Remember your unrelenting zeal and the loneliness that came with it because it motivated us to seek out others and build an international community.

Remember the nay-sayers, the oppressors, and the critics, because, against all odds, our communities’ collaboration has yielded unquestionable vindication.

Remember the battles fought and what we fight for because we have leveraged that adversity to make us stronger, smarter, and better at everything we do.

Remember that you are not alone, Anon, for we all Yearn for a future of finance that won’t belong to anybody, but everybody.

In response to the SEC’s recent [enforcement action](https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1666129111025324035), Coinbase called for [“shields up”](https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/1667218066281775106) to demonstrate solidarity throughout the Crypto industry.
Coinbase posted the following video conveying their efforts to the unresponsive SEC:

Optimism sees a nearly 5,000% increase in TVL from Yearn Finance as Yearn's TVL increases to $13.8M. As of June 9, Yearn is showing the greatest TVL growth on Optimism over the last 30 days.
- The rapid growth in TVL on Optimism is largely in part due to Yearn’s [**boosted OP Vaults**](https://twitter.com/yearnfi/status/1659139400893071362).
