Something refreshing is bubbling up…
We’re teaming up with @Jarritos, the original soda brand serving flavor since 1950, for a Telegram sticker collab that’s about to shake up your chats tomorrow!
Only 999 sticker packs will ever exist.

We stand with @signalapp and all who defend digital rights. Germany’s 🇩🇪 leadership on privacy has been crucial now is not the time to waver. The right to private communication isn’t negotiable.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.

Base is doing things the right way: an L2 on top of Ethereum, that uses its centralized features to provide stronger UX features, while still being tied into Ethereum's decentralized base layer for security.
Base does not have custody over your funds, they cannot steal funds or stop you from withdrawing funds (this is part of the L2beat stage 1 definition).
You can see Base's status as an L2 on l2beat: https://t.co/bBrvnbxSgD
I feel like many people have been confused by recent cynicism and think that things like L2beat are a weird sort of nerd-sharia compliance authority. This is NOT what is going on. The security that L2s provide, that L2beat measures, reflects concrete properties that protect you as a user from being rugged.
Here is an explanation of how, if an L2 shuts down, users are automatically able to withdraw funds even without that L2's involvement:

Here is an example of how L2s prevent the operator from censoring transactions, that happened on Soneium earlier this year:

This is what we mean when we say that L2s are non-custodial, they are extensions of ethereum, not glorified servers that happen to submit hashes. There are concrete pathways implemented in smart contract logic on Ethereum L1, that have been successfully used in the wild, that ensure that the L2 users' funds are ultimately controlled by L1, they cannot be stolen or blocked by the L2 operator.
🚨 I was just targeted in a sophisticated phishing attempt that almost got me.
But I got the scammer on a live call (video recording below), strung him along, and trolled him with Kim Jong Un gay porn while dissecting his $3k/month malware kit.
Buckle up, this gets wild. 🧵👇

Getting ahead of the fud before it festers...
The validator exit queue is going to jump up a lot in the coming days (it just jumped up by ~700,000 ETH) because @Kiln_finance has decided to voluntarily exit all of their ETH validators due to security concerns (that are specific to Kiln's setup - nothing to do with the Ethereum network itself).
For context: Kiln has a total of ~1.6 million ETH staked so we will be seeing at least this amount unstaked.
This ETH will presumably be restaked using new validator keys aka it's not going to be sold.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
if you held through this in April 2025, i want you to know that you are a mf’ing legend in my book
it was one of the darkest periods with the greatest psyops i’ve ever seen in Ethereum’s modern history
absolutely insane
don’t ever let anyone tell you that you got lucky
A lot of people are looking at the Chimpers momentum right now and wondering why.
The truth is we haven’t been pushing a hype event, we’re not making vague promises, and there’s no speculation driving this.
We’ve been building the foundations of the brand for two years.
- Becoming one of the most followed web3 IPs with 2M+ followers
- Selling out products with our major licensee
- Partnering with pop culture brands
- Exhibiting at major entertainment trade shows
- Collaborating across Web3 and expanding our onchain footprint
- Always putting the community first
Most of this has been overlooked because it wasn’t the kind of noise the market tends to value. But step by step, these moves compound and eventually, the signal gets too loud to ignore.
There’s a shift happening. People are starting to value tangible brand growth over hype, and they want to be part of the next breakout IP that isn’t just talking, but showing real proof of success.
Even in the slow times, when the market pushed for short term plays, we stayed committed to our mission of becoming the most loved chimp world.
We’re not slowing down and the next months will make Chimpers impossible to ignore.
