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.
Yet, high fee and the lack of programmability have become a burden of many ZK-apps 😢.
Along with $TIA & @0xPolygonLabs zkEVM, Manta will provide the scalability & lower fees needed for zk-app.
A digestible research on @MantaNetwork 🧵
1/ In this thread, I will cover:
1️⃣ Why do we need on-chain privacy?
2️⃣ What is Manta Pacific?
3️⃣ The core piece of Manta, Universal Circuit
4️⃣ ZK shuffle
5️⃣ The role of Celestia and Polygon zkevm
6️⃣ Manta Ecosystem & Roadmap
7️⃣ $Manta airdrop
8️⃣ Conclusion
Let's dive in now 🥽
2/ 1️⃣ Why do we need on-chain privacy?
Public blockchains are known for their transparency and for enabling transactions without intermediaries.
While this is crucial, privacy is still demanded by users/institution who don't wish their on-chain activities to be an "open-book."
Active wallet addresses jumped from 250K to 450K between Oct and Nov, a 170% growth in just a month.
This suggests that interest in solana ecosystem and some farming activity (for airdrop speculation etc) have been growing rapidly over the past few weeks.
