The ONLY cheatsheet you'll need for building
This tweet has garnered nearly 250,000 views in less than 24 hours. Even with the lack of bullish price action, the builder scene in the Solana ecosystem is very much active!
Frontier now has over 9500 participants and this is in part due to the maturity of the tooling and resources from the Solana ecosystem:

$50m USD for 324 $AAVE ?!
A whale swapped $50M USD into ~36k worth of $AAVE.
This was not a smart contract exploit or a hack. It was an extreme case of a user error in DeFi
Let's examine the mechanics of how this happened and how to keep your bags safu💰💰💰.
Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.
Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.
The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.
The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.
Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.
We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.
The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.
6/7:
Third, recognise the limitations of routing. The transaction was actually executed through CoW swap (Dex Aggregator) which routes trades across multiple liquidity pools to secure the best average price.
However, aggregators cannot create liquidity out of thin air. Even the most sophisticated routing protocols cannot absorb a 50 million dollar market buy without causing catastrophic price impact across all available on-chain pools.
7/7:
DeFi offers unprecedented autonomy, but it demands an equal measure of responsibility. The infrastructure executes exactly as programmed, without the safety nets of traditional finance.
Prioritise capital preservation, understand the underlying mechanics of the protocols you use, and always verify before you sign.
Stay safu anon.
