crypto

I love the way you phrased it: "Now it feels like we're starting to aggregate intent"
This is exactly what's happening. DeFi has always had pretty clear intent of providing access to key financial services to anyone with an internet connection. This started with creating the building blocks and the "gears" that would power such an ecosystem. For years that was the primary focus; "Let's see if it's even possible." Now those building blocks have been built via thousands of projects and it has now become about utilizing AI to connect them in a way that achieves intent.
I see AI and its associated frameworks continuing to connect us across all chains, protocols, and assets to achieve base use cases that weren't achievable otherwise. I think we will see it fully evolve first via stablecoins because that is where the most everyday-user-value lies right now; then from there who knows.
To answer your question I don't think future users will even care what chain they're on because there are many current users who don't care what chain they are on. Most users don't care about technicalities only results - this creates a gap between those who understand the technology they're using and those who only care about an end result. I believe increasing value will be able to be derived from this gap.
People who say AI will kill crypto couldn't be more wrong. AI is how crypto achieves everything it was intended to do.

There is definitely a middle ground. I’m already using AI products specifically designed for crypto that analyze live on-chain data in real-time. It’s not 'AI vs. Crypto' at all—it’s more like AI is finally providing the better tooling we’ve needed to execute the same strategies more efficiently

soon AI stock will go down cause everyone is taking profit, and time for solana and eth

I just want my money to not disappear into the AI era

No he said his money is blocked but when I ask AI it said he put that money in a gambling platform. Idk how to check. Can u help me?

lokes AI made a mistake confusing abbreviations.

Holy AI Batman!

Like a lot of you, I came here from the GameStop days. I'm one of those buy-it-and-forget-it holders — longer time horizon, don't check it, let it sit. Which is great until the thing you parked your assets on winds down and you never got the memo. If that's you too, keep reading.
I only found out a couple of days ago that the Loopring Wallet app shut down back in July 2025, and that the DEX just fully shut down at the end of June. When I finally mustered the motivation to open the app and see what I could recover, it was showing me a $600+ ETH balance (stale price cache, but still — real ETH sitting in there). Figured I was a year too late and it was gone.
**It wasn't. I recovered everything today, and it cost me about a dollar in gas.** If you still have assets sitting in a Loopring Smart Wallet, read this before you write it off.
# My situation
* Loopring Smart Wallet (the mobile app), created back in the day
* ETH sitting on L1 inside the smart wallet contract
* App still installed on my phone (I actually had to go through their customer service to reactivate it when I switched phones — that mattered)
* Regular sends from the app? Dead. Kept getting "network connection unstable." Makes sense — the relayer that used to process wallet transactions is shut down. The app can show your balance but it can't send anymore.
# The escape hatch: Self-Help Transfer
Buried in the wallet settings there's an option called **Self-Help Transfer**. This is the feature the team built for exactly this scenario, and honestly — credit where it's due. A lot of projects would have just let users rot. Loopring shipped a way out.
Here's how it works: the app signs the transfer with your wallet's owner key (which lives on your phone), and instead of Loopring's servers submitting it to Ethereum, **you submit it yourself** from any regular wallet (MetaMask etc.) and you pay the gas. You basically become your own relayer.
# Heads up: the instructions in the app are broken
The Self-Help Transfer screen tells you to go to a web dApp at `tx.test.io`. **Do not go there.** That's a placeholder URL that never got updated — it's not a real Loopring site. Good news: you don't need it at all.
# What actually worked (step by step)
1. **Set up MetaMask** (or any EOA wallet) and fund it with \~$15–20 of ETH from an exchange. This pays the gas.
2. In the Loopring app: **Settings → Self-Help Transfer** → pick your asset → paste your MetaMask address → set the amount. It generates a QR code + a JSON string like `{"to":"0x...","data":"..."}`.
3. That `data` field is your signed transaction — but it's in Loopring's **compressed format** and can't be submitted as-is. It needs to be decompressed into standard calldata first. The format is simple once you know it: it's a zero-compression scheme where every `00` byte is followed by a count byte meaning "insert that many zero bytes here." Everything else passes through literally. I used AI to decode and verify mine (it also confirmed the recipient, amount, and signature inside the payload before I sent anything — do that sanity check).
4. In MetaMask: enable **Settings → Advanced → Show hex data**. Then Send → **To = your Loopring wallet contract address** → **Amount = 0 ETH** (yes, zero — the transfer instruction is inside the hex data, your ETH moves out of the smart contract, not out of MetaMask) → paste the decompressed calldata into the hex data field → confirm.
5. \~12 seconds later the ETH landed in my MetaMask. Verified on Etherscan (check the Internal Transactions tab on your wallet contract).
# Gotchas that almost got me
* **Do a small test first.** I sent 0.01 ETH before sweeping the rest. Cheap insurance.
* **The app's balance display is STALE.** After my test transfer, the app still showed my old balance. When I generated the full sweep using "All," it signed for more ETH than the wallet actually held — that transaction would have failed and wasted gas. **Type your exact current balance manually** (check Etherscan for the real number, down to the full decimals).
* **Submit payloads in the order you generate them.** Each one has an increasing nonce; firing a newer one kills the older ones.
* The signed payloads don't expire, so no need to panic-rush. But don't dawdle either — this whole path depends on the app still being on your phone.
# If you have L2 balances too
Self-Help Transfer only reaches **L1** assets. L2 balances are supposed to be handled by the team's wind-down distribution — they've said they'll publish a final balance list on X with a two-week window to flag discrepancies, then distribute to your associated L1 address with gas covered. Note there's a **$10 minimum**. My leftover L2 bag (a Dead-Frog coin — yes, I too am a degen) is worth about $7 now so it probably doesn't qualify — bygones. But if yours is meaningful: watch u/loopringorg, verify your balance when the list drops, and **keep the app installed**, because the distribution lands at your smart wallet contract and you'll need Self-Help Transfer one more time to move it out.
Also: go to **Settings → View Loopring L2 Key** and save a copy somewhere safe while the app still works. If you ever need to prove ownership of your L2 account during the wind-down, that's your proof.
# Bottom line
* **Don't delete the app. Don't reset that phone.** Your keys live there.
* Your L1 funds are NOT lost. The Self-Help Transfer path works, today, with the relayer fully dead.
* It costs almost nothing — I spent \~$1 in gas total across a test, the full sweep, and moving to an exchange.
Full transparency: **please don't ask me technical questions in the comments — I genuinely knew nothing going in.** I relied entirely on Claude (Fable 5) to walk me through every step of this, from decoding the payloads to verifying every transaction before I hit confirm. It even wrote this post, because yes, I'm lazy — sharing the experience mattered to me, typing it all out did not. The sentiment is 100% mine, the words mostly aren't. Just being honest. If you're stuck, do what I did: feed your situation to an AI and make it verify everything before you send anything.
Stoked I got all of my assets out. And glad past-me converted the LRC to ETH before bear season started, because that's the only reason there was something worth recovering. Thanks for your time, and good luck out there. 🫡

Brother, crypto has been crashing this entire year. And don’t expect next year to be any different. AI investment is all the rage right now. The only way crypto goes up is when AI bubble pops and investors move their money either back into crypto or other markets.

So, you said that all of this is developed by you with some assistance from AI, while the entire website show ton of signs of vibe coded websites?

I'm the developer, I'm a senior software engineer of 10 years with a Computer Science degree. It was built alongside AI pulling code from some of my more longstanding Nano projects, idk if that makes it vibecoded? I wouldn't say so, I stood up all the infrastructure myself and vetted every line of code.

It’s almost like a behavioral experiment in a way. If you give human beings a currency that in theory is designed to be indomitable by one party, instead of brainstorming on a new system’s potential people started stampeding to hijack a pyramid structure anyways.  Of course there are people with heads on their shoulders, but a lot lost their minds too and lost their life’s savings, started robbing Peter to pay Paul over rugpulling schemes and in general just got sheisty with it.  Even the idea of building data centers for AI and bitcoin miners is overall unnecessary behavior.  Like we can’t help but overcomplicate life for instant gratification at a masochistic expense… but I digress lol.

Could anyone explain to me why using AI for a post like that is a problem? I don't get it...

The person who invited me in was invited over by his good friend who has been using this app for 8 months, and his whole family bought USDC and is participating. They all together transferred more than $5,000 into this fraudulent AI app. The guy who has been pushing a button for 8 months was able to withdraw the initial $500 that he deposited at the start, but as I see now, his family will most likely lose everything they deposited as this can't be real. I personally have only $50 in USDC of my own money in it because that is the minimum to enter, and I was suspicious, but you can't really see what is going on until you enter the app and afterward the Telegram app to learn and share "progress." I could share an invite to Telegram, but I think if they see that you don't have an account on the app, they could block me, and I would lose that deposited USDC, and maybe the guy who invited me would also lose everything.

If someone (including AI) has your seed words you can expect an attempt will be made to crack your passphrase.
It does not need to contain BIP39 words, but following some process to come up with sufficient entropy is advisable; people are notoriously bad at making up difficult-to-guess sentences.
