@RAILGUN_Project

1/ The tradeoff of public blockchains is the consequent lack of privacy.

@RAILGUN_Project enters the space as an on-chain privacy solution that utilizes zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography to enable private asset storage, transactions, and smart contract calls across base layers.🧵

@RAILGUN_Project

2/ How does @RAILGUN_Project work?

To use RAILGUN, users must first “shield” their assets.

Users send assets to their public RAILGUN 0x address where they can then funnel said assets to RAILGUN’s privacy pool making their particular tokens unidentifiable.

@RAILGUN_Project

3/ To transact within the RAILGUN Privacy System, users broadcast encrypted information paying fees to a Relayer, who acts as the public intermediary by submitting transactions to the underlying blockchain.

@RAILGUN_Project efficacy depends on the total value held in the system.

1/ The current scientific research landscape often prioritizes reputation at the expense of transparency and innovation.

Enter the decentralized science (DeSci), an approach aimed at fostering open collaboration and scientific progress.🧵

2/ What's wrong with the current scientific research ecosystem?

Problems can be broken into three pillars:

+Centralized Decision-Making and Funding
+Poor Methodology and Data Transparency
+Unincentivized Review and Gate-Kept Publishing

3/ Open Science sought to resolve these issues with its commitment to open and FAIR data, manuscripts, and collaboration.

While a step in the right direction, additional coordination, incentivization, and verification tools are needed to bring in the next wave of open research.

@OlympusDAO

1/ Known for its experiments in game theory and incentives design, @OlympusDAO is shifting its focus to the stability and adoption of $OHM.

Despite early initiatives in 2023 aimed at this focus, the adoption of $OHM has suffered at the expense of its fixed 7.35% staking rate.🧵

@OlympusDAO

2/ One of the aforementioned initiatives aimed at creating stability was @OlympusDAO's introduction of a Range-Bound Stability (RBS) system.

The RBS system works by guiding market participants with economic incentives.

3/ While the RBS system checked the stability box, $OHM’s current staking rate of 7.35% fails to account for the market’s actual demand.

As a result, it has resulted in the slow dilution of OHM’s liquid backing.

@Balancer

1/ Quantitative models can be powerful in advancing our understanding of the incentives and tokenomic mechanisms employed.

Originally designed to disincentivize reward farmers, @Balancer's vote escrow tokenomics create a unique relationship between $BAL price and veBAL Yield. 🧵

@Balancer

2/ How does @Balancer work?

Balancer is a DEX that allows liquidity providers (LPs) to create liquidity pools where users can deposit assets for Balancer Pool Tokens (BPTs), which track their share of the pool.

Traders can interact with these pools for a fee.

@Balancer

2/ @Balancer created boosted pools to increase capital efficiency for LPs.

Boosted pools enable depositors to earn yield from both trading fees as well as interest.

For each dollar of fees paid, LPs get $0.50, the DAO treasury gets $0.175 and veBAL lockers get $0.325.

@EOSnFoundation

1/ Once considered one of the most promising developments in the L1 space, #EOS failed to live up to early expectations.

Under the direction of the @EOSnFoundation, #EOS has found new life with plans for a consensus mechanism upgrade, EVM solution, & a renewed growth strategy.🧵

2/ Let's start by looking at the #EOS's tech stack.

~Consesus

#EOS is a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) based blockchain that uses the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) variant Delegated PoS (DPoS), allowing $EOS token holders to delegate their tokens to block producers (BPs).

3/ ~Computation

#EOS currently writes smart contracts in C++, with SDKs for Rust, Go, and AssemblyScript.

Developer teams are also building an EVM solution that supports Solidity.

@ArweaveEco

1/ @ArweaveEco's focus on providing a solution for users looking to store data permanently has created a unique market opportunity, setting it apart from established cloud storage providers like @amazon and @Google.

Let's explore its use cases and the factors driving demand.🧵

@ArweaveEco

2/ @ArweaveEco connects people who have hard drive space with users looking to store data permanently.

Arweave uses a blockchain-like structure called a blockweave, to enable scalable on-chain storage and a data structure called the "Weave" to store data permanently.

@ArweaveEco

3/ Looking at demand, @ArweaveEco's "Weave" expanded by 135%, reaching 134 TB over the past year.

While this growth may seem insignificant compared to Filecoin's growth of 1390% to 687,900 TB of storage in the same period, @Filecoin is focused on temporary storage.
