Monad Foundation completed a $60M liquidity program that gave early investors the option to sell locked $MON at a discount.
What caught my attention is that almost all eligible holders chose not to participate.
It doesn’t automatically mean they’re bullish, but it does suggest many early holders would rather keep their exposure than take the immediate liquidity.
Reports suggest around 2.8 $ONE reached exchange-linked addresses, although the exact amount sold or frozen is still being established.
Sadly, even as projects keep investing in security, this is a good reminder that crypto security should not only be about preventing an exploit. Project devs should also prepare for post-exploit measures.
Fast detection, real-time monitoring and exchange coordination can determine how much damage happens after an exploit.
The lesson for protocols: assume that once funds move, every minute matters.
$ETH roadmap is getting interesting beyond scaling.
The quantum-security push especially stands out ngl. Preparing for post-quantum signatures now makes sense, but larger signatures could increase calldata and verification costs.
The privacy and formal-verification work is just as important.
And native rollups could eventually move more verification into Ethereum itself instead of leaving every L2 to build its own stack.
Ethereum is not simply trying to get faster, it’s trying to make the base layer harder to break fam!
