1) x402: HTTP (the Web) can now process Web-enabled payments, and so can your AI agents (and your agent's agents...)

👉The Internet's Missing Payment Layer, Erik Repel, author of the x402 protocol and Head of Engineering at @CoinbaseDev

2) FLUID a new DEX coming up to challenge Uniswap's leadership made it well into the top 5 according to @coingecko

👉How FLUID scaled lending to $5B in one year, Beeshal, Head of Growth at https://t.co/D9EoPOVOqK @0xfluid @jup_lend

And of course, the highly expected "DeFi Recap" to set the stage for the talks.

The Bybit hacker (Most likely N.K. ) is now the 14th largest ETH holder in the world

They hold roughly 0.42% of total supply, more than Fidelity, Vitalik, and 2x +what the Ethereum Foundation holds

[Blockscope @BlockscopeCo]

1/ Bybit Security Breach: $1.4+ Billion in Crypto Stolen

@Bybit_Official has detected unauthorized activity affecting its ETH cold wallet (0x1db92e2eebc8e0c075a02bea49a2935bcd2dfcf4), resulting in the theft of:
🔹 401,346.7688 ETH
🔹 8,000 mETH
🔹 90,375.5479 stETH
🔹 15,000 cms

💰 Estimated total loss: ~$1.4 Billion USD

A highly sophisticated exploit manipulated Bybit’s multi-sig signing interface, deceiving signers by displaying the correct address while secretly altering the underlying smart contract logic—ultimately granting the attacker control over the wallet.
