BTC is over $100K, and yet the spotlight is on crypto betting platforms—not real innovation.
We didn’t come this far just to gamble in a new currency.
Where are the builders? Where’s the next real wave?
This isn't the future we signed up for. 🤧🤧
Awakening is never just about one person. You’re the one clearing the path. And even if you don’t make it all the way to the end, your children will know—someone once walked this road.
You’re the first person in your family to open a candlestick chart. That means no one can teach you, and no one really understands you. When you lose money, they say they warned you. When you make money, they say your luck will run out sooner or later.
So why do you keep going
You’re the first in your family trying to turn knowledge into wealth. The first who doesn’t want to depend on others just to make a living. The first who dares to confront the rules of the world head-on.
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.
