AF Perps is coming back and the pre-deposit vault is already filling up.
Deposit USDC to earn boosted Aftermath Points and additional launch incentives:
aftermath.finance/pre-deposits
The afLP vault is capped at 2M.
Thanks to everyone getting in early and backing the relaunch.
Inspired by the gmonad site, today I'm releasing World Wide Sui.
worldwidesui.wal.app
I've been building on @SuiNetwork for years and still see ,any people who don't know how sui txs work or what it costs. So I made something that shows it.
The whole site lives on @WalrusProtocol. The HTML is a blob on Walrus, served through a .wal.app portal, and the site itself is an object on sui mainnet.
Numbers come live from a mainnet fullnode. 125 validators on a globe you can drag, a new checkpoint about every fifth of a second. And roughly 1 in 5 transactions get paid by the network, because storage is a deposit you get back when you free state.
I translated the DAG into terms people already know, checkpoints as blocks and checkpoint gap as block time.
If anyone has any requests or expanding it, feel free to reach out.
As Aftermath ramps up for relaunching perpetual trading, we're hosting a space on Thursday, July 23 at 11:00 AM ET. It will be an update and a Q&A session. The recording will be posted afterwards.
If you'd like to join, hit the reminder link below
afLP pre-deposits are now open! Deposit USDC now to become eligible for Aftermath points and incentives after our Perps v2 mainnet launch.

We've published a sheet of every affected account: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
If you're affected, review your row before claim opens Monday so we can minimize inconsistencies.
Some balances may need reconciling because of withdrawals taken during the under-collateralized window.
If your amount looks incorrect, open a ticket on our Discord or DM us on X with your transaction.
Aftermath Postmortem
On April 29th, Aftermath experienced an isolated security incident in the integrator feature of AF Perps.
All other products (afSui, Pools, Farms, Agg, SOR) are completely unaffected & all users will be made whole.
This has been a scary week for crypto. AI tooling is developing rapidly, and we were among the almost a dozen protocols affected by hacks. We’re hopeful that by sharing our experience, we can help the broader crypto community learn and build back stronger.
Root Cause
The root cause was a signed integer issue in the integrator accounting logic. A malicious user was able to create their own integrator with a negative taker fee. This negative fee is then credited to a newly created account, which can be freely withdrawn from the vault.
This issue was introduced as part of a diff on August 29, 2025. The changes were audited by @osec_io in Nov 2025, but the issue was unfortunately missed.
Timeline
The attacker (suivision.xyz/account/0x1a65…) was first funded on 04-28 22:02:07 UTC with 405.24 SUI.
At 04-29 08:21:48 UTC, the attacker swapped 300 SUI for ~278 USDC via the SOR to obtain seed collateral for opening perp positions.
From 04-29 08:55:50 UTC to 09:31:49 UTC, the attacker drained ~1,139,927 USDC from AFperps across 17 attempts (11 successful, 6 failed).
Each of the 11 successful transactions was a single PTB that opened two accounts, registered the attacker as their own integrator with a negative 100,000 taker fee, executed a market order that crossed against a real counterparty’s maker order, then withdrew the resulting synthetic collateral as real USDC.
From 04-29 09:22:23 UTC to 10:45:22 UTC, the attacker laundered the proceeds through fresh single-use wallets and DEX swaps before depositing to Binance (suivision.xyz/account/0x9350…) (~$250K USDC), KuCoin (suivision.xyz/account/0x13c0…) (~$400K USDC), Huobi (suivision.xyz/account/0xe5c0…) (HTX) (~150K SUI), and HitBTC (suivision.xyz/account/0x8612…) (~$150K USDC).
Next Steps
Out of an abundance of caution, we’re conducting an additional audit before relaunching AFperps with a separate company. That being said, we also recognize that manual review alone is insufficient in 2026.
We are investing heavily to improve our AI-security workflows. AI tooling is developing rapidly, and we were among the almost a dozen protocols affected by hacks this week.
We’re thankful to all of our partners for their rapid response and help. In particular, Blockaid, ZeroShadow, OtterSec, Sui Foundation, and Mysten Labs.
Roughly 1 in every 8 transactions on @SuiNetwork is are Aftermath perps txs.
Aftermath also accounts for almost 12% of all gas used on the network.
With over 20 markets live, there’s never been a better time to trade on Aftermath.
aftermath.finance/perpetuals
Epoch 5 rewards are live. Rewards + Points for afLP, Makers, and Takers have all been distributed, on top of AF farms incentives being replenished.
Every reward goes directly to the users trading and providing liquidity on Aftermath. Check your incentives and points: aftermath.finance/rewards
Sui isn't at 100MIST yet and we can already see the benefit of lower gas on the network. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but maybe 25MIST is the target.
Plug this into any LLM: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and trade @AftermathFi perps in plain English.
"What's BTC funding?"
"Limit buy 0.01 BTC at $50 under mid."
"Close all positions."
+ paper trading included!

We are excited to announce that @AftermathFi, the perp exchange and @SuiNetwork validator, are proposing an 80% cut to Sui's RGP.
We ask all @SuiNetwork validators to reduce their RGP to ≤ 100 MIST.
We believe that this is both the right step and the right moment to align Sui with the rest of the market.
Here's why: Sui today charges ~6x more than Solana for a simple transfer, despite having the competitive edge when it comes to faster finality, parallel execution, and greater flexibility through PTBs.
A single order on Phoenix (Solana) costs $0.0011. On Aftermath, $0.0018. Both products have been heavily optimized for their respective stack. The remaining cost imbalance is due to how either chain charges for computation.
Shouldn't we be incentivizing on-chain activity?
After less than two months, Aftermath already consumes ~10% of Sui's daily gas. ~216k txs/day, ~2.1M on-chain events/day, 15 live markets across crypto, equities, and commodities. All fully on-chain. All paying gas on every quote, cancel, and fill.
Lowering gas doesn't just save money for existing users; it unlocks entirely new participants - market makers, institutions, agents traders - who were previously priced out of high-frequency trading on Sui.
Let's make Sui the home for onchain financial trading.
