2/ Firstly, it would be good to understand what ordinals are, and if it's your first time hearing that, don't sweat it.
Check out this thread first to come up to speed on Ordinals.
1/18 The whitepaper for @eigenlayer recently dropped.
But what is EigenLayer?
In short, EigenLayer enables $ETH restaking, which gives staked $ETH utility in being used to secure additional networks.
How is this possible? Let's dig in.
🧵👇
2/ Ethereum staking involves validators locking 32 $ETH to enhance network security.
But staked $ETH can't be used for anything once staked.
@LidoFinance stETH, a liquid staking derivative that issues wrapped assets representing the staked $ETH, addressed this inefficiency.

1/ The long awaited $sBTC whitepaper just dropped.
Nothing can beat a firsthand read of the paper yourself, but having read through the whole thing, here are a few key takeaways and topics to focus on:
2/ Trustlessly using native #Bitcoin for smart contract applications (dApps, DeFi, etc) has remained an elusive "holy grail".
The fundamental challenge is Bitcoin itself is not programmable. Some may say this is a flaw in Bitcoin, while others believe this is a core strength.

Stable coins like $UST are hard to keep stable.
In fact, any tokenized asset is difficult to keep pegged to its underlying value. (Stable coins are really just a subset of tokenized assets - tokenized fiat USD)
Here's why tokenizing assets (of any kind) is a challenge...
🧵
Let's start with tokenized fiat USD, ie stable coins.
The most *direct* way to tokenize USD is to have a bank account of actual USD, and issue a stable coin like $USDC that is 1:1 matched to USD held in a centralized, traditional bank account.
Obviously this has issues...

Noticing healthy skepticism about @Stacks and its claim to be "smart contracts for #Bitcoin."
How does $STX do it?
Most people have heard that $STX chain state is secured on $BTC in each block, so that the BTC chain is the ultimate source of truth for Stacks.
To which a natural response is often:
"So what? Any chain could write its state to BTC!"
