This badge signals the breaking point in the battle for trader sovereignty. In July 2025, MEXC Exchange unlawfully froze over $3 million in funds belonging to The White Whale - a prominent trader known for his high-level profitability and for exposing the darker underbelly of the crypto industry. The offense? Trading too effectively against MEXC’s external market makers - quant firms tasked with providing “liquidity,” but whose real role is to tilt the game in the house’s favor. Rather than honor withdrawals, MEXC retaliated. No violations. No transparency. Just silence and seized capital. By claiming this POAP, you stand with every trader whose funds were frozen, whose success was penalized, and whose autonomy was erased by offshore exchanges hiding in lawless jurisdictions. This badge is more than a symbol. It’s a statement: We are not exit liquidity. We are not prey. We are the tide.

On February 28, 2024, Coinbase Cloud announced that they were adding support for additional Ethereum execution clients, with Nethermind, and eventually other clients like Erigon. Coinbase has repeatedly shown a deep commitment to the success of the Ethereum network and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship. This commitment builds on Coinbase's previous shift in conensus client diversity and is a big milestone toward ensuring the predictable operation of the Ethereum chain for decades to come.

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/
