Crypto market making is entering its "Evidence Era."📄 We’re excited to announce that Amber Group has joined
@Forgd_ to bring radical transparency to liquidity provision.
Choosing a market maker based on reputation and "vibe checks" are no longer acceptable for sophisticated projects. As markets mature, execution quality must be verifiable.🛡️
By joining Forgd, we’re making our historical market-making data accessible and standardized for the first time.
Why does this matter?
Most market makers look great during Launch Week. But what happens when volatility hits or trading normalizes?
Forgd’s platform allows projects to see our institutional-grade execution throughout the entire lifecycle of a token. 🏦
We’re also supporting Forgd’s new data-driven RFQ process. ⛓️
This levels the playing field for firms that price realistically and manage risk carefully, discouraging the "aggressive bidding" that hurts markets in the long run.
Transparency isn’t just a feature—it’s a commitment to market integrity. How are we raising the bar for our "One Amber" ecosystem?

To protect market integrity in our crypto up/down markets, we're updating how these markets resolve.
What's changing: Starting August 7th at 12 am UTC, affected markets will no longer resolve based on a single snapshot-in-time price. Instead, resolution will use a time-weighted average price (TWAP), with the averaging window scaled to the length of the market (detailed below).
Liquidity rewards: To support liquidity through this transition, we're adding $1M in liquidity rewards across all impacted markets through the month of August.
Market Details:
- All crypto 5 min markets: 30 second TWAP
- All crypto 15 min markets: 60 second TWAP
- All crypto 4 hour markets: 60 second TWAP
Developer access: Chainlink TWAP testnet feeds are available now. Mainnet feeds and Polymarket RTDS delivery are scheduled to launch on August 4, 2026. At launch, developers can consume TWAP prices directly through Chainlink Data Streams or through Polymarket’s public Real-Time Data Streaming WebSocket. Integration instructions, feed IDs, SDK examples, and testing guidance are available here:

About the “$光源 FDV by end of May 31st” market resolution and final settlement 👇
✦ What Happened
During the resolution process for the “$光源 FDV by end of May 31st” market on 42, we reviewed the $光源 trading activity and identified concerns regarding the integrity of the valuation snapshot.
During this review, we observed trading activity near the resolution window (June 1, 2026, 00:00:00 UTC) involving wallets:
✧ 0x7260...c45e ( (Buy orders: May 31, 2026, 23:58:36 UTC — 23:59:56 UTC; Sell orders: June 1, 2026, 00:01:23 UTC — 00:17:22 UTC)
✧ 0x7e03...d90c ( (Buy orders: May 31, 2026, 23:58:04 UTC — 23:59:56 UTC; Sell orders: June 1, 2026, 00:01:38 UTC — 00:17:22 UTC)
Our investigation suggests that these wallets are connected to a specific 42 wallet, the same address that subsequently became the primary holder of the $500K–$1M outcome:
✧ 0x3534...1792 (
Based on the information available to us, we concluded that this activity materially affected the valuation snapshot that would otherwise have been used for settlement, and did not reflect fair market conditions.
✦ Final Decision
Protecting users and maintaining market integrity are our highest priorities.
As stated in the 42 Terms of Use, prohibited conduct includes market manipulation, coordinated trading intended to artificially influence prices, and actions intended to influence real-world event outcomes for profit on related markets:
Consequently, following our review and the issues identified, we are excluding the impact of that activity from the final settlement.
As a result, the $光源 FDV market will resolve to: Below $500K.
✦ Community First
We appreciate the users who raised concerns and brought this issue to our attention.
The dispute mechanism exists to ensure that participants have a path to challenge outcomes when they believe a market does not reflect fair settlement.
We encourage users to continue raising concerns whenever they believe market integrity may be at risk.
Trade the flow. Settle on truth.

MemeCore Foundation Statement
US$10M+ Strategic Treasury Buyback Program
We are aware of the recent market volatility and the concerns raised by our community.
Following a comprehensive internal and on-chain review, we have not identified any confirmed issues within MemeCore.
Our review confirms:
- No issues affecting the protocol or infrastructure.
- All core systems continue to operate normally.
- No token sales were conducted by the MemeCore Foundation.
- No unusual activity has been identified regarding the Foundation's treasury or project operations.
Based on the information currently available, we cannot attribute the recent market movement to any specific source.
However, we observed that certain sell-side orders entered the market within a short period of time. Rather than being executed through normal limit-order trading, these orders were primarily executed as market orders, resulting in heightened short-term price volatility.
Strategic Treasury Buyback Program
Although this event was not caused by the MemeCore Foundation, we remain fully committed to the long-term sustainability of the MemeCore ecosystem.
Accordingly, the Foundation has approved a Strategic Treasury Buyback Program of at least US$10 million.
This initiative forms part of the Foundation's long-term Treasury Management and Ecosystem Support strategy and is intended to:
- Support the long-term sustainability of the MemeCore ecosystem
- Optimize the Foundation's treasury allocation
- Reinforce long-term ecosystem development
To preserve market integrity and minimize front-running or speculative trading, the Foundation will not disclose the timing, execution method, or schedule of the buyback.
The buyback may have already commenced or may be implemented progressively over time.
The Foundation reserves the right to adjust the execution pace, frequency, and amount of each transaction based on market conditions and treasury management considerations.
All repurchased tokens will be transferred to the Foundation's treasury wallet:

Looking Ahead
This event has only strengthened our commitment to building a more resilient MemeCore ecosystem.
In parallel, we are actively preparing additional strategic initiatives to further support the long-term growth of MemeCore.
Further updates will be shared through our official channels as appropriate.
We sincerely appreciate the continued trust and support of our community.
