Public goods need public support, and rounds like the @thedaofund Ethereum Security QF on @Giveth matter more than most people realize!
A massive thank you to everyone who donated and to the matching-pool contributors: @thedaofund, @quantstamp, and @wintermute_t.
Funding neutral DeFi risk infrastructure like @defiscan_info is worth it!

The funds are meant to covering:
• Research (peer-reviewers and community review costs)
• Web hosting & data infrastructure (Alchemy + LLM costs)
• Socials / awareness efforts

Our goals:
1. Reaching 90% TVL coverage by Q3 2026 is on the way. We currently sit around 60% and will hopefully finish reviewing @eigencloud before tackling more.

2. Publishing a new framework by the end of the year, inspired by all the researchers and contributors @l2beat, @walletbeat, @anticapture, @encryptmempool, @_SEAL_Org, and many more, integrating elements like privacy, exit plans, formal verification...

Thank you again to every donor, liker, retweeter, and contributor who helps deliver free, verifiable, unbiased insights into the maturity and risks of DeFi protocols.

We're proud to join the new @encryptmempool Coalition!

We're pushing to integrate an EIP to encrypt the mempool in Ethereum's I* Hardfork - to stop toxic MEV & real-time censorship in a decentralized & credibly neutral way. Toxic MEV is adversarial and must be solved at a whole system scale!

Three protocols changed over the last two days:

- EtherFi paused bridging on several routes
- Compound upgraded two lending markets
