The most successful MEV bot jaredfromsubway.eth was exploited in extremely sophisticated attack for $15M. Claude estimates lifetime $60-80M PnL so not the end of the world for the team behind it, they will be vary of these new attack vectors now for sure. Dark Forest comparison is very apt: "It’s no secret that the Ethereum blockchain is a highly adversarial environment. If a smart contract can be exploited for prof…

Engagement
17 posts held, back to 19 January 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 17 posts for this entry, the most recent from 21 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
20 reactions across 7 posts, in 9 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 20.0% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 7 of the 17 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 20reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 17 most recent posts we hold, published 19 January 2025 to 21 June 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

https://x.com/hyperliquidx/status/2054895699498619143 Native Markets (small hyperliquid native team) won the bid over giants like paxos, ethena, circle, tether scaled up USDH to 100M tvl and now sunsetting. Obviously I can’t know what happened, but I imagine Circle just saw that they would be eventually pushed out so Hyperliquid got a much better negotiation position and were able to dictate the terms for their partn…
https://x.com/kirbyongeo/status/2018228268890255647 Hyperliquid: 1) Eating crypto trading marketshare, prob will end up the only relevant crypto native exchange 2) Very successful permissionless equities product, pretty much the only one that matters, hip-3 silver did 1B volume last week, 2% of global volume at way above avg markup too 3) Prediction markets are obv the future, both Polymarket and Kalshi are not very…
tldr: Hyperliquid announced a validator vote to choose the owner of a USDH ticker which is, pretty much, worthless by itself. What is really being awarded here is a chance to align towards Hyperliquid success by gaining a nod of approval from the Hyperliquid validators (and thus, somehow, community around Hyperliquid as a whole). Turns out that costs a lot: Paxos, FRAX, Circle, Ethena are all offering 95%+ of the pot…

Recently Hyperliquid spot whale was doing 3 things at a very large scale ($1.5B BTC sold today I believe): 1) deposit BTC, sell it 2) buy spot ETH, withdraw and stake 3) long ETH perps Both BTC and ETH markets were not nearly liquid enough for that kind of orders so they both depegged for 1%+. Eventually, market adapted and slippages went lower and these huge TWAPs became the norm. People (me included) thought he was…

https://x.com/zachxbt/status/1836752923830702392 I heard a bunch about some 19yo kids stealing tons of crypto and spending it on mansions/supercars/free birkins until they were caught, but I never connected the arrest to ZachXBT, mostly just because I forgot about him. But the thread is crazy and interesting, highly recommend, Zach is a saint.
You might have not heard of it, but yesterday markets surged on a fake news of tarrifs postponement. SPY jumped +10%, that’s already trillions in paper market value. Fake news came via tweet from moderately popular free news aggregator https://x.com/DeItaone (Esp popular among crypto folks). And then White House denied it one hour later, everything dropped down only style back to the initial price. Lol. https://fo…

Showing the 12 most recent of 17 posts we hold for @cryptic_thoughts. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 125,955 of 1,602,868entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Forward network

Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
