On Radar: Nado - Kraken's Perp DEX on Ink L2 Nado is the perpetual DEX built by Kraken's core engineering team on Ink L2, bringing CEX-like performance to DeFi while keeping positions fully on-chain. Key Points: • NLP Vault - LPs deposit tokens into the NLP vault, which routes capital into market-making and liquidation strategies • CLOB DEX with 5-15ms execution - CEX-style matching engine, not AMM • Unified margin: spot, perps & lending in one account - capital efficiency like a prime brokerage • $INK airdrop confirmed - most allocation for Nado users - the single biggest confirmed airdrop farm on Ink With Kraken's Q1 2026 IPO narrative behind it and $INK TGE expected Q3-Q4 2026, Nado is one of the clearest airdrop plays in the current market and already top 5 in perp DEX revenue YTD.

MegaETH vs L2 giants - TGE is coming MegaETH's pre-market FDV already stands at $2.15B, ahead of Arbitrum ($1.25B), Starknet ($454M), ZKsync ($341M), and Linea ($237M) - a fresh L2 entrant priced above legacy rollups before even launching its token. The gap between MegaETH's FDV and TVL shows the market is pricing it on narrative and tech - not on-chain metrics yet. Once TGE lands, that gap needs to close fast. And the clock is ticking - MegaETH's flagship perp DEX Euphoria just announced its TGE date for next week. That's one of the 10 Mafia apps needed to trigger MegaETH's own TGE countdown.

Crypto Hacks Tier List (2023-2026) Over $8.1B stolen across 40+ major exploits in 4 years - from Bybit's $1.5B Lazarus heist to the latest $292M KelpDAO drain. Same vectors, bigger numbers each year. Drop in comments if we missed anyone notable 🤝 Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha| X | Aggregator

Aave lost $11B in TVL after $300M KelpDAO Hack Aave's TVL collapsed from $26B to $15B in a matter of days, a brutal $11B exodus triggered by the $292M KelpDAO bridge exploit. The hack created roughly $200M in bad debt across Aave's rsETH markets, pushing core pools to 100% utilization and leaving an estimated $5B stuck as whales raced to pull liquidity before the rsETH collateral could become insolvent. TVL that had peaked at $45B in September 2025 is now down 66% from ATH, marking the largest single-protocol liquidity drain since the Terra/Luna collapse in 2022.

FTX's $130BLost Fortune – Cursor, Anthropic and Robinhood sold at lows If FTX's bankruptcy lawyers had just HODL'd instead of liquidating at the bottom, the portfolio would've been worth $134B at all-time highs vs. the $4.9B they actually sold for. • Anthropic – $89.6B value (sold for $1.3B) • Solana – $17.1B value (sold for $2.93B) • Mysten Labs / Sui – $8.56B value (sold for $96M) • Robinhood – $8.4B value (sold for $605M) • Cursor – $2.5B value (sold for $200K) • Sequoia Capital – 500M value (sold for $45M) Some bets are still alive. After a Jan 2025 settlement, FTX retained its$700M stake in K5 Global - a VC fund holding positions in SpaceX ($1.75T IPO filing), Anduril ($60B), Boring Company, and xAI ($80B+). This is the one investment where patience might still pay off, if creditors ever see the upside. Top 7 Ecosystem:Alpha| X | Aggregator
