Firefox 138 just got released yesterday which means tab folders are coming to Zen any day now

Arc folders have been the last thing keeping me from making the switch, but soon that won't be the case

Was really hoping Arc would reverse course but that opportunity seems to have come and gone
This should now be fixed

We also sent out all remaining refunds this week

Feel free to ping me if you notice any other issues

Looks like a few of our ponder predictions got stuck calculating this morning

We’ll get those resolved later today

Too invested in seeing the turnout here to not create a piggyback ponder for @grace and see who is picking up the strongest +1 signals

Crazy to see the number of risk takers putting in $10 on these 🤯

Voting is now fixed, looks like we had a few residual bugs after migrating a huge chunk of our backend

Appreciate everyone's patience as we make some major upgrades to our app 🙏

Update on today's incident: We've identified a critical vulnerability in our withdrawal API, where there was an exploit that allowed unauthorized withdrawals to bypass our security checks. We've frozen withdrawing funds on smart wallets until this is fully resolved.

Most importantly - all smart contracts, admin wallets, and user smart wallets remain fully secure and uncompromised

The root cause was an authentication spoofing technique in our API routes due to architectural constraints within our auth system. We've learned a lot from this exploit and are implementing more robust security measures to prevent a situation like this from ever happening again.

All affected users will be refunded this week

Just patched a bug where some users couldn't see their balances on their wallets

Make sure to reload the app if you're still seeing this issue
