We got an important step closer towards unified liquidity between L2s and Ethereum via @etheconomiczone. Here is a @CoWSwap trade settled on L2 while using liquidity from L1. Bridging tokens out and receiving other tokens back all happens atomically! Public testnet soon!

S&P GLOBAL ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE OPENZEPPELIN: PRN

Calling all crypto twitter. I'm proud to announce that Jacob Horne @js_horne has joined Polymarket. He will be working closely with me on product, in particular making Polymarket DeFi great again. Jacob is amongst the best product and innovation minds in crypto. Before this, he was CEO of Zora. He built multiple beautiful products (I was one of the first users of the first version in 2020). Now he's got the PMF and distribution of Polymarket. I'm so excited to work with him. We'll be hosting a Polymarket DeFi town hall soon to hear from our longtime users and lay out the plan to make the Polymarket DeFi product the best it’s ever been. In the meantime, DM your feedback to @js_horne or me and we'll action it. To the DeFi community, we know the performance of the onchain product has waned as we've scaled, and it hurts us to hear the frustration of the people who love Polymarket and have supported us for so long thinking we’ve pivoted all focus to US, but just know we're working behind the scenes to unify the products and make Polymarket better than ever, across all surface areas.

Most people looking at @BundleCatAI / @Moshdottrade are focused on one thing: the Liquidity Swarm. But I think there's a more interesting experiment hiding underneath Mosh's market-making infrastructure. What happens when a memecoin's trading fees start financing an autonomous investment fund? That's the idea behind Agentic Liquid Funds (ALF), and it could become an important part of Mosh's broader economic model. Let me explain. --- ➠ First, follow the money. Remember how Mosh works? Instead of allowing bundlers to accumulate a massive token allocation and dump it whenever they please, Mosh commits that inventory to vaults managed by AI agents. For $BUN, roughly 71.4% of supply sits in the Liquidity Swarm. The agents use that inventory to buy, sell and manage liquidity around the existing AMM. Funders sacrifice access to their original capital in exchange for trading-fee income. But here's what makes BUN different. The team funded BUN's opening bundle themselves. According to @justinbebis, the initial raise was 8 ETH, with 4 ETH used to purchase the opening bundle. The team reported recovering its funding through fees within the first minute and the team claim they've now earned approximately 10× their bundle investment in fees. Instead of holding a large, freely withdrawable token allocation, the team receives income linked to BUN's trading activity. The longer the market stays active, the more fees the bundle can potentially generate. And that brings us to ALF. --- ➠ The second engine: Agentic Liquid Funds Mosh doesn't intend to let all that fee income sit idle. The team's proposed next step is to use eligible bundle revenue to fund a different class of financial agents. Think of it as giving an AI trading desk its own investment budget, financed by the trading fees generated through Mosh. The intended mechanism is straightforward: BUN trading → bundle fees → ALF capital → autonomous trading → ecosystem investment There are now two distinct engines. - The Liquidity Swarm manages a token's market using inventory committed during its launch. - ALF would manage capital generated from fee income, potentially trading BUN and other Mosh-aligned assets. Team has described the idea as extending buyback tokenomics with an active trader attached. An ALF introduces discretion through an automated strategy. It could theoretically accumulate during heavy selling, preserve $ETH when conditions are unfavorable, or deploy capital across several eligible tokens. And unlike burned tokens, assets purchased by a fund can potentially be sold again. ALF is not automatically a buyback-and-burn mechanism. It's an attempt to make fee-generated capital productive. -- ➠ The overlooked BUN connection Creators launching on Mosh may be able to whitelist BUN holders for bundle funding. That gives BUN a role beyond being the first Liquidity Swarm token: potential access to selected launches How it could work: - Hold BUN → qualify for selected bundles - Fund launch inventory (held in agent vaults) - Receive a claim on trading fees Details aren’t final. A whitelist doesn’t guarantee allocation, or profit. Still, it positions BUN as an 'access asset' inside Mosh’s funding system. Together with ALF, Mosh is testing two BUN-linked paths: - BUN holders may get access to future bundle funding - Team-controlled fees may fund agents that can buy BUN (and other ecosystem assets) At scale, the pitch is a very interesting flywheel: More launches → more trading → more fees → more ALF capital → more ecosystem investment. Personally, if Mosh can demonstrate that both operate sustainably, it could have something more substantial than an AI-powered memecoin launch mechanism. But until the capital flows and investment results are verifiable, ALF remains an intriguing extension of the original experiment rather than proven token value accrual. NFA. DYOR.
