5/ Lastly and most recently, we released a @podcastdelphi episode where @jon_charb goes into detail on just how censorship resistant Ethereum may be. 🎙
In the 3 months since the Terra collapse, the Delphi Labs team has been hard at work figuring out what we see as the future of DeFi, what platform best facilitates this, and ultimately where we should best focus our builder efforts going forward members.delphidigital.io/reports/findin…
It’s important to highlight that this post should not be taken as an absolute judgment about which ecosystem is best, but rather a subjective analysis of which ecosystem best suits our specific context, vision, and values
In Part I, we outline these design constraints and the resulting platform requirements we looked to optimize for
In Part II, we analyze each of the platforms based on these requirements and explain why we ultimately decided on the Cosmos ecosystem
In May, Optimism airdropped its $OP token to almost 250k users.
Our analyst @DaBooligan broke down key metrics to try and determine if the airdrop was a success. ⬇️
2/ The goal was to onboard new users into their ecosystem but was it successful?
While daily active users soared to a peak of just over 106K/day, it quickly dropped back down.
On the other hand, the floor for daily users was higher post airdrop, meaning some users stuck around.
3/ Airdrop activity stats 📊
🔹40% of eligible addresses never claimed their tokens
🔹~55% of all addresses that claimed the airdrop transferred or sold their OP tokens on the Optimism rollup
.@NounsDAO is an open-source experiment on how to scale a brand in the fastest way possible, championing the use of the CC0 (Creative Commons 0) framework for public domain IP.
Will this become the new standard for project design?
- Mobile game sector took years to build traction
- Great games take years to develop, this stuff takes time
- We need experienced Game Developers, but also creative implementation of web3
- Industry is in a transitional period
- Focused on pioneering sustainability
- Debate around sustainability is similar to Facebook in 2012, ads are not the answer
"We're now entering the phase where we get actual pushback."
In 2022, @CurveFinance v2 quoted better execution prices than @Uniswap v3 for ~65% of all ETH/USDT transaction volume.
On @arbitrum, Curve Tricrypto is dominating $ETH volumes with more than 83% of total market share.
What's happening, and are the DEX Wars heating up? 🧵⬇️
1/ These competing DEXs work in different ways:
Uniswap v3 is concentrated liquidity – it allows LPs to provide liquidity in specific price ranges.
Curve v2 is automatic concentrated liquidity – it automatically concentrates the liquidity of LPs around an internal oracle price.
2/ Curve is complex:
🔹 A moving average creates its internal oracle price.
🔹 Fees are dynamic and increase with volatility.
🔹 10 parameters are used to create a Curve pool.
The complexity causes gas prices to be nearly 2x higher than Uniswap’s, but...
