1000 cool points for anyone who can find the Merge and Devcon stickers + 1000 cool points if you can name all the Ethereum mascots in there

Happy 11th, Ethereum!

@wordsgirljul maybe a bit for teenagers but my favourite series is The Secrets of Immortal Nicholas Flamel, which incorporates mythological creatures and gives historical figures a magical spin

Bear markets are tough

107 crypto projects shut down in 2026:
→ 34 died because nobody used them. Only 9 died from exploits.
→ July was the worst month: 24 shutdowns
→ 6 just deleted their account and vanished

Introducing Signal Lost, a collaborative effort to keep record of projects saying goodbye.

On ethereum:0xa0df17b5ac76ababa36e1450e2cbcd18a620c845

Seems as though you can add significant ETH backing, claim top spot and remove backing, yet retain the top spot fee % until the actual top spot resigns the tx (or someone deposits more than your current backing)

See here: fee share is 1, despite only 46 eth backing
