Denver’s Carson Johnson is one of the most underrated players in college basketball heading into next season. The 6’1 PG had a strong Sophomore season where he averaged 20/2/3 on 46/41/88 splits and was named the Summit League POTY. Johnson was one of the most efficient off the dribble scorers in college basketball, where he was 2nd in total off the dribble made shots in D1 with 116, and shot 45%. Johnson plays with a strong handle and pace and it allows him to consistently get to his spots and create space for himself at a high level. Johnson’s pace and efficiency helped him finish in the 90th percentile in PNR play, and 95tb percentile in Isolation play on a very high sample size. Johnson is an elite mid range scorer who shot 47% from the mid range, and he’s also an elite shooter from three who can consistently create off the dribble, and he’s also an extremely efficient movement shooter. There’s not many players in college basketball with Johnson’s ability and efficiency as a shot creator, and as he progresses his game as a finisher and playmaker, he has one of the highest ceilings of any Mid Major player.

St John’s Dylan Darling was one of the best glue guys in all of college basketball this season. The 6’1 Junior PG had a strong season where he averaged 7/3/3 along with 1.5 SPG in only 21 MPG. Darling was one of the best guard defenders in college basketball this season with his mix of instincts and motor. Darlings motor and ability to stay in front of anyone in the POA helped him be one of the most impactful defenders in the country, he’s also an impactful off ball defender with his ability to switch and read passing lanes for steals. On the offensive end Darling has high level passing vision and can find his teammates in the PNR or as a connective passer. He’s also a skilled scorer in the PNR who ranked in the 75th percentile with his mix of finishing and mid range scoring. Darling shot an impressive 60% at the rim this season while also having great pace as a PG who rarely turned the ball over. Darling also uses his ability to get steals to create a two way player on the other end. There’s not many players in college basketball with Darling’s mix of motor, defense, passing, finishing, and pace.

Chaze Harris - An interesting name starting to circulate amongst possible eligibility cases, is the reigning Sun Belt POY Chaze Harris, who spent 3 non Division 1 years prior to joining the Jaguars this past season. Excellent positional size for a lead guard at 6’6. Portsmouth Invitational Invite, but chose to pursue the injunction route with the NCAA. As pure a scorer as there is. 22.0 PPG on 60.6% TS% in conference play this past season. One of only 16 players in the country to post that combination of volume and efficiency. Harris did it all for the Jaguars. A 34.6% USG% paired with a 38.0% AST%. Harris was scoring or assisting on nearly 3/4 of the Jaguars’ points while he was on the floor. Only four players over the last five years have carried that level of offensive responsibility. Harris’ ability to score in transition is unparalleled. 3.4 transition PTS/G (96th percentile) on 74.6% (93rd percentile), with the ability to push the pace both on and off the ball. Oftentimes, you’ll see a drastic drop-off in performance from mid-major transfers when playing against high-major competition, but that was not the case for Harris. In Quad 1 & 2 games this season, Harris averaged 21.3 PTS/G on 51% shooting from the field while posting a 40.1% AST%. Harris also led the Jaguars in Defensive Win Shares and served as the point of attack in South Alabama’s unique zone defense. The film showcases Harris’ elite first-step quickness and ability to get downhill at will, along with the creativity to finish at the rim in every way imaginable. Listed at 6’6” and a willing passer, Harris uses his frame as a weapon in ball screens to make reads that smaller guards simply cannot see. Chaze' Harris

You ever notice how the biggest political moves never come with fireworks—they slip in quiet, like background updates on your phone, rewriting the system while you’re distracted by the latest scandal? That’s where we are right now. In the last two weeks, America’s political stage pulled off some wild shifts, and most people didn’t even clock them. First off—Trump flexed federal power over policing, dropping National Guard deployments and dangling funding like a mob boss. The narrative is “law and order,” but the reality is: the White House deciding which states get punished for cashless bail or progressive reforms. That’s not safety, that’s federal overreach with a PR spin. And the trap? Democrats can either fight it and look “soft on crime,” or stay silent and normalize it. Either way, the rules of federalism just got rewritten when nobody was paying attention. Second—history itself is under attack. Through an order with a name straight out of Orwell, Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History, the Smithsonian’s exhibits on race, LGBTQ+ rights, even civil rights, are being gutted. Imagine scrubbing out the messy parts of America until what’s left is a highlight reel for a propaganda campaign. That’s not just museums, that’s national identity being curated for power. That’s how authoritarian regimes cement their myths—erase the record, then control the future. Third—Trump actually fired a Federal Reserve governor. Think about that. The Fed is supposed to be untouchable, independent, boring on purpose so no president can rig the economy. That firewall just got blown open. If this stands, every future president can treat the Fed like another cabinet post. That means your mortgage, your savings, your rent, all ride on political loyalty instead of financial stability. It’s the kind of move that doesn’t spark headlines because it sounds “wonky,” but in reality it’s massive—like pulling a Jenga block out from the bottom of the tower. Fourth—gerrymandering hit a new level in Texas. Mid-decade redistricting, not waiting for the census. Translation: redraw the map early to grab seats before voters even get to breathe. And here’s the kicker—while most of America shrugs, this is how democracy breaks without tanks in the streets. Quiet, technical, legalistic theft of representation. A Reuters poll already shows 57% of Americans think democracy is in danger. They’re not paranoid—it’s literally happening in real time. Put it all together and the pattern is clear. These aren’t random fights, they’re chess moves. Control the narrative (Smithsonian). Control the institutions (Fed). Control the maps (Texas). Control the cops (National Guard). That’s not democracy—it’s consolidation. The blind spot is that we keep watching the spectacle, waiting for some explosive event to signal “the coup is here,” when in reality, the coup is death by a thousand paper cuts. The loudest threats are distractions. The real power grabs are quiet, structural, boring by design—because boring doesn’t trend. But boring is where empires fall.

Player Profile: Khanyisa Mayo[27]📝 Position: RW/RF/CF Foot: Left Club: Kaizer Chiefs FC Kaizer Chiefs has made another bold move in adding quality to the teams attack. Khanyisa Mayo provides immediate and long-term attacking solutions for the club on the right. 1. Technical Qualities Mayo is a skillful, left-footed attacker with a profile built for modern, high-intensity attacking football. ■ A very direct winger, always looking to advance play instead of recycling possession. ■ Excellent at carrying the ball through pressure, breaking lines, and forcing defenders into retreat. ■ His dribbling and progressive runs add verticality to the team’s attacking structure. Shooting and Passing: ■ Strong shooting range when cutting inside from the right. He provides that unpredictability to the attack with his quality to strike the ball from range. Consistently attempts to feed the box: goals, assists, and key passes. A finisher and creator between the lines. Positional Versatility: ■ In a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1, his best role is as the right forward or right winger, cutting inside to shoot or combine. He can also be effective stretching play and still carry goal threat and creativity. ■ As a No. 9: While not his best role, he is capable of leading the line. He uses his pace to run in behind. He can compete but lacks the physicality to hold off defenders, though his finishing is good. ■ As a Second Striker[442]: A role that plays better to his strengths than as a 9. He is comfortable operating between the lines, combining with midfielders and a traditional box striker. His mobility, creativity, and shooting ability allow him to function as the link player, collecting the ball, supporting the primary striker, and creating or finishing opportunities. This ability to operate both wide and centrally makes him tactically flexible, giving Chiefs options in various attacking structures. 2. Physical Attributes ■ Pace & Explosiveness: Quick acceleration makes him a constant outlet for balls in behind. ■ Strength & Balance: He is strong enough to hold off fullbacks, sustaining attacking sequences under pressure ■ High Intensity: Matches the tempo of Chiefs’ pressing and counter-pressing game. We do most actions with a lot of intensity, and his explosive nature will be very much welcomed in our attack. 3. Tactical Fit at Chiefs Under Coach Nabi, Chiefs are shaping into a side that plays with directness, intensity, and aggression across all phases of play: ■ Pressing & Counter-Pressing: The team applies immediate pressure after losing the ball. Mayo’s speed, defensive work rate, and forward momentum align seamlessly with this system. ■ High-Tempo Attacking: Chiefs don’t rely on slow possession. Attacks are vertical, sharp, and quick. Mayo’s instinct to drive forward, dribble at defenders, and attack space makes him an ideal fit. ■ Attacking Personality: His ability to provide not just progression but also the final goal, final pass, and decisive action elevates Chiefs’ attacking efficiency. Mayo’s game is inherently aligned with protagonist football: high tempo, forward intent, and productivity. 4. Experiential Value ■ Continental Experience: Spent a season in Algeria with CR Belouizdad, scoring 6 goals from wide positions. Notable not just for the numbers but for adapting to a challenging cultural and tactical environment. ■ Tactical Growth: North African teams are disciplined and organized, with compact defenses and structured pressing. Mayo sharpened his decision-making, spatial awareness, and ability to operate against tight blocks, preparing him for high-level CAF competitions. ■ Mentality: At 27, he blends maturity with hunger. His willingness to take risks reflects confidence and attacking intent. Yet to reach his peak, now is the perfect time to step up, showing the quality glimpsed at Cape Town City. Mayo joins Chiefs as both a system player and a game-changer. A top signing by the Glamour Boys! 📝

A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR FROM DUBAI NAMED KIRA FILLS A 200-PERSON CLASS EVERY NIGHT AT $45 A HEAD BY MAKING HER WORKOUTS LOOK LIKE SOMETHING THAT WOULD GET BANNED ON EVERY OTHER PAGE. Thread. Here's the format that fitness influencers have been trying to crack for years and one girl in Dubai solved it by turning off the lights. A dark studio. Red and orange lighting. Neon workout sets. 200 women on orange mats doing hip thrusts in sync. The camera sits at floor level and drifts along the row. This is a workout class. It looks like the opening scene of a movie you'd watch with the door locked. Here's what Kira understood. Nobody shares a workout video because the exercise is effective. People share workout videos because of how the exercise looks. Hip thrusts are the single most effective glute exercise in strength training. They're also the single most suggestive movement a human body can make in a gym setting. She didn't invent the exercise. She invented the way you film it. Floor level, dark room, neon fabric, red light. Same exercise in a Planet Fitness under fluorescent bulbs gets 3,000 views. Same exercise in her studio gets 18 million. The neon is doing business nobody talks about. Hot pink, electric green, purple, white. Every color pops against the dark studio and the orange mats. The algorithm reads bright colors on dark backgrounds as high-contrast content and pushes it harder. But here's the real play: the neon colors are her merchandise. Every set you see in the video is available on her site. She doesn't tag the product, doesn't show a price, doesn't mention the store. The comments do it for her. "Where is the pink set from." "Link for the white leggings." Forty thousand free product inquiries per video and she never ran an ad. The class sells out 3 weeks in advance. Not because the programming is unique. The exercises are standard. Hip thrusts, bridges, glute kickbacks. You can find them in any trainer's plan. The class sells out because every person in the room knows they'll be in the video. 200 women pay $45 each to be background extras in a clip that will do 10 million views. They're not paying for the workout. They're paying for the content. They show up in neon, film themselves from their mat, post their own angle, tag the studio. 200 personal accounts all posting the same class on the same night. The reach multiplies by 200 every session and Kira doesn't post a single one of those. The camera angle is the moat. Any trainer can darken a room and buy colored lights. But the floor-level camera that drifts along a row of bodies mid-thrust is what makes this unflagable pornography for the fitness feed. It's a workout. Everyone is clothed. The exercise is in every textbook. But 200 women thrusting upward in neon under red light filmed from the floor doesn't read as fitness. It reads as something your brain has no clean category for. And content without a category gets watched longer because your brain is still trying to file it. She turned a gym into a nightclub, a nightclub into a content studio, and a content studio into a merch store. The class is the content. The content is the ad. The ad is the class. The loop never opens and the $45 is just the entry fee to a machine that prints views, sells leggings, and fills the next class with people who saw the last one. The lights are off but the business has never been more visible.

Long post alert. A few thank you's as well. ❤️ I feel bad I've really just got into the TTV game for the season 3 weeks in. As you know, Gridiron always takes priority for me at launch as I am nose to grindstone on covering as much about the game as I can. I truly appreciate you all rocking with me when it's a bit more sporadic. There are lots of elite players grinding TTV right now and it inspires me genuinely when I see you all growing and locking in on your craft. It's also amazing that so many of you choose to hang out given the choices! Over on the Gridiron side I also owe thank you's. All this coverage work and feedback is paying off. Big time. It's collaborative. #Madden26 If you want to shut down every formation, WE WILL TELL YOU (not just me) what front, stunt, coverage call, and who your user/switch stick rules are. The Discord has kicked it up so much this year and there's basically coverage residents in there giving advice at most hours of the day. That way you can get perspectives other than yours/my own on topics. They are great and answering things I am not (MUT sets, upcoming content, etc...) Here's a montage of just some clips of just today's stream. Some of these guys had seriously competent route combinations. Others were your average online player. Either way, we faced everything. Bunch. Trips TE. 4 Strong. Empty. 2x2 Tight. Doubles Flex Meta. And now with the Miami defense out for stunts/pressure/QB containment, two of my most thorough defensive game plans are fusing together and becoming really good together. Perfect complimentary rush + coverage rules. The YouTube channel WILL WIN YOU MORE GAMES (no strings attached) but it only scratches the surface. There's so much more. Maybe the best in coverage I've ever felt, all things considered. Yeah, aggs suck and CIT rates are super high. But the point is that we are prepared for when the game normalizes and still playing tight coverage in spite of that. Just keep generating turnover-worthy plays and usually (but not always) the player who wins that category wins the game. I also want to give a shout-out to the Gridiron Discord again, this time for the quality lab session questions and focus this yea. This group of dudes (and a couple gals too) is locked in as I've seen it in a bit. The questions and feedback in there has driven the Vault content more than ever. People have been labbing their tails off to memorize coverage rules and help one another. It's inspiring to see the growth and people graduating from days of just starting out and winning less than 50% of games online become stronger because we are applying football teaching together with a focus on learning what is reproducible inside a game's code. That's not easy, honestly. I'll have a film breakdown tomorrow out on talking about the most recent coverage updates I've installed from today's Twitch stream. I want to bring you more game tape/film study of tips in action with telestration. Again, thanks to everyone who's grinding this game. It's motivating.

Long post alert. A few thank you's as well. ❤️ I feel bad I've really just got into the TTV game for the season 3 weeks in. As you know, Gridiron always takes priority for me at launch as I am nose to grindstone on covering as much about the game as I can. I truly appreciate you all rocking with me when it's a bit more sporadic. There are lots of elite players grinding TTV right now and it inspires me genuinely when I see you all growing and locking in on your craft. It's also amazing that so many of you choose to hang out given the choices! Over on the Gridiron side I also owe thank you's. All this coverage work and feedback is paying off. Big time. It's collaborative. #Madden26 If you want to shut down every formation, WE WILL TELL YOU (not just me) what front, stunt, coverage call, and who your user/switch stick rules are. The Discord has kicked it up so much this year and there's basically coverage residents in there giving advice at most hours of the day. That way you can get perspectives other than yours/my own on topics. They are great and answering things I am not (MUT sets, upcoming content, etc...) Here's a montage of just some clips of just today's stream. Some of these guys had seriously competent route combinations. Others were your average online player. Either way, we faced everything.

I’m on a plane back from a week in Los Angeles and some lessons there shocked me. I met w/ a billionaire, Bryan Johnson, a top 10 podcaster, an A24 movie exec, and a Presidential candidate. 12 learnings from too many meetings to count in Hollywood: 1. LA is not dead. Far from it. I ran into 5 people who I needed to meet with at one hotel in 4 days. The epicenter of media may be disaggregating to Austin, NY and globally... but the density is still here. 2. Bryan Johnson is now one of my favorite humans. I hung with him at his house, tried his 20,000 crunches in 30 minutes machine, and talked about the purpose of life. The internet is a sad state that they don’t give him more credit. 3. Digital media today is like distributed news before cable news. We are at a tipping point for expansion in this digital industry. It feels somehow played out to those of us in it, but it’s just starting. 4. Hollywood is watching creators and UGC closely. I met w/ one exec who said in the not so distant future Netflix will have UGC on it. 5. may be this generation's Anthony Bourdain for thinking. I sat down with him and I think the work he’s doing on youtube is going to be something to watch... closely. 6. Buying boring businesses is not at all interesting to those in LA. BUT - asset accumulation and portfolios are. They buy assets (film rights, etc) all day. They are starting to think about the business of celebrities, creators and their work similar to how I think of investment management. 7. LA is a tale of two cities. I spoke at the convention center that was surrounded by derelict minority businesses and houses, then hung out at private members-only clubs that are all over West Hollywood where Lebron, Chris Voss and all the big timers play. The two places are 10 minutes away but an absolute world apart. 8. The mental health and drug crisis is out of control. Stroll along a downtown street and zombie after zombie trails. I saw people shitting and eating next to one another and across from a Starbucks. I asked our corporate host if this was “normal?” They replied, you stop noticing it after awhile. 9. Offices are completely empty. A friend got an office space for 50% off and more than 40% of the highrise is unoccupied. How odd that home prices are high, housing is really tough to come by, but office space is a blue ocean. 10. Met up with Tulsi Gabbard 🌺, a friend who was traveling to the border to see the situation live. I am grateful to have people fight for the truth even when it is unpopular. We need more leaders like her. 11. Every time I meet with a billionaire I realize all over again that to achieve that level of wealth, you cannot be normal. Truly. He’s weirdly comfortable with discomfort and complete lack of people pleasing. 12. The more I learn about the Kardashians in some ways, the more I respect them. I got the onion peeled back on their business dealings and they are some of the smartest dealmakers I’ve ever seen. Also I hate saying it because I believe gender games are net negative, but I wonder if they’d get so much hate if they weren’t females? I liked the idea of keeping a travel diary like my friend GREG ISENBERG does… Otherwise these moments pass like sand through my fingers. What do you think? I’m going to name it Where Have Ya Been or Lessons from the Road. Which do you like more?

Are anti race-mixing people just being mean and hateful for no reason? Or is there a positively-intentioned, scientifically-backed motivation for why they speak their mind on this matter, despite knowing the enormous public blowback, friendships destroyed, etc. that result from sharing such views? I am so glad you asked. STUDY DUMP 📚👇 Mixed race Black and White couples face higher odds of prematurity and low birth weight, which appear to contribute to the substantially higher demonstrated risk for stillbirth: Adolescents who identify themselves as mixed race are at higher health and behavior risk than those of 1 race: Mixed-race patients struggle to find marrow donors A variant of the gene ApoE4 is a strong genetic risk factor for early-onset Alzheimer's disease, and the characteristic most likely to raise or lower that risk is race: "Outbreeding Depression" - common postzygotic response following interracial mixing between two genetically-distant groups or populations, resulting in a reduction of fitness (stronger basis than supposed "hybrid vigor"): White/Asian couples face distinct pregnancy risks, Stanford/Packard study finds: 1/3 of White/Asian mixes suffer from mental illness: Most congenital problems are more common in mixed-race babies: Prematurity and Low Birth Weight are significantly more common in mixed-race babies: Mixed-race students experience the highest rates of anxiety/depression symptoms: Organ donations must be from person with the same race and similar genetics. Due to this, mixed-race people with peculiar genetic combinations face challenges when trying to receive organ donations: Teenagers who identify as mixed-race have greater health and behavioral risks than those who identify with only one race: Multiracial youths more likely to engage in violence, substance abuse than single-race counterparts: Success-rate in IVF & other fertility treatments varies massively based on ethnicity: White/Black babies are less healthy than White babies: Mixed race couples are more likely to have stillborn babies than same-race couples: White/Black children are more likely than both Blacks and Whites to make poor decisions: Mixed race kids suffer from low self-esteem, social isolation, and poor family dynamics: Mixed race children are more likely to have health problems, high stress, smoke, and drink: Interracial people cannot receive organ donations: Racial bias against miscegenation is likely biological in origin: Interracial marriages have a 23.5% chance of divorce, compared to 13% for same-race couples: 92% of biracial children with African fathers were born out of wedlock: Interracial couples face higher risks of marital dissolution: ... Some additional thoughts of my own on top of the scientific data above 👇 ⚪️ Did you know that if you interracially marry and have a mixed-race baby, you will be more genetically related to a stranger of your race than your own child? This leads to these mixed kids having difficulty connecting with either of their parents on a deep consciousness level, as their biological hardware doesn't match fully with either. Could this explain why the (((bad guys))) in control of our world who are so focused on breaking up the family, spend so much money pushing race-mixed couples in the movies, media, advertising, etc., especially to White Europeans? ⚪️ We are witnessing the early stages of a society-wide swing back toward racial consciousness, and as a result, racial-purity will skyrocket as a core criteria people consider in dating/relationships. Mixed-race people—who already feel "tribeless" and confused right now (during the peak highest point of social acceptance toward miscegenation)—will become further ostracized by this societal shift, leading to untold mental/emotional struggles for these individuals. (You can already find plentiful online communities and social media pages focused on the "mixed-race life", where miscegenated people basically cope together about how lost and detached they feel from their peers.) ⚪️ Certain rare genetic traits, such as blue/green eyes, are becoming critically-endangered as a result of race-mixing. Is it "evil" or "racist" to not want to see beautiful, unique traits go extinct? 🤔

The $AEGIS DApp portal is now open to all: 🛡️ At Aegis, we believe in empowering the blockchain full of security, transparency and innovation. The Aegis Dapp has been under development for several months prior to the launch of $AEGIS and with that we have been able to build what we believe has the potential to change how users go about their day to day security. We are thrilled to share our progress and truly exciting news with you all. 🎯 First things first, at Aegis, we want to make it clear that the value of what we seek to bring to security across the blockchain, comes from our big vision, our strong team, and our commitment to long-term goals. ℹ️ Let’s kick this off with some information that is constantly happening, which is behind the scenes. Our full team is dedicated to the opportunity that lays ahead of us with becoming the leading voice/name for security, grasping every aspect with innovation, hard work, passion and commitment to see this sector grow. Everyone is aware of how important security is, a heartwarming mention to Messari for including us on how they see this sector growing rapidly and pushing a 10 Billion evaluation. We take that recognition with full responsibility and gratitude as we've been working hard on some really powerful stuff that could change the game for our industry. If you read the title and report itself, I’m sure that’ll give you some insight to what’s coming, and to the vast extent of what you can expect Aegis to be working towards. —> 🤝 This comes from teaming up with others within this sector and coming up with new tech to projects driven by our community, within the pipeline you can be confident that what we are building will push the cryptocurrency industry as a whole into a better future, the magnitude to what Aegis brings will not stop until we can confidently say, “Negative security reports across the blockchain are at an all time low, thousands of users are satisfied that Aegis is protecting them and their assets.” We're sticking to our vision no matter what the market does or whatever else comes our way. We plan to build what we set out to and we will see to it that our ecosystem is met. We've been working on some pretty amazing products that will be available within our Dapp, let’s go over what we offer: * AI Audits * Live Monitoring * Penetration Testing * Bug Bounties * Live Watchdog * Token analytics for everyday users, developers, teams, auditors, institutions, investors. ⬇️ Let’s break it down for you in some simple steps: AI AUDITS: We have trained our LLM models as AI AGENTS, these consist of 3 people ( AI AGENTS ) for the audits that are performed. - Audit - Reviewer - Judge Each one analyzes with a different personality, let’s check what personalities our AI AGENTS consist of: 3 different perspective auditors. 1 - Fine-tuned model x amount reads the code and generates the audit. ✅ 2 - Model x amount reviews the code and fact checks thoroughly. ✅ 3 - Model x amount ranks the code based on the severity outcome. ✅ ⌚️ Live Monitoring/Watchdog: The Live Monitoring/Watchdog system is designed to provide real-time surveillance of smart contracts, ensuring the detection and prevention of any potentially harmful transactions or malicious activities. Through the utilization of an AI Agent model, the system is trained to proactively identify and thwart suspicious behavior, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the smart contracts. Also, a paid sophisticated threat detection model is available for more intricate protocols and Dapps, offering an advanced level of protection against potential threats. This proactive approach is crucial in mitigating the risk of exploitation and ensuring the security of the smart contract ecosystem. 🖊️ Pen Testing: Our platform offers Pen Testing services to developers, providing a controlled environment for whitehat hackers to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities in smart contracts and protocols. In addition to human whitehat hackers, our AI Agents function as Red and Blue teams, actively engaging in simulated attacks to stress-test protocols and identify potential weaknesses. This comprehensive approach allows developers to proactively identify and address security issues, ultimately enhancing the robustness and resilience of their projects. 🕷️ Bug Bounties: Our Bug Bounty listing platform provides developers with the opportunity to list their protocols and offer bounties to white hat hackers for identifying vulnerabilities. By aggregating millions of bounties from various platforms and utilizing AI tools, we streamline the testing process, reducing up to 80% of the workload typically associated with security testing.

The $AEGIS DApp portal is now open to all: 🛡️ At Aegis, we believe in empowering the blockchain full of security, transparency and innovation. The Aegis Dapp has been under development for several months prior to the launch of $AEGIS and with that we have been able to build what we believe has the potential to change how users go about their day to day security. We are thrilled to share our progress and truly exciting news with you all. 🎯 First things first, at Aegis, we want to make it clear that the value of what we seek to bring to security across the blockchain, comes from our big vision, our strong team, and our commitment to long-term goals. ℹ️ Let’s kick this off with some information that is constantly happening, which is behind the scenes. Our full team is dedicated to the opportunity that lays ahead of us with becoming the leading voice/name for security, grasping every aspect with innovation, hard work, passion and commitment to see this sector grow. Everyone is aware of how important security is, a heartwarming mention to Messari for including us on how they see this sector growing rapidly and pushing a 10 Billion evaluation. We take that recognition with full responsibility and gratitude as we've been working hard on some really powerful stuff that could change the game for our industry. If you read the title and report itself, I’m sure that’ll give you some insight to what’s coming, and to the vast extent of what you can expect Aegis to be working towards. —> 🤝 This comes from teaming up with others within this sector and coming up with new tech to projects driven by our community, within the pipeline you can be confident that what we are building will push the cryptocurrency industry as a whole into a better future, the magnitude to what Aegis brings will not stop until we can confidently say, “Negative security reports across the blockchain are at an all time low, thousands of users are satisfied that Aegis is protecting them and their assets.” We're sticking to our vision no matter what the market does or whatever else comes our way. We plan to build what we set out to and we will see to it that our ecosystem is met. We've been working on some pretty amazing products that will be available within our Dapp, let’s go over what we offer: * AI Audits * Live Monitoring * Penetration Testing * Bug Bounties * Live Watchdog * Token analytics for everyday users, developers, teams, auditors, institutions, investors. ⬇️ Let’s break it down for you in some simple steps: AI AUDITS: We have trained our LLM models as AI AGENTS, these consist of 3 people ( AI AGENTS ) for the audits that are performed. - Audit - Reviewer - Judge Each one analyzes with a different personality, let’s check what personalities our AI AGENTS consist of: 3 different perspective auditors. 1 - Fine-tuned model x amount reads the code and generates the audit. ✅ 2 - Model x amount reviews the code and fact checks thoroughly. ✅ 3 - Model x amount ranks the code based on the severity outcome. ✅ ⌚️ Live Monitoring/Watchdog: The Live Monitoring/Watchdog system is designed to provide real-time surveillance of smart contracts, ensuring the detection and prevention of any potentially harmful transactions or malicious activities. Through the utilization of an AI Agent model, the system is trained to proactively identify and thwart suspicious behavior, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the smart contracts. Also, a paid sophisticated threat detection model is available for more intricate protocols and Dapps, offering an advanced level of protection against potential threats. This proactive approach is crucial in mitigating the risk of exploitation and ensuring the security of the smart contract ecosystem. 🖊️ Pen Testing: Our platform offers Pen Testing services to developers, providing a controlled environment for whitehat hackers to simulate attacks and identify vulnerabilities in smart contracts and protocols. In addition to human whitehat hackers, our AI Agents function as Red and Blue teams, actively engaging in simulated attacks to stress-test protocols and identify potential weaknesses. This comprehensive approach allows developers to proactively identify and address security issues, ultimately enhancing the robustness and resilience of their projects. 🕷️ Bug Bounties: Our Bug Bounty listing platform provides developers with the opportunity to list their protocols and offer bounties to white hat hackers for identifying vulnerabilities. By aggregating millions of bounties from various platforms and utilizing AI tools, we streamline the testing process, reducing up to 80% of the workload typically associated with security testing. This allows developers to efficiently identify and address potential vulnerabilities in their protocols, ultimately enhancing the overall security and resilience of their projects. 🪙 And lot more token analytics features for regular users, this will give you the opportunity to explore our Dapp for yourself and have some fun diving into the security platform of the future!

This one is a must read. I hope the takeaway is, at minimum, eye opening. To any player/parent trying to navigate the recruiting process right now - here is some perspective for you. I came across this video recently on Twitter - It’s a video of Juan Soto when he was 16 years old in the Dominican Republic. (Credit to parker hageman for digging it up and posting it.) I decided to do an informal case study. I sent the Soto video to 13 high-level baseball evaluators - 4 current MLB scouts, 7 current and former D1 recruiting coordinators & head coaches, 1 former pro manager/ college head coach, and 1 current JC head coach. All guys that I know and trust to give honest feedback. I told them that I had just started working with this 16 year old international player and that I was hoping to get their feedback from an evaluation perspective. 3 of the 13 knew it was Soto from the video. Of the other 10, here were the results: - 1 current D1 coach said “He looks like he’s gonna get paid. I have money for a ’26 if he doesn’t want to sign with an MLB team. Somebody will pay that swing.” - 2 of them liked his physical upside and bat speed and said once he puts on some weight they think he’s got a chance. - 7 of them said something along the lines of… “He needs to go to a JC”, “he has too much effort in his swing”, “looks like he has some timing issues”, etc... The video was taken shortly before he signed for $1.5m with the Washington Nationals. He is a future Hall of Famer. Let that sink in for a moment. The question is, why were the majority of these college coaches and scouts flawed in their initial evaluation of the short video I sent them of a guy who signed for $1.5m with the Washington Nationals a few months later? - Are they bad evaluators? - Was the video not a good enough representation of Soto’s ability? - Was there not enough context as to his track record and other tools to make an informed evaluation? - Is it just difficult to evaluate a player off of 1 minute of video? - Did the fact that he is an international guy change things? - If he had hit 3 homers in this video reel would they have a different opinion? In all honesty, I wasn’t surprised by any of these responses. I might’ve said the same thing if I didn’t know it was Soto. It is likely a combination of multiple of the reasons I listed above… but the point I am trying to make here is this: I hear all the time from high school and JC players/parents about how frustrated, disappointed, or defeated they feel because they aren’t getting interest from college coaches, and because coaches don’t respond to their emails & DM’s. So here is the perspective that you need to understand: even Juan Soto’s video from a few months before signing a $1.5m contract didn’t garner the type of interest that you would expect. Are you better than Juan Soto was at 16 years old? Are you a future hall of fame caliber player? There are so many factors that go into the recruiting process. It is a multi-sided marketplace where each stakeholder (college coach and player) has to have a mutual need and interest in one another. Baseball is the hardest sport to evaluate and it’s not even close, IMO. Coaches and scouts are wrong all the time. Players can get exponentially better in a short period of time. It’s not always a pretty process, but all it takes is one coach to see something in you and want to invest in you. Dial in the things you can control. Make sure coaches to have the full picture of who you are as a player and why you can help them win. And don’t be upset when you get limited responses/feedback. It happened to Soto too - and he is much better than you.

🎙️ DJ Akademiks Reacts to J. Cole on “7PM in Brooklyn” Clears Up “First Person Shooter” Drama 👀 Here’s breakdown of what DJ Akademiks is saying about J. Cole, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar: 🔹 “First Person Shooter” Who Wanted Kendrick First? •Akademiks says Cole is clearing up a major narrative: •❌ It was NOT Cole pushing for Kendrick •✅ It was allegedly Drake (or his team) who originally wanted Kendrick on the record •According to the breakdown: •The song may have started as a Drake x Kendrick idea •Kendrick’s side wasn’t responding or moving on it •That’s when Drake pivoted to J. Cole 👉 This flips the narrative fans have been running with. 🔹 Akademiks: “Half Truths, Not Lies” 🤔 •Akademiks doesn’t call Cole a liar, but says: •He’s speaking in “half-truths” •Cole likely knew Kendrick was in the mix early on •Key point: •Cole mentioning Drake + Kendrick together suggests 👉 he had some awareness of the original plan 🔹 Drake’s Mindset at the Time 🧠 •If Drake was still trying to work with Kendrick in 2023: •There was no full-blown hatred yet •It may have been more about competition than beef •Akademiks take: Drake could’ve wanted Kendrick on the song just to out rap him, not avoid him. 🔹 J. Cole’s Position 🎯 •Cole says: •He received the beat by himself •There was no active 3 man version when he got it •He felt pressure to deliver for Drake and rewrote his verse multiple times 👉 Bottom line: •From Cole’s POV, it was always him + Drake when it got to him. 🔹 Dreamville Fest Context 🎤 •Another “half truth” Akademiks points out: •Drake was always planned to perform at Dreamville Fest •He backed out to avoid putting Cole in a tough public position 🔹 Schoolboy Q Rumor = FALSE ❌ •Akademiks shuts down the rumor involving ScHoolboy Q: •Claims Q “warned” Cole are completely made up •Origin traced back to internet/blog speculation (not Q himself) 🔥 Bigger Takeaway •There’s a mix of: •Half-truths •Misinterpretations •Flat-out rumors •But the key shift in the story: 👉 Drake may have wanted Kendrick FIRST… not Cole 💭 Final Thought This adds a new layer to the whole situation: •Drake → open to collaborating (even competitively) •Kendrick → possibly moving differently behind the scenes •Cole → caught in the middle of narratives he didn’t fully control
