@SecretNetwork is the first Layer 1, Proof-of-Stake blockchain with "Privacy-Preserving Smart Contracts".
All #DeFi apps built on their network are cross-chain interoperable and private by default.
@SecretNetwork consists of decentralized "Secret #Nodes". It is an open-source, permissionless blockchain that provides data privacy and aims to protect users and empower developers in the world of Web3.
In their own words, @SecretNetwork is made up of #Ethereum's Smart Contracts + @Monero's Privacy by Default + @Cosmos' scalability and interoperability.
#Secret has created a unique and clever way of allowing only the @SecretNetwork user to have a unique set of "Viewing Keys" to view their private data, such as token balances, transactions and so on.
It is possible if allowed by the user to share the "Viewing Keys" with third parties, like your connected wallet or network explorer.
Decentralised Finance is all about having the privacy that we don't have in Centralised Finance. When our data is open to the masses, this is a problem and we need to take control of our data and privacy.
If you are interested in getting $SCRT tokens, you can obtain them on @Osmosis#DEX, Kraken, Gate.io CEX's and many more platforms.
You can use @Keplrwallet or better yet your @Ledger to store your $SCRT tokens.
If you're interested in earning with $SCRT you can stake your assets with certain validators or even lock your tokens in 'Liquidity Pools' which comes with other risks.
Staking - Currently, you can earn up to 22.85% APR when Staking $SCRT. Most Validators have a commission of 5%. It is best to stake your tokens with reputable names such as @CitadelDao, @Kraken and so on. All rewards are distributed to your wallet every 24 hours.

Liquidity Pools - A great place to lock up $SCRT in Liquidity Pools is @Osmosis. The $SCRT/$OSMO pool offers up to 30.84% APR, with a '14 day un-bonding period', if you decide to remove your LP tokens from the pool. Beware this comes with the risk of 'Impermanent Loss'.

Are crypto optimists going to make it in five years? That's the million dollar question in today's thread. Read along as i share my thoughts on this intriguing topic.
I've been reading about some crypto concepts recently, and one that caught my attention was the metaverse. The idea of a virtual world where I can assume a new identity and participate in real-world activities sounds interesting.
However, critics says it's a ridiculous concept because the metaverse in its current form achieves nothing. It is just another money-making scheme that involves cryptocurrencies and NFTs. After considering all of this, it struck me to share some of my reservations with you.
In 2018 a a ton of crypto projects raised a staggering USD $5B in ICOs. With a total mcap of over $900B, the cryptocurrency market has attracted the attention of many, including traders looking for quick cash with few regulations.

What Are ICOs?
The word ICO is an abbreviation for Initial Coin Offering, this is a marketing strategy used by owners of cryptocurrency projects to raise capitals for further development of their project, through the use of ICO trading platforms, such as; CG and many more.
Hence, the investors receive unique cryptocurrency "tokens" in exchange for their monetary investment in the project. This unique token gives investors exclusive access to certain features of the project.
3AC - the multibillion-dollar hedge fund that went to zero last month is now leaking data like the titanic.
The court filings came out today. It's a 1,100-page PDF.
Below I've written down what we've found out. 👇
- They owe 27 lenders $3.5B (that's a lot of debt).
- One founder's WIFE says the company owes her $66M. Imagine that.
-They lost $700M in Luna's collapse. Well that was obvious.
- They spent $80M+ buying two bungalows (aka mansions) and a yacht.
Because you know, one bungalow is for chumps. People's money is getting thrown into air like that.
- They would borrow money from one lender, and use it to pay off another. They had such a big reputation (and paid so much in interest to each lender) that nobody questioned them.
Anyone who has spent a considerable amount of time researching and investing in crypto knows one thing about this space. It's volatile.
The market soared to new heights, crashed and bounced months or years later.
These are the 5 most serious crashes in crypto history.
