Something cooking on Morpho Blue 👀💙https://forum.morpho.org/t/ether-fi-morpho-blue-incentives-in-the-eeth-market/439
How’s the scroll ecosystem? Haven’t bridged over yet.
Total Value Staked is 100 000 ETH🔥🚀 Thank you for your trust, frens! https://dune.com/ether_fi/etherfi

eETH pool has been live for 4 days and it’s already the largest on Pendle. Let’s cook
LRT points alpha on Pendle. YT-eETH can let you earn points faster than an equal value of eETH. Every YT-eETH is generating yield and ether.fi points equal to 1 eETH while accruing those precious EigenLayer points. You can get 13 YT-eETH for every eETH = 13x points anon

Just getting started. LFG 🔥
eETH is natively restaked with EigenLayer meaning there is #nocap to the amount of ETH restaked🆙 Mint eETH and get: 1) ETH staking rewards✅ 2) http://ether.fi loyalty points✅ 3) EigenLayer points✅ All while being able to LP into DeFi protocols🏊♀️

We are glad to announce an integration with Redstone, a decentralized Oracle provider🤝 This integration will allow the protocol to more efficiently receive real-time price updates, as well as enable future DeFi integrations🔥🚀

I’m a fan of the decentralised.co Substack articles. Does anyone have other writers that they follow with defi insights?
Pendle and the bear continue to make zero coupon bonds great again. Long term fixed yield on chain without mentioning RWA
Natively restaked LST coming soon 👀https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/10/18/etherfi-rolls-out-liquid-staking-token-eeth-that-can-be-restaked-on-eigenlayer/

I’m a believer that a company needs to use the products they are building. Always put off when this isn’t true (with some exceptions)

Forgot I live on a beach
Defi frens, what are your thoughts on Eigen Layer and restaking generally? I’m interested to hear novel ideas on major risks and opportunities.

Ethereum is "Terrifyingly" Centralized but there's a way out, ether.fi founder says Mike Silagadze is the founder and CEO of ether.fi, which is a new player in ethereum liquid staking that enables stakers to control their keys while delegating. Ethereum liquid staking has been one of the hottest themes of crypto in 2023. The Shapella upgrade introduced unstaking Ether, Liquid Staking Tokens grew in popularity, and concerns of centralization of staking was a highlight of this year so far. We will begin our conversation with an introduction to ether.fi, followed by their competitive advantage in the already competitve liquid staking sphere.

Modern US corporate governance is optimized around institutional investors. If you want meme-stock companies, or those with more democratised shareholdings, to be responsive to shareholders, a different set of governance tools will need to be built.

Now the question becomes, what will happen when dual tailwinds of low-rates and multiple expansion reverse at the same times as PE firms are sitting on record fund sizes and playing a zero sum game? https://bullfight.substack.com/p/the-dark-knight-of-software-pes-multiple?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1024242&post_id=102004245&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email
Business is the new sports and I’m cool with it. I’m now more dialed into a Hindenburg report on the Adani group than Lebrons pursuit of the all time scoring title.

Big thanks to our Aave Fam! 🤍 Aave Protocol V3 is now live on the Ethereum market 🚀 ”The most exciting aspect of V3 is its flexible design, which enables a variety of new risk mitigation features, and its improved capital efficiency and decentralized liquidity – all while reducing gas costs.” @stani.lens With the deployment of V3 on Ethereum mainnet, Aave’s first and largest market, our community has unlocked new technical features and benefits, including 👇 🔋 **High-Efficiency Mode:** allows users to increase their capital efficiency when supplying and borrowing correlated assets like stablecoins and liquid staking derivates (LSDs) 💪 **Isolation Mode:** enables more assets to be listed on Aave as collateral while maintaining the security of the protocol. Liquidity risks can be siloed by listing assets in isolation mode. ⛽️ **Gas Optimization:** reduces gas costs associated with all the functions across the board by ~ 20-25%. Our migration tool for moving your assets from V2 ➡️ V3 is ready to help all the DeFi ghosts 👻 out there to move your positions over smoothly in a single transaction. Deep dive into the migration tool and more in the V3 ETH blog here: https://aave.mirror.xyz/K9gQPsv-hAH-gO4oH2i0Oen8uQEHYL5q8x9xjN9XnmA Decentralization drives our community forward 🚀 and with this shared mission in mind, we will continue to build and innovate together 👻.
