Dear DeFi builders — please don’t approve tokens to unverified contracts.
RingSwap's underlying Few tokens are created and registered by the canonical Few Factory. Always resolve & verify the wrapper via the Factory before approving.
Officially verified address → docs.ring.exchange/
For RingSwap, all official Few tokens are created and registered through the Ring Few Factory. Token names alone should not be considered a source of truth. Only wrappers originating from the official Few Factory are recognized as canonical Few tokens in the Ring ecosystem.
Please double-check carefully before approving or integrating to ensure everything is safe. 🛡️
AI can write a DEX in an afternoon.
It can't conjure real deposits and liquidity.
Code is becoming a commodity. Anyone can fork a contract, spin up a front end, ship a token. What no model can generate is capital that chooses to stay: LPs who trust the contracts, depth that holds through volatile weeks, and a track record built block by block.
That's where the moat moves. Liquidity, execution quality, and trust compound. Code doesn't.
And the next wave of traders won't be people clicking buttons. AI agents will route orders onchain 24/7, and they won't care about branding. They'll go wherever the depth and execution are best.
That's why we keep building Ring. 💍
New essay out on the @multicoin blog, which is an evolution of our thinking on DeFi value capture
TLDR is in a world where software costs trend to zero, finance is one of the most obvious industries where moats will exist and DeFi is perfectly positioned

Indexes can pick and choose. Onchain can't.
Onchain, nobody gets delisted for holding BTC. Markets stay open 24/7, permissionless, for everyone.
Builders don't wait for gatekeepers. 🟠
BREAKING: MSCI has officially decided to remove Strategy from its global indexes.
Indices are supposed to be neutral. Bitcoin is being singled out. 👎

2018: "too late at $6K"
2022: "too late at $16K"
2026: "too late at $100K"
Same story every cycle. Meanwhile onchain BTC liquidity keeps deepening even in choppy weeks. Conviction wins. Builders don't wait.
Come to check WBTC/WETH on Ring, the depth is also great. 🟠 app.ring.exchange/#/swap
Bitcoin is going to $200,000.
Data says November midterm election panic is the best opportunity to buy BTC before the next parabolic move.
In 2018, it did not matter if you bought Bitcoin at $6,000 or $3,200. It hit $69,000 in the next three years.
In 2022, it did not make much difference if you bought at $21,000 or $16,000. It hit $126,000 in the next three years.
The same idea applies in 2026. Buying BTC at $75,000 or $65,000 will not make a difference when it hits $200,000.

ETH will capture value in the coming tokenization and AI supercycle.
We will wait!
INSIGHT: @VitalikButerin argues $ETH’s value comes from decentralization and censorship resistance, not fee burns, saying “we should not feel sad if fee burn is <10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.”

Agreed: daily burn shouldn’t be ETH’s valuation KPI. If the narrative shifts back to SoV + settlement base, the next fight is whether assets can be self-custodied safely and moved efficiently. That’s the layer Ring is building—pulling more assets into composable liquidity so a stable base actually gets used.
Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token".
Three primary reasons:
1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed
2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance.
3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS)
EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere.
The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

Always optimistic about our future🚀
My good friend Monte Carlo and I ran Bitcoin out to 2034. 5,000 times 🎲
Not one run ended below today's $80K.
The median finish: $1.48M 🚀
- - -
Each line on the chart is one run, and the pink curve on the right shows the final distribution in 2034. Even the bottom 5% finish around $464K, almost 6x from here.
He's very optimistic, and honestly so am I 😄

We’re sorry to see Blast announce that it will be winding down its network operations.
Ring Protocol has kept our services on Blast up and running through today. With the shutdown now announced, we encourage all users to withdraw their assets and liquidity positions from Blast ASAP.
Pls make sure to complete your withdrawal before the official deadline.
Blast will be shutting down.
We launched Blast with the goal of building a self-sustaining chain for users and developers. Unfortunately, the economics of operating the chain no longer make sense: the ongoing costs of maintaining Blast exceed the revenue generated by the L2, and we do not see a credible path to making the chain economically sustainable.
As a result, we've made the difficult decision to wind Blast down.
We're sorry to the users and developers who believed in Blast, built on it, and supported the ecosystem. Our priority now is making the shutdown as smooth and safe as possible.
We're asking all users to withdraw their assets from Blast to Ethereum mainnet, including any balances held in the Blast PWA.
To make this easier, we will be reducing the withdrawal delay to 24 hours.
As part of the shutdown process, we'll first begin withdrawing Blast's Lido assets. This process is expected to take approximately one week. During this period, withdrawals will temporarily be unavailable, even after the withdrawal delay is reduced to 24 hours.
Once that process is complete, withdrawals will resume with the new 24-hour delay.
Users will have until October 26, 2026 to withdraw through the normal Blast interface.
After October 26, assets will remain withdrawable, but users will need to interact directly with the Blast bridge contracts on Ethereum L1. We'll publish detailed instructions before then.
We strongly encourage everyone to withdraw their assets to Ethereum mainnet before October 26.

Tokenized stocks are just getting started.
AMMs are becoming part of the new market structure, and the next era of liquidity will be onchain. 💍
🚨 TODAY: The SEC issued an order granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to Tokenized Securities Venues from the definition of “exchange” in the Exchange Act to trade tokenized NMS stock using innovative permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.

The data speaks for itself: $1.16B of ETH accumulated in just 15 days, with no net selling since mid-August. Institutional conviction remains strong.
Bullish on ETH. 🚀
