Now I know Solana is favored for yields.
It feels like during this period, printing yields on stablecoins or blue chips is crucial to help secure the liquidity of the market.
Here’s an effective way to hunt for yields:
- Head to DeFiLlama
- Choose the Yields tab
- Filter for the destination chains (for example: Solana)
- Sort by TVL or APY (based on your preference)
A quick reminder is that you need to double-check the site before any deposits.
A much needed read for this phase.
The market is slow. Users are cautious. So what about KOLs?
Today, users care about proof:
+ On-chain data
+ Real P&L
+ Clear risk analysis
A post from a KOL opens the door. Before committing capital, users check volume and TVL on @DefiLlama or @tokenterminal.
Money flows to protocols with real fee revenue and transparent token models.
Therefore, KOLs who focus on education and practical strategy are building stronger, long-term communities.
The KelpDAO incident hit @LayerZero_Core harder than many expected.
After admitting a design flaw tied to nearly 300m USD in losses, partner confidence started to weaken. What seemed like one exploit quickly evolved into a broader trust issue.
Capital responded immediately.
Over 4B USD in assets have exited the network.
@Lombard_Finance is the most recent sign. They fully moved to @chainlink and publicly removed LayerZero to focus on security.
In crypto, trust shapes capital flows. Once shaken, the impact spreads fast.
After the 293m USD hack in April, everything changed for @KelpDAO.
A flaw in LayerZero’s architecture was exploited, and the damage hit hard.
From that moment, the trust equation shifted too.
Staying on the same bridge no longer made sense for a protocol that puts user funds first.
So KelpDAO made a bold call.
They are moving to Chainlink CCIP, a system built with layered security and independent validations, built to raise the bar for cross-chain safety.
To me, this move sounds like: survival is good, but rebuilding stronger is better.
