Optimism will pay you exactly $2,000,042 for one critical bug. Not a typo 👀 the 42 is intentional. High severity finds still pay a flat $50K. The program is live on Immunefi right now. One finding can change your life. @Optimism @immunefi https://t.co/VEIzCTvNmI

Curve Finance has launched Llamalend v2 on Optimism as the first phase of a major upgrade to its lending infrastructure, and plans to deploy it to the Ethereum mainnet in the second half of this year. This launch received a subsidy of 250,000 OP tokens from the Optimism Foundation, used for approximately two months of early liquidity incentives. Llamalend v2 removes the previous restriction of only supporting the crvUSD trading pair, allowing markets to be created around multiple collaterals and lending assets, and supports Curve LP tokens as collateral. https://t.co/1goLk6LaeL

Morpho is legit (albeit i question the ultimate margins and fee capture), but has a16z crypto made a positive growth investment in a token yet? History certainly not on its side with a lot of data points....optimism, layer zero, aptos, worldcoin, lido, dydx, uni, jto

Onchain payments are quietly having a breakout moment. Crypto card payment volume hit a record $833M in May, up 180% YoY, pushing cumulative volume above $9B for the first time. Optimism and Solana are now capturing more of that activity, while apps like Jupiter Spend are pushing QR-based payments into everyday use. The casino is still loud. But the payment rails are actually growing.

According to The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter, the on-chain crypto asset card settlement amount in May 2026 reached a record high of $833 million, a 180% increase year-over-year. In particular, high-speed networks such as Optimism and Solana are benefiting from expanding payment demand, and both networks have been outperforming the overall market since 2025, cumulatively capturing about 22% market share.

BREAKING: Total onchain crypto card payment volumes hit a record $833 million in May 2026, up 180% from the same month last year. Cumulative onchain crypto card volumes have now crossed $9 billion for the first time in history. Optimism and Solana have been the primary beneficiaries, capturing a combined 22% market share and outperforming the broader crypto market since 2025 on the back of payment-related activity growth. Jupiter Spend is accelerating adoption through localized features like QR integration, posting 60%+ month-over-month payment volume growth. Onchain payments are no longer a niche use case. The infrastructure is scaling, the volumes are real, and the year-over-year numbers suggest this is still early.
