1. Last thread for today. It’s about #liquidstaking. @FantomFDN brought an amazing idea, but the market didn’t respond accordingly in my opinion. So let’s show some love! $ftm
2. You want to secure the network? Stake your tokens. But why should i secure it? Because you’ll earn rewards. If there wasn’t an incentive, noone would do it for free.
3. Then #DeFi came. And because stakers locked their tokens, they could not participate in #DeFi.
MAN I AM SECURING YOUR NETWORK AND MISSING THOSE OPPORTUNITIES?
4. But how can you lock your tokens not in one place but two? To stake, you need to lock tokens. To participate in #DeFi you have to lock tokens as collateral. Is there really a way to do both?
5. Meet liquid staking my fren. Imho it’s revolutionary, it’s a brilliant idea.
@FantomFDN found a way. A simple but amazing way.
6. WHY SHOULDN’T WE COLLATERALIZE THE STAKED AMOUNT?
There is a token called sFTM. You can mint it with respect to your staked amount.
You staked 50.000 FTMs? You have the option to mint 50.000 sFTMs.
7. If you do not pay back your sFTMs, you can not withdraw your staked tokens.
One sFTM is a representation of one staked FTM. Image
8. Now you can use sFTM to participate in #DeFi. You just unlocked the buying power of your funds.
9. Before liquid staking, there was a question of “yielding or staking”. With #fantom, you can do both. And yes you guessed it right. ALL WITHIN THE #FWALLET.
With almost no costs.
Instantly.
10. @FantomFDN said $ftm is made for #DeFi.
They lied.
$ftm is the #DeFi.
Let’s ride the #DeFi train together!

1. Hello all! @FantomFDN made a presentation on UN, for ITU (International Telecommunication Union), and this is just a guess but it was also probably about smart cities.

This is going to be a thread about how this can work in real life for traffic! Let's start!

$ftm Image
2. People living in big cities know that traffic is a huge problem. When there is an intersection, we put traffic signs/lights in order to avoid collusions.

In a 4-leg intersection, there are 32 conflict points. Image
3. The more conflict points there are, the more waiting time in signalized intersection.

But don't forget that traffic lights are just a communication language for the drivers, and the language has only 3 sentences.

1. I previously wrote about how to use #NFTs in real life, let's expand it a little bit! Let's use the same #RealEstate example, but it can apply to many many more ideas!

$ftm
2. So we have oracles like @chainlink or @BandProtocol , so we can get the price of the real estate from them.

Let's say our house is worth 1.000.000$ worth for now, and let's say we own %100 of the house. And our kid wants to go to college.
3. College payment is 50.000$/year. And we don't want to sell our house. Instead, we want to take a loan from the bank.

1. Hello all! This time the thread goes to @AlchemixFi ! A genius idea, which makes DeFi move one more step forward! Let's start, and as always I'm going to try to explain it as easy as I could!
$ftm
2. Let's start with the real centralized banks and what they do.
You deposit money, they give interest to you, and you'll be able to get more money after 1 year.

For example:
3. You have 1000 $.
Bank has %1 interest rate.
You deposit 1000$ today, and get 1010$ next year. You earned 10$ just for depositing, and bank probably earned more with giving loans/credit etc.

1. Hello everyone! It's a thread about what I think is happening, and how we should act. These are all my thoughts and they are honest ones. Don't take it as financial advise or anything, and feedbacks are always welcomed!
$ftm
2. If you look at the validators, there are 3 of them that delegated so much. This is too much trust on one node in my opinion.

People probably did it in the past because GoFantom team is working hard to move fantom forward.
3. But it's a centralization problem. If they fail to work unintentionally or intentionally, it affects the whole network.

We need to distribute the power for a better network in the long term.

1. As promised, this is a thread about @AaveAave and #flend! AAVE is a lending/borrowing protocol that evolved the #defi ecosystem to the next step! It's gonna be a long thread, let's start!
$ftm
2. In order to understand the decentralized way, we first need to understand the traditional way.
As always i'll try to make it as easy as it can be!

So we first need to understand how banks make money.
3. Let's say you have 1000$ in your pocket and you want to deposit your #money to a #bank, because they give some #interest to you. Let's say your bank gives %1 interest rate for 1 year lock.

1. Hello again! I've been thinking for a while to write this thread and this is time!
My thoughts about #crypto ecosystem, what it looks like to me and what can happen in the future! It's gonna be huge thread, so fasten your belts!
$ftm
2. I previously wrote a thread about #ren, and how it is similar to silk road 1500 years ago. And it feels like we are building cities. But not as traditional cities, we are building cities on internet.
3. In those cities we have our own #currencies, our own #governance, our own #banking systems, our own economical features, our own communities. And with the development of internet, we don't need land or place for social gatherings.
