According to @ItsDave_ADA, he cast a YES vote with 38.51 million ADA for the governance action titled Stablecoin DeFi Liquidity Budget to address shallow stablecoin depth on Cardano that causes substantial price impact on swaps, with the transaction publicly viewable under hash ad198b9d881e63d0f26f802b97bd2a8008201bf27bffa0ad474017c45d7fe4a3; Source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Oct 14, 2025; Source: ADAStat transaction ad198b9d881e63d0f26f802b97bd2a8008201bf27bffa0ad474017c45d7fe4a3. According to @ItsDave_ADA, major stablecoin providers have sidelined Cardano and favored ecosystems where they hold vested interests, so he supports strategic self-investment to strengthen Cardano’s liquidity and competitiveness; Source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Oct 14, 2025. According to @ItsDave_ADA, his support is contingent on an outcome-driven plan that prioritizes protocols which have contributed the most liquidity to Cardano, caps funding to a maximum of three DEXs to avoid liquidity fragmentation and reduce price impact, and encourages recipient protocols to open-source batchers for transparency; Source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Oct 14, 2025. According to @ItsDave_ADA, he expects frequent, transparent reporting on treasury replenishment, liquidity growth, and ecosystem performance metrics so the community can assess impact and accountability; Source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Oct 14, 2025.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Helius validated 412,325 Solana blocks over the last 60 days, with 2,960 blocks or 0.72% containing at least one sandwich attack, indicating measurable MEV presence on Solana — source: @ItsDave_ADA on X - Oct 4, 2025. He adds that some validators saw sandwich activity in as many as 27.34% of their blocks during the same period, showing uneven but significant validator-level exposure — source: @ItsDave_ADA on X - Oct 4, 2025. He characterizes this as a clear sign of how widespread the issue has become on Solana, where technical users extract value from non-technical users, underscoring a MEV problem that SOL traders should factor into on-chain execution considerations — source: @ItsDave_ADA on X - Oct 4, 2025.

According to @ItsDave_ADA, a Cardano-native token minted on Solana two months ago has only 30 holders, with 23 wallets holding under $100, indicating very limited distribution. Source: @ItsDave_ADA. These holder metrics point to thin liquidity and elevated slippage risk for that specific asset, which is critical for trade sizing and order type selection. Source: @ItsDave_ADA. The post uses this example to argue Solana may not be the optimal place to build in this case, cautioning traders against extrapolating chain-wide demand from isolated launches. Source: @ItsDave_ADA. Traders considering similar cross-chain tokens on Solana or Cardano (SOL, ADA) should review on-chain holder growth and DEX liquidity depth before entering positions. Source: @ItsDave_ADA.

According to @KookCapitalLLC, the clippy project was a forced cabal rug and promoters will face lasting reputational damage, signaling severe negative sentiment toward the token and its backers; source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Aug 30, 2025. The post provides no in-text on-chain evidence, so traders should treat it as a sentiment alert rather than a confirmed fraud event until corroborated; source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Aug 30, 2025. Actionable checks for risk management include monitoring liquidity pool removals, large developer or insider wallet transfers, and DEX slippage/impact around clippy mentions to quantify liquidity and exit risk; source: @KookCapitalLLC on X, Aug 30, 2025.

According to @deanmlittle, adversaries are spamming roughly 100k assembly-optimized transaction payloads to MEV other users to the back of the queue, signaling elevated mempool contention and priority fee pressure for on-chain traders; Source: https://twitter.com/deanmlittle/status/1957296880536502457 Such heavy orderflow competition increases the odds of failed transactions, slippage on DEX swaps, and unfavorable execution from front-running and sandwich attacks documented in peer-reviewed research; Source: https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.05234 Traders can mitigate by routing through private or MEV-protected relays and batch-auction protocols to internalize MEV and reduce exposure to mempool sniping; Sources: https://docs.flashbots.net/flashbots-protect/overview and https://docs.cow.fi/ When bot activity spikes, monitor mempool congestion and inclusion latency, and raise tips/priority fees per your chain’s fee market design to maintain execution quality; Source: https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/gas/
