Multichain Was Supposed to Be the Future. So Why Does It Still Feel Like 2013?
Let me describe my Tuesday morning last week.
I needed to move some ETH to buy a token on Solana. So, I opened MetaMask, swapped to a bridge, waited 8 minutes, opened Phantom, realized I'd sent to the wrong network, went back, paid another gas fee, finally got it sorted.
Total time: 47 minutes. Total fees: more than I want to admit. And I've been in crypto for many years.
This is what "multichain" actually looks like for most people. Not seamless. Not exciting. Just friction, constantly.
@StationWallet is trying to fix this by doing something surprisingly simple, letting you just say what you want.
"Swap my ETH to USDC."
"Send 50 USDC to this address."
"What's my total portfolio worth right now?"
The AI agent figures out the rest. Routing, fees, chain selection, that's its job, not yours. You just review what it's proposing and hit approve.
One interface. 37 chains. No more tab-switching at 11pm.
Is it perfect? Probably not yet. But the direction is right. And the crypto wallet market is $15.5B in 2025 for a reason, people are looking for something better than what they have.
NFA. DYOR.

Somehow I don’t see that much negative sentiment from large rune holders this time around.
Everyone is calm.
The real impact isn’t mid.
TVL goes down a bit, but full range AMM design has failed and it ultimately doesn’t matter. Ruji was the ongoing solution.
Price is disconnected from the real market since it’s main market suspended from trading, but 80% of the liquidity is still there.
No direct material price impact on $rune since 20% corresponding to stolen assets will likely get burnt.
The entirety of the liquidity is largely socialized at this point, doesn’t have direct impact on one person.
We might see a few capitulate but it truly doesn’t feel any darker than other previous crises.
People who are praising Arbi for halting the chain and seizing assets are shitting on TC, they obv don’t want permissionless / censorship resistant DEFi.
I checked the latest swap activity from @vultisig wallets that didn’t use a referral code… And honestly, the result surprised me.
On just the visible swaps I checked, users could have saved around $555 if they had entered one simple code:
👉 ZENO
That’s not some tiny dust amount.
✅ That’s extra capital.
✅ That’s more trades.
✅ That’s gas fees covered.
✅ That’s money that could have stayed in their wallet instead of being lost to higher swap costs.
The crazy part? 🤔
It takes a few seconds to enter the code, but the savings can add up fast when volume grows. So next time you swap on @vultisig don’t leave money on the table.
Use code ZENO and swap smarter. 🤯
Gm $VULT
After a long period of silence, the ZENO referral code on @vultisig is back in action! Someone just used it and unlocked reduced wallet fees by 0.05 bp 📉
Glad to see more users saving on swaps while using one of the most secure wallets in crypto.
Want cheaper swaps too? 🤔
Settings → Referral Code → ZENO
That’s it - every swap gets cheaper 🫡
Anthropic’s Mythos leak is a wake-up call.
This model can:
- find zero-days
- chain exploits
- generate working PoCs in minutes
In the wrong hands, it’s a serious threat to both Web2 and Web3. Recent cases like the @KelpDAO exploit (~$293M) show how fragile bridge-based systems can be. With tools like Mythos, these attacks could scale faster than ever. Not all cross-chain designs are equal though.
Protocols like @THORChain take a different approach:
❌ no centralized bridge
✅ permissionless architecture
✅ secured by bonded nodes + TSS
✅ continuous validator rotation
This doesn’t mean “risk-free” but it significantly reduces typical bridge attack vectors.
2026 might be brutal 👀
eToro just agreed to acquire Zengo for ~$70M.
Self-custodial wallet. MPC tech. Cash deal.
TradFi paying $70 million to own an MPC wallet tells you exactly where custody is heading.
Combining swap aggregation from @RujiraNetwork and @THORChain could unlock massive efficiency and make us competitive with any cross-chain swap protocol 🏗️
We are super excited and are testing our swap router out in the wild. Things look very promising even with limited liquidity. It is very nice to see a 1000USDC->BTC is giving a better quote or at least on par with other bigger names🔥. Beta version is arriving very soon👀.
