MakerDAO’s gbMKR Proposal

⁍MakerDAO is currently entertaining a proposal to replace MKR with gbMKR for gov. voting. tokens will be lockable in a Voting Escrow, similar to Curve, but more focused on long term gov. participants.
2/2
⁍gbMKR would be non-transferable, but could be bypassed with wrapped derivatives like Yearn’s yveCRV vault or Convex’s cvxCRV product. This would give gbMKR holders a gov. boost but no additional economic incentives. They can be added later.

2/2

Flashbots Research Post - Speeding Up the EVM

⁍This is only part 1, where they argue the need for a faster and “parallel” EVM, and the approaches to achieve it, and how easier MEV extraction can help prevent economic centralization.
2/2
⁍ The Flashbots people have been analyzing MEV since its discovery and actively deploying solutions to contend with this “necessary evil” in the fairest and most transparent way possible. We support the team, their research, their efforts, and their giant brains.
For those seeking a stable relationship
In retrospect, maybe it was a little unsustainable
Time to pull out the emergency memes

It isn't clear to everyone why #DeFi is better than TradFi.

Sure, bringing financial services to #crypto is cool - but why is it better?

In this thread, we're going to explore the benefits of trading stocks using @mirror_protocol to illustrate the power of #DeFi 🪞 🧶 👇 Image
1/ Mirror Protocol (@mirror_protocol) allows you to trade stocks the same way you trade cryptocurrencies in #DeFi 🪞

You can

– Buy / sell synthetic stocks (called "mirrored" assets) on a DEX.

– Farm them for yield (long or short) just like with any other tokens. 👨‍🌾
2/ Now why anyone would want to do that instead of just buying #stonks on @RobinhoodApp?

It's easy to understand why 19% interest in @anchor_protocol is better than 0.5% in a TradFi savings account.

But why #DeFi stocks over TradFi stocks?

Here are some reasons 👇

Getting to other chains early is key to success in #DeFi. The best yields are not on the biggest chains.

Bridging $ can be intimidating, confusing and expensive.

Here are the best methods we've found to bridge assets from / to any chain 🧵 👇

$SOL $MATIC $NEAR $FTM $LUNA $ONE
1/

For some background info, EVM chains like $ETH, $AVAX, $FTM, $MATIC, $BSC, $ONE, $AURORA are compatible with @MetaMask.

Non-EVM compatible chains include:
- $LUNA
- $SOL
- $ATOM
- $DOT
- $BTC

These chains can not be used with Metamask, you need different wallets.
2/

1. From a centralized exchange

Using a centralized exchanges like @Binance, @kucoincom, @gate_io etc is often the easiest way to bridge assets.

They allow withdrawals between many chains, and you can swap tokens without gas.

HiddenHand Marketplace is [Redacted]

⁍Their bribe marketplace “allows protocols with vote-escrow tokens to access a marketplace that lets others bribe their token holders to vote for their best interests”
2/2
⁍This new marketplace can help any DeFi protocol get more value for their own holders, while creating new revenue streams for BTRFLY holders. This will be permissionless, allowing any protocol to create a bribe market. The team is working to have this running by February.

L1 war crimes

⁍ETH’s inability to scale fast enough has left the door open for alternative layer 1’s to step up and absorb marketshare. This is a great breakdown of the differences between these networks.
2/2
⁍All the different approaches to scaling are covered. From SOL’s High performance that can challenge NASDAQ, to AVAX’s subnets and NEAR’s sharding, it’s a great thread to get informed and help wrap your head around this narrative.
