I recently turned 33, and every year I want to go back to 21-year-old Patrick with a list of lessons.

If you're in your 20s, these are for you.

Most lessons only land after an ass-whooping. And even then, you usually miss them the first time.

A sad day for web3 security 💔

An important update from the C4 team. 🧵

@Fav_Truffle Nice 👏

Price and oracle manipulation has caused ~$702M in losses across 43 web3 incidents
59% of that hit lending protocols specifically

[Allez Labs @AllezLabs]

🚨 Earlier today, Venus Protocol's Core Pool on BNBChain was targeted by a supply cap manipulation attack.

$THE asset borrows & withdrawals have been paused. In an abundance of caution, markets with high liquidity concentration have also been paused: $BCH, $LTC, $UNI, $AAVE, $FIL, $TWT

Other Venus markets are unaffected and operating normally.

Here's what we know so far 🧵

[Sparrow @captsparrowjac]

2026 is only 10 weeks old and already has more incidents than any year on record at this point
24 incidents. $116M lost. We are not even in Q2
More incidents, lower losses. For now

@Al_Qa_qa I think human touch will always be needed
It will be drive costs down though

@mattgurbiel Makes sense
Do most DEXes even connect oracle choice to retention?
