JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Coinbase launches Bitcoin loans for US users.

@ViktorBunin Why do you "hate to say it?" As an $ATOM #validator we are pumped the @cosmoshub has more going for it than ever before.

I hate to say this but I agree. Cosmos is the least consensus, most written off bet in the market relative to its ecosystems fundamentals.

I don't think you understand what's going on here. ArkProtocol NFT's will be minted on CosmosHub and the image data will live on-chain but they can be moved to any chain after mint and be sold on any marketplace. Stargaze and other marketplaces are adopting the new NFT standard that is used for Ark NFT minting because it's better than the current standard and in fact the concept was started by Stargaze before Ark came in and built it out and it's open source so anyone is free to use it and shouldn't have pushback when it is used. This has nothing to do with where you sell your NFT's and everything to do with making sure NFT's live forever. Currently the image metadata for NFTs isn't stored on-chain in most instances but even when it is it's stored on a storage service that requires payment, if the account isn't paid then your NFT loses all image data and you're stuck with a useless NFT. Even services that offer free storage pose a threat because if the project shuts down then all data is lost but also because they're almost always backed by web2 cloud that means your NFT is never truly a web3 product. Having NFT metadata on the CosmosHub chain means that even if the whole chain were to shut down in some apocalyptic scenario, you could spin up your own node and still have the data. With billions of people in the world it is very unlikely that you could ever lose your NFT metadata as long as it's on CosmosHub. It's also hacker proof unlike other storage options that are based in web2 as long as the keys are burned or multisig is used in conjunction with DAO control for the contract. Literally nothing about this can be construed as a negative for the industry or minters. As far as being competition to Stargaze's launchpad, I say it's a positive thing. Competition breeds innovation and lower fees for everyone and lack of competition fails to push anyone to better their product and creates a monopoly so they can hold artist, founders, and minters hostage to whatever price they dictate. If Stargaze launchpad wants to stay competitive then all they have to do is innovate their product and be competitive on fees, the best product will win in the end in a free market. They also have a huge headstart so it's not like people will move 100% overnight to @arkprotocol even if it's 1000% better, so they have time to adjust and innovate to keep people coming back to their product. I hope this clears up the misconception that NFTs minted on CosmosHub won't be on Stargaze, they'll be on every IBC enabled chain eventually and they'll be fully on-chain which has always been the end goal.

@sandeepnailwal @AllezLabs @yearnfi Welcome to the way of decentralized governance. This is what has been a black eye for @cosmoshub for a long time. It's unavoidable growing pain.

BIG UPDATE REGARDING STAKE THE BRIDGE AND AAVE SITUATION! A few days back @AllezLabs and @Yearnfi put up a “Pre-PIP”, a proposal for the proposal, to enable staking of Polygon PoS bridge funds. The Polygon community made their voice heard and was generally against the proposal. I personally spoke to 50+ community members and feel that the pre-proposal in its current form does not address some of the concerns of the community and hence I am also unsupportive of the proposal. Considering many other Polygon community members, this STB pre-proposal looks to be rejected. Voicing loudly opinions against a proposal is a huge success of Polygon Governance. NOW! Let's talk about what Aave leadership did here, but first a few facts: Aave Campaigned Hard for the similar proposition previously When this pre-proposal was first brought into discussion, Aave leadership was super excited about it and lobbied heavily to make sure the bridge funds go to Aave deployment. During the public RFP process on Polygon Governance portal, Aave leadership had multiple meetings and invited Polygon Labs leadership to various dinner meetings and presentations to garner Polygon Labs support to “select Aave” for stake the bridge process. They posted their own pre-PIP, which generated very little conversation in the Polygon community. What Morpho Did Differently Considering what Morpho wanted to bring into the Polygon ecosystem — huge grants to Polygon Defi community as incentives, superior decentralisation and control over contracts for the Polygon community, as well as very simple smart contracts with fewer attack vectors — Morpho got a head start in garnering other community members who were supportive of their vision of STBl. In this version, Aave was still going to receive a large part of the yield for its users on Polygon POS deployment. Aave Attacking Polygon Once there was some traction after Morpho (and others) posted their pre-PIP, Marc Zeller — a vocal delegate in the Aave community —posted a vicious threat proposing to discontinue Aave deployment on Polygon PoS bringing huge hassle to their users, just to make sure that the biggest and fastest-rising competitor to Aave - Morpho — didn’t get the growth boost from STB. The proposal disregards the security measures already in place and feels more like “sour grapes” than a constructive contribution to the dialogue. Ironically, this move would harm the very users it claims to protect by disrupting their access to a stable and thriving DeFi ecosystem. It's hypocritical to claim concern for user security while simultaneously attempting to destabilize an ecosystem that so many depend on. To underscore just how personal this attack was, a prominent Aave leader even went as far as tweeting, "Operation Polygon(e)." This is extremely monopolistic and anti-competitive behaviour from Aave leadership and not at all aligned with the Ethos of Web3. This is a prominent example of a DAO leadership engaging in anti-competitive tactics and bullying other ecosystems to play to their tune. The Polygon community should not be intimidated by monopolistic tactics or aggression and should continue to explore innovative mechanisms to achieve more success. Our commitment is to a thriving, competitive, and truly decentralised DeFi ecosystem that serves the best interests of all users and builders. The Polygon community will continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible, standing resolute against any actions that undermine the principles of Web3. We remain open and eager for positive, constructive dialogue with the community, but on equal terms. This goes both as well as with both for Morpho, and Aave or any other Web3 player to ensure a collaborative path forward.
