Humanity Protocol, Kelp DAO stolen funds commingle – Same attacker?

Humanity Protocol, Kelp DAO stolen funds commingle – Same attacker?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we might be able to increase adoption of Cardano…
Recently I noted the role that memecoins play in proving a network’s capabilities to the rest of the industry…
Today it hit me that DAOs might be a viable angle for achieving that same function.
A brand new casino opens in Las Vegas and gamblers come from all over to take their chance at wife/life-changing money. They bring their gambler-energy with them. This is meme coins.
A new tech corporation opens in India and they employ 1,000 people. They decide to incentivize talent to come and stay in their organization by giving them tokenized stake, voting power, and other perks within the company. They bring their much more serious and good-faith energy as opposed to the meme degens. This is a DAO, and I can see it being a viable means of not just growing adoption, but higher-quality, stickier adoption than someone trying to YOLO their life savings on a moonshot.
Thoughts? Agree? Disagree?

**Olympia Upgrade — June 2026 Development Checkpoint**
Multi-client stability continued through June 2026 LTS codebases. All four Olympia execution clients are stable, peered, and advertising Olympia as the next hardfork on the wire — with Nethermind joining this month as a fourth independent client.
* 🟢 Fukuii v0.8.x — Primary. Multi-EVM architecture — dual Ethereum Classic (PoW) and Ethereum (PoS) execution from a single client. ETH/68 and ETH/69+ on ETC mainnet; ETH/70 wire added for ETH/Sepolia. Scala 3.9 LTS readiness sprint. Purpose-built for ETC — the primary client for the Olympia era. [fukuii.com](http://fukuii.com)
* 🟠 Core-Geth v1.13.x — Stable, peered, resolves v1.12.x known issues. Final core-geth series before sunsetting, carrying Olympia support through transition. [github.com/ethereumclassic/core-geth](http://github.com/ethereumclassic/core-geth)
* 🔵 Besu v26.5.x — Stable, peered. Upstream ETH/69+ PoW compatibility maintained.
* 🟣 Nethermind v1.39.x — New reference client via ETC overlay. Peered and advertising Olympia.
The Olympia upgrade gives Ethereum Classic the tools to sustain what it's always been — the original, immutable, Proof-of-Work Ethereum. Delivering production-grade infrastructure for miners, mining pools, exchanges, infrastructure providers, institutions, and custody platforms.

**What changed since May**
* Nethermind added as a fourth independent client via ETC overlay — peered and advertising Olympia, broadening client diversity ahead of activation
* Fukuii ETH/70 wire added for ETH/Sepolia, extending the ETH/68 → ETH/69+ → ETH/70 lineage across both PoW (ETC) and PoS (ETH) sides
* Scala 3.9 LTS readiness sprint — multi-network and modernization refactoring across the Fukuii codebase
* Core-Geth v1.13.0 confirmed as the final series before sunsetting; Olympia support carried through the transition
* Futarchy (ECIP-1117) — continued development on decision-market governance
* Critical security patches, performance hardening, and dependency modernization across the full client stack
* All four clients advertising Olympia as next hardfork on the network (ECIP-1111, ECIP-1112, ECIP-1121)
**Working Demo infrastructure — live on Mordor testnet**
🏛 [olympiatreasury.org](http://olympiatreasury.org) — Immutable treasury contract. Deployed and accumulating. (ECIP-1112)
🗳 [olympiadao.org](http://olympiadao.org) — On-chain governance. Proposals, voting, execution — all on-chain. (ECIP-1113, ECIP-1114, ECIP-1119)
**Institutional Coordinating Organizations**
⚖ [ethereumclassicdao.org](http://ethereumclassicdao.org) — Wyoming DAO LLC. Institutional portal for Ethereum Classic — regulatory framework, leadership, coordinating organizations, and the open, permissionless, regulatory-compliant governance architecture for the only Proof-of-Work smart contract platform.
**Post-Olympia roadmap**
ETC's core software returns to head-of-branch development following the 2024 maintenance period. Alongside full-stack client work, the post-Olympia EL plugin roadmap covers upstream ETC compatibility layers for Go-Ethereum, Nethermind, Erigon, Besu, and Reth — with June's Nethermind overlay an early proof point.
**What's next**
Continued client hardening and infrastructure modernization. Continued futarchy (ECIP-1117) development. Mordor testnet migration to a post-Olympia environment is in preparation. On track for ETC mainnet activation before 2027.

I like what you do and I endorsed you! Keep it up and give back to the DAO.

I think the question is: what has the Web3 Foundation contributed to the very essence of its ultimate function, as reflected in its name—Web3? What have they done to promote equality, individuality, open governance, and sharing?
When a whale controls all the voting power, when initiatives like Decentralized Voices, the Polkadot Community Fellowships, and ambassador programmes worldwide are abandoned, cancelled, sunsetted, and left unfunded, how can they be promoting the ethos of Web3?
How is it consistent with Web3 values when passionate community members and enthusiasts end up working for free to promote the ecosystem, with zero credit or remuneration, how is that aligned with Web3?
When popular, user-centred systems are suddenly not supported (Polkassembly), and when their very summit is a closed, private hub, what actually is their contribution?
Because as it stands now, Polkadot is a private, centralized, autocratic software company. It is **not** a DAO.
