1/6 Currently, 49% of addresses eligible to claim $1INCH tokens have done so.
They took 75% of what was originally available on a $1INCH distributor smart contract. This is primarily because many big claimers are liquidity providers, and they needed to create markets.
2/6 The chart shows the distribution of the first actions which were taken by the wallet owners with all their 1INCH tokens.
Only 19% are holding tokens or stake them in the @1inchExchange ecosystem.
Almost 25% of wallets sold all their tokens at once after a claim.
3/6 29% transferred all their tokens to another address. This is because these are mainly additional user wallets.
The “Others” includes wallets that performed actions with parts of the claimed tokens, such as sending tokens to several addresses or selling them in parts.
1/6 Today we continue to plunge into the jungle of DeFi decentralized governance. Compound, which launched its governance this year, definitely deserves a mention due to its governance framework’s innovativeness and popularity. theblockcrypto.com/genesis/88681/…
2/6 Compound launched Autonomous Proposals (CAPs) for greater inclusiveness, allowing holders to delegate votes for a specific proposal, not a delegatee. Out of ten created CAPs, only three became formal proposals. In each case, this was due to support from whales.
3/6 I also noticed the rare use of the offline signatures feature (only 15 times since launch) due to the lack of infrastructure. But everything may change shortly, as today, a convenient interface for gasless voting and delegation was presented.
1/5 Although there is enough big news today, I want to share my latest piece on MakerDAO governance. Below there will be literally a couple of thoughts from it. theblockcrypto.com/genesis/87759/…
2/5 Despite its long history, MakerDAO governance continues to be relatively centralized and passive at all voting stages. For example, two-thirds of “Signal Request” topics on the MakerDAO forum were started by six people.
3/5 Voting in government polls with no need for MKR locking also leaves much to be desired.
1/8 In my last research, I look at data storage on the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains. This could become a series of researches related to decentralized storage solutions. Check out this topic superficially here or deeper on @TheBlockRes. theblockcrypto.com/genesis/87043/…
2/8 Blockchain size growth leads to an increase in the cost of running a node. 256 GB HDD was enough for a node 3 years ago, but today it is better to use at least a 1TB SSD. For this reason, storing data directly on the blockchain is expensive.
3/8 The average block size in Bitcoin and Ethereum has increased by 2 and 100 times since 2015, respectively. Bitcoin blocks are 26 times larger than Ethereum blocks, but because of the shorter creation time, 25% more information is written every day due to blocks in Ethereum.
1/9 Today I’m starting a new chapter in my life by joining @TheBlock__ family as a Research Analyst. I am very grateful to @lawmaster and all the rest of the team who supported the materials that I published here.
Also from today, I will be using my real name Igor on Twitter.
2/9 All articles on Medium and the most interesting threads that were written as Frank will be listed below with a few comments. Take a few minutes of your time to find out about how Blockstack faked users or what MEV transactions look like. Let’s go.
3/9 The announcement that @blockstack has over 1 million users was just ridiculous, so I wondered if I could find anything on their blockchain.
Apparently, the answer should have been news of the integration of Firechat (fc-). The messenger is now dead. medium.com/@FrankResearch…

I really like @FTX_Official and their flexibility, but let’s see how it started. One of their most interesting innovations during their launch were leveraged tokens - tokenized margin positions with daily rebalancing.
2/11
It’s worth noting that leveraged tokens were launched by @AlamedaResearch about two months before FTX launched them. They even got their own website: leveragedtokens.com
3/11
In fact, the operation mechanism of the tokens, with the exception of tokenization, was transferred from the traditional market - where such an instrument is called a leveraged ETF.
