Abstract the details of the Valar thing away - one obvious lesson is founders should be more discerning in giving out pro rata. Can't tell you the number of SAFE side letters we'd see at Carta with pro rata just tossed in and undiscussed!

Abstract's Dec. 15 shutdown could leave holders able to sign transactions without the services needed to move their assets. Migration requires a supported route and completed settlement; route-specific deadlines may come earlier. Analysis by @akibablade

Abstract to Shut Down on Dec. 15; Igloo Says It Lost Tens of Millions Over Two Years Abstract will shut down on December 15, 2026, citing high operating costs, limited liquidity, a restricted DeFi ecosystem and weaker market demand. Parent company Igloo said it lost tens of millions of dollars over the past two years keeping Abstract operating while searching for product-market fit and profitability. In July 2024, Igloo raised over $11 million in a Founders Fund-led round to establish Cube Labs and support Abstract’s development. Igloo will now refocus resources on Pudgy Penguins, Pudgy NFTs and PENGU.

Abstracts of UMC (2303 TT, UMC) Acceleration in PIC/TFLN（薄膜铌酸锂 Thin‑Film Lithium‑Niobate） 📈 Buy | TP lifted to NT$160 - PIC/TFLN upside unlocks a higher-margin cycle • High-margin PIC business acceleration mainly driven by:
– Hyperlight (could have made significant progress with Google)
– TeraHop (key customers: Nvidia, GOOG) • TFLN 8” Wafer shipment expectations:
– 20k wafers/month by 4Q27
– 40k wafers/month by 4Q28 • PIC economics far superior to corporate average with Gross margin >70%, ASP ~$2.5k per 8” wafer (vs Normal 8” ASP below $1k), Expected EPS contribution of NT$0.7 in 2027 and NT$1.5 in 2028 • That said, TFLN will help UMC shift its product mix toward higher-value AI segments (including optics) • Possibility remains open for UMC to extend its PIC wafer business into packaging over the mid/long term In addition to PIC/TFLN, • UTR expected to keep rising, driven by: AI (incl. optics), CIS / ISP
and DDIC (benefiting from Apple moving Mac from 8” to 55nm) • Although the market has less appetite for the price-hike theme, visibility has been extended to 2H27 • Intel collaboration: Management earlier reiterated the partnership remains on track Tape-out targeted for 2027 on Intel 12, and we now expect the Capacity to be more than one phase #UMC# #PIC# #SiPh# #TFLN# #NVDA# #CPO#
