Getting a lot of inbounds from accounts that want to launch snipe-prevented. To make it easier, sign up on this Google Form - open to everyone: We'll run this completely for free - we just want to do our part in keeping value within the ecosystem.

High chance SA "hack" was an intentional rug masked as an exploit. SA had an upgradeable contract fully controlled by anons pointing to an unverified contract - classic setup for insider exploit. Disconnect Twitter + withdraw from SA wallet, their wallet safety also unknown.
I've looked at the exploit tx and UNVERIFIED @starsarenacom contract and as far as I understand this happend (might be totally wrong tho I'm a noobie):. They added a bunch of unnecessary function to the code that regular user will not ever touch and because the contract is not

In 2024, Hyperliquid is growing rapidly but there is no way to invest directly. Everyone knows HL will hit, but points are now uber-competitive. In order to gain exposure to HL beta, we decided to build positions in multiple HL spot alts over time. Though the correlation may.
How I missed investing in Uber and how it directly led me to one of my most incredible trades. This is actually one of the most memorable stories because its a lesson of turning a private market insight into a fully actionable public market short. In 2014 Uber was raising and.

Best signal for true adoption?. Users start spending days building infrastructure & tooling on top of an app - fully organically. We saw this with DeFiPulse/Llama for DeFi, RarityTools for NFTs, all the FriendTech tools, etc. This is PMF - Fantasy is the start of a new ecosystem.
I finished my first version of my data tool for @fantasy_top_. The priority was to get online as quickly as possible with some basic information. It basically took me 24 hours to get to this stage, so i would say not bad. It may be buggy and I still need

Welcome @Bassjackers to FriendTech!. First big DJ/Music artist to launch snipe-prevented. This time we helped the account sell into the sniper bots - allowing fans to buy lower. If you are running a sniper bot, we recommend not trying because that's how you blow up 7E again :)
@shill_ivey @DannyBeanstalk @cryptosfo @40cardfriedman @danielgothits @mevcollector @DinoLFG @eden_holdings Welcome @ysiu to FriendTech!. It's great to see some of the most well known people in the space like Yat launching snipe-prevented in order to circumvent value-extractive bots. We'll be open-sourcing the transfer/pre-sale proxy contract soon to allow for even fairer launches.

If you trade on any perp DEX, high chance that you are trading against liquidity bootstrapped through Elixir. We are excited to support Elixir's journey as they integrate and hypercharge all of the largest DEXs in the ecosystem. Liquidity is king.
Elixir has closed our Series B at an $800M valuation, with participation from Mysten Labs, Maelstrom, Manifold, Arthur Hayes, Amber Group, others. With this, the Elixir Apothecary is now live - users can claim welcome potions today ahead of mainnet โ๏ธ๐.

The million-dollar question:.Where should we deploy our assets to maximize rewards on Blast?. How you spend your time and resources can change whether you multiply your balances to simply collecting a paltry yield. The clear priorities are:.1. Maximize upside vs capital invested.
The Blast Mainnet is NOW LIVE. Early Access users can bridge to Mainnet and use Blast-native Dapps that donโt exist anywhere else๐

Love seeing two amazing teams building together to solve critical problems in our space. Better Web3 UX will bring the next delta of users and capital into crypto, and could be one of the catalysts to widespread adoption.
The ultimate UX partnership . We've teamed up with @privy_io to make web3 onboarding easier than ever!

Interesting thought. Keys are not transferrable, but we could build a smart contract that buys on account creation. Owner can "transfer" to other users, and the contract maps the shares from owner to new address. When user wants to sell, contract sells then gives user ETH.
@blknoiz06 @friendtech @ManifoldTrading @0xRacerAlt @Pancakesbrah Actually I guess manifold could just help the creator buy enough to then distribute the keys themselves to real fans if distributing keys was possible.

Really cool to see new products, infra, tooling being built out on top of FriendTech every day. Consumer app drives adoption --> consumers tell builders what infra they need --> new products attract more users and increase retention. Less $ being thrown at picks & shovels plays.
Just pushed out a few updates to the FT tool I'm building. 1) Now you can quickly see "noteworthy keyholders" for any account you're looking at.

It is correct that self-sniping only prevents frontrunning/bots for the account creators. We realized and communicated that this doesn't help users buying in after, because sniper bots will bid up the next ~X shares anyway. Regardless of the winner(s) of the following snipes,.
So what is the fairest way to launch a big FriendTech account?. With the current setup of FriendTech, fair launches have not been possible. Sniping & non-transferability of keys makes it difficult to onboard big users. Snipe-prevention/self-snipe was only the first step. We

One of the main reasons we never bought SA keys / shilled was smart contract riskz. They made contract seem like a straight fork of FriendTech with same ABI and function names. If so, why leave it unverified?. FriendTech at least had a clean base setup.
before getting on FT cat mev team dug into security of privy and FT smart contract, other than simswaps which is fixed now via changing login methods. the $ is pretty safe, dont know if app is successful or not in future, but imagine shilling something w unknown sc risks lmeow.

@iotex_io has demonstrated exceptional Q3 metrics: . 1,261% QoQ fee growth driven by IoID activations and DEX activity.13% increase in daily active wallets.Staking participation reached 41.3%. We believe the key to success in crypto lies in demonstrating sustainable growth, real.
Q3 was a breakout quarter for IoTeX. According to @MessariCryptoโs report, IoTeX crushed network metrics across the board, fueled by the launch of IoTeX 2.0. From surging transactions to record-breaking staking, hereโs why IoTeXโs growth matters for the entire DePIN sector. ๐งต

This is why Cardano security is quite underrated / bullish. If (hypothetically) there were smart contracts to hack on chain, users get auto-30 minute timelock to react, while hackers are limited to 3 TPS. Imagine not reshaping the fabrics of our society
ethereum smart contracts get hacked for millions on a bi-monthly basis & defi hacks total in the billions but their claim to fame for being worth 10x more than every other blockchain is that they are "more secure" bc they have 4,000 nodes globally in some AWS instances.
