🚨SlowMist TI Alert🚨
💸
@EnsoBuild Loss: ~5.6 ETH
🔍 Root Cause: An oracle price calculation error occurred in the Enso Finance / DPI Strategy Vault. In `Controller.deposit()`, the EnsoOracle's `estimateStrategy()` is called before and after the user tokens are transferred, and shares are minted on the difference: `mint = amountAdded * totalSupply / valueBefore`. The valuation chain — EnsoOracle → ItemEstimator → `ProtocolOracle.consult()` — prices tokens via UniV3 `pool.observe()`, but the registry's `fee` field is reused as `secondsAgo`, producing a near-spot TWAP window. Due to the absence of TWAP consistency checks or price range validation—combined with the fact that the liquidity in the Uniswap v3 pool used for price calculation was inherently imbalanced—an attacker was able to swap 0.683 WETH for 268.42 FARM tokens on Uniswap v2 in a single transaction, while the imbalanced v3 pool incorrectly valued that amount at 6.3 WETH (~ 9.2x). Subsequently, an excessive number of shares were minted at an incorrect price and redeemed for profit.

Marathon Season 3 is more than six rounds of staying active 🏃
For Season 3, we focused on improving the overall Marathon experience, making it easier to follow, more social, more personal, and more rewarding.
Here’s a deeper look at what’s new and, more importantly, what it means for you 👇
🛡️ Insurance:
Insurance protects you against one missed day during a round, giving you some breathing room without removing the challenge of staying consistent.
Insurance is purchased separately for each reward pool and each round, with its price dynamically adjusted based on registrations and the previous round’s success rate.
And there’s another benefit for the community: 94% of Insurance purchases go directly into the Marathon reward pool, increasing the potential rewards for successful finishers.
👥 A better way to compete together
Marathon doesn’t have to be a solo challenge anymore. Season 3 introduces a much deeper Team experience. Create or join a team, customize it with your own name, logo, banner, and description, and follow your teammates throughout the competition.
Team leaders can also send notices and daily reminders, while members can react to team updates.
It’s designed to make staying consistent a shared effort. Encourage each other, keep your teammates accountable, and compete together.
And there’s something worth competing for: Every round, the top three teams receive rewards for every member:
🥇 1st: 5 GGBoxes + 3 Keys
🥈 2nd: 5 GGBoxes + 2 Keys
🥉 3rd: 5 GGBoxes + 1 Key
🏆 Round AND Season Leaderboards
Winning one round is great. Performing consistently across an entire season is even better.
Teams can now compete across two different leaderboards.
📅 The Round Leaderboard tracks performance during the current 14-day round.
🌎 The Season Leaderboard tracks cumulative performance across all six rounds.
This means every round is a fresh opportunity to compete, while long-term consistency matters throughout the entire season.
🎭 Make Marathon yours
Your Marathon journey now has its own identity.
Choose your Marathon Name and Avatar, then use them across your profile and leaderboards.
Season Pass holders also get access to exclusive Avatars and additional Marathon Name changes, giving you even more ways to customize your identity.
📊 A better Marathon Profile
Season 3 also makes it easier to look back at what you’ve accomplished.
Your enhanced Marathon Profile brings your history, achievements, stats, and performance together in one place.
The more you participate, the more your profile becomes a record of your Marathon journey.
⏱️ A clearer daily experience
One of our biggest focuses for Season 3 was making Marathon easier to understand day to day.
The refreshed challenge interface gives you a clearer view of your daily challenge progress, remaining Energy requirement, Insurance status, and Auto-join settings.
There’s also a daily countdown timer, so you always know exactly how much time you have left to complete your activity before the next day begins.
Less guesswork, fewer accidental misses, and a much clearer view of where you stand.
🚀 More flexibility when joining a round
Missed the start of a round? You now have a little more flexibility.
Rounds begin at 12 AM UTC, but registration remains open for another 12 hours, until 12 PM UTC on the first day.
That gives you an extra window to get into the competition without having to wait two weeks for the next round.
🎟️ More value with the Season Pass
For those planning to go the distance, the Marathon Season Pass unlocks additional benefits throughout Season 3.
⭐ STEPN Premium Membership until the end of the season
👟 One locked STEPN Common Sneaker
🎭 Exclusive Marathon Avatars
✏️ Additional Marathon Name changes
🎁 Additional Marathon rewards, drops, and bonuses
Season 3 is about making Marathon better at every step.
More ways to compete. More ways to connect. More ways to make Marathon your own. And a smoother experience that helps you focus on what really matters: getting out there and staying active.
Which Season 3 improvement has made the biggest difference to your Marathon experience so far? 👇

Proof of Alpha Network: A Reputation Layer for Market Opinions
Most social platforms measure attention through followers, impressions, likes, and reposts. These signals show who commands an audience, but they do not answer the question that matters most:
Who has demonstrated repeatable market insight?
Proof of Alpha Network introduces a reputation layer for public market opinions. It converts unstructured commentary into timestamped, testable records containing the relevant asset, direction, time horizon, and clarity of the original call.
Each opinion is then evaluated against what subsequently happened in the market. This creates an inspectable history of the call, its outcome, and the evidence used to assess it.
Reputation is not reduced to a single universal score. A source may demonstrate strong insight into Bitcoin while performing poorly in equities. Someone may excel at long-term macro analysis but struggle with short-term market timing.
Proof of Alpha therefore builds contextual reputation across assets, time horizons, market regimes, and consistency. These relationships form an opinion graph connecting people, opinions, assets, events, and outcomes.
At its core is the Alpha Oracle, an ensemble system in which multiple independent AI models evaluate the same source material. Their weighted agreement determines whether an opinion record can be committed automatically, requires further refinement, or should be excluded when the evidence remains too ambiguous.
The resulting network continuously updates through the evolving loop:
Opinion → Outcome → Reputation → Trust → Conviction
The same structured records can also serve AI agents. By converting fragmented market discourse into a shared format, Proof of Alpha allows information to move across an agent network without every agent repeatedly interpreting the original content.
Proof of Alpha doesn’t replace judgment or predict future returns. Instead, it makes the historical evidence behind market credibility visible.
Markets have always priced assets. Proof of Alpha begins pricing credibility.

WTF, GROK BOT JUST MADE AI AGENTS AVAILABLE TO LITERALLY ANYONE – CREATING CONTENT HAS NEVER BEEN THIS EASY, EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER MADE ANYTHING BEFORE
Content was never a talent problem. It's a headcount problem.
One person doing research, design, copy, analytics, timing and publishing – that's six jobs. The switching between them is what kills consistency, not a lack of ideas.
Here's what one of these setups actually looks like.
A Chief of Staff sits in the middle and routes every task. Nothing lands on the human.
→ Researcher tracks what's actually moving and pulls real sources instead of guesswork
→ Writer turns that research into finished copy, ready to review
→ Visualiser gets fed a few reference visuals once, then ships everything in that style
→ Analyst reads the numbers and tells the rest of the team what worked
→ Scheduler owns timing and holds the queue
→ Publisher ships it
The part that makes it work: every agent on Grok Bot gets its own persistent computer, browser and file system – and they all share memory.
So the research is already sitting inside the draft before the draft starts. No copy-pasting between tools. No approving every step. No human in the middle.
You can even teach an agent a repetitive task by recording yourself doing it once. Start recording, do the thing, stop. It learns the pattern.
And that's the real shift.
Nobody needs AI to tell them what to post.
They need it to delete the 40 steps between the idea and the post.
Everyone has a backlog of things they've meant to make for months. This is what starts clearing it.
Full breakdown of the setup in the article below ↓

Cognitive reward shapes in sports and career
Sports are amazing environments to learn. When you play a sport for thousands of hours, you start to see the world through that sport. It is a simple fact—your biological neural network is being conditioned to respond to the behavior incentivized by the rules of the sport.
The funny thing is that most people choose their sports for accidental reasons such as parents, geography, or school programs. People rarely think about how the particular sport you play influences how your brain thinks more generally. Going a step further, playing the right sport may even benefit your career.
My two favorite sports are tennis and soccer. Tennis is one of the best sports for teaching consistency. In tennis, there are hundreds of points in a match, and each point is worth exactly one unit, regardless of whether your opponent made an unforced error or if you constructed the most beautiful point ending with a winner. Tennis is low-variance optimization—you win by reducing unforced errors, playing percentages, and grinding out small advantages. Tennis is also an individual sport, which teaches you to rely on yourself consistently.
Tennis has a similar cognitive reward shape to professions like being a surgeon or a pilot. Surgery and aviation require consistency, self-accountability, and deep focus. And similar to how you can only win one point at a time in tennis no matter how spectacular it was, there is no extra credit for the best appendectomy or the smoothest SFO-JFK flight. Your craft is to provide consistency with very low tolerance for error.
On the other hand, the tennis mindset transfers relatively little to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a high-variance, team game where failure is tolerated and occasional creativity gets rewarded exponentially. Minimizing unforced errors in tennis is a totally different mindset from deciding whether to make a moonshot business move that will likely fail but could potentially net a billion dollars. Obviously I am not saying that tennis players cannot be great entrepreneurs, but I do think it is a totally different cognitive reward shape.
Being a forward in soccer has a much closer reward shape for entrepreneurship. What a forward in soccer learns is to create many small chances. It is a fact that most of the game, you are not scoring—even if you look at all the times that Mbappe got on the ball in one of his best games, most of those led to nothing! But all that matters is creating enough chances to score once (or a few times) and win the game. If you break down a 90-minute game for a forward, almost all the time is failure or noise, a few minutes will be leverage, and a few seconds will determine the fate of the game. I have not played soccer for thousands of hours, but I can imagine that being a lifetime forward in soccer would teach you to be comfortable with failure and asymmetric returns.
In summary, I am claiming that there can be substantial value when the cognitive reward shape of your sport mirrors that of your career. I’ll admit that I’ve done some cherry-picking for illustration purposes—entrepreneurship also requires consistency and error avoidance; and goalies in soccer have reward shapes that are very different from strikers. But I think the point stands. If sports shape how we perceive risk, effort, and reward, then we should choose them wisely.
