Please feel free to reply to this thread if I missed out on any other trilemma. Read more about the 10 trilemmas in the link below. michaellwy.substack.com/p/every-crypto…
1/ With the recent depeg of @Platypusdefi's $USP and FUD around $BUSD, I dived deep into @y2kfinance, a DeFi protocol on @arbitrum. A thread on the protocol mechanism and the $Y2K token 🧵
2/ One of the roles of financial markets is to transfer risk and allocate it efficiently. But there's a gap in the DeFi world when it comes to hedging against stablecoin de-pegging risks.
3/ Y2K Finance is a protocol on #Arbitrum providing avenue for hedging and speculating on pegged asset risks. Users can manage potential deviation of stablecoins, liquid staking derivatives (#LSD), or other wrapped assets from their expected value.

Last month there was an interesting DAO proposal on @LidoFinance by @_skozin. The crux of the proposal argues for introducing a Dual Governance scheme, in which $stETH holders will also be granted governing power in addition to $LDO holders. michaellwy.substack.com/p/ambition-mad…

In my latest blog, I explore how the Dual Governance scheme resembles the structure of a #bicameral legislature (with specific reference to the U.S. Congress) and inherits the spirit of check and balance to address moral hazards.

Many parallels between #dual#governance and #bicameralism can be observed: both seek to mitigate the principal-agent problem through better alignment of interests and both seek to limit the power of the governing body by introducing elements of checks and balances.
