Introducing our yield-donating vaults aka growth engines.

We're donating 50 ETH from @GolemFoundation’s side. Who else is going to step up and contribute? We've always walked the walk when it comes to important causes. @OctantApp is the best example of that. Time for others in our industry to step up too.

Regular reminder that AI is fully capable of regularly taking the crazy crown away from crypto for weeks at a time

Dear Crypto Community & Privacy Advocates, This is an urgent call: My trial begins July 14, and we’re facing a critical shortfall. I need to raise $500K in the next few days and $1.5M within a couple of weeks to sustain our fight - covering escalating legal fees, expert witnesses, and research as the case extends beyond the initial 2-week projection. My team is working nonstop to defend code as free speech, protect software development , and push back against government overreach that threatens us all. If you can help, please donate now - every contribution counts in this battle for our freedoms: This is urgent 🚨 Thank you. 🙏

It was pretty awesome to see 3 OG ETH builders win the top prizes in this last GIVbacks round for donating to support @rstormsf 1st @maraoz, founder of @OpenZeppelin & @decentraland took home 500k GIV 2nd @koeppelmann, founder of @gnosischain & @safe took home 150k GIV 3rd @julianzawist, founder of @golemproject & @OctantApp won 120,000 $GIV Gives me a lot of joy to celebrate their generosity and announce their wins!

Holding ETH ≠ Ethereum alignment. Real alignment means action. We’re solo-staking 100K ETH. We’re funding Ethereum public goods with the yield. We’re proving that sustainable ecosystem funding works. What are you doing to strengthen Ethereum’s core?

Octant explained

Nearly 2 years since @OctantApp launch. 3,136 validators running a solo-staking operation, generating over 5,682 ETH in rewards. Here's where that yield went: - 70+ public goods projects funded with 2,052 ETH - 1,190 ETH claimed by users in participation rewards - 215 ETH allocated to partner rounds via the Octant Community Fund - 420 ETH towards community activations - 1,750 ETH for operations, development & staking infra All from #Ethereum staking rewards. All without touching the 100,000 ETH principal. This is what sustainable public goods funding looks like - and it’s just the beginning. Octant v2 will scale this model across the entire Ethereum ecosystem, enabling other entities to create similar funding streams - not just through ETH staking, but also via DeFi strategies. From one foundation to dozens of Dragons. Yield in. Impact out.

I just spent 2 hours with a guy who sold multiple AI companies for $400M and built AI systems for the Pentagon. He broke down AI's current influence and future dangers in ways I'd never heard before. Here are the 8 most important things he told me:

Putin spoke about the state of the Russian economy with this face.
