- A Guide To Silo Finance’s Risk-Isolated Money Markets
AJ is a Founding Contributor at Silo Finance.
In this Quick Hit, we guide you through Silo Finance's risk-isolated money markets. Silo is a DeFi protocol on Ethereum and Arbitrum where isolated lending and borrowing pools can be created for individual tokens. This approach is different from the shared pool design of Aave and Compound, which means long tail assets can be listed while lenders can potentially earn higher yields lending to these markets. With over $ 300M in liquidity across its Ethereum, Llama (crvUSD markets on Ethereum), and Arbitrum markets, AJ shares how this design can provide us more control and opportunity as DeFi lenders and borrowers, as well as future plans for Silo V2 including the implementation of veSILO tokenomics.

- Crypto is starting to move fast
Ape first and research later szn.
In the bear you could move slowly and form a thesis. Money goes to the patient.
In a bull market you don't have that time. Things get bid up and if you don't move quickly you could be in trouble.

- Dawn of a New Era for Ethereum: Launching zkSync's zkEVM | The Edge Podcast
Marco Cora is the Head of Business Development at Matter Labs (zkSync).
In this episode of The Edge Podcast, we talk about the imminent launch of zkSync's zkEVM! This Ethereum L2 will significantly increase the throughput of the Ethereum network, reduce transaction costs, and improve overall efficiency.
We talk with Marco about why they believe an EVM-compatible zkRollup-based L2 is better technology for scaling Ethereum long term and why we as users should care. Given the launch of optimistic rollup-based L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism, we were eager to discuss the ongoing process of onboarding DeFi and Web3 teams to zkSync Era, how they will bootstrap liquidity, and if zkSync launches a token, how it will work in decentralizing their L2. Given zkSync is solely run and operated by the zkSync team's servers, it is currently centralized, but this is expected to be transitioned to a decentralized system this year or some time in early 2024. Find out how to get ahead for what is anticipated to be the next biggest L2 launch since Arbitrum!

- optimists make money
pessimists sound smart
I know which side I’d rather be on
- Thought about sharing the incredible update on network traffic in @lenster.lens 💻🤔
And the results are in... 📈 Over the past 30 days, we've seen a steady rise with an astonishing **600k unique visitors**! 🤯 This is a huge testament to the hard work we've put in to improve accessibility 💪🏼

I‘d be interested in your opinion and usage of lens messages ( available in @lenster.lens @buttrfly.lens #converse ).
do you use lens messages?
how often (per week) do you check the message tab / app?
is there sth you are missing regarding messaging - what feature(s) must be added to make lens based messaging more relevant for you? 🙏
Have a great day 🪴
- Basing all your decisions on macro is just a way to talk yourself out of the trade.
- We will have a major move in 2023. In 2019 BTC went from ~3K to $14K. Alts 2-4X’d during that time. 2023 will see a similar pump.
- You don’t own your money in the bank
You don’t own your content on social media
You own both in crypto
Ownership is the breakthrough use case
- throwing things at a wall and seeing what sticks is a bad way to run a social media company
- The issue with Elon's latest actions is that this time, they are not partisan thoughtcrimes that primarily deeply offend wokes or anything like that. Rather, they go against cross-tribal principles that are a commonly understood bedrock of fair competition. This crosses a new line.
- Elon seems unstable to me. Changing his mind left right and centre, changing core principles in minutes probably with no other view but his. Free speech has already been hurt a few times, even more so now that you can not even post links which is not in Elon/twitters best interest.
This isn’t about free speech for everyone, this is about if Elon doesn’t agree with you then it’s wrong and it’s getting banned/deleted, look at twitter spaces. This is Dictatorship at the highest level blurred by bringing people he thinks should not be blocked back into the platform.
Elon may tomorrow say posts 1 year old have to be deleted due to storage space with no say from the owners of the tweets.
It’s the best time in 10 years to make that move to something you own and grow your social graph for the last time. Bring the power in your own hands.
- no yield
no leverage
no blowups
- main characters but ones we can believe in
- Have to experience some uncertainty to willing to cherish the present.
- Who hurt you, who defeated you, it doesn't matter. Who is important to let you again smile
- Just hold to your dream and never give up.
- You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
- To no retreat, you never know how strong.
- You must always have faith in who you are!
- Who you can forgive without a bottom line that can hurt you without a bottom line.
- who don't need to rely on the light.
- Instead of using the tears regret today, as with sweat hard today.
