Why am I so passionate about @nbatopshot? It’s because this is the only collectible that really captures NBA history. Topshot started in 2020 and went in both directions, capturing history as it happens, while also reaching back thru the TV era to mint the greatest players & plays that came before it. IMO, I don’t believe the NBA will want another platform to start over & duplicate what has already been “minted”. This is it. A future NBA digital partner may happen, one that is steeped in collectible greatness, but they will build on top of what already exists. And IMO, the future is not stale images, but videos cataloging everything that has happened. The real play. I am not taking anything away from any other platform. We can all succeed. But one day, demand for these pieces of NBA history will overwhelm the supply that was minted years earlier. Cute

“@nbatopshot by Dapper Labs is leaning into those moments with two simultaneous releases built around some of the most recognizable plays the league has produced, from Ralph Sampson’s groundbreaking buzzer beater in 1986 to Ray Allen’s corner three that kept a championship season alive.” - @GritDaily apple.news/ArHKFM9x3QR6gQ-9C…

collectors are owners, not consumers. today we are stopping primary issuance for our NFL ALL DAY product, and announcing the signing of a new licensing agreement with the NFL - we will share details on this as the season approaches our partnerships with the NBA, NBPA, Disney, and other well-loved brands around the world continue at full force we @dapperlabs continue to believe that digital goods with cultural value will be one of the fastest-growing asset classes of the next decade but building the category correctly requires only moving forward in a way that protects the ownership economy to the 132,000 owners of nfl all day who have been with us so far: thank you. you built with us on hard mode. in the near future, you can expect improvements to the marketplace experience for your assets, including the launch of bulk purchases and better search – this is not the final chapter for NFL digital collectibles with careful stewardship and commitment to scarcity, digital collectibles will become a category on par with trading cards in cultural relevance and economic scale, with unique differences: guaranteed authenticity, 24/7 liquidity on marketplaces, real-time connection to the moments themselves, new ways to be rewarded for being early and being right, among others trading cards are a 100+ year old category: by that measure we are barely 5 minutes into the game.
Today we’re announcing that NFL ALL DAY Moments will no longer be issued. Click here for more details: blog.nflallday.com/posts/nfl…

What a way to ring in the New Year! 😅 Flow is fully operational, and I’m filled with gratitude for how this ecosystem responded. To the technical teams: what we pulled off this week wasn’t a simple network reboot. It was a surgical extraction of invalid state across two execution environments (Cadence + EVM) without wiping out legitimate history. That is an incredibly complex coordination problem to solve in real-time. (The full technical post-mortem will be live soon.) All with zero user funds compromised! This speaks volumes about the architecture… and the community surrounding it! Special thanks to the validators, the Core Team engineers, and the ecosystem partners who were available all hours of the night during the holidays. You folks define “resilience”. And for the rest of you: Go! Have fun! Flow is back online! 🎉

UPDATE: FLOW NETWORK FULLY OPERATIONAL - CADENCE AND EVM ENVIRONMENTS LIVE This milestone marks the completion of one of the most complex recovery operations in blockchain history. What was initially projected as a sequential, multi-day process has been executed in parallel, restoring both Cadence and EVM functionality while maintaining surgical precision in removing fraudulent assets and preserving legitimate transaction history. NETWORK STATUS: BOTH EXECUTION ENVIRONMENTS OPERATIONAL ✅ Cadence VM: LIVE ✅ Flow EVM: LIVE ✅ Phase 2 cleanup: Continuing in parallel with full network operation 🔄 Account restoration: Ongoing as individual verification completes 🔄 Fraudulent token remediation: In progress via transparent on-chain transactions Over 99.9% of accounts have full operational access across both Cadence and EVM environments. ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION IN PROGRESS DeFi ecosystem on Flow is resuming operations: Live: @KittyPunch_xyz and @IncrementFi DEXs are operational and processing transactions Resuming: Bridge partners are actively working on restoration protocols and expect to resume operations following final verification TECHNICAL POST-MORTEM A comprehensive technical post-mortem detailing the complete attack vector, forensic analysis and remediation approach will be published within 48 hours. NEXT STEPS → Cadence & EVM: Both environments operational, final account remediation ongoing → DeFi Protocols: Continuing staged resumption as verification completes → Bridge/exchange resumption at operator discretion → Phase 4: Complete ecosystem restoration expected this week The network is secure, operational, and processing transactions across both execution environments.

We bet big on Flow. All of our products – from NBA Top Shot, NFL ALL DAY, Disney Pinnacle, and CryptoKitties to our new slate of apps starting with @PeakMoney_ – are built on @flow_blockchain. This weekend, our bet was tested in public with a serious security incident. An attacker exploited a vulnerability in the execution layer to extract millions of dollars before being stopped thanks to coordinated action across the Flow ecosystem. What happened next is most important. Validators worked together to halt the network within 30 minutes. The exploit itself was identified and fixed rapidly by the Flow core development team, working with community developers (shoutout @bluesign). Over the following 48 hours, the Foundation, bridge operators, exchanges, and ecosystem builders worked toward consensus on remediation. Partners pushed back on early proposals. The approach evolved with input. No single entity could force the outcome. As of this morning, the network is fully operational on the Cadence environment with 99.9% of accounts fully restored and the rest being verified as we speak. Why does this matter? The entire thesis of Flow is safer rails for consumer finance: institutional-grade products accessible to people who shouldn't need a crypto education to not get wrecked. Security and process aren't features of that mission. They're core to the product. This weekend tested whether that's real or marketing. Consumer accounts were protected, the architecture isolated the damage, and the decentralized process held under genuine pressure. The foundation is stronger for having been tested—and the products that actually deliver Consumer DeFi to mainstream users haven't even shipped yet. Flow is live. Dapper users were secure throughout. Now the real work begins.

Flow’s token model just did a 180. Old: inflation. New: every transaction burns $FLOW.
we fucked up. we built apps with the world’s most-loved brands. protocols with millions of users onboarded and billions in volume. but our mistake was simple: not enough of the value flowed to the believers who made it possible. we’re fixing that now. not only have we started updating the economics of our core products, we are also building a new slate of products and protocols with value creation at their core. the moment we need is finally here. $300 billion in stablecoins. $30 billion in tokenized real-world assets. trillions more on the way. the infrastructure and liquidity exist. what doesn't are the right products. defi today is hostile. it demands technical mastery just to survive: slippage, mev, liquidation cascades. the list goes on. every interface is built by experts, for experts. everyone else is forced to stay on the sidelines. that's the gap we're filling. we've proven we can bring the benefits of crypto to mainstream users without asking them to become technical experts first. we've proven we make complex technology feel simple. now we’re applying it to the biggest market: money. @dapperlabs and @Flow_Blockchain are democratizing consumer defi. today, three big moves: first is a new open-source protocol being developed by Flow Foundation: Flow Credit Markets (FCM), a lending protocol that protects you instead of punishing you. traditional defi lending is punishing: it waits until you're underwater, then liquidates you and charges a penalty. FCM is active. it uses the native onchain automation on Flow to monitor every position continuously and rebalance automatically before the position is at risk of liquidation. so far backtesting against every major crash since 2020 see 100% survival rate and 99.9% cost reduction versus lending protocols on other networks. second is a product built on top of the foundation of FCM. peak money: the finance app for a generation that has stopped believing in banks. our generation watched the traditional path to wealth become mathematically out of reach. so we stopped playing by the old rules. turned investing into culture. bet on elections like sports, traded athletes like stocks, turned every opinion into a market. peak money is built to level the playing field. to give everyone access to the same opportunities available to crypto experts and soon, with the tokenization of the entire global finance markets, those used by hedge funds and billionaires too. banks make money from you. peak makes money for you. the product starts simple: deposit cash or crypto. earn more than any bank will pay you. earn and spend without selling. no minimums. no gatekeepers. no seed phrases. no liquidation fear. watch this space: @peakmoney_ last but not least: $FLOW tokenomics. liquidity moves freely between chains. the apps people use every day don't. we believe the most valuable cryptocurrency will be the native token of the network powering products people can't live without. for that to happen, the native token must align the people who build with the people who believe. for years, Flow subsidized growth with near-zero fees. that made sense when the priority was experimentation. now the priority is economic alignment. dapper labs supports FLIP-351 proposed by Flow Foundation, updating transaction fees on Flow to dramatically reduce token inflation and ultimately become deflationary at just 250 tps - all while remaining the lowest-cost network compared to its peers every transaction burns tokens. network activity creates scarcity. scarcity compounds value. believers benefit. infrastructure + application + economics. aligned at last.

Just... wow. The $TSHOT vault just passed 200,000 digital collectibles. When we launched $TSHOT, we honestly had no idea what to expect. To see the community embrace it and vault this many moments... it's overwhelming. We're beyond ecstatic. We're building something special. Is this the biggest vault in Web3 by volume? It might be. This kind of scale is only possible on @flow_blockchain. This is only the start. Thank you.
