Centralization is a dangerous word
A decentralized network represented by a single face is still subject to a single point of failure, & recent events have made this very clear
🧵Thread on what happened Today in DeFi, the current scenery, & the upcoming role of @MetisDAO
1/29
2/ On this thread we'll cover:
• #andrecronje quitting $FTM & what (possibly) led 2 it
• What's on the plate for $FTM
• @MetisDAO
• Fits like Cinderella's shoe
• Access routes to @MetisDAO
• DeFi Sauce in @MetisDAO
• @MetisDAO NFT Collections
Get some 🍿and lets go👇
3/ #andrecronje quitting DeFi & what (possibly) led to it
Andre Cronje, most prestigious Fantom dev & the person behind @iearnfinance and $SOLID, went MIA a few days ago when his account became deactivated
Speculation surged to ATH type shi & Today @AntonNellCrypto confirmed it
4/ #andrecronje quitting DeFi & what (possibly) led to it
@AntonNellCrypto was a sr architech at @FantomFDN & Andre's colleague, so his allegations are def credible
What could've led to this tho?
Well, u might remember that Andre & @danielesesta were building an empire, right?
5/ #andrecronje quitting DeFi & what (possibly) led to it
Said empire took quite a hit wen news came afloat that @0xSifu was managing @Wonderland_fi treasury while havin a dark, hidden, past(not here to judge any1)
Community was livid, @0xSifu left, & a snowball effect unfolded
6/ #andrecronje quitting DeFi & what (possibly) led to it
@0xSifu was actually VERY active and popular in the community, so once he left, @danielesesta had to leave Andre alone with the $SOLID potential empire & go focus on taking the wheel at @Wonderland_fi
This was a problem
7/ #andrecronje quitting DeFi & what (possibly) led to it
Andre loves code. Dani loves community. It was the perfect match.
The thing is, once @danielesesta left, Andre had to be the face of the product and deal with all the media/PR shit, which he doesn't like at all
8/ #andrecronje quitting DeFi & what (possibly) led to it
As I read in a a great thread earlier:
If Andre doesn't even like media BS, imagine having to deal with the snapshot Top25 drama, a somewhat problematic launch, & users complaining abt ur buggy UI
He said fuck it im out
9/ What's on the plate for $FTM?
Fantom is an awesome & robust network w/ a FIERCE community of users & devs, so it will keep doing what it does
FVM soon, so rn $FTM is at a tasty discount
Although, under my eyes, the balance was just tipped in @MetisDAO favor. Here's why👇
10/ @MetisDAO
What is $FTM recognized for?
• Fast Txs
• Saucy DeFi yields
The BOOM in TVL was caused by Andre and $SOLID. Now, its creator is gone.
@MetisDAO on the other hand, has FASTER tx, SAUCIER DeFi Yields, & now it has its OWN F*CKING $SOLID: $HERMES
wen TVL boom?
11/ @MetisDAO
Any1 who was in $FTM bc of $SOLID, now has no incentive 2 prefer $SOLID> $HERMES
$SOLID creator is gone; devs who forked it into $HERMES r working nonstop
I don't doubt $FTM devs r workin nonstop too, but now its an even playfield, & $METIS has the bigger upside
12/ Fit like Cinderella's shoe
Going back at the beauty of $FTM network: Fast txs, CHEAP tx, & saucy yields.
What if tho... Hear me out...
Besides faster tx and saucier yields... @MetisDAO will also have CHEAPER tx😳
Once the DEC Storage launches: NEW ERA.
@MetisDAO Era
13/ Fits like Cinderella's shoe
Those 3 reasons, among many others, makes me think that @MetisDAO would fit Fantom degens like Cinderella's shoe:
Perfect
Ps. It's a Goddess' shoe tho😉
