Retail XRP Holders Could Soon Earn 20% Yield on Their Tokens

🧵 Protocol of the Day: @MoonwellDeFi Moonwell is an open lending and borrowing protocol that lets users supply or borrow digital assets across Base, Optimism, and Moonbeam. ✅ Pros: • Deployed across multiple chains with a focus on ease of use • Audited by top firms like Halborn and Code4rena • Non-custodial design ensures users retain full control over their assets • Top 10% by TVL, signaling strong adoption and traction ⚠️ Risks: • Cross-chain complexity – Supporting multiple chains may introduce interoperability and coordination challenges • Systemic risk – Cross-collateral design means risks in one asset can impact the broader protocol • Smart contract risk – Despite audits, DeFi lending platforms remain vulnerable to contract exploits

Honest take from Harvest's Twitter admin Over the past few years, we've transformed Harvest into a yield powerhouse, with only the old-school tractor remaining on the surface • Pristine security track record for over 4 years now • Top yield sources on @base • New product line: Autopilots - high-frequency reallocation vaults in tandem with math wizards of @ipor_io • $10M to $45M TVL in the past year • Unmatched yield tracking precision - past, current, future data and outlooks • Lifetime yield accrued by your wallet, down to a single decimal, reflected by most major fiat currencies - USD, CHF, EUR, GBP, YEN • Clear and transparent benchmarks of all our products - no performance guesswork • Home to one of DeFi's longest-operating vaults • In-depth vaults audit in 2025 with @HalbornSecurity • Near 24/7 support from real humans Side note: since the introduction of precise earnings info boxes and tabs in the Harvest App about a year ago, we have literally stopped receiving user tickets in that regard Harvest users know precisely what they get to earn, at what rate, and how frequently the newly accrued yield rolls into their wallet Still here, still building for better DeFi as a DAO Onwards

⚠️ If you’re not careful with token decimals, users could withdraw a trillion more than they deposited! 😱 Halborn Offensive Security Engineer Juan Xavier Valverde shows an example in the latest Critical Spotlight episode, along with tips to resolve the issue 🔍 https://t.co/sYtEqiCWfN

🧵 Protocol of the Day: @AuraFinance Aura is a yield optimizer built on top of Balancer that helps LPs and BAL stakers earn boosted rewards by aggregating veBAL and simplifying the staking process. ✅ Pros: • Simplifies complex veBAL mechanics through tokenized wrappers like auraBAL • Battle-tested—live since 2022 with audits from PeckShield, code4rena, and Halborn • Decentralized design—on-chain governance and low voting power concentration ⚠️ Risks: • Anonymous team – Limits transparency and accountability in governance and development • Smart contract risk – Custom strategies for automated yield carry the usual DeFi vulnerabilities • Revenue dependency – Yield depends on sustained BAL incentives and Balancer ecosystem activity

Security in DeFi isn't just a feature, it’s the foundation. That’s why I took notice when @Lombard_Finance went the extra mile. Every major release from Lombard is subjected to double audits, a practice that speaks volumes about the team’s commitment to protecting user funds. They’re not cutting corners either, audits have been completed by top-tier firms like OpenZeppelin, Veridise, and Halborn. These are names that carry serious weight in the industry, trusted by some of the biggest and most secure projects in the entire space. What I appreciate even more is the transparency, all of Lombard’s audits are fully publicly available on GitHub, for anyone to review. That kind of openness builds confidence, not just through words, but through verifiable proof. For anyone navigating this space, especially with real capital on the line, that level of diligence matters.

📰 In 2023, Halborn provided security solutions and advisory for the Project Guardian tokenization project, in collaboration with @SBI_DAH 🤝 Read the full case study in our Tokenized Finance Security whitepaper with @Ownera_io! 🛡️ 📩 Get your copy: https://t.co/S2TAE3jlm9 https://t.co/ySWzNd0f6H

🧵 Protocol of the Day: @reserveprotocol Reserve enables the permissionless creation of stablecoins (RTokens) backed by customizable, yield-generating baskets of crypto assets. ✅ Pros: • Fully collateralized and yield-bearing stablecoins tailored to user-defined asset baskets • Permissionless creation of RTokens with configurable governance and revenue models • Audited by top firms like Trail of Bits, Halborn, and Solidified • No protocol hacks since launch and low governance centralization risk ⚠️ Risks: • RSR liquidity – RSR token may lack sufficient on-chain liquidity to backstop large-scale defaults • Staking risk – RSR stakers absorb losses during collateral shortfalls • Yield strategy exposure – RTokens rely on external yield sources, which introduces smart contract and market risk • Custom collateral – Users can create RTokens with niche assets, increasing potential for poor collateral quality

Locking liquidity is one of the most effective ways to build trust with your users 🔒 It prevents early withdrawals, ensures fair access, and signals long-term commitment — especially during a token launch. The UNCX locker now supports @solana’s most widely used pool types, including @RaydiumProtocol AMM v4, CLMM, and CP-Swap. All contracts are fully audited by @HalbornSecurity and @osec_io, with lock status publicly visible on @DEXToolsApp, @dexscreener, and @GeckoTerminal.
