Dawn wallet is being sunset and removed from the App Store on Sunday 7th December.
Please make sure you’ve extracted any private keys you have in the app before then.
Tom Waite retweeted
entire wallet industry in september: 41m users
world app in september: 11m users
do the math :)
The crypto market is big (and growing)
Crypto crossed $4 trillion in market cap this year — hitting new price and user all-time highs.
After a decade of building through cycles, crypto has become a meaningful part of the modern economy.
With a powerful feedback loop between prices, developers, and users, the industry is well positioned for the next wave of products and innovation.

🚨 TRUMP: I WILL ENSURE THAT THE FUTURE OF BITCOIN AND CRYPTO WILL REMAIN IN THE USA. I WILL SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO SELF CUSTODY. I WILL KEEP ELIZABETH WARREN AND HER GOONS AWAY FROM YOUR BITCOIN. I WILL NEVER ALLOW THE CREATION OF A CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY.

I wrote a blog post replying to Arnaud's blog post: tonk.substack.com/p/you-shou…
On how the internet has broken the trust infrastructure that we've relied on for millenia, and how new tools can usher in a web that’s more productive, more liberated and way more fun.
I wrote a blog post based on this talk: gestalt.cafe/trust-infrastru…
On Trust Infrastructure, building a permissionless but not trustless future, and zero-knowledge proofs.

The SEC going after the most legit crypto companies like @coinbase, @RobinhoodApp, @krakenfx, and @Uniswap is regulatory anarcho-tyranny: the worst actors are allowed to run wild, but the law-abiding are persecuted.
Like your broken-into car in SF getting a parking ticket.

The @CreditGuild v1 is now LIVE on @arbitrum
Lend USDC and WETH to earn GUILD rewards
Borrow against @pendle_fi @ether_fi @KelpDAO principal tokens, @Rocket_Pool rETH, ARB, wBTC, and more
Many more collateral and debt assets coming over the next weeks
The initial GUILD airdrop has been distributed to Volt Protocol users and @code4rena wardens who participated in securing the protocol
Stake first loss capital in the form of either GUILD or deposit receipts gWETH gUSDC to increase the debt ceiling of a given lending term (collateral asset/interest rate/borrow ratio) and earn a share of interest paid by borrowers
If you want to borrow but there isn’t capacity, let the stakers know in the borrow-requests channel on Discord (link in @CreditGuild bio), or tweet at the Credit Guild handle and it will share your request

1/ Today’s Wells notice against @Uniswap is disappointing, but is not unexpected from this SEC
It’s another abuse of power – unsurprising from an SEC that:
Last month, a federal judge ruled committed a "gross abuse of power" by lying in court about a crypto project
Tom Waite retweeted
Today @Uniswap Labs received a Wells notice from the SEC.
I’m not surprised. Just annoyed, disappointed, and ready to fight.
I am confident that the products we offer are legal and that our work is on the right side of history. But it’s been clear for a while that rather than working to create clear, informed rules, the SEC has decided to focus on attacking long-time good actors like Uniswap and Coinbase. All while letting bad actors like FTX slip by.
When I first set out to build Uniswap, the goal wasn’t to reimagine finance.
It was an experiment in radically decentralized, fully automated onchain markets. I didn’t know if it would work or if anyone would use it.
Fast forward to today, the Uniswap Protocol has processed over $2 trillion in volume. Many thousands of teams and developers have forked our code or built on top of it. We built entirely new financial infrastructure that is transparent, fair, secure, and accessible powering an entire industry.
The team at @Uniswap did all of this in the US from our office in New York City.
People often ask me why we stay in the US and my answer is simple: I believe that blockchain is incredibly powerful technology. Like the Internet, it’s here to stay. So someone needs to figure it out, and it might as well be us.
And that when you build technology that improves people’s lives – you don’t need to hide.
The @SEC’s mission is “protecting investors, maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitating capital formation.” This is a noble mission. I would argue @Uniswap does a far better job of this today than the SEC.
Yes, I'm frustrated that the SEC seems to be more concerned with protecting opaque systems than protecting consumers. And that we'll have to fight a US government agency to protect our company and our industry.
This fight will take years, may go all the way to the Supreme Court, and the future of financial technology and our industry hangs in the balance. If we stand together we can win.
I think freedom is worth fighting for. I think DeFi is worth fighting for.
And of course, we won’t stop shipping. Stay tuned
🦄💜
