@OffshiftXFT is a cross-chain privacy-as-a-service by use of zero knowledge synthetic assets (zkAssets) on $ETH and $DOT/ $KSM (via moonbeam) networks.
zkAssets will be the first to allow for privacy in DeFi = #PriFi.
This will be huge!
2/ Through 1:1 value exchange of $XFT, any synthetic asset with a $LINK price feed can be minted as a zkAsset.
For example, mint zkBTC, zkXAU (gold), zkUSD, etc.
The value and type of the asset is then encrypted and private. You are now free to trade/invest this asset privately
3/ To mint zkAssets, 100% collateral of $XFT is burned.
On reverse, zkAsset is burned and equivalent $XFT is minted at the new value ratio.
Therefore $XFT supply is elastic to the net value of assets being minted/burned.
No lending interest %, no margin calls, no liquidations
4/ In true privacy fashion, the team is anon, but with public wallets addys, gradual vesting until 2026, and anti-rug lockboxes.
Private sale was limited to $5k per investor, with a total of $200k raised = no VC dumps.
Token has been trading since Aug, so all weak hands are out!

Code is not yet open source (apparently so they don't get forked) until mainnet launch in April.. yes mainnet just days/weeks away!
However, the Ethereum and moonbeam testnets are live and can be played around with - so we know they have working tech.
Audit planned by Zokyo
6/ zkAssets are fully private, and do not show up in ethplorer or etherscan.
Even if one sees the token, they won't know the asset type (zkBtc, zkXAU, etc) or it's value without the zkProof. It's a blank note.
All zkAssets are however fully fungible and can be traded like ERC20
7/ As demand for privacy increases, more zkAssets will need to be minted.
As there is no interest attached, there is no incentive to ever burn the assets, so they can remain in privacy land forever. This leads to fewer $XFT supply, perpetual deflation, and ever higher $XFT price.
8/ If a whale wants to mint private zkAssets, the price of $XFT is irrelevant.
For example, a $50k zkBTC can be minted via 10,000x $5 $XFT, or 10x $5,000 $XFT.
In each case, $50k worth of $XFT will be burned 🔥
Only the circulating MC of XFT matters (which reduces with burn).
9/
The total $$ market cap of $XFT limits how many zkAssets can be minted. Currently just $15M of zkAssets would burn the entire $XFT supply!
It's never been required or expected to publicly declare private bank balances, so expect big money to want to keep status quo = $B+ TAM
10/ The cost of service (minting zkAssets) does not increase with price of XFT, so no force function to supress $XFT price.
+ Demand is limited only by marketcap, with potential $BILLIONS of TAM = $B+ MC
+ Once mainnet is live in a few weeks, XFT will be hella deflationary
=?
11/ And this is just the start!
Future plans include creating a whole privacy-centric ecosystem around these private synth zkAssets
This includes #PriFi & yield farming, DEX, borrowing and lending, insurance, and NFT exchange.. all fully anonymous & powered by $XFT = MORE demand
12/ TLDR; 1. Burn XFT to mint privacy assets 2. Number of privacy assets limited by XFT marketcap 3. Billions of $ of TAM for privacy
= high demand for zkAssets which necessarily requires increasing $XFT market cap, while simultaneously necessarily decreasing it’s supply = MOON
$BTRFLY, a project which could;
- deliver a top #10 stablecoin with TRIPLE #RealYield
- while becoming the central bank of the internet
- while solving Ethereum's EOF/MEV challenges
Let's do a pre-wp speculative dive into @redactedcartel's upcoming $DINERO
A dirty thread🧵👇
This will be a nerdy tech speculation of some concepts that COULD be in the upcoming $DINERO whitepaper [e.g. if I was designing it]
If you are not familiar with $BTRFLY, this is a good primer;
The way that the $XFT tokenomics work is that 100% of the future demand for privacy has to fit within the circulating supply market cap of $XFT.
Currently the marketcap is ~$40M (~$10 per $XFT), so someone could burn the entire supply to mint $40M worth of privacy assets....
but this is not rlly valid, as its unlikely that demand for privacy is just a one time event.... the price of $XFT should increase gradually over time as the demand for privacy slowly gains adoption...
$WARP is about to release its v2 #BlackSmith, further innovating on lending for yield bearing assets
The #DeFi 2.0 narrative is strong, but the potential of the @element_fi ecosystem it will leverage is underappreciated =>THREAD
2/ $WARP was a pioneer in #DeFi summer by being the first to enable borrowing against Liquidity Positions (LP).
This innovation unlocked a $4.7B TAM beast, whilst the borrower continued to earn LP fees on their underlying assets 🔥
Other DeFi dApps have since copied this idea.
3/ This V1 is live today with $16.5M TVL
eg if you’re bullish on $WBTC / $ETH in Q4 and wanted to keep exposure, but also wanted $ to trade alts you could;
1. Add 50% of each as univ2 LP & earn ~2.5% APR 2. Borrow 75% LTV $USDC at 2.19% APR (-0.31% net) 3. Buy alts 4. Profit 💸
A suite of privacy technologies, which are about to culminate into the future leading NFT marketplace by volume… NFTs not of JPEGs, but tokenised yield bearing ASSETS!
The future of NFT = ASSETS
2/ INTRO; The beauty and curse of DLT blockchain is that it is a PUBLIC ledger.
This transparency allows it to be immutable and secured by anyone with a node, however, the downside is that your activity and balances are broadcast publicly.
Your entire $ETH history is public.
3/ Zora uses “Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge”.
Zk-SNARKS, are math proofs to prove you know something without declaring the actual data.
They effectively work like encryption for blockchain data, by making public data unreadable without the key.
