RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)Timely Aave DAO vote to shut down three L2 deployments:1. zkSync2. Metis3. SoneiumDue to:- Low and persistent usage- No signs of organic growth- No credible short-term path to becoming meaningful contributors to the Aave ecosystemOuch https://t.co/h1wGT82hhe ...

RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)Deleted my earlier Aave x MegaETH post. It mentioned the 6% MEGA token allocation which was in the original proposal last year.The final vote has different terms:An option (2) with $2M/year revenue guarantee only. Or another with points.Option 2 won. No points, and no tokens. Just a $2M per year revenue floor for 5 years.But MegaETH has the sole discretion to give points or tokens if they wish to :)Notably, ACI abstained (accounting for 30% of all voting power). ...

Interestingly, I had launched tokens on Zora and other platforms as well and nobody noticed.Yet after launching on Clanker I got DMs, comments etc, showing that @clanker_worldhas actually a big user base.I will not trade that token or launch others on Clanker.Will keep that token as my sole token for Farcaster.Dumb name, but will do. ...

Farcaster doing $168M annualized in fees.Wait, what?It was supposed to be "sold", "shut" or dead??It's actually Clanker revenue that Farcaster acquired Clanker in October 2025.Clanker is a token launcher on Base that lets you deploy memecoins by tagging @clanker on Farcaster. Now all protocol fees go toward CLANKER buybacks.The interesting part: AI agents can launch or have tokens too.Austin Griffith (Ethereum Foundation dev, scaffold-eth creator) deployed an AI agent called clawd.atg.eth* @clawdbotatgCommu ...
