More below 👇
COO
@lukedelphi and I are entrepreneurs at heart and we like to move fast. We need a detail-oriented operations exec to complement our skill-set, bringing a bit of structure/discipline to our workflows
This is a key role for a Wags like character to take ownership of
Games Economist
We've been intimately involved with the P2E space from the get-go, designing the token econ and leading seed rounds for @AxieInfinity, @YieldGuild, and others. We're now looking to leverage these learnings and build a FT gaming econ team
NFT Strategist
We see NFTs as a new token econ primitive and are interested in using them to develop gamified experiences across incubated projects. We believe the design space is wide open and are looking for a lead to help us define and execute our strategy
Quantitative Analyst
We're building a risk team to provide quantitative input to governance decisions for protocols we incubate. We're looking for an experienced quant to work with big brains @ayana_eltai, @JonathanErlichL, @michal_crypto to help pioneer new models
Entrepreneur in Residence
We're always looking for great founders/leaders interested in starting crypto projects while leveraging Delphi Labs's infrastructure, brand and network. Whether you have an idea or want to tackle one of ours, we'd love to talk
What do we offer?
Delphi Labs is a builder's paradise. You'll be surrounded by top talent across economics, development, product design, risk, legal and more.
You'll also benefit from the broader @Delphi_Digital hive-mind of 60+ top researchers and big brains
More perks
🔶The culture is relaxed and informal (don't say in words what could better be expressed with a meme)
🔶Work remotely and on your own schedule
🔶Competitive salary + direct ownership upside on projects you work on
🔶Meritocracy
If you're interested, please head over to our job board and apply. You can also DM me but I can't guarantee a response
We'll also be paying 5000 $UST for successful referrals so if you know a good fit for any of these roles, send them our way
The pieces will start falling into place once Columbus 5 goes live in late September
In this thread, I share my mental model for @terra_money and guide to the end of year setup as I see it 👇
1/ Before we begin, it’s important to realise what Terra is
Terra’s product is often misunderstood as an L1
In reality, Terra’s only product is $UST. Everything else, including the L1, simply exists to help make $UST the most useful and decentralised form of money there is
3/ The decentralisation mechanisms are well-covered, so I’ll focus mostly on utility. What makes money useful?
Money can either be spent or held/invested (deferred spending)
1/ Delphi Labs is excited to announce that @lex_node has joined us as General Counsel
Gabe is a crypto law OG and widely respected as one of the top legal minds in the space having worked with projects like Metacartel, Lido, Yearn, Sushi, among many others
2/ Our goal at Delphi Labs is to push the crypto space forwards by helping projects with whatever they need to be successful
We already have exceptional talent in economic design, product, UX and strategy, but all projects grapple with the legal challenges crypto presents
3/ Unlike some in the space, Gabe applies existing regulations as they actually are rather than an idealised version of what they should be
He’s also written some of the best research out there on the implications of securities laws for token projects: github.com/lex-node
@ConstanteMx Hey ser, unfortunately I haven't found any good generalist resources.
The best way is just to read up on how different token econ models work and think through their tradeoffs. A @Delphi_Digital sub is very helpful here 😉
@THORChain GOAT token model in terms of pure elegance with built-in security + incentive pendulum @graphprotocol one of the most creative/interesting token models, creating incentives for curation via bonding curves
Centralised stables will be increasingly regulated and restricted. Decentralised stables are the endgame and will grow to become one of the largest verticals in DeFi
I believe $UST is the only truly decentralised stablecoin operating at scale
Thread 👇
1/ Stablecoins have become the backbone of DeFi, with nearly $100b in cumulative market cap
Unfortunately, over 70% of this is in centralised alternatives like USDT and USDC
2/ Centralised stablecoins are IOUs for dollars held in a bank account attached to a legal entity
Not only do users face counterparty risk with issuers, they also face potential censorship by nation states as legal entities can be coerced and bank accs frozen
We've already received a lot of great entries for the #deficonnected hackathon
In case you're still looking for inspiration, I've put together a wishlist of ideas that no one is yet building on Terra (as far as I know)
Thread 👇
(1)Terra name service (TNS)
Human readable names for the Terra network associated to Terra addresses. Essential infra for mainstream adoption
(2) Terra Push Notifications
Allowing push notifications to Terra wallet addresses
(3) Etherscan for Terra - Self explanatory
(4) Data infrastructure on Terra - Making it easy to query data from the Terra blockchain and major dApps (Terraswap, @mirror_protocol , @anchor_protocol ) and create dashboards. Think Graph Protocol / Dune Analytics for Terra
