I opened a Stellarterm account two days ago, shared the secret key to no one and opened no link or else.

Someone connected to my account, made swaps and sent all the funds in xlm to various wallets to and more specifically to the ending one related to Coinbase. How can that be possible????

All gone, sad to loose the high trust I had in Stellar ...

Probably not the correct place to ask but hoping y'all can help.

I wanted to send all of my XLM from lobstr to another wallet. All but about 1.5 sent after I selected send maximum.

Any idea why it didn't send all of it? Other wallets can be emptied completely.

Thanks all!

Is this a pretty solid ecosystem/partnership chart, based on the information that’s available?

I bought some SHX recently on ETH didn't realize they had it on XLM as well ? ETH gas fees kind of suck so other than SHX on XLM not having gas fees any other differences ? Thanks.

DeFi on Stellar is here!

TL;DR: While migrating my assets from a Stellar "Classic" liquidity pool to a new Aquarius LP, I unwittingly deposited my very-unequal assets into a stable liquidity pool and was immediately arbitraged into oblivion, losing about $42k worth in the process.

---

I never thought it would happen to me.

(That's a lie; I always knew this would happen to me eventually.)

BACKGROUND

I've been a loyal holder of XLM for years, and an AQUA holder for most of that time too. A few years ago I began parking my assets in an XLM/AQUA liquidity pool as a safer alternative to day-trading and because the XLM/AQUA pair receives (or used to receive) bonus AQUA automatically deposited into my Stellar wallet. Insert money; receive money. Can't lose.

This applied to the "classic" Stellar liquidity pools. On January 20, 2025, Aquarius Proposal #98 passed, which shifted the AQUA rewards to Aquarius pools; the "classic" pools would no longer receive bonus AQUA.

https://preview.redd.it/o2dl8uv5ayfe1.png?width=1182&format=png&auto=webp&s=bfd894a34d59ebcf9c7057d5bc0ba13c13429e52

I don't monitor the various Aquarius proposals very closely (they often seem to be esoteric and of interest to bonafide market makers, of which I'm not), but I did notice my Stellar wallet stopped receiving bonus AQUA around that time. Inquiring in the Aquarius Discord server I was told to migrate to Aquarius AMMs to continue receiving bonus AQUA.

To keep that sweet, sweet bonus AQUA a-comin' I dutifully obeyed: time to migrate.

MANUAL MIGRATION

I am, sometimes, a cautious man. My first step was to migrate over a portion of my pooled XLM/AQUA from the "classic" pool into the Aquarius pool.

Before continuing, here is an example of how liquidity pools are arrayed in StellarX, the frontend I most often use:

Pools automatically ordered by volume.

All very reasonable: find the pool for a particular asset pair, select the pool, perform operations, repeat as necessary. I removed a portion of my pooled assets so they were safely in my wallet and opened the Aquarius site to import them. The Aquarius landing page operates similarly to that of StellarX: find your pair and deposit or withdraw. It is an open protocol and anyone can create a pool for any pair their like, but the pairs are automatically ranked by volume so, humans being mimetic creatures, you can be confident you're selecting what you probably want to select.

This makes sense and aligns with expectations.

It's all going swimmingly.

This initial migration went off without a hitch: the XLM and AQUA were deposited to the pool successfully. Proof-of-concept complete, it's time to migrate the remainder (which constituted the vast majority).

AUTOMATIC MIGRATION (INTO HELL)

The Aquarius team helpfully provides an automatic "Classic-to-Aquarius" migration tool. To access it you simply select your desired asset pair on the Aquarius site while logged in and if you have assets in the corresponding Classic pool it will prompt you to migrate them over using their special migration tool. This method was also recommended to me by a moderator in the Aquarius Discord server.

The eight most terrifying words in the English language: \"I'm from Soroban, and I'm here to help.\"

Why not? I followed the prompt to perform the automatic migration. After selecting the desired amount to migrate (100%) I was presented with this:

Curious.

People who are very familiar with liquidity pools may look on this image with a mixture of bewilderment and horror. I was not someone who is very familiar with liquidity pools. For the uninitiated: in a "stable" liquidity pool, the paired assets are definitionally of the same value. XLM being about 300-times the value of AQUA, they are not equal.

I wasn't expecting this. Why are there multiple dropdowns? Why are they all of XLM/AQUA? What am I supposed to do to continue the process? My experience with StellarX didn't prepare me for this.

Here is where I should have slowed down. I should have taken some time to consider, perhaps even ponder. I did not slow down, and my best explanation is that when you have six figures of assets "in flight" you want the process done as quickly as possible. If you need to physically move a concerning amount of cash from Point A to Point B you generally want the process done as quickly as possible to minimize the time during which the money is in limbo. This doesn't make rational sense in this case, but it makes perfect sense to my irrational monkey brain.

I selected the first option. After all, it has the reassuring green badge! And it says STABLE! While the others have mean-looking yellow badges saying VOLATILE. Boo! In the modern web we're conditioned to identify a specific pattern: one verified/trusted search result, often marked by a reassuring green or blue badge, placed above a multitude of "not-what-you-want" options. Thus my mildly-anxious brain did what came naturally and selected the first option.

Its orders in hand, the migration tool solemnly went about its grim work. From somewhere--I'm not sure where--I heard a faint Latin oath whispered and my digital assets were cast into the digital furnace.

I was shuttled to the "My Liquidity" page. Immediately something was off: why are there two "XLM/AQUA" pools? Why is the "stable" pool fluctuating wildly in its estimated value? Is this air I'm breathing? I quickly ran to the Aquarius Discord server for help and a mod relayed to me the sad truth: I had deposited very-unequal assets into a stable liquidity pool (where the assets are definitionally equal) and was immediately arbitraged to hell. When the dust had settled I had lost $42k worth of assets in a matter of seconds.

Interested parties can see the carnage play out by inspecting the liquidity pool: https://stellar.expert/explorer/public/contract/CDKVJYMN34ZIEXSLNFYHVAFF6M6FM5E2U6OHXOTBKH2WLBULXOE53YDP (the fun begins on Jan 25, 12:41 UTC).

AFTERMATH

After learning (the hard way) what I done did, I withdrew my assets from the stable pool. I hear the Aquarius team has temporarily suspended deposits to that specific pool and that they're working on UI/UX adjustments to dissuade users from instantly nuking their deposits in this way; I don't know if there's a long term plan to reduce the likelihood of this happening again.

Personally, I plunged into a deep depression from which I'm only starting to exit. To be honest I'm still kind of numb and I don't seem to find even the dankest memes funny. But others have lost more, and all I can do is move forward and try to rebuild, now with hard-won knowledge about the difference between "stable" and "volatile" liquidity pools. I think my best route is to make extremely large and irresponsible bets on sports--I have a good feeling about Philly over Kansas City in the big game.

TAKEAWAYS

• Be careful
• Don't be not-careful
• Learn the difference between stable and volatile LPs, if you don't currently know
• Do not follow the advice of Peppy Hare: never trust your instincts

Thank you for coming to my DED talk.

Hi everyone! Was playing on the chart a few weeks back and noticed that historically XLM is continually rejected at the $18 billion market cap region. Anyone else noticed this? Do we think we’re gonna go by it this time? Not looking to spread FUD just looking for some insights outside of my own brain. Once I noticed that confluence , I got a little bit nervous. TIA

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I'm facing. I'm currently working on figuring out my taxes. I am trying to find the average for my stellar on my ledger account. While looking through my transactions it saids I received roughly 8000 XLM ( 2 different transactions) from a HITBTC account. I'm not too what account this is, I've never used HITBTC. I know I was the one that sent the coins to my ledger but the source account seems odd. If anyone can help me I greatly appreciate it. Thanks I'm advance for any input.
