Skip Atwater ex CIA of Project Stargate. "I was standing behind an alien in a spacecraft & asked how they get to Alpha Centauri in seconds" 👽🛸 He told Shawn Ryan: “You just twist the Q… When the periodic table occurs in a different place, you’re at that place.” “You have to stop thinking about going that way for a long time very fast. It doesn’t work.” The Alien told him: “You shouldn't be here” Do you think Interstellar travel is possible? Have you ever had an encounter with an extraterrestrial?

April at Metis — Builder Mining Rewards is live. Top 5 projects driving on-chain activity: 🥇 Netswap @netswapofficial 🥈 Stargate @StargateFinance 🥉 FeedByHash @Feedbyhash 4️⃣ LayerZero @LayerZero_Core 5️⃣ Hercules @TheHerculesDEX Builders are showing up. The infrastructure is holding. That's the combination worth watching. 👉

ethena just pulled off the most aggressive stablecoin expansion in defi history. $700m of their own USDG deployed to solana specifically so users can borrow it, swap to USDe, and re-deposit at 12.5x leverage. USDe on solana went from $3.5m to $70m in 24 hours. both sides of the loop are issued by the same entity. stargate had to raise bridge limits to $30m/hour because demand broke the pipes. 36% APY on a stablecoin leverage loop where both tokens come from the same issuer running delta-hedged perp books. this is either the most elegant balance sheet play in crypto or the most circular liability structure since terra. no in between.

LayerZero can't be saved anymore? After the ~$300M rsETH exploit, @LayerZero_Core blamed its partners instead of owning it, and they felt the consequences immediately. @KelpDAO & @SolvProtocol have already left, both migrating to @Chainlink. Not only that, the projects below are currently pausing or reviewing their partnership with LayerZero: - Beefy, Ethena, BitGo, Lombard, and more on the way. The $ZRO damage chain is critical if you don't know: Partners leave → volume drops → Stargate revenue falls → $ZRO buyback slows → $ZRO loses its only growth engine. LayerZero did contribute 5,000 ETH to DeFi United and another 5,000 ETH into Aave liquidity, but the way they handled things only made people angrier. LayerZero's revenue will decrease, and in the current market, a revenue drop is never a good sign for price. If you're holding $ZRO, you need a clear-eyed risk assessment right now.
