[1/6] Vor einer Woche hat @NFAdotcrypto seinen Song veröffentlicht & stellt folgende Thesen auf:
• #XRP war kein ICO
• 3 Devs haben #XRPL kreiert, bevor @Ripple gegründet wurde
• #Ripple kontrolliert 4% der Nodes
• Der #Escrow Zeitplan ist einsehbar
[2/6] 👉 #XRP wurde nicht als ICO herausgegeben
✅ Richtig!
Nachdem im Juni 2012 die Entwicklung des Codes durch @JoelKatz, @JedMcCaleb und @ahbritto vervollständigt wurde, wurden 80% der 100 Milliarden "pre-mined" #XRP verschenkt.
[3/6] 👉 #XRP wurde kreiert, bevor #Ripple gegründet wurde
✅ Richtig!
💡 Der Gründungsweg:
NewCoin, Inc (2012) → OpenCoin, Inc (2012) → Ripple Labs, Inc. (Rebranded / 2013)
🛠️ Der erste Github commit für "#rippled" von Jed und später von David 👇
(Man beachte das Datum 😉)
[4/6] 👉 #Ripple kontrolliert 4% der Nodes
❌ Falsch!
Die Zahlen schwanken natürlich, aber Stand heute (24.11.2022-21:13:00 Uhr) sind 113 Validator-Nodes online, wovon 35 Teil der "vl[.]ripple[.]com" dUNL sind.
2 davon mit der Domain "ripple[.]com"
➡️ 2 / 35 * 100 = ~5,7% ❗️
[5/6] 👉 Der #Escrow Zeitplan für die Herausgabe der #XRP ist öffentlich einsehbar
✅ Richtig!
Wenn eine Escrow erstellt wird, ist diese als "Escrow creation" TX-Typ einsehbar. Man weiß somit, wer die Quelle & wer das Ziel ist & wann die Ausschüttung zeitlich geplant ist.
. . .
[6/6] . . .
Weiterhin sind alle Escrow #Wallets von #Ripple veröffentlicht & bekannt. Diese protokollieren auf dem #XRPLedger nachvollziehbar & transparent die Ein- & Ausgänge der #XRP in die jeweiligen Escrow Konten nach Ablauf der festgelegten Zeiten.
The TL;DR is that pDomains are restricted environments on the XRPL that let users with permission use certain functions within the domain, like a DEX, in case the user owns the correct credentials. 🧐
[1/🧵] The bullrun seems to be just around the corner, and everyone is teasing us with yield and XRPFi protocols. 🧐
Regardless of whether you decide to hold or sell...
Let's take a look at "Lending" and check if it's worth it. 👇
[2/14] — 1⃣ Money Markets —
Before we do just that, let's quickly clarify a specific word first.
Behind the terms "Lending" and "Borrowing" actually hides another term that you will see from time to time:
🔸 Money Markets
[3/14] — 2⃣ Money Markets —
Besides AMMs, lending is currently the most important pillar for on-chain DeFi, as it removes the middleman in the pooling, management, and lending of funds.
The goal? 🤨
Positive yield or in other words, interest on the liquidity you provide.
[1/🧵] A MASSIVE attack on the JavaScript ecosystem is currently underway. ☹️
Since JavaScript is at the heart of what we use every day to browse the internet, you MUST be extra vigilant.
Let's take a look at a possible solution for the XRP ecosystem. 👇🧵
[2/13] — 1⃣ First things first —
Although the entire JavaScript ecosystem is at risk, the malware appears to be targeting only a few blockchain ecosystems, based on the addresses it uses to steal funds:
‼️ At risk 👇
[3/13] — 2⃣ First things first —
The reason this is such a big deal is because of the sheer volume of weekly downloads of the maliciously patched packages.
[1/🧵] You've probably heard about new yield opportunities with XRP that promise a return of around 20% APY. 🧐
How much truth is there to this, and what happens if you actually connect to @moremarketsxyz and deposit funds? 👇
[2/14] — 1⃣ First things first —
👉 I want you to repeat after me:
"I will not deposit all my XRP into completely new DeFi protocols right after their launch, no matter the yield"
[3/14] — 2⃣ First things first —
When you join any DeFi protocol, start with very small amounts (e.g., 1 XRP) to get a feel for how things work, and try to regularly withdraw everything to test whether you can realize your profits with the protocol or not. 👍
[1/🧵] What's still upcoming and in the pipeline for the XRP Ledger? 🧐
My attempt to summarize what the brilliant @aanchalmalhotre "casually" laid out in a 25-minute talk at XRPL Apex this year. 👇
[2/15] — 1⃣ Key-Challenges —
Privacy and compliance are at odds with each other, and balance is key.
A lot of what the TradFi world is used to and expects still doesn't exist or is purposefully different in blockchains, like transparent transactions or low confidentiality.
[3/15] — 2⃣ Key-Challenges —
Institutions also expect their on-chain operations, aka transactions, to be highly customizable and controllable because of factors like internal risk management.
👉 They expect the XRPL to be programmable for their dedicated policies.
With all these new integrations and partnerships, I bet you are pretty much overwhelmed by all the alien-like jargon. 🤨
A little vocabulary crash course ahead 👇
[2/20] — 1⃣ Overview —
What just happened today is nothing less than the complete onboarding of the XRPL to the vast and entire web3 blockchain ecosystem (+ Bridging protocols and available liquidity).
👉 All via the XRPLEVM sidechain, Axelar and @squidrouter.
[3/20] — 2⃣ Overview —
What does this mean in practice? 🧐
🔸 New tokens on the XRPL DEX (bridged by @axelar)
🔸 Literal (and easy) any-to-any swaps (via Squid)
🔸 Liquidity from the entire web3 ecosystem (via CORAL)
🔸 Bridged XRP accessible on 80+ chains (through XRPLEVM)
