What happened to @solendprotocol?

It is a decentralized lending platform on #Solana that has been facing community backlash after its recent actions that seem to go against the ethos of decentralization. A summary 🧵👇

#WebTr3e 🌳 #DeFi #Crypto #Solend Just 2-3 weeks ago, $BTC’s poor price action led to a massive sell-off in major altcoins such as $ETH and $SOL, which reached lows of $881.56 and $25.86, respectively. This also led to on-chain liquidations at the $1K-$1.1K level, according to @parsec_finance.

#Bitcoin pulled back on Thursday, falling by 8.54%. It found support below the key $39.5k level. Price retested the downward channel which it broke out of on Wednesday during US trading hours.

Read more: 🧵👇 #Ethereum’s $ETH has hit through the trailing stop loss at $2577 yesterday afternoon. We suggest observing retest of the $2350-2550 base area + trendline since Feb 2021 on a daily chart which also serves the lower bound of the wedge.

So you’ve heard about Proof-of-Work (PoW) 🔨 being used in #Bitcoin and #Ethereum, what about Proof-of-Stake (PoS) 💰? Read on!

If you’re unfamiliar with PoW, read our previous thread here:

🧵👇 Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake are both consensus mechanisms or algorithms that ensure the security of the #blockchain. 🔒

In simple terms, they are used to select which participants/nodes should be given the chance and authority to add a block to the chain.
