🚀 Arbitrum price skyrockets after DeFi whale starts ARB accumulation

Arbitrum's (ARB) price skyrocketed by 9%, significantly outperforming the market’s overall 1.5% gain on June 2nd. This surge can be attributed to a notable DeFi whale, Andrew Kang, the co-founder of Mechanism Capital, diving in with an impressive $1 million deposit into Arbitrum pools. However, market-watchers are questioning whether the ARB rally is sustainable, given a potential bear flag formation.

May saw a huge surge in crypto "rug pull" scams, outdoing losses from DeFi exploits.

Meanwhile, DeFi protocols faced 10 attacks, netting hackers only $19.7 million, showing a nearly 80% decrease from April. The largest rug pull involved crypto project Fintoch allegedly making off with $32 million.

💥 Marathon Digital's Bitcoin Harvest Soars by 77%

Thanks to their proprietary software, Marathon Digital Holdings saw a 77% surge in Bitcoin mining in May. High transaction fees and rising demand for block space, driven by the popularity of Ordinals on the Bitcoin blockchain, played a significant role in this performance boost.

What is quadratic funding?

Quadratic Funding is this cool democratic way of crowdfunding that promotes fair and inclusive funding for stuff we all use like open-source software, scientific research, and public art. The idea is to gather small donations from a bunch of people and then have those matched by larger sums from sponsors. The more people that chip in, the more generous the matching funds, so it encourages lots of people to give a little rather than a few rich folks to give a lot.

For example, there's this platform called Gitcoin that uses a quadratic formula to divvy up funds. They reward projects that get a lot of small donations, which is great for funding smaller, less known projects and supporting the growth of the open-source community.
