Swap as a DEX aggregator:
- Most DEX aggregators optimise routing.
- CoW Swap optimises execution.
https://t.co/Ej7WMKLYIF
That is a big difference. Stop letting MEV bots "sandwich" your hard-earned gains. 🥪❌
CoW Protocol (Coincidence of Wants) batches signed orders into auctions where solvers compete to find the best settlement. Before tapping on-chain liquidity, they first try to match users directly.
Why that matters:
1. One of the strongest MEV protections in DeFi
CoW Swap is built to reduce exposure to MEV, especially sandwich attacks from bots trying to exploit transactions in the mempool.
2. Coincidence of Wants = direct peer-to-peer matching
When trades can be matched directly between users, you can get:
- lower slippage
- fewer LP fees
- better MEV resistance
3. Solver competition + surplus + combinatorial auctions
Multiple solvers compete to deliver the best execution for each batch.
That can mean:
- better settlement quality
- price improvement for users (surplus)
- more efficient use of liquidity across the whole batch
4. Gasless Intent-based execution
With many orders, fees can be paid in the token being sold, so users do not always need to worry about keeping extra ETH aside for gas.
5. Advanced order types
CoW Swap supports features like limit orders, TWAP, and programmatic orders, which makes it especially useful for larger trades where even small slippage or MEV can become expensive.
- Does CoW Swap always give the absolute best executed price?
Not necessarily. Sometimes 1inch or Matcha may quote better.
- But when it comes to execution quality, MEV protection, and fairer settlement, CoW Swap is one of the most compelling options on the market.
Stop being the liquidity for someone else’s bot. Start using a protocol that actually fights for your execution. 🐮

If you want to test the difference yourself, use the same flow I described above:
https://t.co/Ej7WMKLYIF
Before you click swap, check two things:
1. You are signing an intent, not broadcasting a raw swap into the public mempool
2. After settlement, compare the quoted amount with what you actually received
Small detail: this is a referral link. On CoW, both sides can earn $USDC at volume milestones. I am not hiding that.
Do one small swap and compare quoted price vs settled price. That single check teaches more than any thread.
@pinaleontas Exactly. If the reason for holding is gone, the position probably should be too.
I just prefer defining that reason before emotions get involved.
TP means take profit.
A screenshot of green PnL is not the same thing.
The photo feels like a win. The profit is still unrealised.
Worse: that image is a public note. It can reveal the exchange, position size, time, and sometimes clues about your device.
In a bull market the picture travels further than your plan. Then people hold, because the screenshot already felt like the exit.
A simple rule I use:
1. Write the exit before you enter.
2. Sell in pieces, not in one hero click.
3. Move funds you no longer need for trading to safer storage.
4. Do not post the number.
The flex is profit you actually realised and still control.
Not a green rectangle on X.
What is your take-profit rule this cycle?
Save this if you keep taking the photo instead of the profit.
