Insightful read about Type-3 stablecoin proposed by @capmoney_ , one of the coolest design I have seen in a while and I want to simplify a bit.
In yield generating stablecoin today, we have 2 major types:
Type 1: Tokenised hedge fund
Type 2: DAO-allocated yield strategy
🧵
1/
Type 1 Stable:
(Tokenised hedge fund)
Marketplace where project utilise user's deposits to generate yield while the team gets the final say over the model and resource allocation.
This design is the most common because it's relatively simple to launch by focusing on one or few strategies.
But the trade off is that no strategy can sustain above-market yields forever and therefore losing TVL to certain strategy depending on market condition.
A DAO / committee that can delegate user deposits to get expose for various yield strategies.
Committee are the decision maker instead of the project, and token holders can delegate their token (aka voting power) to professional delegates such as @EntropyAdvisors / @Blockworks_ / @SteakhouseFi to maximise protocol return.
The tradeoff would be group corruption (Bribing is common in DAO-driven structure) and the lack of efficiency due to the stage of processing.

2/ 1️⃣ [Team]
Pendle was founded in 2021, the team is mostly based in SG.
Core members include:
CEO @tn_pendle
CTO @gabavineb
Head of Institutional @imkenchia
Growth lead: @DDangleDan
...
Despite being a small team, they are extremely motivated and capable of building coolshit
I did a light comparison between @eigenlayer , @symbioticfi and @Karak_Network.
A thread 🧵 👇 (x/31)
In this thread, I will cover:
1) What is AVS and re-staking? 2) The key architecture and metrics of Eigen, Karak, and Symbiotic (🎯 P.5) 3) The comparison (🎯 P.21) 4) Conclusion (🎯 P.27)
This is a light comparison.
LRT, AVS eco, Risk will be covered in da next thread 🏄♂️
1/ What is AVS and re-staking?
AVS stands for Actively Validated Service.
This term basically describes any network that requires its own validation system (E.g., oracles, DA, bridges etc)
In this thread, AVSs can be understood as projects that uses the re-staking service.
Many are calling TAO the future of decentralized AI.
However, what really make them stand out from the other AI?
Is it their subnet? Is it the Yuma consensus?
Or their incentive structure?
A 5 mins digestive research on @opentensor, with an overview of the subnet ecosystem 🧵
In this thread, I will talk about:
1️⃣ TAO Background
2️⃣ Why TAO?
3️⃣ Overview on TAO architecture 🎯 6/
4️⃣ The TAO subnet
5️⃣ How validation works in TAO?
6️⃣ How mining works in TAO?
7️⃣ The ecosystem of TAO-Subnet 🎯 16/
8️⃣ Tokenomics 🎯 22/
Without further ado, Let's dive in.
1/ WTF is TAO?
TAO, aka @opentensor is a POW network designed to continuously reward and incentivize new/improved development of AI/ML models via "TAO economy"
In simple words, Bittensor is paying you to build AI together.
Before going deeper, let's look at TAO's background.
