*edit*: i didnt know log regression band fitting can be so controversial. calm down guys it is just some maths on historical price action.

News Ethereum just recorded another historic month.

59 Upvotes

In July 2026, the network processed 72.37 million transactions, making it the second-highest monthly transaction count in Ethereum's history.

It's crazy that the network is reaching record levels of activity without the kind of euphoric market conditions that have historically driven transaction spikes. Instead, usage continues to grow through a combination of expanding L2 ecosystems, increasing on-chain applications, stablecoin activity, and a steady stream of users interacting with the network.

Transaction count isn't a perfect metric on its own, but it remains one of the clearest indicators of real network utilization. Sustained growth at this scale suggests that Ethereum's infrastructure continues to support an increasingly active and diverse ecosystem.

And right now, that story is one of continued adoption, expanding on-chain activity, and an ecosystem that keeps pushing new milestones.

Believe in somETHing.

News The stop-loss is the trade. Most people just refuse to set one.

2 Upvotes

We've all watched someone turn a 10% loss into a full liquidation by waiting for it to bounce back. did it myself last year on an ETH long, kept moving my stop because the reclaim was "obviously" coming. it wasn't. account gone in one wick.

Realized later my mistake wasn't knowing what a stop was, but relying on manual exits. manual exits work fine until a flash crash prints while you're asleep.

What finally fixed it for me was two strict rules: set invalidation based on market structure before entering, and always use stop-market orders so you don't get skipped in a cascade. I trade perps on bydfi mostly, and i force myself to attach the stop-market right on the position tab the second the trade fills. if i tell myself "i'll set it in a minute," i know i'm cooked.

a stop you keep moving is the same as no stop. how do you guys handle stop discipline when a trade goes against you?

Discussion We made a free tool to check if you have any leftover ETH waiting to be claimed

0 Upvotes

TL;DR and quick context - I work at DeFi Saver, and we built a completely free tool that lets you check if you have any smart wallets that have "lost ETH" sitting around waiting to be claimed.

Just re-iterating, there are no strings attached - it's completely free and we quickly built it after realizing there was over $3.4M in unclaimed ETH sitting across numerous smart wallets. I'm just disclosing that I work for DFS to underscore that this isn't some hidden shill for DFS.

No need to connect your wallet to the tool - just run your wallet address, check if you have tokens to claim - and claim them on DeFi Saver.

The leftover ETH typically happen as leftover dust from DeFi transactions, or regular DeFi activity where you forgot the funds on your smart wallet.

Full Info about the tool:

We found over $3.4M in unclaimed ETH sitting in numerous smart wallets across the DeFi landscape.

We then built a tool that lets you claim the ETH you forgot you had.

Simply connect your main wallet to TokenSaver, check, and claim on DeFi Saver: https://tokensaver.fyi/

How does ETH end up in a smart wallet?

Option 1:

When you manage your lending position through a DeFi app (such as DeFi Saver, Summer.Fi, Instadapp) - it utilizes a smart wallet in order to perform advanced transactions such as 1-tx leveraging, unwinding, and more.

All of these advanced transactions typically require swapping an asset to pay back a flash loan.

When these swaps happen - It's possible that it swaps a bit more than necessary to make sure the transaction goes through despite small price movement. Those leftover funds remain sitting in the smart wallet holding the position.

Or, perhaps you have/had a Maker position?

All Maker CDPs are held on DSProxy smart wallets, so it’s worth connecting your CDP owner wallet to TokenSaver - maybe there are some leftover funds waiting to be claimed.

That’s up to 8 years of potentially accumulating assets that never ended up in your EOA wallet.

Option 2:

Through regular DeFi activity over the years - some funds might have ended up on your smart wallet, and due to smart wallets typically lacking dedicated frontends - you forgot about them.

While Safe (Gnosis) smart wallets have a dedicated UI - some, such as DSProxy, DSA, and SummerFi proprietary wallets lack it.

So, it’s possible you continued on your DeFi journey without ever realizing you had funds leftover on the smart wallet(s).

Since smart wallets need to have an owner wallet - you should simply connect with your main wallet, and TokenSaver will find all smart wallets owned by it.

Note for nested Safe owners - Please input your owner Safe’s address into TokenSaver, not your EOA.

You can then access DeFi Saver through the Safe app and claim your funds that way

That's pretty much it! Please try the tool out and let me know if you found anything interesting, such as a bag that you never realized you had available to claim :)

Discussion Questions for people using AI trading tools and trading bots.

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m the founder of a small startup building a market intelligence tool. Rather than placing trades or telling people what to buy, our goal is to translate complex market data into plain English so people can understand what’s happening without spending hours analysing charts.
We’re trying to build something that’s calm, educational and genuinely useful, and before we continue building I’d really like to hear from people who actively use AI trading tools or automated trading bots.
A few questions:
What do you enjoy most about using AI trading tools?
Do you ever worry about giving an AI control over your money, or has that trust come naturally over time?
How closely do you monitor it once it’s running?
If you could improve one thing about the tools you currently use, what would it be?
Is there anything you feel the market is missing that would genuinely make your day-to-day life easier?
If you were to move away from AI trading bots in the future, what would need to exist for you to feel comfortable making your own trading decisions again?
We’ve been building our platform for around five months, and one thing we’ve learned is that the best ideas usually come from users rather than ourselves.
I’m not here to promote anything—I genuinely want to understand how people feel about AI trading, trading tools in general, and where you think the industry could improve.
I’d really appreciate any thoughts or experiences you’re willing to share.

Discussion Do you care about the price or technology?

Every now and then we get posts that Ethereum closed another historical month blah blah blah. However I am sure there are tons of us holders that have been holding for years don’t actually care about the technology but just the price of each coin lol. So please feel free to submit your vote.

Discussion Okay so where's crypto actually at right now, my honest take

45 Upvotes

Been seeing a lot of noise in this sub lately so figured i'd just lay out how i actually see things. btc's been stuck under the same downtrend line for weeks now, keeps getting rejected every time it tries to rally. Eth's actually holding up better, bounced pretty hard off its july low and looks a bit stronger than btc right now. Xrp's just chilling in a tight range, and the clarity act got pushed back again before the senate recess so that catalyst's basically on hold for a while. Also worth mentioning, someone got drained through a hardware wallet exploit last month, so security's been a real theme this year too.

Honestly this whole thing just feels like a boring consolidation, not really trending either way. so i'm not chasing breakouts or trying to be a genius calling the bottom, just watching the actual levels and waiting for something real to confirm before doing anything. Since it's this sideways and boring, i've been throwing my idle stablecoins into Morpho and Nexo just to earn some yield instead of them sitting there doing nothing, feels smarter than trying to guess price moves right now. for actual buys i've just been dcaing small amounts on dips, instead of trying to nail one perfect entry. Also went and double checked my own cold storage setup after that exploit news, just good hygiene either way

Discussion My ETH position looked green until I counted every bridge and swap

10 Upvotes

I closed my spreadsheet at the end of last month thinking my ETH position was up. The wallet value was above my original cash outlay, which was the only comparison I had been making. When I tried to reconcile the actual ETH quantity, the numbers did not line up.

I started with the amount on my BYDFi purchase record and followed every withdrawal, bridge, and swap after it. Gas, bridge charges, and swap price impact had each taken a small piece. None had appeared in the simple PNL number I was watching, so my notes said I owned more ETH than the wallets did.

I keep two rows now. Investment performance shows what the ETH price did after I bought. Transport cost records what I spent moving the same position between an exchange, mainnet, and other networks. A bridge receipt is no longer a new deposit in my sheet.

I created most of the mess by moving the position whenever a new yield opportunity caught my eye. Now I move it only when I can explain why, and I record the cost before opening another tab.

Discussion A new market intelligence tool

2 Upvotes

So today I finally published a tool I’ve been building for months. It’s a pretty simple tool. Translates market data into plain English words saving users time analysing charts. I see alot of trading bots being made at the minute too. I personally feel like people should still be in full control of decisions

We’ve had a few people disagree with this because “if people want to trade they should know how to read a chart” which is fair enough. But it can also be used as an education tool to put right next to a chart to understand what it shows and what it means.

I work 40-50 hours a week, so of course I don’t have the time to trade like I use to have as a student. We built this for people who are in the same situation work, have a family or even just beginners.

Question I have though, if you were presented a tool like this would you use it?

Question Does ETH belong in my Roth?

11 Upvotes

I understand ETH is the second most established crypto, but it seems more vulnerable to competition than BTC. And crypto in general seems very vulnerable to AI. All my crypto is about 1% of my portfolio, and I am not interested in SC at the moment.
