Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty ecstatic about the ridiculous TVL jump $FTM has seen since Andre announced this snapshot for @solidswap.

(I mean 50% increase in TVL in 1 day??? Even in crypto, that's wild)

But, this feels, wrong.
With the snapshot fast approaching, look at the protocols which aren't gonna make it.

Anyone whose been in $FTM before this year, would have known of @LiquidDriver $LQDR and @TarotFinance $TAROT. But here they are (likely to be) excluded from one of the biggest projects in $FTM. Image
These are projects that contributed to the ecosystem in $FTM since its early days before CT started pumping $FTM to the high heavens.

These are the protocols that deserve to be rewarded for building $FTM to where it is today.
Of course, that's not to say the projects in the top 20 don't deserve it.

Many of them like $BEETS, $GEIST, $SCREAM, $SPIRIT have all been staples of the $FTM eco and should definitely make the cut.
Now, I don't blame the protocols that came in to suck up liquidity. After all, they don't set the rules. Hate the game, not the player.

But yea, I don't think this move is healthy for the $FTM ecosystem as a whole.
And not to mention, a 50% TVL increase, is likely mostly made up of mercenary capital just here to pillage the fresh yields.

I'm still long $FTM but I fully expect TVL to dump after this.

I'd love to be proven wrong tho.

1/ $ATOM has become the central talking point again as the top performer in the last 24 hours among the top 100 by a strong margin.

But what are $ATOM buyers so excited about and what does the #Cosmos hold for us in 2022?
Let’s look at some incoming catalysts 👇 ImageImage
2/ Gravity Bridge

Gravity Bridge is a neutral bridge between the #Cosmos and $ETH. This allows bridging of Cosmos assets to $ETH as ERC-20 tokens and ERC-20 tokens into the Cosmos eco, such as $USDC, $DAI and of course $ETH.

This unlocks $ETH liquidity into the Cosmos eco and
3/ perhaps of equal importance, could bring a greater variety of stablecoins into the Cosmos.

Rn, the only stablecoin available is $UST, so a larger variety would increase the options available for swaps into stables and also creates the option for stablecoin LP farming 🧑🏻‍🌾

1/ The L1 everyone faded: a thread 🧵

2021 has been a good year for L1s. Most L1s outperformed ETH with ease.

But amidst all of the crazy returns, there is 1 that has been (relatively) overlooked imo. That is, #Fantom $FTM.
2/ What is $FTM

Everyone is familiar with the blockchain trilemma, being:
-Scalability
-Security
-Decentralisation

Every blockchain tries to fix these issues but most end up with trade-offs. $SOL faces centralization issues while $ETH faces scalability issues.
3/ $FTM aims to be all 3 with their Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerant (aBFT) consensus algorithm, Lachesis.

This involves being:
-Asynchronous
-Leaderless
-Byzantine Fault Tolerant
-Final

Let’s look at what this means.
