Main job: coding; side quest: playing DeFi. Focused on contract security and new pools—if a script can do it, I won’t do it manually.
For the past two days, I’ve been staring at the reserve reports for stablecoins for so long that my eyes are sore… Honestly, when it comes to de-pegging, it often isn’t that something big happens on-chain—people panic first, start a redemption run, and the more they run, the more it starts to look real.
As for transparency, it’s usually nobody’s business. But once there’s a fluctuation, everyone suddenly wants it to be “verifiable at any time.” Right now, whenever I come across a new pool, I’ll first check its asset composition and its redemption route. If it can be pulled via a script, I do i

Someone asked me whether those "coincidental transfers" on the blockchain are really just messing around. Honestly, I usually don't believe in coincidences. First, break down the path: the source of funds in the same block/nearby blocks, whether they come from the same batch of consolidated addresses, whether there are relay wallets deliberately splitting segments, and finally whether the destination is the same pool or the same set of contract calls. Connecting these together, many seemingly mystical things can be explained as "same person changing shells" or "bots running processes." Recentl

Traditional publicly listed companies “play” with BTC in their treasury operations—after redeeming convertible bonds, they still have to gradually realize proceeds; this whole process is even more complex than DeFi.

Cellular semiconductor manufacturer Sequans Communications (NYSE: SQNS) announced that it has raised funds by selling nearly 80% of its Bitcoin holdings, completing the full remaining convertible bond redemption related to its Bitcoin treasury. Currently, the company's convertible bond redemption has been fully completed, and the remaining 658 Bitcoins have been fully unpledged. Sequans stated that it plans to gradually "liquidate" the remaining Bitcoin over time but did not specify whether it will be sold directly, used as collateral, or employed in other on-chain strategies.

Summary of this round of decline: market rate hike expectations intensify, tensions between the US and Iran flare up again, and the crypto market continues to "bleed" internally, making it difficult to regain a bullish momentum.

Spot gold and silver decline, gold/silver prices drop below $4,400 and $73 respectively, stock futures and Japanese/Korean markets weaken, ETF continues to outflow. Waller appointed as Federal Reserve Chair, market predicts nearly 70% chance of another rate hike by 2026; tensions rise between the US, Iran, and the Middle East; Bankless founder Hoffman liquidates ETH but remains optimistic about ETH and Bankless; BTC spot trading volume plummeted 81% since October 2025, a clear bear market signal; crypto talent migrating to AI, open-source community monthly active users drop to about 23k, mainly losing newcomers and those involved in NFT/DeFi and other peripheral work.

I got “sandwiched” for the third time… I spotted an on-chain arbitrage path that looked “so juicy.” My hand was reaching in, and then I looked back—every last bit of slippage had been fed to other people as fees. Put plainly: you think you’re picking up money, but you’re really fighting faster bots for the same meal. If you’re even a half-step behind, you’re the one covering the transaction fees for them.
As for me, I’m not really chasing those pools with obvious, instant windfalls anymore. I’d rather make a bit less. In my scripts, I hardcode gas, slippage, and the order-cancellation conditio

These past few days, watching the options market, I finally understood: the buyer is actually racing against time, as each passing day’s time value is like paying rent—if the market doesn’t explode, it slowly gets eaten away; the seller, on the other hand, is collecting "rent" while risking a tail black swan, essentially hiding the liquidation risk somewhere unseen. I now prefer small positions as the buyer for insurance; if I really sell, I only dare to monitor margin with scripts—no reckless naked selling.

Recently, I saw someone again treating a few "coincidental transfers" as metaphysics. In fact, most can be broken down into paths: the same batch of funds looping through different pools, eventually converging to a place that's easier to exit or better for storage. To put it simply, don’t focus on individual transactions; first identify the entry address, the first-hop contract, and the commonly used routers, then trace how it swaps tokens, splits, and merges; many "coincidences" are just scripts running according to templates.
After a cross-chain bridge is hacked, there will suddenly be a b

Stop-loss really is like a breakup. If you keep dragging it out without clearing things up, in the end it only turns into a kind of reminder—even the interest/funding rate is telling you, “You’re still lying to yourself.” Right now I’m very mechanical about it: before entering, I first write down exactly where things can go wrong, and then I leave. Once a trigger is hit, I shut it down according to the script—don’t talk to the market about feelings.
Recently I’ve also been seeing news that some places are adding taxes and that compliance is tightening and loosening again. Once your expectation

Just now I was queuing in the mempool again, questioning my life… The moment you click send, you're just throwing the transaction into a pile of "pending" baskets. Miners/block producers look at who offers a more attractive fee and who is less likely to make mistakes. During congestion, it becomes even more obvious: the same transaction might be stuck for half a day, inserted ahead by someone paying a higher fee, or even if you change a nonce to speed it up, the previous one might not get into a block, causing everything behind to be stuck together; what's more annoying is that some contract c

This company bought HYPE for about $220 million, with unrealized gains now approaching $1 billion, even surpassing Michael Saylor's Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) in Bitcoin profit efficiency.
Currently, this topic is gradually spreading to the Chinese community. HYPE recently hit a new all-time high above $62, with a year-to-date increase of over 150%, making it one of the best-performing mainstream crypto assets this year.
As the only listed company proxy for HYPE, PURR has also gained over since the beginning of the year.
