Layer is making @WAVS_WAVS_WAVS the event-driven framework for distributed architectures. Ship fast with verifiable offchain compute.


Phew hopefully @aave solves this. But this is the risk non-isolated lending which everyone loves has. Good scaling properties but higher risks -> risk management is the key (Aave was historically very good with it). It is possible to go fully isolated like markets on @CurveFinance, or one can do hybrid (very complex but very possible). But so far the market did not understand what the advantages are. Maybe Aave v4 hub and spoke model is a step towards the semi-isolated safer direction!



For one, I believe that audits (for code bugs) are one of the things that DeFi does get right. And better audits or formal verification wouldn't have prevented most of the recent exploits: Resolv, Drift > private key compromise + lack to timelock and other circuit breakers Venus Protocol > economic attack, flagged by audits but ignored Aperture Finance, Solv > bugs in unaudited contracts Makina Finance > vault logic compromise, OOS for audits In TradFi, companies are mandated to do thorough risk management by law. In DeFi, we're not. Solution? More social consensus that DeFi needs to learn to take better care of its risks. This already works with code audits - everyone believes that a protocol that doesn't have code reviewed by security experts can't be taken seriously. It also works for L2s because we have @l2beat. Comparably, we don't have nearly as good insight into the admin control levels of major DeFi protocol deployments. Similarly, we know far more about how to exit L2s in times of crisis than how to exit major DeFi protocols if/when their admin decides to do something funky. EF doesn't need to pick and choose some favorite protocols. But it would be nice to recognize that there's a crisis in "low-risk" DeFi and push for a more principled approach, where risk management goes beyond looking for bugs in the code.



hope isn’t passive it’s a decision to keep building to keep funding what matters to keep showing up especially when it would be easier not to hope is a strategy and it starts by backing the builders doing real work support what you depend on learn more + join our next gitcoin round ↓ gitcoin.co
