> **Video Content:** The video is a static image sequence with no actual motion or scene progression, holding the same dark frame throughout with a faint blue dotted circular pattern in the background. The text reads "DeFi liquidity is broken" at the top and "The solution is coming" at the bottom, remaining unchanged across all frames. No tickers, numbers, or names appear in the video itself.

> "Your position keeps falling out of range? Here's why.

A slow, one-directional price drift over the week is what strands LP positions. Sharp moves that snap back leave a position in range. Measured against ETH as the reference, research from 1inch and

> **Visual Note:** A text-based infographic summarizes the dispute between Russian-born 1inch co-founder Anton Bukov and the 1inch team over his departure, noting his claim of remaining a 50% shareholder and his new pre-launch venture "Second Tier." It directly supports the post's skepticism by highlighting that Bukov, despite his foundational role in 1inch's core algorithm, has launched a new project (@tier_xyz) on the "intent execution" track—a sector the poster warns is prone to producing "doomed projects."

Positioned in the intent execution track  

It's also a track that loves to produce "doomed projects"

> **Video Content:** The video shows a clear water droplet resting on a white surface, which then ripples and spreads outward, gradually flattening into a ring-like ripple as the disturbance dissipates. There is no on-screen text, tickers, numbers, or names visible in the footage.

> **Visual Note:** The image is a profile card for Anton Bukov (@k06a), a protocol architect and co-founder of 1inch (1INCH), who is now building Second Tier (@tier_xyz). The profile, shown against a backdrop of horse imagery, highlights his credentials—referenced in the post praising him and the tier_xyz team as experienced professionals behind one of crypto's notable airdrops.

@k06a
, one of the founders of 1inch, is now building Second Tier. I've followed the project and will be keeping a close eye on its progress.

You probably know the 1inch team already ~ they're true professionals, and their airdrop was one of the few that made"

> **Visual Note:** The image displays four key statistics on a black background: "29.5% Mean Out-of-Range 26 Weeks · TVL-Weighted," "$542M Idle · Avg Week Four Protocols," "~85% Underutilized · V3-Family," and "~$150M Forgone Fees / Yr Across All Venues." These figures visually reinforce the post's message about the significant inefficiency in DeFi concentrated liquidity, highlighting that nearly 30% of liquidity is inactive, resulting in $542M sitting idle weekly and approximately $150M in lost annual fees.  

> 
> "DeFi has a hidden problem that almost nobody is talking about  

According to research by Dune and 
@1inch
 29.5% of concentrated liquidity sits completely out of range earning nothing  

That's roughly $542M sitting idle every single week  Even worse  

Around $150M in fees are"

> "Anton Bukov, former co-founder of 1inch, has admitted to leaving 1inch back in November 2025. I'm sure the longtime folks still remember that big 1inch Airdrop back in 2020.

> **Video Content:** A motion designer previews an animation sequence on a laptop with red backlighting, showcasing a "Don't blink" warning with a closing eye graphic at the start and end of the clip. In between, a series of cryptocurrency-themed messages flashes on screen, including "You are holding [coin symbol] on Polygon," "You want [coin symbol] On Solana," and "Don't" text prompts, all timed to the beat. The video demonstrates a polished motion design system for the 1inch DeFi swap platform, highlighting blockchain network transitions and coin swaps.

> **Visual Note:** Twitter/X profile for Anton Bukov (@k06a), co-founder of 1inch, with banner art showing figures on horseback. The bio reads: 'Protocol architect, building @tier_xyz – closing the gap between intent and capital flow. Co-founded @1inch.'

> "Early play: 
@tier_xyz
Rumor has it that the 1inch co-founder spent $75,000 to acquire the 
tier.xyz domain. That's a pretty bold move for a project that hasn't even launched a product yet.

For now, there's very little information available only the website and"
