ONGOING Open Source Phishing attack!!
There is a new scam running around.

You get a fake grants github tag by fake bot which says that it targets OS projects for a gitcoin grant.

They create a fake github account with a fake project and create issues (500 of them as of now)

The email is legit because it comes from github account as it's an issue reply.
And the email seems legit

The link in the email behind grants[.]github[.com] redirects you to a fake website:
github-fundation[.]com

The github account that created this is fake and just created

If you access that link, of course they try to make me connect a wallet

Please be aware and don't fall for any free money.

They target me because of Soldeer.

Please be aware and share for visibility. THERE ARE MANY ACCOUNTS AT RISK! I contacted @github but not sure when they respond.

I'd love to contribute. I built HaloFi to bring onchain savings for retail users on emergent markets. HaloFi Save focused specifically on African markets, where we had to work with slow internet connections, ux/ui/api

looking forward for #smartcon 2025 in NYC by @chainlink - Amazing speakers line up and topics

Hey fellow folks and founders

Quick research
how do you keep mentally centered and grounded with all the craziness of pushing something totally new?

Meditation? Exercise? Prayer? Friends? Family? Therapy? Other? 🤷‍♂️

Share below 👇👇👇 - researching for a friend 😅

#Wellness

@KyleSt4rgarden @jessepollak @mert @base Interested to learn more about the Solana mindset you mention in comparison to evm, specifically in relation to avoiding much global state usage.
I'm new to Solana, coming from evm L1/L2 background. Thanks in advance for your insights 😉

@Viraz04 @RachBLondon @deepcryptodive Epic learnings and memories

Magma residency was such a great experience and unique opportunity. 🤩🤩🤩

[Yoseph Ayele @yosephayele]

Exciting magma updates 🌋

magma1 highlights + magma2 applications are open 🔥

24 talented founders and builders joined magma1 to support each other, get expert mentorship, and coordinate to build Africa’s economy with Web3.

magma2 applications are open until 31 August!
Apply now to join this movement: https://t.co/roboR1giPm

Supporting the founders who are building the most promising DApps and protocols in Africa hasn’t been as important. Crypto has a clear product market fit in Africa, with a focus on utility for the masses. That’s why over a hundred million Africans are flocking to crypto.

So far it’s been a lot of repurposing and stitching together trading tools for real-world utility. There is now a generation of builders developing tailored solutions, redefining trust and finance in Africa.

The best applications for the fastest growing markets are just getting built! magma is serving as a coordination point for those builders.

A big shoutout to the magma1 founders and builders at the forefront of this work:
