The next wave has already a few huge names.π€©
- The market over the last few days π
- I also suffer from ETHmaximysis. But this ad is hilarious! π
#Ethereum #Solana
- Every now and then Maker makes another controversial decision that puts the protocol and its users at risk.
As the chapters unfold through time:
PSM module with centralized stablecoins
All types of RWAs collateral
Moving $ 500M of DAIβs collateral into centralized custody
And now $ 1B DAI going into Ethena's USDe and sUSDe. I've got nothing against Ethena Labs, but this inherited risk could lead to a domino effect and a cascade collapse of multiple huge protocols.
Maker's constantly evolving Endgame could result in a GameOver for the protocol if they continue playing this Russian Roulette.
Good to see that @lemiscate will offer the LTV reduction of DAI on Aave.
- This is one of the most brilliant and powerful ads I've ever seen. π
"Assume that I can, so maybe I will." is a π― message.
Today is the World Down Syndrome Day.
Spend just 90 seconds to watch it.
It's worth it! **#AssumeThatICan**
- Really nice new Data Availability (DA) tab by the awesome @l2beat team #Dencun #Ethereum
- EIP 4844, the Dencun Upgrade, is officially liveπ΄π₯³
Another important step forward for #Ethereum.
A big day for the history of crypto.
L2 fees are drastically reduced!
- Hey @lens/stani, I've seen you speak at numerous conferences worldwide. ποΈ
As an organizer of an upcoming Ethereum conference in Sofia, Bulgaria (https://www.ethsofia.com/), I'm curious about your process for selecting events to attend and speak at. Could you share some insights into your decision-making process? We aim to create an exceptional conference experience and would love to know what that looks like from your perspective.
- π
10 days until EIP-4844
How cheap transactions will be on L2s after EIP-4844 goes live? π€―
- Paid $ 6.5 gas on an L2 π΅π«
EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding) couldn't come soon enough.
π much cheaper L2 gas fees.
- GM. Football fans in Brazil are something else
At #Maracana stadium
- π Stablecoin Market Cap hits $ 140B, highest number since 2022.
Prediction:
Stablecoin MC will reach >$ 200B during 2024, surpassing the previous ATH of $ 180B.
Why? Stablecoin supply is a "thermometer" for money flows entering the crypto market. And tons of fresh capital is coming to the space. So centralized stablecoins will grow a lot. I bet decentralized stables will play a bigger role in the future, too.
Hopefully, we'll see a decreased dominance of Tether's #USDT (70% atm).
- πΉRoses are red, violets are blue,
Tether finds joy in a blacklist or two.
They blacklist with glee, in a centralized fashion,
"For security!" they claim, but it sounds like passion.
A 'proactive' step? Or a censoring pleasure...π
- π#DevConnect taxi Chronicles.
Picture this: you land at the airport, buzzing with anticipation. You whip out your phone and order an Uber.
But wait, the car that rolls up isn't just any car β it's a taxi moonlighting as an Uber, with a jaw-dropping odometer reading of 976,745 km. This thing's been around the block ...a few thousand times.
π§Now, enter the driver β a renegade of the road. Safety rules? More like mere suggestions. He zips and zooms, treating speed limits like high scores to beat.
Keeping a distance? Only from sanity, it seems. Meanwhile, he's multitasking like a pro, deciphering hand-written messages, speaking on the phone, and monitoring his messages for next clients.
Oh, and the turn signals? They're in pristine condition β untouched, unused. Like a mythological feature from a bygone era. After all, why signal when you can surprise?
As he takes on streets like a seasoned rally driver, every street bumper feels like a launchpad to the moon. Buckle up! π
- OlympusDAO have now about 97% of their $188M treasury in $DAI.π€―
Their new slogan is probably smth like: "No diversification, maximum DAIversification."π€
- πOne year later, this is still my all-time favorite crypto art.
Kudos to Degen Alfie who made it for Tetranode.
No more Vesta Finance, but the @liquityprotocol.lens hot air balloon is only getting bigger and stronger. πͺ
It would be awesome to have an updated version of this beauty every once in a while.
- Many projects in #DeFi state how they WILL one day become more decentralized.
That they WILL make their smart contracts immutable.
That they WILL get rid of their governance.
But power corrupts too often.
Humans are way too greedy.
And forget their promises.
*Shoutout to a small list of projects that don't just talk the talk but also walk the walk like* @liquityprotocol.lens *,* Ajna Finance, Cat-in-the-Box, *and others.*
- Liquity: **exists** (for 2+ years)
@_DKleine, @Blockworks_: *"Using DeFi to take on USD-denominated debt without paying interest seems like a pie-in-the-sky concept..."* π
@CBarraford: *"explains that the real value of THORChainβs lending mechanism is that itβs the "first stressless lending protocol."* π

- π$PEPE goes from 5/8 multisig wallet to 2/8 multisig.
πDevs sent $15M worth of #PEPE to Binance, Bybit & OKX.
Potential rug pull?
- TVL from $20m to $260m in 2 days π
$FDUSD, a new cash-backed USD-pegged stablecoin based in Hong Kong got this TVL spike after being listed on @binance.
When you hope to get more decentralized stablecoins like $LUSD and you get new shady centralized stables...
ποΈWait a minute, they have a monthly transparent report! Ahh, it leads to a 404 error page.
- Liquity: *exists*

- Man, every relatively bigger CT account is spammed with all these f***ng scammers.
I have one word muted in my settings: "airdrop" #AntiSpamAdvice.
This makes stuff a bit better. But Twitter starts to s*ck more and more we need strong @lensprotocol more than ever.
- π $WLD #Worldcoin

lmao π
- I'm really excited to speak at the Stablecoin panel during O2K Tech Crypto Tax Forum later today.
It is not just about stablecoins. It's about the bigger picture of financial sovereignty, censorship resistance, and economic inclusivity.
Decentralized stablecoins, such as @liquityprotocol.lens LUSD, have the potential to ensure that the global economic systems of tomorrow are more accessible, transparent, and equitable.
- Liquity is now the 4th most forked protocol in the DeFi arena. π
Consistently amongst the best. π
- you just can't make this up π

- A #solidity dev dolphin would definitely be quite the sight. π¬
Kudos to #EthCC for their cool FAQ.
- As of today, @makerdao.lens have increased their rates for borrowing against ETH, starting at 3.49% p/y. π
Borrowing against ETH with @liquityprotocol.lens is and will always be at a 0% interest rate. Only 0.5% initial fee.
β
Easy choice.
- How to make Lenster more useful? π€
Who should I follow in the crypto / DeFi space here in order to have more crypto-related content in my Lenster feed, and fewer "Which is your favorite song" posts or "Here is a funny video of a cute dog"?
It would be nice if I could filter my news feed. @stani.lens @lensprotocol
- πββ¬ Cat-in-a-Box is a cool, truly innovative protocol that introduces Dynamic Lending to #DeFi.
In the current crypto world where we constantly see meaningless #Shiba Inu-like projects, having @catinaboxfi, we're definitely more of a cat people!

- Liquity Protocol Q1, 2023 looks awesome
- How "decentralized" are #DeFi protocols, really?
Only 3.5%* of DeFi protocols are immutable and cannot be upgraded. And sure, @LiquityProtocol is one of them.
We need more true DeFi.

- π₯ A project on zkSync raised 921 ETH (null.7M) in a token sale, but funds are stuck forever in the smart contract. The transfer() function works on Ethereum and other EVM chains, but not on zkSync.
The code written for #Ethereum mainnet doesn't function the same way on #zkSyncEra. Always test on testnet.
Just another day in crypto #NeverBoring
- Today marks a special milestone β happy 2nd birthday to Liquity! π
Over the last two years, borrowers have utilized Liquity for different purposes ranging from buying a car, or a house to using $LUSD in #DeFi.
π’ A big THANK YOU to the Liquity community and their strong dedication to a decentralized, immutable, and resilient borrowing protocol! π
