Reminder- Mantra rugged 5.5B and we’ve moved on like nothing happened!!

They didn’t just slow rug. They speedran the biggest DeFi exit scam of the year.
OM was supposed to be the RWA messiah. Polygon, big backers, all the usual buzzwords.
Then the team nuked the token, dumped on retail, and ghosted — taking 5.5 billion with them.
No arrests. No outrage. CT moved on in 48 hours.

Meanwhile you’re out here still buying coins with “real-world utility.”

This space is cooked lmao.

Guess who just woke up to reality

No one gives a shit. Keep buying your solana pajeet shitters.
All Twitter fags should hang

Feels more like a coordinated liquidation than a straight-up exit scam. And CT’s short memory isn’t new. look at every previous blow-up. Still, wild how $5.5B vanished, and everyone just shrugged.

How do I get a job as a dev so I can rug and vanish with generational wealth too? Lol

Just make a shitcoin on Solana.
Their official website has unironically a step-by-step guide to create a shitcoin.

at least they wont go down like your grandmas breast overnight.

That ecosystem i just thriving on memes

I stopped believing in 'real-world utility' the moment my net worth got outpaced by meme coins named after bodily functions. Mantra Chain speedran their rug, CT moved on, and the next pump is already loading. This space is beyond salvation, lmao.

And yet they have refused to pump

No one gives a shit, because at the end we're all here for the money

clown world

We are used to the rugs, so it's all about waiting for the next project to go under

You actually believed "utility" mattered?
2017: This ICO will disrupt banking! rug
2021: DeFi is the future of finance! exploit
2024: RWAs will save us! 5.5B vanishes

The pattern's been clear for years

There has to be a way out of this cycle..
tell me there is a way out

Sure, DeFi’s full of rugs, but let’s not pretend every project is a scam. Some of the biggest players still deliver. Yeah, Mantra was a disaster, but that doesn’t mean everything ‘real-world utility’ is dead. Just gotta navigate the minefield.

Mantra was a lesson, not the end. The next wave of DeFi will be less degen and more structured.

The next wave of DeFi will be less degen

where is the fun innit?

The time for utility coins is close, and I believe we should be on the lookout for projects with strong audits and backing like Haven1

Surviving in DeFi now is less about “number go up” and more about not stepping on the next landmine.

What does this even mean?

strong audits

You mean Certik kek

In all these, different projects still printed millionaires, and it won't be different this time, so you either get in or remain poor

Lol, the space is ridiculously unregulated.

I think DeFi needs some kind of regulations especially those dealing with RWA

Here’s the truth: most people aren't investing — they're gambling and calling it investing.
They want 100x on dog coins but get mad when they lose it all. They chase APYs without reading a line of the contract. They ape into "real-world utility" and ignore the fact the team’s wallet is live-dumping on them.

Meanwhile, the few people who do make it?
They rotate profits. They hedge. They farm stable 5–8% while the rest bleed.
They research. They watch TVL, audits, governance, not just X posts and hype threads.

You don’t need to be a genius. You just need to survive long enough for everyone else to ragequit.
Play the long game. Stack smart. If something looks too good to be true, it is.
If it looks boring and well-structured, it probably has a future.

Right now I’m sitting 40% stables, 30% majors, and 30% gold (PAXG).
Not sexy, but I sleep fine. And I’ll still be here next cycle when CT resets again.

Right now I’m sitting 40% stables, 30% majors, and 30% gold (PAXG).

that’s the kind of allocation people don’t flex but end up winning with. I’ve been eyeballing some yield options on newer chains like Haven1 with verified users, and not a total degen mess.

Yeah, agreed. Not talking about full-on TradFi chains, but if you're dealing with RWAs and real money, there’s gotta be some guardrails.
Letting anon devs deploy unaudited garbage isn’t gonna cut it when people are tokenizing houses.

Gold's been the real store of value for thousands of years. On-chain version makes sense to me.

Just steady growth, that’s the kinda portfolio that wins in the end.

My invested is on aave, safer for me.

Got some Dai on Aave, even tho the 3% APY is kinda meh. Better than nothing, I guess. Just parking it for now.

Lmao so true

There is this site called revshare dot dev
U can create a token for 0.4sol with token reward using transaction fees

It seems like a step in the right direction. Verified users and mandatory contract audits make it way safer than most DeFi projects desu.

Bitcoin has officially hit another all-time high (ATH), and I’ve got to say, the feeling in the air is different this time. For those who’ve been around since the early days, it’s like watching something you've believed in for years finally come into its own. Sure, we've seen these moments before, but there's something about this one that feels like it's part of a larger shift.

The market will have its ups and downs, and while I believe Bitcoin is on a long-term trajectory upward, it’s not immune to corrections. But what’s clear is that we’re witnessing history unfold. For those of us who’ve been following Bitcoin for years, this feels like the start of something bigger than any ATH we’ve seen before.

ATH is a testament to its growing acceptance as a store of value and hedge against inflation. As adoption increases, the potential for further growth remains strong, positioning Bitcoin as a major player in the financial landscape.
Its not gonna stop all risk, but at least it’s not a shitshow either.

imagine thinking a human typed this

retard spotted

We are used to the rugs,

I'm not! More reason why I only interact with ecosystems that are rekt free. There will be signs.

Tired of playing roulette with unaudited DeFi projects. Not asking for TradFi-level handholding, but basic security shouldn’t be optional.

Hehe... is Haven2 on the way?
I like how it gives a vibe of "safe haven" already. Kek

Your pf is for someone who has made it, not someone who's just trying to, but I get your point

If contracts will get double audits before they get deployed on the L1, it means there won't likely be room for a rug

rugpulled shitcoin

Shocking.

I think it's the start of the altseason, something similar to the 2017 move

The 500% APY on that project looks risky, and it's funny to see that it's fixed

We need to see altcoins move and not only BTC which keep sucking the liquidity

At least they’re doing something. Most chains just launch random crap and hope it doesn’t blow up.

I made over $300 last week on uniwasp (LP), not much, but beats watching altcoins bleed.

Necessity is indeed the father of invention; feel bad for those who have given up on the space. The setbacks we've had have helped to inform the decisions of the devs to create a better product

with verified users,

Most chains let anyone deploy whatever, but it forces a review process before contracts go live.
It may slow things down, but less zero-day rug risk.

They saw that chainlink has already won the war and did the right thing. The others will follow Mantra

Verified users

Jeets and scammer devs will definitely not touch this with a 10ft pole
That's a win IMO

I hear there's a yield program here offering up to 500% APY; hope it doesn't just exist on paper?
