Piteas

regarding the situation 👇 the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has now issued an official statement about the case, but the confidentiality order is still in effect. we have some information, although all of it still needs to be verified. - judging by the details, Interpol is also monitoring the investigation, and possible extradition to Finland is on the table. however, the initial investigation by local law enforcement needs to be completed first. this isn't a simple procedure. - as you can see from the final paragraph of the chief prosecutor's statement, this looks more like an operation based on an international wanted notice rather than a domestic criminal investigation. of course, if there are additional details, they'll become clearer over time. our initial impression is that since there doesn't appear to be a locally committed offense, the next step would involve negotiations with the country requesting extradition. - although this still needs confirmation, we believe Richard is in contact with his lawyers, which is important. they're the most reliable people to get actual official information from. in fact, the only truly accurate information will probably come from them, because most local reporting is just rushed, sensationalized content meant to generate headlines. personal take: Trump and Erdoğan have good bilateral relations, and assuming there are no serious, non-pardonable criminal offenses involved, i believe an official request could be received favorably. however, the Finnish authorities' position is also extremely important here, since Finland was the country that requested the Interpol Red Notice in the first place. hopefully his lawyers are considering this angle too, so Richard Heart can properly defend himself against all these allegations back in his home country, as he should be able to. once again, and i can't stress this enough: if you want actual official information, please try reaching out to his lawyers.

there’s so much absolute nonsense flying around right now. have you guys completely lost your minds? we’re in touch with the guys of our team who lives in Turkey, and they’ve also tried getting information through local sources, but that’s simply not how things work here. there’s currently a confidentiality order on the investigation, and the only realistic way to get information is through Richard’s lawyers or an official statement to the press. the initial detention period is usually around 3-4 days, although in certain circumstances it can be extended to 7. eventually, though, a decision has to be made on whether to formally arrest him or release him. from what we can tell, this detention appears to be part of a domestic investigation rather than an Interpol operation, but nothing is confirmed. some of you are taking a name found on a gun permit and making all kinds of ridiculous claims based on a name match. that’s just stupid. the name is extremely common, basically like John Doe. it could be the name Richard adopted if he obtained Turkish citizenship, or it could have absolutely nothing to do with him. we simply don't know. looking at the photos published in the news, there are also indications that a woman and a little girl may have been living in the same house. a pink jacket, handwritten notes that look like someone practicing English, etc. but the guns? that part is still hard to make sense of. anyway, we’re trying to get information about the case, but the confidentiality order makes everything much harder. so if you genuinely want answers, please try reaching out to his lawyers instead of inventing random theories. the attorneys who represented him in the SEC case might still be representing him. get facts, not theories! we’ve seen dozens of similar operations in Turkey over the past year or two. there’s practically news about financial crime investigations every single day. what we don't know is exactly which category this particular case falls into. also, let’s clear up a few things. i’ve seen people claiming that if Richard is a Turkish citizen, extradition would be impossible. that's not necessarily true. whether extradition happens can depend on the circumstances and discussions between the two governments. please stop taking a couple of legal provisions and presenting your interpretation as an absolute fact. there are plenty of real-world cases that show how complicated these things can be. seized materials are held as part of the investigation, and Turkey isn't quite the third-world country some of you seem to imagine. a few corrupt cops can't just walk away with the seized assets, nor can someone simply throw a few million dollars in bribes around and magically walk free. if we can find out the actual charges and details of the investigation, then we can start answering the real question: what happens next? he could face trial without being held in custody, be released under a travel ban while proceedings continue, be remanded in custody, or be released entirely. the only thing that really hurts is knowing he was so close to us and we didn't even have a single line of communication with him. we're ready to do whatever we legally can to help, but we can't stand against the rule of law. if he's released pending trial and needs a place to stay around here, our doors are open. a home, a hotel, whatever he needs. we genuinely hope he's innocent and gets released. so please, try contacting his lawyers for actual information, or seek assistance through the US consulate in Turkey. unfortunately, the confidentiality order on the case means there's very little we can do from here right now. we’ll do our best to stay updated.

if you’ve been having issues on PulseChain for the last 3 hours, here’s the reason so you don’t get misled by random noise 👇 one of the biggest RPC providers, @g4mm4io, is currently experiencing a bottleneck and they’re already working on a fix. many protocols, wallets, DEXs, and tools like DexScreener may also be affected if they rely on that RPC source for data processing. until it’s resolved, using alternative RPCs is the safer move. also, useful reminder: app / UI RPC and wallet RPC are not the same thing. fallback, read, and write flows can work through different RPC layers. the RPC used by the UI may be different from the RPC active in your web3 wallet. example: if the UI uses the official RPC, it can still fetch data. but if g4mm4 is active in your wallet, the confirmation modal may not trigger. on the Piteas side, there is no protocol issue. the UI automatically selects the most efficient RPC, and if an RPC is timing out, you’ll see a warning modal. we also pushed an update in the last hour. now, if the confirm stage doesn’t get a response, the app can detect the RPC-side issue and guide your wallet to add a working RPC. so yeah, it still finds the right path :) gg.

Piteas is the locomotive protocol of Pulsechain, and with the next upgrade, we’re coming for an even bigger slice of the trading pie. A lot of new stuff is on the way. Our internal LLM architecture was completed last week, and now we’ve started upgrading the main modules with the training data. Everything is being rebuilt from scratch, end to end. And yeah, it’s looking insanely clean. Also, let’s talk about something. We don’t find it weird that new guys in the ecosystem keep positioning themselves against Piteas and trying to build rival aggregators. We’re the most visible one here, so of course they want to copy us. But these comparisons are not things you prove with a few screenshots. We don’t have time to expose all of them one by one, but let this be clear: outputs shown without being calculated correctly, whether intentional or not, can get you labeled as a fraud. You should stop doing that. Some people will remember a very similar case from the past :) More than 10 dex aggregators popped up in the last year. Almost all of them were built with AI tools, meaning it wasn’t really personal skill, and the result was exactly what you’d expect: failure. Go build products Pulsechain actually needs. There are 10 different grocery stores on the same street, but not a single bar. That’s the example. Build something that doesn’t exist. Build something people actually need. Every protocol that stood beside us instead of standing against us grew, and will keep growing. But the ones that saw us as the enemy never made it anywhere. Sorry, facts! And lastly, please stop asking Claude, “hey, can you build me an aggregator like Piteas?”. Improve yourself first. Running a protocol is not something everyone can do, and AI still can’t do it for you.

we didn’t do a full post-mortem yet, but the tx behind the pump was an absolute clown show. same wallet first tested the contract on Ethereum, then ran it on Pulsechain. wallet was funded through Tornado too, which makes things even weirder for obvious reasons. the real disaster is exactly what you see in the image: that tx got completely eaten alive by bots. once again, someone aped in with zero routing awareness, and once again, a fat bag got donated straight to arb/mev bots. we’ve been screaming about this for years, but apparently the lesson still hasn’t landed. at this point, we just hope this wasn’t done by the person everyone is thinking of, because if it was, man... that looks insanely bad. routing is not some “yo Claude, spin me up a contract and let’s batch buy” type of thing. AI won’t solve this in a few hours. we’ve spent years in this trench. you need to understand the chain, the math, liquidity behavior, execution limits, and the nasty little paradoxes that come with routing size through fragmented liquidity. if you show up with a lazy batch-buy contract and no real routing brain behind it, you better be ready to get farmed. expensive lesson. again, again, and again. if you’re making size, use protocols that can route through multiple LP sources. split the order properly based on the correlation between input size and available liquidity. it’s your money. if you don’t respect it, the bots in this jungle definitely won’t. play smart.
