21 Attendees Share Their Takeaways from #ETHDenver2024

šŸ§µ1/24šŸ‘‡ Image šŸ§µ2/24
The inevitable question: "How was #ETHDenver2024?" seemed impossible to answer... the event was too big to get a proper sample.

Instead, we asked everybody we met to share their takeaways, and 21 were kind enough to so!

Excerpts follow, full quotes in article at end... Image

But we've given up using it more for complex tasks.

Perhaps written text may also suffer from the same "uncanny valley" problem that's long plagued CGI images? Image

June 26, 2023: $crvUSD Monetary Policy šŸ§®šŸ“ˆ

The rates are too high! Can't Powell do something?

Not much. The $crvUSD borrow rate is governed by math and onchain inputs, so Fed Chair Jerome Powell would have limited tools at his disposal.

Here's how it works...

šŸ§µ1/13šŸ‘‡ šŸ§µ2/13
$crvUSD's borrow rate has whipsawed from nearly 0% to 10% multiple times in the weeks since launch.

The Monetary Policy contract is responsible.

This contract considers the balances in the Peg Keeper pools and the debts of the Peg Keepers to set this borrow rate.

Why is @LybraFinanceLSD's stablecoin trading above its peg?

Plus, Goldman Gary helps test $crvUSD

šŸ§µ1/9šŸ‘‡ Image šŸ§µ2/9
Who wants stability? Boring markets have made it tough to test soft liquidations for $crvUSD.

Duplicitous double-dealing in DC to the rescue!

Market dumps gave two good stress tests, during which the stablecoin performed within expectations.

What to expect from the launch of @CurveFinance's next generation of pools.

Exciting month for Curve, not just the continuing $crvUSD rollout, now also the launch of TriCrypto:NG.

What should you expect?

TriCrypto:NG math is described as "unimaginable"

It's no exaggeration! We hope to offer a semi-technical dive for tomorrow's post.

These two screenshots show very high yields.

Who cares... these yields will come down, right? Most likely true.

But what's interesting is you get BOTH yields.

New $CRV Gauges include $MATIC, $LDO, $CLEV, $T, $JPEG, $MIM, $STG, $MET + more

Why are so many new @CurveFinance v2 pools getting gauges all of a sudden?

šŸ§µ1/13šŸ‘‡ šŸ§µ2/13
Once upon a time, a new token or crypto project most wanted a listing on a CEX.

Now, they want a $CRV gauge.

There's many reasons why tapping into Curve emissions has become so popular recently.
