Whoa @ETHBoston, what a weekend! So many amazing teams built killer #DeFi projects using UMA synthetics.

Want to hedge DAI breaking the peg? 🦢SwanDAI did that with a token.

Want to hedge your @compoundfinance rate risk? SUMA did that with a token.

More dets + highlights:
The 🦢SwanDAI team won our $3k DAI bounty for most creative use of an UMA synthetic token. The project combined financial engineering + data science to create a token that pays off if DAI breaks its peg, providing DAI uses a useful form of insurance.

Do you want to "lock in" your 9.7% DAI supply rate on your @compoundfinance loans? SUMA created an innovative token to lock in current rates **effectively creating an interest rate hedging tool** for DAI. You can now "bet" on Compound rates.

Do you think Bitcoin dominance is peaking? "Alt Coin Index" created tokens that track both Bitcoin and Altcoin dominance, allowing users to bet on the relative growth of the two markets. This feels like a missing tool for macro investors in crypto.

Have you wanted a "local currency" version of DAI? The Crypto2Go team created a series of tokens that convert DAI into synthetic CNYDAI, JPYDAI, KRWDAI, etc.

Doesn't JPYDAI seem like something we should create for #Devcon5 @MakerDAO @EFDevcon ??

The @TornadoCash team added ERC20s to their mixer to enable privacy with UMA synthetic assets. Production deployment is not far away...

[THREAD] This past weekend I was lucky enough to have been a judge at @ETHBoston. As an investor in the space, here are some of my top takeaways, trends to watch, and favorite projects from the hackathon.
2/First, some context. Like other @ETHGlobal events, ETHBoston was well-attended, with over 400 hackers in attendance. Participants had a wide range of #Ethereum experience and traveled from all over the world to attend the event (stats below).
3/At the end of the weekend, 55 projects were submitted to judges. Of those, 6 projects were selected as finalists and they presented to the entire hackathon audience.

You can view all of the hackathon projects here on @devpost: ethboston.devpost.com/submissions

Long Reads Sunday #42.

Who woulda thunk it? After all the tension, infighting, and tribal bickering, the thing that gets us to set aside differences & unite against a common foe is a threat to dox a spacecat.

Saddle TF up, it’s Long Reads time! 👇

2/ Here’s the TL;DR. Craig Wright, who is absolutely and most definitely Satoshi, upped the stakes on his campaign against those who claimed otherwise by offering a $5000 bounty to reveal the identity of @hodlonaut (aka the person who kicked off the #LNtrustchain)
3/ It was a step too far.

Pomposity, outlandish claims, and outright scams are par for the course in crypto. But an outright attempt to dox someone is a straight up “fuck you” to everything anyone legitimately in this space believes in.

1/The launch of synthetic assets on decentralized networks like Ethereum is a major development for #OpenFinance! Let's take a closer look at synthetic cryptoassets and explain what they are, why they matter, as well as some of the risks associated with them.
2/Synthetic assets give investors exposure to an asset/portfolio of assets without actually needing to hold them. This is done using a financial contract with a counterparty. Contracts can be structured in different ways to mimic the effects of interacting with assets directly.
3/A common synthetic asset is a Total Return Swap. Here a counterparty agrees to pay the total return of an asset (such as FB stock) while the other agrees to pay a regular fixed cash flow and post margin/collateral. A swap terminates and settles at a later date in the future.

0/ We just released a new report which gives an overview of the DeFi landscape. This is an example of a Thematic Insights piece, one of the four different types of products we provide as part of our Delphi Insights Plan. Read the full piece here: delphidigital.io/defi
1/ Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents a broad category of financial applications being developed on open, decentralized networks. Within our report, we cover companies building DEXs, lending and borrowing protocols, and much more.
2/ We break out four key features (type, settlement, order books, and pooled liquidity) for DEXs, and use them to categorize five prominent exchanges. We cover @UniswapExchange , @Bancor, @IDEXOnline, @renprotocol , and @KyberNetwork.

I’ve worked with lots of agile #teams, and some of the symptoms of a well functioning high-perfoming teams that I see are:

👇
They start their daily standups on time.
They tend to laugh a lot and have fun.
