BuilderNet paid out $100k in a *single transaction* with @chainlink SVR!

@Arnno39 @AlsieLC @filippoarman @web3sly @fr0zensun 2/ @ethereum’s second decade kicked off with a block built by @flashbots_x BuilderNet, a decentralized, MEV-sharing network already refunding users >1,000 ETH. A fitting milestone for a decentralized network that’s never gone down in 10 years.

I think its both true that - Ethereum made some necessary course corrections in its leadership process, and - fundamentals today are virtually unchanged from 6-12 months ago. Ethereum's price started to trail fundamentals and people invented a narrative to explain that. These trends tend to reverse after a time, and now we need new narratives, why you see people saying Ethereum made a drastic pivot or similar things. In reality, Ethereum fundamentals were always strong, but it also has its problems. And both of those strengths and weaknesses are ~the same. The human urge to rationalize is just incredibly strong. I think to understand that is one of the best things you can learn in this market, but at least for me it took living through a few market cycles to really be able to do it.

As part of efforts to ensure long-term sustainability, Lido Labs, Lido Ecosystem, and Lido Alliance have made the hard decision to reduce the size of their contributor teams, impacting around 15% of the workforce. This decision was about costs — not performance. It affects incredibly talented people who helped shape the protocol and community. If you're hiring and want to connect with outstanding talent, DM @maxpavier on Telegram — he’s facilitating intros. This is a difficult decision, but one rooted in long-term resilience. While it may seem counterintuitive amid a market upswing, the move reflects a deliberate commitment to sustainable growth, operational focus, and alignment with the priorities of LDO tokenholders. Lido is building for the decades ahead — and this change helps reinforce that foundation. To everyone affected: thank you. You’ve left your mark on Lido and I am grateful for your contribution.
