Today is a tragedy, full stop. Every single Israeli life lost is a tragedy. Every single Palestinian life lost is a tragedy. Every life murdered is a crime. The end. instagram.com/p/DeNcNH0IwFS

One of our users did an awesome trade last week, replacing their Spark position with STRAT bonds. They made their ETH exposure unliquidatable, and increased capital efficiency by 78%.

⚠️SECURITY NOTICE⚠️ 🚨An active attack on Vercel-associated Nameservers has compromised a number of DeFi front-ends including origami[.]finance🚨 ‼️Do NOT access origami[.]finance until the situation is resolved.‼️ Smart contracts and funds in Origami vaults are not affected. Only the Origami website was redirected. All Origami vaults have been paused 🛑 out of an abundance of caution. 👉 If you connected a wallet or signed a transaction or message on origami[.]finance since 31 Oct, 00:00 UTC, immediately revoke any approvals you don't recognise using a token approval checker e.g. revoke[.]cash and move your funds to a fresh wallet if you signed anything unusual. We’re working with our DNS provider to investigate the root cause of the attack. We'll post an update on X when the Origami front-end is safe to use again.

Agent memory is too limited as a category. Memory is about retrieving facts. Or at most, superseding. We want agents to stop acting like junior employees who need hand-holding. We want them to understand context beyond the task, reason about trade-offs and goal hierarchies, and run autonomous cycles to deliver outcomes. But how do you call the thing that gives that? it's a graph and database to store the knowledge, a set of processes and ontologies to organize the knowledge, and an algorithm to compute over it. That's not a "Harnesses", those give you guardrails. We can work with many different harnesses and models. It's something else....

For every dollar of ETH you bond you get 1 CDT CDT LP is live and starts at $1 Free leverage for the first people to grab it
Permissionless Bonds are live! We just minted the first onchain convertible note, and now you can too! A new defi native primitive for yield or leverage. Leverage is very cheap for early bonders!

How about no? The Australian Government wants cryptocurrency exchanges to automatically report detailed customer transactions to the ATO, with provisions for international information sharing. I find the increasing centralisation of Australians’ financial information deeply concerning. Paying your lawful taxes is one thing, building increasingly comprehensive databases of citizens’ financial activities is quite another. It’s worth remember that desiring privacy is not evidence of criminality. Mass financial surveillance should never become normalised in Australia 🇦🇺

ETH Strategy is launching Permissionless Bonds on October 19th. Permissionless bonds allow anyone to bond dollars to ETH Strategy and receive a convertible note in return. What is a convertible note?
