Litecoin Summit 2026 was lit! 🔥
All corners of the Litecoin community came together in Amsterdam for a phenomenal event. Thank you to everyone who was there — the movement has never felt stronger.
It's official: QuickSwap will burn 20M $QUICK tokens from the Community Treasury.
The vote has passed, with nearly 100% of the dragon community voting 'Yes' on the latest governance proposal.
Burn baby, burn 🔥
I'm still in shock that LitVM LiteForge hit 100m transactions so quickly.
But it makes sense when I realize I'm taking calls and chatting with hundreds of teams building on testnet.
For example, there are 3 projects building Metaverse like engines in the Litecoin community to visualize Web3 and bring education to the masses.
Several are already testing on LitVM (LTC L2).
It's impossible to keep up with the innovation happening within the Litecoin Meta.
On this 4th of July I wish everyone in the world more freedom.
May the rebels continue winning against the empires.
Cypherpunks unite. Litecoin Meta!

I can't express how grateful I am to have David Schwartz and Shibtoshi as friends and allies.
Credit where credit is due.
They are upstanding pillars of strength. Genuine good people who have helped me make decisions that seemed impossible.
They gave me strength to fight when I was down.
I want to publicly thank them and all my decentralized freedom fam who have supported me throughout the years.
Litecoin Meta!
Why build a DAT (Digital Asset Treasury)?
Because markets move in cycles, narratives evolve, and trading activity changes. Protocols that rely only on emissions or short-term incentives often struggle to maintain momentum through different market conditions.
Having a treasury changes that.
A well-managed treasury gives a protocol the ability to preserve capital, generate revenue, support liquidity, fund growth initiatives, and build long-term resilience. It creates an additional layer of sustainability that can strengthen it beyond its core products.
This is the vision behind the QuickSwap Treasury.
And what makes the QuickSwap Treasury unique is its focus on productive capital.
QuickSwap deploys funds across diversified DeFi strategies that balance risk, liquidity, and yield generation. The goal is not necessarily to chase the highest returns available at any given moment, but to build a durable treasury that can consistently grow over time while maintaining strong liquidity reserves.
The results so far:
• Total Treasury Value: $3.87M
• Q2 Revenue Generated: $634,000
• Estimated Monthly Yield Generation: ~$3,500
The Treasury is still in its early stages, but it represents an important evolution in QuickSwap's long-term strategy.
As the portfolio grows, treasury-generated revenue can help strengthen the protocol across the board.
This is a reminder that Polygon zkEVM will sunset in ~2 weeks on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
Users are advised to withdraw all assets and LP positions from Polygon zkEVM by this date, otherwise funds will be lost.
Per the official announcement below, funds locked in DeFi protocols (i.e. QuickSwap) cannot be auto-migrated.
Only wallet-held funds that aren’t bridged before July 1 will be auto-migrated to Ethereum L1 and claimable through a dedicated interface.

Hot take: most DeFi UX improvements are just better packaging around bad architecture.
Faster UI on top of a public mempool is still a public mempool.
The problem is not the front-end. The problem is that bots can see your trade before it executes.
That is structural. You fix it at the infrastructure level or you do not fix it at all.
