@okutrade Most annoying? Getting drained. Mava widget hijack on 28 Sep stole 21k USDC from my account via a fake login prompt on your website. Hack confirmed but since then radio silence from Oku team. No compensation, no response. Anyone can give a better experience?
We just open sourced the UpRock Fuel engine for Android. Here's why it matters, and why we need @GooglePlay@GooglePlayBiz help. 🧵
Google flagged our Android app as malware (case 3-2652000041782). We believe it's the Fuel engine, the sandboxed runtime behind our distributed web research network.

For your agents: https://t.co/peao48pm9t
Building a consumer AI agent that everyone in the world can afford is really hard.
Agents are expensive. Every time an agent researches the web, compares prices or monitors a page, someone pays for the compute and the connection. That's why most consumer agents cost $30 to $1,000 a month. Most of the world can't pay that.
This is the power of a distributed network.
Our community knows what DePIN means. We've been upfront about it from day one. Distributed networks already power inference, compute and storage. We apply the same idea to agents: millions of real devices complete web tasks for each other, so your agent can work all night, crawling the web to find you a better price on those shoes or tracking whatever you care about.
You earn rewards for contributing. You spend them on an agent that works for you 24/7. That's how community-powered agentic AI becomes accessible worldwide.
Our mobile-first Fuel engine makes this safe.
When tasks run on devices owned by real people, safety has to be built in at every layer:
Signed: only UpRock can create a task, and every task is verified on the device before it runs. Anything unsigned or tampered with is rejected.
Sandboxed: tasks run in WebAssembly. They can't start processes, can't save files after they finish, and their network connections are blocked from your local network.
Encrypted: every task is encrypted and only delivered to the device assigned to run it. That protects users and the people whose tasks run on the network.
Readable: every task carries a manifest that says exactly what it is and what it's allowed to do.
And we didn't just describe it. We published the code, plus a list of what isn't enforced yet. No hiding.
Now, back to the hard part.
Google flagged our Android app as malware, and we believe Fuel is why. Play Protect is uninstalling UpRock from users who chose it, understand it, and have told us publicly they want it.
@google We build in public.
We livestream our work weekly: https://t.co/q3nlo3rZZi.
We've explained how the app works and how the network works, openly, for years:
https://t.co/lXntYQgibF
https://t.co/rTU7al9CvN
We're backed by Borderless Capital (lead), Draper Dragon, Animoca Brands and many more.
We went through the Google for Startups Cloud Program, where we walked Google through exactly how the app works.
We have zero incentive to ship anything malicious. Our whole business runs on user trust.
Apple asked us to remove the network contribution on iOS. We did, and we're live on the App Store with great ratings: https://t.co/mInStFyYGk
We'll do the same on Android.
@GooglePlay@GooglePlayBiz@Google We're still on appeal (case 3-2652000041782). Not a new appeal, just an update on what we've done. Our asks:
1. Let us resubmit without Fuel engine, the same way we did on iOS.
2. If Google still doesn't want us in the store, that's your call. But a store decision is different from labeling us malware and a "fake" app. Please remove the label.
That label is wrong, and you are seriously hurting a startup and a community of millions who chose us.
If there's anything you can do to escalate, we'd be grateful. 🙏🚀
@ranveerar89 Is anyone suing this guy or filing criminal charges? If so, please contact me. If he can run off with $30M without consequences, then please shut down RWA/DeFi altogether.
🚨 Altura / AVLT - User funds disappeared
Altura DeFi Ltd (UK 16838040, @ranveerar89@AlturaDeFi) told depositors ~£16.4M got stuck in a restricted bank account Aug 2026 and went silent since then. Return our money!
@actionfrauduk@NCA_UK@TheFCA
Our September campaign is live on @Layer3xyz.
2,000 USDC in rewards for completing quests and learning how 2Factor works.
Layer3 is the ideal partner to build this with.

@solanaidentity You did not fail, you tried and built something with ambition. The timing was just not right, that's something out of hands. Good luck for whatever comes next.
@SafePal Scammers mailed me a real-world phishing letter to my home with full order details - name, address, device model. Data I only gave to @SafePal. You deny any breach but cannot explain the leak. Filing a #GDPR Art. 15 SAR + DPA complaint for Art. 33 violations. #DataBreach
@DefiIgnas Why use perps on Solana? Exploits over and over, few assets to trade, Solana fees still too high bc of rent fee and delegation structure. I moved to hyperliquid a long time ago and it's way better than any Solana perp platform I had tried. Zeta markets, Drift, FT... just grim.
@alturax Why you guys are thankful for the update? We are obviously scammed. They withhold our funds, lock us up, don't communicate properly, and you still say "thank you"? Now even redemptions and on chain data is gone from Altura website. What else must happen to make you realize it?
@alturax They took our money, held us hostage, came with excuses and delays and now shut down Discord and Telegram. Does this look like professionals act?
@alturax Altura claims $33.3M in reserves backing $32.4M AVLT (102.67%), but a frozen £16.4M Revolut business account, locked community chats, & offline dashboards point to an exit scam.
@ranveerar89 Glad if everyone gets their funds back, but let's not rewrite history. The vault was effectively shut down overnight, withdrawals failed after the waiting period, users were locked for over a month, $AVLT depegged from panic selling, and $ALTU is gone. That's not a success story.
