I've called this centralized governance bullshit scam out many times, 5 years ago, 3 years ago, etc. > One man, Rune Christensen controls the system, interest, fees, voting, etc. There are ELEVEN addresses that accounted for 98% of the voting for the protocol change for an "executive vote" used USDC. Eleven addresses control the entire protocol and a protocol change was voted in just...what 24 hrs? And most of those addresses are probably owned by a handful of people.

The Aragon community overall voted for AGP42, but it was rejected with 69% of the vote because of one whale. > AGP37: 82% in favor of AGP37. 453k to 99k. But then the whale voted. So despite 83% of addresses voting in favor of AGP37, on the surface it appears to be a large defeat where 66% vote against. > AGP-35:: Here’s another case in point: Edgeware Lockdrop Proposal for Aragon..The 792k whale voted for this. Deduct the whale’s votes and you get 338k. Which means that this proposal was losing by about 15% at ~43% versus ~57% pre-whale. Then the vote went from losing decisively to winning by a massive landslide. So aside from the whale, the Aragon community voted against Edgeware lock drop participation https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/16qpy14/comment/k1zmjv5/
And a DAO would be a complete farce since Ripple controls the majority of the supply. It will just be like when Crypto Dot Com (which owns over 80% of validators) unilaterally minted 70B CRO tokens even though the entire community voted against that. The only reason banks even partnered with Ripple is because Ripple paid them to test their networks. None of them want to use XRPL because it's centrally controlled by Ripple and XRPL Foundation's permissioned dUNL validators. If they wanted to use a centralized network, they would rather pick one owned by trusted TradFi institutions.
tldr; XRP faces challenges due to its lack of smart contract capabilities and centralized control, which hinder its ability to support decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and broader blockchain adoption. While there are discussions about adding smart contracts via sidechains and creating a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) for governance, no concrete actions have been taken. Without addressing these issues, XRP risks losing relevance in the competitive cryptocurrency market. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Why is he selling low. Might as well just let it ride out. Who knows what can happen. Worst case scenario, it goes lower. But at this point, he's probably down like 90% anyway. The Marshall DAO is currently in development. Once they finished crossing their T's, it's gonna open a lot of doors for Moons. Things Reddit wasn't able to do with them before.
tldr; A dispute within the Aave ecosystem has escalated into a governance clash between Aave DAO and Aave Labs over control of CoW Swap fees, intellectual property, and brand assets. Concerns arose when swap fees were found flowing to Aave Labs instead of the DAO treasury. Governance proposals have called for transferring Aave's IP and brand assets to DAO control, sparking debates about decentralization and economic alignment. The conflict highlights tensions in DeFi governance and may set a precedent for balancing community authority with centralized execution. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Discord, X, Youtube. Plenty of ways the DAO could increase their reach and exposure for advertisers, and also increase the general community size. Eventually offer a bundle advertising option where an advertising campaign can run across multiple platforms.
The founder is throwing the DAO under the bus
This is a pretty cool community run DAO!
I agree with you, though I think of him as a balf faced scam king, not a wolf. A short history: In the early Ethereum days he lied to his colleagues about his academic background, acting has if he dropped out of PhD studies, when he actually had not even completed an undergrad degree. His Ethereum colleagues more or less say he was a habitual liar and want nothing to do with him. This is all well documented in Laura Shin's book, The Ethereans. He broke away from Ethereum and helped to launch "Ethereum Classic" after The DAO Hack. IMHO "Eth Classic" was never anything more than an opportunist money grab grift. It was hugely pumped and dumped early on, it then for many years before it was attacked and suffered multiple block re-orgs. In 2017/18 Charles jumped on the hot ICO bandwagon with ADA. The project raised over $60M. The market cap soared well into the double digit billions. Founders got 57% of the coins released. Another 11% went to "further development" through IOHK. So buyers actually owned less than 40% of the tokens and a bulk of the wealth accrued to you know who. With some of that money, Hoskinson donated several millions to Cornell with the condition that they name the math building the money was raised for after him. This way he can casually drop to future would-be investors that Cornell named a math building after him of course leaving out that it was simply a financial exchange and nothing to do with any kind of academic achievements. I lost track of his dealings after this point, but he has been snaking his way into Trumps crypto push in congress as they like to lay with their own kind.
Love the DAO and all the progress its been doing. 20% APY with just holding a highly deflationary token with constant buys and burns is insane Can't wait for the bridge that will make Arb One/Nova use seamless too
I think the DAO means that it's not gonna be exclusive to this sub or even just Reddit. Moons can become much more universal. Plus with the Marshall DAO it can turn into a self sustained economy with distribution and rewards coming from ads, sponsors, AMAs, etc... from any sub and any site.
What exactly will the DAO do? And what does 'powered by Moons' mean? Is it only about governance for this sub?
Definitely agree for the most part, but I’d say that this DAO has been going for ~2 years (after Reddit subset moons) and is an entirely community run project from this sub. The main goal is educating people on web3. In fact, none of the DAO officers even take a salary from the DAO. I recommend checking out the website and r/CryptoCurrencyMeta for more info
Not gonna lie, these DAO spotlights always sound promising but half of them end up being ghost towns after a few months
I had a conversation the other day with someone and was saying how moons laid the foundation for me across so many different web3 concepts. Airdrops / farming - most obvious way with posting & commenting Centralized Governance - monthly voting on Reddit Decentralized exchanges - Moons were only available on Sushiswap when they hit mainnet, so that's where I traded them DeFi (specifically LPs) - Sold some earned moons for ETH, then created LP positions on Sushi DeFi yield farming - LP positions got boosted yield in additional moons & sushi tokens for a period of time Decentralized governance & DAOs - CCMOON DAO after Reddit sunset moons We've also added lending with Teller, although I ventured into that area before we started on Teller. I'm probably forgetting a few more, but moons are really a great way for beginners to crypto to learn & then put into "risk-free" practice what they learn.
CCMOON DAO is the community-governed organization that manages the MOON token and the broader r/CryptoCurrency ecosystem. The DAO oversees governance, treasury management, advertising partnerships, moderation coordination, and contributor rewards, with decisions made transparently by MOON holders through onchain voting. Its mission is to sustainably fund and grow crypto-native communities while keeping control in the hands of the community itself.
I get the skepticism, and a lot of this critique is fair — especially around governance theater and the DAO/devco split. But I think the conclusion goes a step too far, and that’s why I still believe altseason happens next year. Altseasons have never been about “belief” or ideological purity. They’ve been about liquidity rotation. Every cycle, capital starts conservative (BTC), moves to ETH once risk appetite grows, and then inevitably spills into higher beta assets — not because they represent ownership, but because they offer asymmetric upside. Institutions don’t need to love altcoins to trade them. They don’t need governance to work or tokens to represent equity. They just need liquidity, volatility, narratives they can explain, and a market structure where BTC/ETH feel “done” for the cycle. That’s exactly when alts run. Retail isn’t “gone,” it’s dormant and capital-constrained. It always comes back late, chasing performance, not fundamentals. The buyer of altcoins has never been institutions seeking ownership — it’s been momentum traders, funds running relative value, and retail following price. Also, not all alts are governance theater anymore. A growing chunk are infra plays tied to usage (DA, oracles, L2s), revenue-sharing experiments (imperfect, but evolving), or pure beta vehicles for narratives (AI, RWAs, gaming, memecoins). None of those require clean ownership to outperform in a risk-on phase. You’re right that long-term, enforceable rights and cash flows matter. That’s the next evolution of crypto. But markets don’t wait for perfection — they front-run narratives and liquidity. Altseason doesn’t mean alts are “fixed.” It means risk appetite returns. And when BTC dominance rolls over and ETH momentum stalls, capital will look for the next place to express risk — flawed tokens and all. That’s why I don’t think altseason is dead. I think it’s just later, narrower, and more brutal than past cycles — and that points to next year, not never.

Contract Address- PwrwgEozK7RJNba6uQY81eoTBEmFhr6HhZE6aKbpump Right now Memecoins live on X, coins are going zero and cults last one hour tops. But crypto started on Reddit. Bitcoin was posted all over here, early cults like SPX6900 were born here as well. So why don’t we bring that back? That’s why we are creating r/officialmemecommunity — to gather and believe ### Reddit and Cryptocurrency: A Symbiotic Relationship and the Case for Reddit's Own Crypto Reddit, the self-proclaimed "front page of the internet," has long been a breeding ground for niche communities, viral memes, and grassroots movements. Since its founding in 2005, it has amassed over 430 million monthly active users, fostering discussions on everything from politics to pop culture. Among its most vibrant ecosystems is the world of cryptocurrency, where subreddits like r/Bitcoin, r/CryptoCurrency, and r/WallStreetBets have not only shaped public discourse but also influenced market dynamics. This interplay between Reddit and crypto highlights a unique synergy: Reddit's decentralized, user-driven model mirrors the ethos of blockchain technology. Yet, despite this alignment, Reddit has only dipped its toes into native cryptocurrency integration. In this exploration, we'll delve into Reddit's historical ties to crypto, its past experiments, and why the platform truly deserves its own cryptocurrency to empower its users, enhance community governance, and thrive in the Web3 era. Reddit's relationship with cryptocurrency began organically, long before the platform considered issuing its own tokens. The site's structure—divided into subreddits where users vote content up or down—naturally lent itself to crypto enthusiasts seeking unfiltered, pseudonymous discussions. r/Bitcoin, created in 2010, became one of the earliest hubs for Bitcoin advocates, attracting developers, miners, and investors to debate the merits of decentralized money. Here, users shared technical insights, price predictions, and philosophical rants against traditional finance, echoing Bitcoin's core principles of resistance to inflation and central control. As Bitcoin gained traction, Reddit amplified its visibility; early adopters used the platform to organize meetups, share wallets, and even coordinate charitable drives, like the infamous 2013 "Bitcoin Black Friday" promotions. By the mid-2010s, Reddit's influence on crypto markets became undeniable. Subreddits evolved into powerful echo chambers capable of moving billions in value. Take r/WallStreetBets (WSB), launched in 2012, which started as a forum for irreverent stock trading advice but pivoted heavily into crypto during the 2017 bull run. WSB's "diamond hands" mentality—holding assets through volatility—spilled over into crypto, fueling pumps in altcoins like Dogecoin. In 2021, WSB's coordinated push on GameStop stock (GME) sent shockwaves through Wall Street, proving Reddit's ability to democratize finance. This "Reddit effect" extended to crypto: Dogecoin surged over 20,000% that year, partly due to memes and endorsements on the platform, including from figures like Elon Musk. Even today, in 2025, subreddits like r/CryptoMarkets buzz with predictions for the next cycle, with users debating whether Bitcoin will hit $200,000 or if altcoins like Solana will dominate DeFi. Reddit's formal foray into cryptocurrency came in 2020 with the launch of Community Points, an Ethereum-based token system designed to reward user engagement. Under this initiative, two subreddits—r/CryptoCurrency and r/FortNiteBR—piloted tokens called MOON and BRICK, respectively. Users earned points for posting, commenting, and upvoting quality content, which could be redeemed for badges, emojis, or premium features. Stored in personal Ethereum wallets (dubbed "Vaults"), these tokens gave users true ownership, as Reddit couldn't revoke them. This was groundbreaking: it transformed passive participation into a tokenized economy, where contributions had tangible value. Gamers on r/FortNiteBR created over 3,800 wallets, outpacing crypto enthusiasts, showing broad appeal beyond niche audiences. Reddit aimed to expand this to more communities, burning a portion of tokens upon redemption to create scarcity and potentially drive value. However, the program faced hurdles. In 2023, Reddit discontinued Community Points citing scalability issues and regulatory uncertainties, migrating remaining tokens to Arbitrum for community management. Despite this, the experiment proved viable: MOON tokens traded on exchanges, with holders using them for governance votes in r/CryptoCurrency. Reddit pivoted to NFTs with Collectible Avatars in 2022, minted on Polygon, which sold millions and integrated blockchain without the volatility of full tokens. By 2025, Reddit's crypto involvement has shifted toward marketing and partnerships. Brands leverage subreddits for Web3 promotions, with strategies focusing on authentic engagement to build trust in blockchain communities. Discussions on X (formerly Twitter) highlight Reddit's role in crypto hype, from meme coins to quantum computing threats to Bitcoin. This history underscores why Reddit deserves its own cryptocurrency. First, it would align with the platform's core values of community ownership and decentralization. Reddit is already pseudo-decentralized: moderators run subreddits autonomously, and users govern through upvotes. A native token, say REDDIT or RDDT, could formalize this via DAO-like structures. Token holders could vote on site-wide policies, moderator elections, or feature rollouts, reducing reliance on centralized admins. This mirrors successful crypto projects like Decentraland or Uniswap, where governance tokens empower users. In an era of Big Tech dominance, a Reddit crypto would democratize the platform, preventing top-down decisions like the 2023 API changes that sparked protests. Second, a cryptocurrency would monetize user-generated content fairly. Reddit thrives on free labor—users create billions of posts annually, driving ad revenue that topped $800 million in 2023. Yet, creators get little in return beyond karma points. Tokens could reward quality contributions, similar to how Steemit or Hive pay posters in crypto. Imagine earning RDDT for insightful analyses on r/CryptoCurrency, redeemable for premium access, NFTs, or even fiat via exchanges. This incentivizes better content, reducing spam and echo chambers. For crypto specifically, it could fund educational initiatives or bounties for bug reports, fostering innovation. As one Reddit user pondered in 2025, if you had $100 to invest in crypto, diversifying into community-backed tokens like a hypothetical Reddit coin could yield real utility. Third, economic incentives would boost engagement and retention. Crypto's gamification—airdropped rewards, staking yields—could combat Reddit's churn. Users might stake tokens for boosted visibility or exclusive subreddits, creating a flywheel effect. This is especially relevant in 2025, amid a maturing crypto market with ETF approvals and institutional adoption. Reddit's vast user base (over 2 million in crypto subs alone) positions it to onboard masses into Web3 seamlessly. Unlike Facebook's failed Libra or Telegram's TON (halted by regulators), Reddit's token could start small, focused on utility rather than global currency, avoiding SEC scrutiny. As legal expert Preston Byrne noted, such tokens resemble loyalty points, not securities, if restricted to platform use. Critics argue crypto introduces volatility and scams, potentially alienating casual users. Reddit's past API backlash shows resistance to monetization shifts. However, with proper safeguards—like audited smart contracts and anti-bot measures—the benefits outweigh risks. In 2025, as Bitcoin hovers near all-time highs and altcoins recover, Reddit's absence from native crypto feels like a missed opportunity. Moreover, a Reddit crypto could drive social impact. Tokens could fund charitable causes, as seen in past Bitcoin donations, or support underrepresented creators. In biology or physics subreddits, tokens might reward peer-reviewed contributions, blending education with economics. Economically, it could value "mindshare"—the narrative power of communities—as one user suggested. In conclusion, Reddit and crypto are intertwined fates. From amplifying Bitcoin's early days to influencing market manias, Reddit has been crypto's megaphone. Its experiments with Community Points showed promise, and in 2025's evolving landscape, reviving or expanding a native token makes sense. Reddit deserves a crypto because it would reward its lifeblood—users—while embodying decentralization. It could transform Reddit from a forum into a thriving Web3 economy, where every upvote counts in tokens. As crypto matures, platforms ignoring this risk obsolescence. Reddit, with its rebellious spirit, should lead the charge. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

maybe Canton is a good project. But point of this post is - doesn't matter how good the project is. Token holders are not benefiting from the economic activity of the protocol. Devco/labs raise funds and sell equity to VCs. DAO raise their treasury through token sells. When company get acquired or makes gazzilion of $$ - token holders aren't benefiting. The only benefit is - attention. Hence - altcoins are all memecoins.
the problem - even if project is "strong" their coins worth nothing. Buybacks is not enough for the token to grow in value. Foundations and DAO can always turn off the fee switch. With current set up - token holders a royally screwed.
Moons are on the path to a resurgence. We just got 1. The DAO 2. Staking with Teller 3. Burns from high profile advertisers 4. Liquidity added with every advertiser purchase

These are good points, imo recovery will be similar to Mt gox. , low trust, extreme fear. There’s no telling where the price will bottom, which is exactly why Saylor is scared despite his diamond hand attestations, and should be considering mstr is leveraged. The alternate path, freezing old coins, would be better for price in the short term, but on this path, imo trust in the network is a risk. It’s the same complaint Maxis have had against Ethereum since the 2016 DAO attack. Allowing people to voluntarily move their coins into quantum proof wallets is much more in line with bitcoin ethos. Quantum is the last remaining obstacle for bitcoin, everybody knows it just not when. And yes, I believe everyone will rush back in after the dust settles.
Great, from the same creators of the DAO Legislation! And I think they not consider Worldcoin monthly rewards for unique humans identified as UBI too.
Post is by: Weird_Region6162 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pp5x4j/pyth_price_feeds/ Pyth Network is a leading first-party oracle, delivering institutional-grade price feeds to over 120 blockchains with sub-second updates (often 400ms or faster). Today's market volatility proves exactly why platforms and users need this level of speed and accuracy in price data during high-fluctuation periods. Pyth is building the Bloomberg equivalent for crypto—providing high-fidelity, first-party market data that powers the backend of 700+ dApps and protocols in DeFi, borrow/lend, RWAs, and more. With the ongoing RWA boom, reliable on-chain pricing has never been more critical. I'm extremely bullish on $PYTH because of their sustainable revenue model. The team just announced the PYTH Reserve, a mechanism where one-third of the DAO treasury balance (funded by revenue from Pyth Pro subscriptions, Pyth Core on-chain price feeds, Pyth Entropy randomness, and Pyth Express Relay) will be used for monthly open-market $PYTH buybacks.This creates a true flywheel: as adoption of these products grows, revenue scales → treasury grows → larger monthly buybacks. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

And where do you think our Moon DAO is... 😉
Aave’s founder is pushing a trillion dollar vision as DAO tensions highlight DeFi’s growing pains. With the SEC’s probe closed, governance challenges remain the key test for the master plan’s success.
Most people who buy BTC treat it as a speculative investment -- or an asset. I am not disagreeing there. But by technical merits it is a currency. It has a native unit of account, a settlement network, finality, etc... People do use BTC to pay for things as well. None of this should be controversial. The OP was talking about cryptocurrencies in general, and obviously something like Ethereum has more clear uses as a currency. For example, to send stable coins somewhere, you need to spend some ETH. To do a decentralized finance transaction, you need to pay ETH. To buy an NFT, you need to pay ETH. To participate in DAO governance for something on-chain, you are probably also spending ETH.

Pyth Network just dropped a game changer: The PYTH Reserve! Pyth Pro already collected over $1M ARR in its first month — institutions are paying big for millisecond real-time data across crypto and equities. Revenue from Pyth Pro, Core, and Entropy fuels monthly open-market PYTH buybacks (1/3 of DAO treasury each time). Real adoption → Real revenue → Real buy pressure → Sustainable value flywheel. Targeting a slice of the $50B institutional data market. This is how we all win. Bullish on [$PYTH](https://x.com/search?q=%24PYTH&src=cashtag_click). Pyth Pro (2025): Premium subscription service launched to provide institutions (off-chain) enterprise-grade, low-latency data feeds outside blockchains. Pyth Core (2021): Focused on on-chain DeFi/blockchain applications — over 2,000 price feeds across crypto, equities, ETFs, FX, and futures with ultra-low millisecond latency and real-time prices pulled directly into smart contracts. Pyth Entropy: On-chain secure randomness that helps solve blockchain's determinism problem, enabling truly fair and unpredictable on-chain outcomes. Pyth's product line continues to grow and the amassing funds only empower the $PYTH token even more. Can't wait to see what is to come for Pyth in 2026.  *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I said subs though, YouTube isn’t a subreddit. Reddit rewards some people but I don’t think it’s in every country and it’s not subreddit specific Sure it’s less than before but it’s still hundreds of dollars distributed a month. If you believe in the price going up eventually, then it’s thousands of dollars being distributed. Yeah the DAO gets hundreds of thousands of moons burnt, put in liquidity pools, etc. We’re a microcap with a constant stream of revenue, it’s a better investment than lots of useless L1s with massive inflation going straight in the pockets of VCs dumping on everyone else
Separating governance from consensus does not centralize control, it makes power explicit, bounded, auditable, and time-limited rather than informal and opaque. Permissionless systems routinely centralize in practice despite open admission, as Bitcoin and Ethereum demonstrate through mining pool concentration, validator cartels, and client monocultures. You are asserting that "Decentralization = permissionless". That is a your own philosophical definition, not an objective truth. Permissionlessness is one aspect to achieve decentralization, not the definition of it. Crypto did not discover decentralization. Distributed systems, economics, and political theory all treat decentralization as **multidimensional.** You're trying to collapse this multidimensional decentralized concept into one axis, "permissionlessness". That is rhetorically aggressive and intellectually weak. It is false historically, technically, and empirically. My claim is that Hedera is decentralized now, and that it will continue to become more decentralized into the future, with permissionless on that roadmap. Hedera's architecture and governance guarantees decentralization over time. Multidimensional. Permissionless is one of those dimensions that will be accomplished as Hedera scales. “A rotating, diverse council is still centralized” This confuses institutional authority with concentrated control. By this logic, any multi-party federation is centralized, any DAO with voting is centralized, any protocol with upgrade paths is centralized, etc. That definition collapses into absurdity, because every real system that evolves that way becomes “centralized” by definition. If that’s your own personal philosophy, that's fine, but then that means Bitcoin Core maintainers, Ethereum client teams, miners / validators signaling forks, etc are also centralized. You can’t have it both ways.
Yep, the official coin of this subreddit. Here is most of the info you may need https://rcryptocurrency.com/ - New Moons website with tons of info https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1TZVE_3DCbox2bfObBXvYcOZOMNw62l6bjZfGLD-g2rA/htmlview#gid=0 - Our advertising partners in the last couple of months since we started the new advertising program We distribute the funds into our DAO operated liquidity pool, burns, distributions, and stack USD in our treasury, which could be used for future yield generation, buybacks, or listings. Equal 4 way 25% split.
I've heard that the AMA-moons are going into the DAO now and you can stake your moons for interest :)
We are only getting the official DAO launched this end of year, we receive a 20% APY on Moons too, which can be borrowed against as well since last month. https://rcryptocurrency.com/ - New Moons website with tons of info https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1TZVE_3DCbox2bfObBXvYcOZOMNw62l6bjZfGLD-g2rA/htmlview#gid=0 - Our advertising partners in the last couple of months since we started the new advertising program We distribute the funds into our DAO operated liquidity pool, burns, distributions, and stack USD in our treasury, which could be used for future yield generation, buybacks, or listings.

All this was done in the last 2 months, too, with plenty going on behind the scenes and in the TG chat, Moons are far from done and buying more at this price is an absolute gift.

Post is by: Animalverse and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://animalverse.social/community/p/27121/ Pyth Network, a data protocol covering crypto and other asset classes, has launched a token buyback program as it looks to expand its revenue and support the value of its PYTH token. The buyback program — formally called the “PYTH Reserve” — uses network revenue to acquire tokens each month. Revenue flows into the Pyth DAO treasury, and “33% of the total treasury balance” will be used each month to purchase PYTH on the open market, Michael James, head of institutional business development at Douro Labs (Pyth developer) and a contributor to Pyth, told The Block. #Pyth #CoinGecko #Rollbit #Bonk #Raydium #Pumpfun #LayerZero #DAO #Crypto #Cryptocurrency #Animalverse *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The website you have posted was registered just 6 months ago: https://www.whois.com/whois/dagfamilyoffice.com At best they are an untested 3rd party, offering to be middlemen (for a fee of course) between you and assets that were literally designed to remove the need for middlemen... At worst they are just scammers with a nice website and will never give your assets to your beneficiaries. Why on Earth would you take that risk? You talked about having used DeFi apps before, so will clearly have enough ability to set up a multisig. Assuming your spouse is your intended beneficiary the most obvious arrangement would be a 2 of 4, so you link 4 wallets as signers for the multisig, and require at least 2 to take any action. You use a wallet on your phone as one signer and a wallet on another device (laptop/desktop/hardware wallet/Raspberry Pi, old mobile, etc) as a second signer. These are the two signers you use as 2 of 4 normally when at home. A 3rd signer is a wallet on your spouse's phone. When you are out together the 2 of 4 signiatures for the multisig are your phone and theirs. Getting them to sign transactions is a good way to get them experience and confidence with the process if they don't use crypto themselves, and will also make them familiar with what assets you hold and what dApps you use. A 4th signer, probably stored just on paper as a seed phrase or private key is kept in a safe place, such as with your solicitor, or a sibling or trusted friend, with instructions to give it to your spouse when you die. Or of course you can retrieve it and use it if 2 of the other signers are lost (e.g. you and your spouse both lose your phones or whatever). Multisigs are the way that pretty much every OG stores their wealth, and not just individuals, pretty much every DAO treasury with billions of dollars worth of crypto secures it with multisigs. Don't pay some random company to hold your money for you!
It really seems crazy to me how many people recommend (and presumably use) online portfolio trackers... has no one learned anything about how the internet works over the last decade? These platforms are inevitably going to be harvesting and selling data on your assets, linked to your IP address, which then gets combined by data brokers with all the other info that has been gathered up on you. We have known since the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2016 that 'manipulation as a service' companies use this data to build psycological profiles of users, specifically identifying emotional vulnerabilities and exploiting them for not just financial but political and geopolitical gain. So with that in mind... why on Earth would you voluntarily give them live data on your trading habits and which scams you fall for? If you want a portfolio tracker then pick one like Rotki, it runs locally (i.e. on your computer) and is open source, so completely privacy-friendly. Nothing gets sent to anyone else's servers, no one knows what you have. Rotki even lets you connect to your own nodes if you run them, so blockchain queries aren't being leaked to your RPC. I know this sounds like an advert, but my only association with Rotki is that I've used it for... well almost since it existed. The basic version is free but I pay for premium mostly just to support the devs. It was created by Lefteris, one of the real OGs, who was involved in rescuing funds from the original DAO hack. It's a tool like Safe Multisigs that I think most people who have been in the space a long time use, but because it doesn't have a token or pay influencers to promote I guess newbies don't hear about it.
The new pinned Moon DAO update is extremely bullish. Congrats to the community for continuing to build up our token so well. Soon we will have an official DAO, continued advertisers, deflationary tokenomics, and an ongoing non replicable use case. Receiving a constant 20% APY on Moons on Teller is just another huge plus for its holders

Today's Moon DAO update which is pinned on the main page is insanely bullish, can't wait for what is coming up!
The DAO launch, a new better website, Teller rewards still at a great 20% APY and ongoing advertiser support that keeps burning Moons sold cheaply on the market while still increasing our liquidity position and treasury. Moons are looking great, and the price action is not reflecting it yet, but the hard work will definitely be rewarded soon. The tokenomics we have are great, and the use cases are not replicable and completely unique. Thanks for the updates. It's all very appreciated!
Buybacks aren’t something the DAO can do. As a nonprofit organization, our treasury cannot use funds to intervene in the secondary market or take actions intended to influence the price of MOON. Our Constitution requires that treasury spending support operations, ecosystem development, and community services, not price activity. What we can do is continue growing utility and reducing supply through the systems the community has already approved. All advertising payments result in MOON burns, and revenue is allocated across burns, distribution, DAO-owned liquidity, and treasury growth. As advertising demand increases, more MOON is burned and more value flows into the ecosystem. Our focus is on building sustainable utility, partnerships, infrastructure, and liquidity, which are the levers a nonprofit DAO is actually allowed to operate. Market prices will go where they go, but our job is to strengthen the foundations of the MOON economy, not manage the price.
That depends on where you're looking. Ten years you say? Funny, that's how long it's taken one project to hypothethise a better system and implement it this past year with a new computer language. It's the only player in the AI space that is not a large language model or requires a GPU. They have patents and are implementing the next generation of governance where conversations scale beyond millions of individuals so everyone can have a voice. Gone are the days of weighted bias for today's DAO's where more money = more votes. Decentralized development is taking a leap at Tau.net.
New Rails spotlight on the main page, which paid us like $4k for 7 days. Not that much this time, but still we got some more Moons bought up and burned and money into the Moon DAO treasury, which could be used for listings, yield generation, and/or future buybacks.
Hello Reddit I’m the founder of Treasure DAO and a current developer as well. Our MAGIC token was a free mint fair launch project in 2021. We are listed on Binance, Coinbase, and other CEXes, currently building our dapps on Base. The Twitter algorithm has been very weird lately and creating echo chambers so I’m trying to reach new audiences on different forums. If you’re interested in autonomous AI, especially virtual companions, come check out our project and let’s figure out how to get involved with MAGIC.

You are bragging about $30k in DAO profit over several months as if it’s a massive achievement, but in the context of the "Top 300" projects you’re trying to compare yourself to, that number is statistically insignificant; established protocols generate that amount in fees in minutes, not months. Claiming $30k is "more value than most" is objectively false and shows a total lack of understanding of the market. You also claim "no one is looking to cash out," which is a direct contradiction of your own admission just minutes ago that you are "waiting for the market to recover to make money", that is the literal definition of waiting for exit liquidity.
Moons are working on building a strong treasury and DAO owned liquidity pools so the Moon distributions aren't the real focus rn. More info can be found here https://rcryptocurrency.com/ - Moons website with tons of info https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1TZVE_3DCbox2bfObBXvYcOZOMNw62l6bjZfGLD-g2rA/htmlview#gid=0 - Our advertising partners in the last couple of months since we started the new advertising program Polygon has been a fantastic partner in the meantime for sure.
We generate value, 30k of pure profit for the DAO since we started the new advertising system. That's more value generated than most of the top 300 coins can brag off. Also, no one is looking to cash out after his buy lol, this thing is going to multiple USD as supply shocks are bound to happen with 45M in max circulation and tons of constant buys & burns while also making our treasury larger and using it for listings/buybacks at the same time. The funny thing is even your every comment helps burn more moons as it shows activity on the sub which we use to charge all these top crypto companies that advertise on here.
This was the AI response I received when I was researching: Morpho Blue, the core of the Morpho lending protocol, operates through a single, immutable smart contract called Morpho.sol deployed on Ethereum-compatible blockchains. This contract serves as a permissionless primitive for creating and managing isolated lending markets without centralized governance intervention after deployment. All markets exist within this one contract, which optimizes gas efficiency and allows unified access to liquidity across markets.   Key Components and Architecture • Market Struct: Each lending market is represented by a lightweight data structure within the Morpho contract. It includes: • Total supply and borrow assets/shares. • Loan token (e.g., USDC or WETH, the asset being lent/borrowed). • Collateral token (e.g., wstETH, used to secure borrows). • Price oracle (custom, oracle-agnostic; e.g., Chainlink or Uniswap TWAP, returning prices scaled to 1e36). • Interest Rate Model (IRM, a governance-approved contract that calculates dynamic rates). • Liquidation Loan-to-Value (LLTV, a ratio like 0.86 for 86% max borrow against collateral value). • Fees and last update timestamp for interest accrual.Markets are isolated, meaning risks (e.g., bad debt) don’t spread between them, enhancing security.   • Position Struct: Tracks individual user positions per market, including supply shares (for lenders), borrow shares (for borrowers), and collateral amount (in assets, not shares).  • Governance and Immutability: The contract is immutable (~650 lines of code for auditability). A minimal governance module (e.g., via a DAO) approves new IRMs, LLTV options, and sets protocol fees (0-25% of interest), but cannot pause, modify, or delete existing markets. This reduces attack surfaces and ensures trustlessness.  
You're welcome, it's one of the tools (like Safe multisig wallets) that I think people who have been in crypto for a long time all use, but the newer entrants maybe don't know about. No token or paid influencer hype so how would you hear about it unless you ask, which in this case you did! The creator (u/lefterisjp), is one of the real Ethereum OGs. He was one of the people who helped save the funds stolen in the original DAO hack, and has been a vocal advocate for open source software and what you might call cypherpunk values for about a decade.
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum have experienced rollbacks, but they’re not comparable. Bitcoin’s rollback addressed a critical base-layer consensus bug, while Ethereum’s DAO rollback overrode flawed application-level contract logic.
An evolving blockchain capable of updating its code with every block, utilizing a logical AI (not machine learning) to determine consensus of user inputs. The next generation of DAO's is about to have a testnet at tau.net.
Grayscale filing for a Zcash ETF is pretty significant for privacy coins as a whole. It shows institutional interest in the privacy-focused sector that many thought would remain fringe due to regulatory concerns. Worth noting that while Zcash has pumped 1000%, this isn't solely due to the ETF filing - the rally started earlier with Zcash's halving in November and the ECC restructuring to a DAO model. The ETF filing is adding fuel to existing momentum. If approved, this would be the first privacy coin ETF in the US, which is surprising given the historical regulatory scrutiny on privacy coins. SEC hasn't been friendly to crypto in general, so

Supplying liquidity 2. USD into DAO treasury 3 Distributions 4. Burn Its all a 25% equal split, also you can borrow against Moons now on Teller or supply them for a 20% APY currently due to a Teller incentive program. For any more questions you can also use the r/Cryptocurrencymoons sub
Moons are getting that DAO now. So all the revenue from ads, AMAs, sponsors, etc... is gonna be distributed to users when it gets all setup. There was also a new payment system that started using Moons, and a new DEX to trade Moons. Not related to Moons directly, but Bricks is another Reddit crypto that's gonna get delisted and abandoned. So it's starting to look like Moons might end up eventually being the only Reddit crypto still standing and still supported and developed.
There are multiple ways to define "manual intervention", and it's important to distinguish between them. There was no manual intervention at the protocol level and no manual modification of the blockchain. The biggest example of this is the Ethereum DAO hack. They manually rolled back the blockchain to before the hack (some validators didn't, which is what led to Ethereum Classic). This did not happen with Cardano. The protocol itself automatically favored the healthy chain as validators upgraded their nodes (and so rejected the malformed transaction which caused the fork). Upgrading node software to fix a bug is always going to be a manual action. When most people hear "manual intervention" in regards to a situation like this, they're going to think of something like the DAO hack or Solana's various restarts where validators agree (offchain) on how far to roll back before restarting the network. It's disingenuous to liken that to what happened on Cardano, which is what you're doing. The only thing validators did was upgrade their node software. You're being intentionally pedantic about this, and it's dishonest.
Better times are ahead for Moons, no worries Just look at the treasury building up, our DAO owned liquidity and the burns https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1TZVE_3DCbox2bfObBXvYcOZOMNw62l6bjZfGLD-g2rA/htmlview#gid=0
tldr; Aztec Labs CEO Zac Williamson highlights the struggle of blockchain to maintain its original decentralized purpose amidst growing institutional adoption. He notes that early governance failures, like The DAO collapse, shifted focus from community coordination to financial use cases. Williamson emphasizes the importance of privacy technologies, such as zero-knowledge cryptography, to enable blockchain to serve both individuals and institutions without compromising user autonomy or becoming merely a financial settlement tool. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

For just holding Moons in doesn't matter. They work on both. I think it's for using all the features and utility of Moons, distribution, DAO, governance, etc... that you might have to have them on arb to be able to use all that? I'm not 100% sure.
> Is there anything that am I missing? Originally, the point was to respond to the problem of cross-trading hundreds of different altcoins. When this flood of tradable alts first happened, Coinbase and others were slow and careful, didn't list trading pairs for most alts. To fill the gap, new exchanges appeared, with hundreds of trading pairs for obscure alts. But those exchanges didn't have fiat banking - not possible to send dollar deposits or receive dollar withdrawals. Where does the trader park his trading balance at the end of the say while he's sleeping? Obviously, he converts all alts to Bitcoin, has a good night's sleep, and starts again in the morning Sometimes Bitcoin is volatile. And it's too inconvenient to move Bitcoin out to Coinbase, sell for USD, hold USD overnight, and then rebuy BTC the next day Along comes Tether to fill this gap. Don't convert all alts to BTC overnight, convert them to USDT, and sleep even more soundly knowing the same USD amount is waiting to be traded next day, without having to transfer in and out of Coinbase This is still the main purpose of stablecoins, but there are more and more people using them for international funds transfer - avoid the 3-day SWIFT delay > Tether seems completely centralized True, and in their greed, they're eagerly sucking up to authorities, very quick to block and seize funds supposedly marked as money laundering or sanctions evasion But a stablecoin doesn't have to be centralized. It could have its own blockchain, and a DAO with the authority to purchase Treasury bonds. All the stables are tokens on smartchains, but they're not all centralized > People bring their USD and deposit in a tether account and in return Tether gives you a token that is backed by the money they are holding Not really. Tether only sells wholesale, with a very high minimum purchase amount. Effectively, they only sell to exchanges. Retail customers buy USDT on an exchange, not from Tether. The same applies to redemption > how is that decentralized and out of the reach of banks or government? Even in this subreddit, there's a loud group who don't care about crypto being decentralized. Stablecoin adopters are choosing to avoid the perceived volatility of BTC. Most don't care about decentralization. A few are pro-centralization because they think regulatory compliance (censorship and surveillance) brings legitimacy The wheel hasn't turned yet. Few people have the sense to read back to what happened to e-Gold when regulatory compliance was belatedly imposed, jackboot style. The timing of that case coincided with the development of decentralized Bitcoin. Stablecoins are about 2 years away from the kind of regulatory capture which confiscates the coins of innocent users. Centralization always leads to arbitrary confiscation, some years after the launch of any innovative money system

In time, the DAO owned liquidity is gonna grow heavily and we are gonna have 6 figure daily volume levels again, don't need to sell soon so its all good
And that is why since 2 months ago we stopped burning everything and now supply the treasury and our own DAO liquidity with advertiser funds. It needs time to develop a bit though
every currency is a DAO. we're literally just choosing in real time which AI / hardcoded system we want to govern all of humanity by...the investment is just the vote...did people not get that yet ???!!!
This crash had nothing to with BTC. It was a USDX error that liquidated everyone with collateral leverage. Horrible, but not a BTC or ETH issue. What happened: • USDX, issued by Stable Labs, lost its $1.00 peg on November 6 2025 and fell as low as ~$0.30–$0.60.  • The drop came after a liquidity shock when a Balancer V2 vault exploit drained USDX/sUSDX-related funds.  • USDX was used as collateral in various DeFi lending protocols (e.g., Lista DAO, Euler) and abnormal borrowing rates (e.g., 800% + APY) were observed, indicating under-collateralized risk exposure.  • As USDX’s market value collapsed, many positions using USDX as collateral became under-collateralized and were automatically liquidated. Some protocols executed flash loans to liquidate millions of USDX and recover other assets (e.g., Lista DAO liquidated ~3.5 million USDX to recover ~2.9 million USD1).  ⸻ Why the liquidation cascade occurred: • A synthetic stablecoin design (USDX) depended on hedged positions and liquidity, not simply fully-backed fiat reserves. When liquidity evaporated, the peg broke.  • Because USDX was widely integrated into lending collateral, when its value dropped, that triggered cascading liquidations across protocols that accepted it as collateral. • Lending protocols reacted by dumping collateral (USDX) and seizing positions, which further depressed USDX’s value — a feedback loop. • The sudden loss of confidence led holders and protocols to withdraw or reduce exposure rapidly, accelerating the cascade.
That's an optimistic take, but the dwindling voting numbers are hardly a testament to the utility or engagement of MOONs. While the DAO is transparent in its mechanisms, transparency doesn't equate to value or usefulness. The key point remains that the vast majority of holders simply aren't engaging with the token's primary use case, governance voting, to any meaningful degree. Eleven votes out of a community of millions speaks volumes about how "essential" most people view that supposed utility. If the "use cases keep growing," why are they not compelling enough to even get 1% of the holders to vote on basic proposals? The drop in participation shows that for most, the token is effectively useless for its intended purpose.
If someone doesn't want to vote that's their issue. The DAO does everything in a super transparent way and the use cases keep growing along with our popularity with advertisers
Post is by: Mammoth-Eye-2173 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1oyx89g/crypto_coin_swell/ I'm always on the look out for cheap Cryptos with high probability of going up in the future and also was up in the past. Right now **SWELL** is still at a low buying price so my advice is to invest before the price jumps up. If you're new to the how to buy/sell crypto coin game, I would suggest using the coinbase app. They do have fees for buying and selling but worth it in my opinion in the grand scheme of things. They do have graphs and other useful information as well. Here is some info about SWELL if your interested: [https://www.swellnetwork.io/](https://www.swellnetwork.io/) Swell's mission is to deliver the world's best liquid staking and restaking experience, simplify access to DeFi, and secure the future of the Ethereum network . Swell Network is a non-custodial protocol that allows users to stake ETH and receive liquid tokens (swETH) that can be used across the DeFi ecosystem. Core components of Swell's mission * **Democratize access to staking:** Swell aims to make staking ETH accessible to everyone, regardless of the amount of ETH they hold or their technical expertise. Traditional staking on Ethereum typically requires users to lock up 32 ETH and have specific technical knowledge to run a validator. * **Provide a high-quality user experience:** The protocol strives to overcome the complexity and poor user experience often found in DeFi. It focuses on creating a simple and easy liquid staking process for all users. * **Embrace decentralization and innovation:** Swell is built on core values of decentralization and innovation. It uses new technologies, such as Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) and restaking protocols like EigenLayer, to enhance the security and integrity of the Ethereum network. * **Strengthen community governance:** The Swell Network is governed by the Swell Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), which is run by holders of the SWELL token. This allows the community to participate in major decisions, ensuring the protocol aligns with the collective interests of its members. * **Uphold a security-first approach:** Recognizing the inherent risks in DeFi, Swell prioritizes security.

True if they were a business rather than a foundation, but it's a governance & rewards token for the DAO/NNS. If they didn't decentralise and distribute rewards then keeping it a private business with fiat-only would've been the way to do it, then an eventual IPO & probable exit like every other tech company.
Monad has partnered with the CCMOON DAO for this announcement post & their subsequent AMA. If you have any questions, please view the DAO's transparency report
Interesting to see CCMOON DAO's progress. The growth in liquidity and integrations sounds promising. Eager to learn more about how it all works.
Having our official CCMOON DAO will be such a milestone eversince Reddit sunset.

This update highlights significant financial growth, key integrations, new sponsorships, and upcoming governance proposals that will shape the next phase of the DAO’s development. The DAO continues to progress toward formal legal registration through MIDAO, expanding partnerships, and strengthening DeFi use cases for Moons. In the weeks since the last update, we have seen strong revenue inflows, expanded liquidity positions, and new integrations that continue to bring real utility and value to the ecosystem. # 1. General Overview and Useful Links Moons on Arbitrum One are now being used more actively than ever before. With lending, trading, and DAO-owned liquidity positions all growing, Arbitrum One has become the center of onchain activity for Moon holders. Nearly half of all non-burned Moons are now productive in DeFi pools or DAO-managed liquidity, showing that the ecosystem is thriving with engaged users, integrations, and real usage.

Treasury Overview As of November 9, 2025, the DAO Treasury holds approximately $12,168 in non-Moon assets and 823,192 Moons. Moons decreased by 25,000, representing a transfer to the Community Currency App Bot to refill rewards for outstanding distributions. ETH remains unchanged in quantity but decreased in fiat value due to price movement. The DAO’s stablecoin holdings increased significantly as more sponsorship payments were received. Treasury Holdings: |Asset|Balance|Value (USD)| |:-|:-|:-| |Moons|823,192|$52,157| |ETH|0.83683|$2,998| |USDC|6,826|$6,826| |USDT|1,301|$1,301| |ARB|1,848|$556| |USDC.E (bridged)|487|$487| Non-Moon value: $12,168 Change since last update: +$3,417 Stablecoin value (USDC, USDT, USDC.E): $8,614 Change in stablecoins since last update: +$3,489 # 3. Burn Summary Arbitrum One: 1,038,094 Moons burned Arbitrum Nova: 3,189,800 Moons burned Total burned: 4,227,894 Moons Since the October 30 update: • Arbitrum Nova increased by 57,546 Moons (largely from Kraken’s burn event) • Arbitrum One increased by 117 Moons • Combined total increase: 57,663 Moons burned These burns highlight continued advertiser demand and the positive impact of large-scale partner events on Moon supply reduction. # 4. DAO-Owned Liquidity (DOL) The DAO now operates two Uniswap liquidity positions to improve balance and fee efficiency. First position (original pool, 0.05% fee tier): • Composition: 67,654 Moons and 960 USDC • Value: $5,455 • Total fees earned since last update: $134.37 • Breakdown: 1,081 Moons and 62.53 USDC collected • These fees will be redeployed into liquidity after collection Second position (new pool, 0.3% fee tier): • Composition: 2,379 Moons and 126.02 USDC • Value: $284.08 • Fees earned: $0.74 Combined DAO-owned liquidity value: $5,739.08 Change since last update: +$1,948 These two positions give the DAO flexibility to capture more trading volume during price swings and maintain deeper market presence without needing to sell Moons for rebalancing. # 5. Distribution Updates Polygon Labs has contributed $5,000 in POL tokens to the DAO, equivalent to 25,000 POL for distribution to subreddit users. For Moon Week 68, the DAO will distribute 6,820 Moons, reflecting cumulative revenue-based allocation since Epochs 67 and 68. The Community Currency App is now fully back online. Redundancies have been added to ensure users can always claim their rewards in the event of future outages. Since the last update on October 29, the DAO received $8,284 in new revenue from Kraken, Monad, [Rails.xyz](http://Rails.xyz), Quickswap, and ETH Strategy. Kraken’s payment was a pure burn, so the DAO will make up the equivalent amount by allocating future revenues to the Distribution, Treasury, and DAO-Owned Liquidity pools before resuming additional burns. # 6. Governance and Upcoming Proposals Two major proposals will go live this Moon Week: 1. Formalizing CCMOON DAO as a legal Marshall Islands non-profit DAO LLC through MIDAO. 2. Authorizing DAO officers to negotiate advertising partnerships with protocols, projects, or personalities that add utility and visibility to Moons. These votes mark key next steps for formal structure and operational autonomy within the DAO. # 7. Teller Integration and Moon Utility Moons are officially live on Teller, and users can now use their Moons as collateral to borrow USDC or deposit them to earn yield. Teller held an AMA on the subreddit to guide users through the process. This integration provides another major use case for Moons in DeFi. Teller’s initial incentive pool is paying a high APY for Moon deposits, funded directly by their treasury, though rewards will decrease over time as total deposits grow. # 8. Future Plans The DAO’s top priority remains completing legal registration with MIDAO as a Marshall Islands DAO LLC. This will formalize structure, provide legal protection, and enable direct contracting with partners. Other active initiatives include: • Continuing DeFi integrations like Teller and Uniswap liquidity expansion • Pursuing grants to support DEX integrations on [ccmoons.com](http://ccmoons.com) • Building faster bridge solutions between Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum One • Hosting recurring AMAs and live DAO updates across platforms to expand beyond Reddit That concludes the CCMOON DAO update for November 9, 2025. The next update will provide results from the Moon Week 68 governance votes, updated revenue totals, and any additional partnership or liquidity developments. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: waleosikominu and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1oson7c/visualizing_the_future_a_strategic_look_at_social/ The new visual teaser for Social Mining V2 is more than aesthetic—it’s a strategic evolution. DAO Labs’ iconic Social Lion, once a symbol of decentralized strength through interconnected hubs, now morphs into a more dynamic, layered representation. The updated design introduces deeper gradients and sharper geometric nodes, suggesting a shift toward complexity, scalability, and refined coordination. The color palette—cool blues and vibrant golds—evokes trust, innovation, and value creation. The interconnected hubs are more intricate, perhaps reflecting the growing sophistication of DAO-driven social economies. This isn’t just a logo refresh—it’s a visual thesis on the future of decentralized engagement. Social Mining V2 seems poised to redefine how communities contribute, earn, and evolve. The visual language hints at modularity, interoperability, and a more data-driven approach to social capital. It’s a bold step forward. Let’s unpack this together. What do you see in the new design? How does it align with your vision of the #DAOVERSE? Join the conversation. Shape the narrative. r/DAOLabs #SocialMiningV2 *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The DAO Labs Social Lion evolves beyond symbolism. Those networked nodes represent us—the contributors, creators, and connectors shaping decentralized social capital. The visual narrative speaks of unity in diversity: every hub distinct, yet harmonized through purpose. Color psychology matters here. The cool-to-warm transitions express both stability and creative ignition—the essence of a DAO that learns, grows, and rewards collective intelligence. Social Mining V2 redefines value creation. It’s not mining data—it’s mining meaning. Each connection fuels a more equitable Web3. This isn’t a brand refresh—it’s a vision rendered in pixels. A call to see ourselves reflected in the architecture of decentralized collaboration. So, how do you visualize Social Mining? What does this design spark in your mind?

The new Social Mining V2 visual marks a pivotal shift in how we interpret community contribution. The signature Social Lion—built from interconnected hubs—transforms from a static emblem into a dynamic system of collaboration. The color palette—cool blues and energetic gradients—reflects trust, innovation, and the continuous pulse of decentralized ecosystems. Each hub seems to radiate participation, symbolizing that mining social value is as critical as mining tokens. Social Mining V2 isn’t just a rebrand; it’s a visual manifesto.

tldr; DeFi protocols faced significant security challenges as $231 million was drained in recent exploits, with $19 million recovered. StakeWise DAO successfully clawed back funds from the Balancer V2 exploit using emergency governance tools, while Stream Finance suffered a $93 million loss due to an external fund manager's failure, causing its stablecoin xUSD to depeg. These incidents highlight the strengths and limitations of DeFi's defense mechanisms and the risks of hybrid CeDeFi structures relying on off-chain entities. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

I haven't trusted ethereum since the DAO debacle in 2016. First decade in crypto? And I know this hack is unrelated to ethereum itself... But it does rhyme. Maybe they can roll back the chain for them
Post is by: Mammoth-Eye-2173 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1on4jxr/crypto_coin_swell/ I'm always on the look out for cheap Cryptos with high probability of going up in the future and also was up in the past. Right now **SWELL** is still at a low buying price, it actually just dropped in price a few hours ago and it is prime time to pick so to speak, so my advice is to invest before the price jumps up. If you're new to the how to buy/sell crypto coin game, I would suggest using the coinbase app. They do have fees for buying and selling but worth it in my opinion in the grand scheme of things. They do have graphs and other useful information as well. Here is some info about SWELL if your interested: [https://www.swellnetwork.io/](https://www.swellnetwork.io/) Swell's mission is to deliver the world's best liquid staking and restaking experience, simplify access to DeFi, and secure the future of the Ethereum network . Swell Network is a non-custodial protocol that allows users to stake ETH and receive liquid tokens (swETH) that can be used across the DeFi ecosystem. Core components of Swell's mission * **Democratize access to staking:** Swell aims to make staking ETH accessible to everyone, regardless of the amount of ETH they hold or their technical expertise. Traditional staking on Ethereum typically requires users to lock up 32 ETH and have specific technical knowledge to run a validator. * **Provide a high-quality user experience:** The protocol strives to overcome the complexity and poor user experience often found in DeFi. It focuses on creating a simple and easy liquid staking process for all users. * **Embrace decentralization and innovation:** Swell is built on core values of decentralization and innovation. It uses new technologies, such as Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) and restaking protocols like EigenLayer, to enhance the security and integrity of the Ethereum network. * **Strengthen community governance:** The Swell Network is governed by the Swell Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), which is run by holders of the SWELL token. This allows the community to participate in major decisions, ensuring the protocol aligns with the collective interests of its members. * **Uphold a security-first approach:** Recognizing the inherent risks in DeFi, Swell prioritizes security. The protocol undergoes regular smart contract audits, offers bug bounty programs, and uses reputable node operators to protect user assets and the network. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: Glittering-Sky8008 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1omuq0v/opinions_on_toshi/ What’s the real sentiment on Toshi right now? Some believe it could skyrocket once Base gains wider adoption, since it’s considered the “face of Base” with tools for developers, NFToshis, and an active MEOW DAO community. Supporters point to its growing ecosystem and listings like Crypto.com as signs of long-term strength. Others argue it’s still just a meme coin—volatile, over-supplied, and driven by hype cycles. If Base adoption keeps growing and Toshi continues building real utility, we could see a major breakout. But if the hype fades or investor attention shifts, it might slowly decline instead *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Depends - Can you list Moons so we get a MOONvember? (I'd actually love to discuss a listing with you. I'm a mod of this sub and the Executive Director of the CCMOON DAO, which manages this sub. Moons are our governance token)
Good questions. All coins other than BTC are altcoins.. hwoever the modern day ETH is actually a fork of the original ETHEREUM which is today known as ETC or Ethereum Classic. The forked ETH was created when an exploit in the DAO occurred and votes were made on wether to roll the chain back or keep it as is. The ones who elected to keep it as is- created ETC. So its a funny thing, but the original unaltered ETHEREUM is actually ETC and yes it is an altcoin too.
Personally, I'd love for us to have our own DAO bridge. Allows moons, eth, and usdc and that's it. But we keep 100% of the fees from bridging instead of a 3rd party who will sell the moons they earn. We can use it to build a treasury or distribute back to users.
Correct on all your points. The collateral ratio is set to 550%, so it's very high. The borrow rate is also \~30%+, so the risk adjusted returns are there. There may be people who put moons elsewhere if/when rewards drop. But right now, the only way to earn moons onchain is through LPing, which has impermanent loss risk. We've added a lending protocol to give more uses. I see the function of the DAO & officers to provide options for the tokens and use available information to determine smart contract risk (like audits, longevity, etc), and then it's up to users to decide if they want to make their moons productive or if they are content simply holding.
You’re not wrong. The economics have been a mess ever since VeChain forced a change to the blockchain at the height of 2021, to reduce transaction costs by 100x. VTHO gas token has become abundantly plentiful and the reason for holding VET that generates said gas token less necessary. Only now, at the end of 2025, have they changed the tokenomics where only staked VET will earn VTHO going forward, curbing VTHO inflation. The question is whether it is too little too late. But I will add that this year has definitely been the most active year for VeChain. VeWorld is a good wallet, they have a DAO for X2Earn applications with a sustainability bent, and they are upgrading the blockchain tokenomics. Whether or not that’s reflected in token price or seen as a not dead coin, is up to the market and individuals to decide. There’s clearly a lot of baggage (no pun intended) from shady business in VeChains past that they might not overcome, especially when some of those individuals continue to persist within the organization. My two cents.
You can find this post in my profile too, reposting it because apparently cross linking subreddits is a nightmare here. Almost every indicator I look for a healthy project is present with Vechain. Just to name a few. \- Active, frequent community engagement on twitter(spaces), including Sunny who drops in sometimes. Anyone can ask questions as long as you keep it civil. \- Clear roadmap at the start of the year, keeping every deadline and delivering. \- You can tell from their github activity that they clearly increased the amount of developer working on the project. \- Vebetter DAO with ever increasing dApps. These dApps mostly using AI to fact check and there are many bad actors and there are dApps which let you earn actual money from just picking up your dog poop(which you should be doing anyway) and get rewards for it. There was a post where a user thanked the developers because this paid for their dog treatment. You can earn money from drying your cloths on the sun and not using a dryer. Taking photos of your reusable mug. There is many more what you may find fun but overall and what matters for many is money. Casually(!!) using the app can get you $$$ monthly, yes you saw that right. \- Veword wallet login for dApps that made by vechain. Kinda like how facebook, gmail login works but for dApps which streamlines and takes the pain out of login. \- DEX with liquidity that allows moderate swaps between coins. \- Credit card that supports B3TR(afaik its called Stella pay). Less step to spend your crypto. \- Credit card(s) that support VET/ VTHO. Revolute and more credit card will start support this chain after the 2025 Q4 Hayabusa update. \- Vechain going full decentralized by end of this year!!! Anyone can become a validator without KYC. \- Mentioned before, metamask support and every goodies that comes with having proper multichain DEX support. Metamask got a credit card too I believe. 2020 finally said hi to Vechain, better late than never. These are just the things I remember without thinking much about it. Price wise vechain doing dogshit and I'm not too worried about it. It will be bad when every coin goes up but vechain a.k.a not rising with the tide. This never happened so far. It will be bad if vechain is only rising with the tide and not gaining momentum. This never happened either. Whenever the bull market for alt started, Vechain was pulling ahead of others. Last bullrun Vechain went even lower than now. Bloodbath is a gentle word to describe how bad it was YET vechain ended up being top 15 on CMC after a crazy run. Not saying this is going to happen again, just saying its too early to worry about the price action.
Reddit has stopped issuing them but the mod team has taken control, we’ve established a DAO, restarted distribution, added uses cases like this one, etc. They are very much alive, and more decentralized than ever
I'd love to see how Moons will fare during the next bear market. I think they may actually have a chance to be one of the few alt coins that remains stable and doesn't crater. The growing utility, the way the new Marshall DAO can be used on any platform, the way it actually solve a problem of ads and revenue for social media, and the tokenomics. That could turn Moons into one of the few stable alt coins during the bear winter.
Reddit never pulled the plug on Moons. There was some major miscommunication when everyone thought Moons were "sunset". Reddit didn't discontinue them, they switched from admin run to community run. They didn't sunset the contract, they relinquished control, but allowed for communities to continue to use and run them themselves. Moons are now community run through governance, and soon through a DAO I think.
What COTI is doing here is compliant privacy. Selective disclosure means you can stay private while also playing nice with regulators. Instead of anonymizing everything, COTI builds privacy on a permissioned layer using zero-knowledge proofs. So you get confidentiality for payments, DeFi, or DAO stuff, but it’s still traceable if needed.
Everyone who has a vested interest, anyone who has enough money to move a chart. This could be anyone from a single individual, an organization, company, or even governments. There's entire private DAO's with insane capital moving through it.

Deposit your MOON here: [https://app.teller.org/arbitrum-one/earn/](https://app.teller.org/arbitrum-one/earn/) Read the full Teller blog: [https://blog.teller.org/earn-22-compounding-yield-on-moon/](https://blog.teller.org/earn-22-compounding-yield-on-moon/) # What this means for the community MOONs have officially joined Teller’s Arbitrum pools, which means: * You can now stake MOON to earn more MOON automatically * 22% APY per block, compounding continuously * Withdraw anytime — no lockups or hidden mechanics * No impermanent loss — single-asset lending, not a liquidity pool Teller is currently bootstrapping their Arbitrum launch with this 22% base incentive. As borrowing activity grows, APYs can rise even higher (up to \~60%), driven directly by borrower repayments. For context, Teller operates differently from traditional DeFi lending platforms. There are no price-based liquidations — loans roll over every 30 days, and lenders earn from interest and incentive rewards on a per-pool basis. # About Teller Teller has been gaining traction as a no-liquidation lending protocol live across multiple chains (Base, Polygon, Katana, Arbitrum, Ethereum). They previously hosted an AMA here in r/CryptoCurrency introducing their protocol — you can check it out for background: **Teller’s previous AMA:** [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1lip4c1/introducing\_teller\_earn\_30\_apy\_on\_bitcoin\_and/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/1lip4c1/introducing_teller_earn_30_apy_on_bitcoin_and/) # Teller AMA Tomorrow Teller will be hosting a new AMA tomorrow right here on r/CryptoCurrency to answer community questions about the MOON integration, their no-liquidation lending model, and how this fits into the broader DeFi ecosystem. If you’ve been looking for new productive use cases for MOON, or just want to earn yield without leaving Arbitrum, this is a great chance to learn more and ask questions directly. — Posted on behalf of CCMOON DAO *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
