[1/π§΅] The bullrun seems to be just around the corner, and everyone is teasing us with yield and XRPFi protocols. π§
Regardless of whether you decide to hold or sell...
Let's take a look at "Lending" and check if it's worth it. π
[2/14] β 1β£ Money Markets β
Before we do just that, let's quickly clarify a specific word first.
Behind the terms "Lending" and "Borrowing" actually hides another term that you will see from time to time:

[1/π§΅] A MASSIVE attack on the JavaScript ecosystem is currently underway. βΉοΈ
Since JavaScript is at the heart of what we use every day to browse the internet, you MUST be extra vigilant.
Let's take a look at a possible solution for the XRP ecosystem. ππ§΅
[2/13] β 1β£ First things first β
Although the entire JavaScript ecosystem is at risk, the malware appears to be targeting only a few blockchain ecosystems, based on the addresses it uses to steal funds:

[1/π§΅] You've probably heard about new yield opportunities with XRP that promise a return of around 20% APY. π§
How much truth is there to this, and what happens if you actually connect to @moremarketsxyz and deposit funds? π
[2/14] β 1β£ First things first β
π I want you to repeat after me:
"I will not deposit all my XRP into completely new DeFi protocols right after their launch, no matter the yield"

[1/π§΅] What's still upcoming and in the pipeline for the XRP Ledger? π§
My attempt to summarize what the brilliant @aanchalmalhotre "casually" laid out in a 25-minute talk at XRPL Apex this year. π
[2/15] β 1β£ Key-Challenges β
Privacy and compliance are at odds with each other, and balance is key.
A lot of what the TradFi world is used to and expects still doesn't exist or is purposefully different in blockchains, like transparent transactions or low confidentiality.
With all these new integrations and partnerships, I bet you are pretty much overwhelmed by all the alien-like jargon. π€¨
A little vocabulary crash course ahead π
[2/20] β 1β£ Overview β
What just happened today is nothing less than the complete onboarding of the XRPL to the vast and entire web3 blockchain ecosystem (+ Bridging protocols and available liquidity).
π All via the XRPLEVM sidechain, Axelar and @squidrouter.

[1/π§΅] There's a new site from @Satish_nl that you should definitely check out! π§
It's @xpert_page and from what I've seen so far, it's a mix of a "mini-CV" + donation functionality via XRPL and XAHL for your online (project-) presence. π
Let's take a look at what's inside π
[2/9] β Featured Creators β
It's all brand new, so there're only a few personal pages & project pages active right now.
Later the idea is to have a complete XRPL & XAHL-based project directory that you can browse through & donate to if you want to support the guys behind it π₯

[1/π§΅] Tokenization, Ripple, Hidden Road & XRP!
A lot has happened in the last few days, and I feel like people don't really grasp the magnitude of what this means for the XRP Ledger. π€¨
Let's take a look at some numbers & address the topic from my beloved "1%" perspective. π
[2/16] β 1β£ Status Quo β
The XRP Ledger as it stands now handles around ~100 transactions per ledger.
If we assume a ledger to continuously close and finalize every ~4 seconds, this brings us to ~25 TPS on average.

[1/π§΅] Over the last few days, many newcomers have asked me one question, and one question only:
βWhat do I need to keep in mind if I want to hold my keys in self-custody on the XRP Ledger?β
Self-Custody doesn't simply mean holding your own private keys to control your own account on the XRPL.
There's also the psychological effect that is about personal responsibility for all that happens.

[1/π§΅] XRP Ledger Vocabulary Overview βΌοΈ

[1/π§΅] The XRP Ledger is particularly superior when it comes to the fundamental task of moving value.
Although there are limits, we are about to overcome them big time! But how? π€¨
Follow me as I show you all the missing blocks π
[2/15] β 1β£ Fundamentals β
What makes the XRP Ledger so great is that "things just work". π
To move value from A to B, you don't need a master's degree, because every single imaginable feature is engineered deep into the core.

[1/π§΅] A paradigm shift for the XRP Ledger is on the horizon βΌοΈ
It's a future that's:
πΈ Programmable
πΈ Automated
πΈ Compliance-first
Let's take a look at some of the fundamental arguments and work out what this will mean for XRP. π
[2/18] β 1β£ Status Quo β
To date, the XRPL is a so-called βfixed-functionβ blockchain, which only allows new native features to be added to the XRP Ledger if the on-chain governance process votes in favor of it.
If you're a pessimist, you would call this βpermissionedβ. π

[1/π§΅] One of the more fundamental proposals became public today. It's a draft that lays out a path to an inheritance solution for the XRP Ledger. π§
In my view, this is so much more than βjustβ an inheritance solution.
