Looks like @coinbase just partnered up with @optimismFND in the L2 arms race! Let's take a glance at the current most important person in the room: @buildonbase!
1/🧵
2/🧵 Why is it a big deal? Some bullet points:
→ Coinbase is the biggest American exchange, and they'll onboard their 110m+ users into #DeFi
→ It'll be their on-chain base of operations
→ They'll build a bridge from Base to most L1s, L2s, and non-EVMs like #BTC and #SOL
3/🧵 @coinbase and @optimismFND first worked together helping develop #EIP4844, an update that will rise #ETH's TPS to 1,000, as a way to allow L2s to achieve exponential cost savings, making crypto affordable for mainstream users.
4/🧵 Base is the first project to build on top of Optimism's Superchain - a network of L2 chains seeking to make launching an L2 as trivial as creating an #ETH smart contract.
How? By sharing security, a communication layer, and an open-source tech stack with all L2s in it.
5/🧵 @buildonbase sees itself as a bridge, aiming to simplify the on-chain experience for new users and allow them access to products on other chains in the simplest way.
This means that users will have access to #Coinbase products and as many other chains as possible!
6/🧵 OP wants to build a chain to kill all chains, standardizing and allowing them to be interchangeable. Developers won't just be building apps for Base or Optimism, but for the #superchain as a whole. Talk about #interoperable!
7/🧵 As a consequence of that, a portion of Base transaction fees will go towards the Optimism Collective Treasury, which aims to keep building the #superchain bigger and integrating more L2s within it.
8/🧵 But is it bullish?
Big teams like @SushiSwap are already pledging support for the new chain. Looks like major DEXes already have their sights set on being the first ones to arrive on it. I'd be getting ready for a @buildonbase season soon!
9/END🧵
All in all, it sounds like a positive thing for crypto: Raising interoperability, onboarding new users, and making #ETH better are always a green light for us!
Like and follow for more! We'll be cooking up something of our own... #SOON.

Fragmented liquidity (FL) is one of the main reasons for DeFi's untapped potential.
The good news? The solution is already here, and we’re the pioneers of implementing it on a Perps DEX.
In this thread, we'll talk about the state of FL and a part of the solution.
🧵
1/ What we’re addressing in this thread:
1️⃣ What is liquidity fragmentation?
2️⃣ Old solutions (6th tweet)
3️⃣ The case for LSTs (13th tweet)
4️⃣ How is Zaros implementing it (16th tweet)
But first, let me summarize it for you.
2/ TLDR:
LSTs are a super collateral that may start solving liquidity fragmentation. They have native yield and the most liquidity from any other on-chain asset.
Zaros is using LSTs as collateral to increase liquidity for traders while boosting its holders’ APY.
Tired of your mobile wallet freezing when you need to jeet illiquid shitcoins? Had enough of losing money just because you had to leave the house and couldn't trade on-chain properly?
Good news: @Uniswap launched their mobile wallet. Here's how it'll make your life easier 🧵🧵
1/ One of the largest centralized exchanges, @coinbase, are developing their own chain, @BuildOnBase. People are shifting from centralized to decentralized: millions of new users will go into #DeFi.
Guess what? Their liquidity will go to protocols with the best user experience.
2/ And if you're anything like us, many moments of agony were spent trying to make urgent trades on mobile wallets: Badly ported websites, faulty wallet connects, pages that didn't load, swaps that didn't work... Let's just say money was left on the table.
America is quickly falling out of grace as the world's crypto hub, and Hong Kong is stepping up to take its place.
Let's break it down: 🧵
1/ After crypto-friendly banks Signature, Silvergate, and Sillicon Valley Bank shut their doors, crypto companies were left with few options to partner with.
Banks small and large are closing doors to web3 companies due to regulatory scrutiny. And who can blame them?
2/ After FTX collapsed, the SEC started dozens of actions against multiple crypto projects, and the Federal Reserve and FDIC are currently fearmongering banks into cutting ties with the crypto industry as a whole.
Since $ARB, everyone has been dying to get onto the next big airdrop.
For this reason, we made this Airdrop Megathread 2023 - Never miss a thing edition featuring 13 different projects and a link at the end. (Most are unconfirmed airdrops. DYOR)
With 2/3 tokens reserved for the ecosystem, there are high chances for an airdrop!
- Add zkSync era mainnet (chainlist.com)
- Bridge funds to zkSync
- Interact with the zkSync eco (provide liquidity, swap on the main dexes, buy early projects)
StarkNet is a layer 2 ZK-rollup. 9% of it is going to its users.
- Install the ArgentX wallet
- Interact with protocols live on the ecosystem (10KSwap, zkLend)
- Lend and borrow on zkLend, swap/provide liquidity on 10KSwap
- Mint an NFT on Mintsquare
With promising new projects promising cross-chain capabilities, many people overlook the OGs in the space and what they're doing: Enter @chainlink, building #CCIP.
And they've already got a major player using it: @swiftcommunity
Here's how it'll be a game changer 👇
1/🧵
#CCIP stands for Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, and it allows developers to build Omnichain-capable dApps.
This means that the days of having to integrate every single chain individually are over.
2/🧵
It opens up a myriad of possibilities for users too! All the hassle of having to use unsafe bridges/shady CEXes just to get into a new chain? Gone.
Here are some examples of how it'll completely change user experience in #DeFi:
