Transparency: the team has been hard at work solving two really difficult problems at the same time:

- The Safety Module bug on Moonwell that we hit Thursday (in short, funds are completely safe but we'll have a proposal up tomorrow that fully repays everyone 100% of the WELL they could have claimed and a future governance proposal in a few weeks that will also distribute the entire rewards due to users from August 14th to September 11th based on their stkWELL balance (no need to unstake, just stake and chill and be rewarded exactly what you expected), total losses only the ~$285K that was intended to be distributed over that time, and no WELL deposits at risk.

- The MAMO drop earlier today is working fine but @mamo (nice 4 letter @X handle btw, looking good mate) can't seem to compound VIRTUAL, which we believe is due to the transfer tax (ask me in the replies if you don't know what this is). We also discussed as a team and we realized that there is a transfer tax (1% when the drop starts, another 1% transfer tax when @mamo claims your rewards, and another 1% transfer tax when MAMO swaps VIRTUAL into more MAMO and compounds them.) The short version is that there is probably a 4-5% transfer tax just for @mamo to do what it does best: compound your VIRTUAL into more MAMO. So tomorrow we're going to fix this and simply swap the VIRTUAL into cbBTC and all MAMO depositors this week will get the same exact amount of the drop ($70K rewards) but you'll get the VIRTUAL in cbBTC instead of VIRTUAL which means going forward we only lose 1% on the initial swap from VIRTUAL to cbBTC and then from that point on @mamo can do what it does best: stack sats and compound them into more MAMO or into Bitcoin (if that's what you want) without paying these 4-5% transfer taxes just to ultimately sell it for you in an automated way.

I'm incredibly proud of the team for executing on two very important projects simultaneously. We've grown a lot in the last few months, but we're still small (about 20 in total, a dozen of us devs) and we're hiring. If you're a world class Solidity dev, or expert in full stack and AI, we're hiring.

Short version: Both @MoonwellDeFi and @Mamo_agent had unplanned work in the last few days, but our team is world class and we rose to the challenge: fixing a new bug that wasn't found after years of audits without losing any customer funds and coming up with a plan to make every stkWELL holder have no reason to unstake, and at the same time working on some unexpected issues in the first of its kind, a brand new finance agent that never takes custody of user funds and is capturing 7 figures of annualized REAL YIELD in the form of trading fees on @AerodromeFi and then fully automating stacking sats for you in a way that makes onchain finance simple and accessible to everyone.

gmamo! keep building team, I'm incredibly proud of all of you... and if you're a best in class solidity dev or AI/backend/fullstack focused engineer, send your CV to careers _at_ moonwell _dot_ fi and let's chat. Come build at the center of stablecoins, decentralized apps, and AI agents. 🌜🌱🌛

Most financial tools feel overwhelming. They're designed for people who already speak the language of finance. @Mamo_agent takes a different path. It's built for the rest of us - for people who want to grow their money without making it their full-time job. Story time...🧵

In summer 2020 when the world locked down for Covid, I began exploring smarter ways to grow money, not through chasing trends, but calm, steady systems that compound over time. My friends at @Coinbase took notice. Some suggested I start a fund, but I had a different vision... Image
As generative AI revolutionized the world in 2023, I was working on decentralized apps at @MoonwellDeFi, and began thinking about agents with a wallet, and how we might automate the systems for passive wealth creation I had developed in the last few years. The tech wasn't ready. Image

Last night, a vault on @Optimism named "Moonhacker" had a vulnerability that was exploited and I'd like to explain what happened.

First, let me be clear: All funds on @MoonwellDeFi are safe and there are no vulnerabilities in the Moonwell protocol. 🧵
The @CyversAlerts team has already deleted the post above that had incorrect information. Here's what really happened:

The Moonhacker vault deployer and the actual Moonhacker are unknown to our team. The vault appears to have been developed to execute a leveraged USDC strategy.
Many individual whales and funds deploy vaults like this that integrate with Moonwell core markets and vaults. The typical strategy is to supply USDC, then borrow USDC, then supply more, in order to farm WELL and OP liquidity incentives.

Web3 data is broken...

I didn't quite realize how badly until just recently, but we hit some hard scaling challenges at @MoonwellDeFi as we crossed 40,000 wallets on @Base. 🌜🔵🌛

In the last 3 months, our community on Base has quadrupled. This is a great problem to have... 🧵 Image
Before our launch on Base last year, we designed a new data architecture that enabled us to show beautiful market and portfolio graphs in our app. Using GraphQL, we were able to capture daily snapshots of your positions, and show your portfolio history over time.
This worked beautifully, and was well received by our community, but we knew it was a somewhat inefficient way to do this. As we recently reached over 40,000 wallets, it was now taking several hours per day to index all of this onchain data and generate these daily snapshots.

The last several weeks have been challenging for crypto, web3 and DeFi, but even in the darkest of times, green shoots of life emerge.

🌱 One new blossoming ecosystem is @MoonbeamNetwork - an EVM compatible parachain on @Polkadot.

Let's explore! 🧵 (not financial advice)
@MoonbeamNetwork @Polkadot What makes @Polkadot unique? Parachains and shared security. Parachains are distinct L1 networks that can support any use case. Proof of stake validators on the L0 relay chain provide shared security to all parachains and can pass messages between them.
@MoonbeamNetwork @Polkadot In case it isn't obvious, this gives @MoonbeamNetwork and other parachains superpowers:

💌 Send messages and communicate between apps
💸 Teleport tokens and NFTs between parachains
🏦 Mint digital assets that can be used on all parachains
🚫 Reduce or eliminate bridge risk

I keep getting asked what web3 is. 🧵
I can send money to my family overseas without paying over 10% in fees and getting cheated by criminally convicted @WesternUnion. What's more, no corporation can deplatform me or censor the transfers of value to my family. consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2020/09/1…
I can contribute directly to open source projects without any 3rd-party, charity or not, taking a cut of my donation. In addition, a matching pool will probably enhance my contribution. gitcoin.co
