Did you know that on many exchanges, 50% of funds held on the exchange aren't being used in an active trade?

They're simply being held in exchange wallets, greatly increasing users' counterparty risk.

We built Kollider to *significantly* decrease this risk.

Here's how. All exchanges carry risks for users.

Centralized exchanges can have their wallets hacked, and DEXs can have their smart contracts exploited.

Users are taking on risk when they transfer their funds to these exchanges.

What if sending money were as easy as sending an email?

And what if you could do it globally, instantaneously, with minimal fees?

With Lightning Addresses, it's really that easy.

Simple, human-readable account names for global transactions. Image Lightning Addresses are simple usernames that look just like email addresses. Except they're accounts that allow you to accept Lightning payments.

For example: kollider@kollider.me

That's a real Lightning Address from which we can send and receive payments.

Yesterday we published an article comparing two platforms— Nostr and Substack Notes— that take very different approaches.

Let's discuss 🧵 Image Substack Notes provides a new platform for short-form content within Substack.

A short 🧵 explaining how we do it.

⚡️🚀 In many traditional exchanges, 50% of the funds on the exchange aren't actively being used for trading.

Why? A number of reasons. But one is that moving money onto, off of, and between exchanges is slow and expensive.
