Enough is enough. We’ve built $VICE with honour, transparency, and relentless commitment — but the behaviour we’ve just witnessed from certain so-called “partners” is despicable. This is a message to our community — and to the bad actors who tried to exploit it. 🧵 ⸻ Since launch in January, $VICE has delivered everything we promised: – Every pre-sale holder received tokens in full. – Every pre-sale investor made a profit. – We’ve listed on Gate, MEXC, and DEXs. – We’ve built a real utility: a live blockchain raffle & lottery platform launching now. Real project. Real people. Real delivery. ⸻ We’ve survived brutal markets, fake influencers, and broken promises — yet we’ve never stopped building. But this week, on the eve of launching the most exciting phase of our journey, we’ve been hit with one of the worst examples of greed we’ve seen in this industry. ⸻ We engaged three Turkish KOLs — @cryptotrfacts, @TurkElit, and @stevedabitcoin — who came highly recommended. We trusted them. We allocated around $100,000 of $VICE tokens for long-term partnership, genuine marketing, and community growth. We gave them content, roadmap, and our next-phase plan. ⸻ Before they even posted a single tweet… We saw wallets moving tokens to Gate and MEXC. Then, as soon as they started posting, the chart turned red. Sell pressure came from their wallets — not rumours, not assumptions — facts. (don’t worry, we’ve bought it back) They denied it. But on-chain data doesn’t lie. ⸻ We asked for transparency: “Show your wallets. Show your tokens.” Silence. We asked for integrity: “Return what’s not been earned.” Ignored. Then they blocked comments and DMs. If there’s nothing to hide — why hide? ⸻ Let’s be clear: They didn’t just dump on the project — they dumped on our community. They dumped on the holders who’ve believed in $VICE since day one. They dumped on the very people who make this space real. This is the toxic side of crypto we’re standing up against. ⸻ We’re not here to cry foul. We’re here to set a standard. $VICE has: – 99%+ of supply under team control – A live, working product ready to go – Gate, MEXC, and DEX liquidity – Mastercard integration – Capital reserves to execute We are not going anywhere. We will only move up. Believe us on that. ⸻ To the $VICE community — and to the wider crypto community — thank you. Your support, vigilance, and exposure of bad actors matter. We especially thank @profesorishere for standing for truth and integrity. This is what the real crypto space should look like — honourable, respectful, united. ⸻ As a thank-you to our community — once @cryptotrfacts, @TurkElit, and @stevedabitcoin either return their tokens or come clean about selling — we will launch a $10,000 $VICE giveaway to reward real holders, builders, and believers who’ve stood by us through this. Transparency wins. Integrity wins. $VICE wins. ⸻ We now open the door for credible, honourable, and effective partners who want to build with us — people who deliver, not deceive. If you’re real, if you’re here for the long game — join us. Let’s make $VICE the example of integrity in Web3. ⸻ To the bad actors: return your tokens or explain yourselves. To the community: the floor is ours. To the market: watch what happens next. We don’t need fake hype. We have a real product, real users, and real conviction. The future of $VICE starts now.

Today is the second anniversary of Celestia's mainnet. Two years' worth of iterations, learnings, ups and downs, and thousands upon thousands of Git commits. When you're building something new, you can get some things right, but you also get a lot wrong. We certainly did. I've been working on Celestia for 6 years, and have been in crypto for 15 years. I've seen the industry evolve and mature over time, from the early cypherpunk days in 2010, to the ICO craze in 2017 where everyone believed that Web3 will entirely replace Web2 and we're going to put everything on chain, to today: a more matured perspective on where blockchains actually have product-market fit. Similarly, Celestia also launched with a "build whatever" mindset, trying to be something to everyone, without a clear focus on what kind of chains people were actually going to build on Celestia's high throughput. We burned many cycles going down unproductive rabbit holes. But taking this approach led us somewhere more powerful than we could've planned: we found a hot spot of product activity. Over the past year, numerous high-performance onchain trading products have begun choosing Celestia. Why? Today, Celestia is the *only* way to ship the lowest latency onchain trading venues by any metric. You get: • 2ms latency with rollup frameworks like Sovereign SDK, • 6 second finality on Celestia (100x faster than other rollup base layers), and • ~200k TPS worth of bandwidth. Celestia is the only product that offers this combination, with projects like Bullet, Hibachi, VEX, RISE, Ethereal, and XO Market already pioneering this frontier with Celestia underneath. And while building around the needs of these projects... we now have a short-cut for doubling down in this direction :) More soon.

Stablecoins... and... Napp Layers... Next Up on Lazy TV: Purpose-built stablecoins, modular infrastructure, The upcoming @noble_xyz AppLayer, And bringing Gen-3 stablecoin distribution and liquidity to builders everywhere✨ Friday, October 31 02:00 PM UTC Come nap with us 🦥💤

The Lamumu mint was delayed due to an unexpected issue on OpenSea's platform. Despite hundreds (if not thousands) of NFT launches happening daily, Lamumu was the very first collection to uncover this specific bug. Our team just wrapped up 7+ hours on late-night calls with OpenSea's engineering and partnerships team. Huge thanks to the OpenSea crew — especially Oliver, Carty, and others — for jumping in with us, working through fixes, and committing to a long-term resolution on their end. We know it's frustrating to experience delays after so much effort from every side, community, design, distribution, and now platform, but this only strengthens our commitment to making Lamumu one of the most iconic, S-tier NFTs in the space and a core part of the Common ecosystem.
