Exposing @FluidTokens and why #CardanoCommunity should be careful day 1:

1/n
As you know there are many borrowers who put NFTs as collateral on the DApp, offering them in case they don't payback the loan+interest

User can borrow ADA or iUSD and even create bundles of NFTs to ask for liquidity 2/n
The platform provide data about holders, volume and floor price in this way lenders can check if it's a valuable collateral but always DYOR

You can even see how many loans the borrower has paid back, isn't it crazy? it's monitoring the history of the borrowers
3/n
If you are a borrower you can even edit the loan without cancel and submit saving ADA fees

How dare they to innovate in this way?
4/n
When you become borrower or lender you get an NFT that is a bond, this bond represents the position on the platform and can be sold to liquidate your position

As you know right now there 3 types of bonds on Cardano, optim, Aada and fluid

Have you already got one?
5/n
User can even use Tokens for the projects as collaterals and decide the one they would like to use without selling

Basically unlocking liquidity from their NFTs without selling

Are they trying to steal the market to the marketplaces?
6/n
you have even the history of your profile so you can see the profits/loss that you made

are they spying on us?
7/n
They also provide all the data and stats about their platform, do they want to look better than us because they know some math?

Well as you probably understood I am bullish on @FluidTokens

It was an idea and now it's alive :)

I keep reading people promising stuff that will be possible on Bitcoin

90% of that is just pure air fried🪄

So here a 🧵about

What is REALLY possible with BitVM right now.Image
Let's start with the basic

Logic circuits.

These circuits are the basic lego piece to build computers and circuits, allows given an input of bytes:

01001

to get an output

0 or 1

(the output could even be a series of bytes 0100)

This is very important because it allows you to create calculators that are able to compute any possible sum or difference

So the logic circuit becomes a magic box 📦

If you throw inside some numbers like 2 and 4
You can take out the result: 6Image
Second step:

Bit commitment

On Bitcoin you can allow users to select a value
0 or 1 for a parameter in the transaction

I can have many parameters

This means that I can build logic circuits on Bitcoin

Basically allowing our magic box📦to live on Bitcoin

However this magic box is limited.

Let's say it's a calculator

We can have a utxo that is spendable if I provide a correct sum:

1+1=2
1+2=3

Any of the above conditions is okImage

Managed to read all the @BTC_OS whitepaper so you don't have to

Here an optimistic 🧵Image
Btw I really hope you follow me otherwise don't complain if you miss alphas

👉 @ElRaulito_cnft

Let's start

So far we have been used to wrapped bridges

Wrapped bridges lock assets in a multisig address and mint them on the other chain

🟢This approach is very fast
🔴You have a degree of trust involved

And even if trust is not involved you still need the operators to be online to sign your tx and reach the consensusImage
Image
Let's try a different approach, an optimistic one with zk proofs

"Raul stop using buzzy words, I don't get them"

Ok let's make it simpler

Instead of relying on a multisig bridges were operators need to reach a consensus and agree that the bridging transaction is correct

1⃣ I will send bitcoin to a bitcoin address that unlocks only when I burn the zkBTC on the other side

2⃣ I can mint zkBTC using just the proof that I locked the btc in the right address

3⃣ I don't need operators to get a consensus, they will act only if I am using a fake proof to stop it, this means that I need only 1 legit operator and my briding transaction will work

Let's repeat:

🔹In zk bridges you need only 1 operator that is honest (and ideally 🫵can become an operator)
🔹In multisig bridges you need N operators that are honest where N is the threshold of the multisig

Some assumptions were made, and probably will explain them another day

The level of trust is way lower in this case.
Where is the con side? Usually with zk involved is speed.
However there are many cool strategies to speed up the process.

I spent last days reading the specification of CAT20

A new standard to issue tokens on Bitcoin fork Fractal, a chain with OP_CAT enabled (needed to run smart contracts on Bitcoin)

Here you will find all the informations you need to rule over CAT20 👇🧵Image
1⃣ Is it true that it doesn't require offchain Indexers?

FAKE NEWS

Users need to interact with the utxo of the Covenant (utxo that have conditions to be spent)

This utxo must be tracked somehow, and even if the procedure is not like runes or brc20, it still requires an indexer or a way to track it.

Then why everyone says you don't need indexers?

Because the only way to mint/transfer tokens is to interact with the covenant, this means that if the transaction was able to make it on the chain, I have the tokens and can prove it without offchain indexers.Image
2⃣ Finally utxos can be programmed on Bitcoin

Covenants enforce conditions on the outputs, inputs, state update in order to spend a certain utxo

This can be used to create AMM, instant liquidity loans and much more

Probably the coolest application I have seen on Fractal is how they use recursive coventants :

🔄Basically a covenant that enforce at least one output to go back to the script.

Essentially is how you get a state machine on bitcoin.Image

Today a Big Snek dropped on Cardano mempool causing some issues

Looking for an informative 🧵?

Here you go 👇Image
Today was the launch day of @snekdotfun on Cardano

A new project that allows users to launch memes in few clicks aiming to onboard the degens from other chains

The project developed by @snek , the main memecoin of Cardano was hyped like nothing in the last months. Image
The platform reached 20,000 users in less than 10 seconds and that would have been great, however all those users had to face two issues:

🔹Mempool size

🔹Overstimation of TxBuilders Image

🚨 Real-World Assets (RWA) Have Officially Landed on Cardano! 🚨

What’s even cooler? You use Cardano blockchain without even realizing it.

Curious about how you can get involved and potentially earn a 10% return?

Dive into the thread below to find out! 🧵👇Image
Finest uses a web2 like interface for the users login

This means that your granma can use finest!

Each user gets a Cardano an Polygon address and keys are encrypted so finest is NOT CUSTODIAL.

But why 2 chains? 👇Image
Polygon is used as payment framework with USDC as stablecoin

Cardano is used as token network to mint the RWA

The perfect example of interoperability.

Your granma can get USDC using credit Card, something everyone is used to do in Web2

USDM support coming soonImage

The ultimate guide to maximizing your $ADA yield with DeFi

A 🧵
Cardano is a PoS chain, therefore you earn rewards just by holding the network token: $ADA

Current APR is 2.8% and the only thing you need to do is

🔹Pick a stake pool
🔹Delegate your ADA
🔹 Claim your rewards every epoch (5 days period)

No lockup, no slashing.
Clean PoS.

However DeFi is a thing on Cardano, and you can decide to fade it or make your $ADA grow even more.

In this 🧵we'll check the best opportunities that have zero financial risks.

Make sure to follow @ElRaulito_cnft if you care about your bags.Image
1⃣ Supply $ADA on Liqwid
3% APR + 5% LQ rewards

Liqwid is a pooled lending protocol. Providing liquidity earns you an APR on the tokens supplied, plus additional rewards in $LQ, the protocol's native token.

🔹 Supply $ADA
🔹 Claim $LQ rewards every 7 days
🔹 Withdraw your $ADA anytime (you'll receive your initial provision plus the rewards in $ADA)

Smart contracts inherently carry some risk compared to native staking. However, the protocol has a solid track record and is designed to always allow users to withdraw their supplied liquidity.Image
