Few people realize that a large-scale arms race is currently happening openly on @base.
One side is the biggest DeFi venue in the world, while the other is a cartel of VC-controlled pawns.
One side spends cash, and the other throws gov tokens into the pit as if there's no tomorrow.
At Aave, since our resources are a flow (local profits + from other instances) and theirs are a stock (gov tokens only as they don't have revenue), we can safely raise the bids to make their side feel *phyrric* about any outcome.
They signed fixed-term deals, and raising the stakes is creating a black hole in their resources, a concern Aave simply doesn't face.
Years from now, analysts will write extensively about how this war shaped the future of DeFi.
Meanwhile, as a bystander, feel free to enjoy the gud yield the war creates.
Just Use Aave.

With the adoption of Umbrella the “seize and sell” doctrine hurtful for peg, value and inefficient is replaced by a “seize and burn” doctrine using GHO and aTokens
For up to billions of coverage at controlled cost.
The Aave Liquidity Committee, strong of GHO experience, takes the lead on AAVE secondary liquidity with the deprecation of StkBPT
With the goal to automate the process as much as possible
Today's #Frenchchart is a preview of an arb opportunity allowed by Aave V3 emode.
To allow it :
V3 deployed ✅
rETH snapshot vote starts tmr 🔃
cbETH AIP this week 🔃
wETH interest rate new parameters vote start tmr 🔃
Read the next tweet for how it works & risks!
This strategy use leverage to benefit on peg deviation of two Liquid staking derivative cbETH (coinbase) (underpeg of ~2%) and rETH (rocketPool) (overpeg of 1%)
It leverages emode to increase position size and eat that derivation theoretically up to x10 (don't do max leverage)
The whole bet is when the shanghai upgrade is activated, LSDs will be arb back to peg.
This is what happened with others networks allowing unstaking such as Matic.
But nothing is guaranteed, and even if that works, it might take longer than you're comfortable holding.
probably not very wise for me to share, but as renBTC is sunsetting and TC is "ded"
here's a #frenchchart of one of the last available ways to get some privacy on-chain
reminder there are two levels of privacy:
"public" privacy -> just deposit to CeFi withdraw to new address, state, law and CeFi will know but not anon0x12456, don't think there's a legal issue here
general privacy -> use Bitcoin mixers, that goes from grey to straight illegal
I'm not a lawyer, do your own research, and don't be an idiot. If you use a mixer, stay there for a LONG while and exit slowly and in chunks.
privacy is a right I defend.
but the law is the law so make your own decisions.
