I just stumbled across my origin story of how I started working on @DuneAnalytics and I think a lot of you degens can follow in my footsteps... A thread on starting to work in DeFi and on @DuneAnalytics

had a great convo with @donnoh_eth, Sheriff of the L2s about the future of L2s and the risks of bridges and interop. Super interesting learnings from someone that has been in the engine room for the layer2 ecosystem for the last couple years. Thanks for coming on @donnoh_eth

so this is why my 5 minute rambles in which I repeat the same thing in 3 different ways work so well

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 Who is the leading crypto payment card? Today we’re joined by @datadashboards, Co-Founder at Paymentscan. In this episode we’re discussing: - @Dune as the new frontend for data - Onchain vs API data confusion - @Polymarket vs @Kalshi data transparency - Notional volume vs real volume - Open interest spikes explained - Sports dominance in prediction markets - Data plumbing vs product narratives - Crypto payment cards landscape - Privacy tradeoffs in onchain payments - Stablecoin usage across cards - Cashback incentives and token risk - Building Paymentscan.xyz And much more—enjoy!

all docs pages have become @mintlify. have never seen a team clean up an industry like that before. remarkable

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 Demystifying Prediction Markets Beyond Volume Charts In today’s episode, we're unpacking what’s really driving prediction markets and how to think about them as information and distribution systems, not just gambling venues. We discuss: - @Polymarket vs @Kalshi: onchain vs offchain tradeoffs - Distribution advantages and partnerships - Liquidity, market making, and arbitrage dynamics - Why volume alone is misleading - Sports betting vs long-duration markets - Fees, incentives, and wash trading concerns - U.S. regulation and launch implications - Prediction markets as news and truth-discovery tools - The long arc from @AugurProject to today - And much more—enjoy! — Check it out now, here or via the link: Youtube: bit.ly/45RoK5j Spotify: bit.ly/4t9IqLI Apple: bit.ly/4acJdTt  —  Timestamps:  (00:00) Introduction  (01:50) Prediction markets return  (05:16) Offchain vs onchain  (09:37) Kalshi distribution edge  (13:23) US legality questions  (17:50) Market timing mechanics  (22:19) Market creation debates  (30:19) API delays and arbitrage  (32:55) Liquidity and market makers  (34:27) User growth questions  (36:00) Prediction markets as news  (39:11) From Augur to now  (40:07) Outro

🚨NEW EPISODE OUT NOW: Did @ethereum really solve the trilemma?🚨 In today’s episode, we discuss @VitalikButerin's recent comments on zero-knowledge technology and the scalability trilemma. The three of us unpack what’s actually changed since 2017, how advances like data availability sampling and zkEVMs reshape Ethereum’s execution and verification model, and whether these developments meaningfully alter the decentralization–security–scalability trade-offs. We discuss: - Ethereum’s original scalability trilemma - Why the trilemma existed in 2017 - Ethereum vs Solana trade-offs - Decentralization vs throughput - What data availability sampling really does - BLOBs, L2s, and scaling @ethereum - zkEVMs and execution offloading - Prover markets and new supply chains - Does ZK “solve” the trilemma? - Trust, security, and financial infrastructure - @celestia, EigenDA, and DA competition - Where blockspace actually matters - Crypto data jobs and hiring trends And much more—enjoy! — Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (02:47) Trilemma explained (05:23) Ethereum vs Solana (07:28) ZK tech overview (09:29) Data availability (10:48) zkEVM execution (12:54) Solving trilemma?

If I wasn't already working in the product team of @Dune , I'd join @arno39's GTM team in a heartbeat. Dune is sitting at the intersection of everything happening in Web3, if you want to contribute to something that matters, helps us make crypto data accessible. dune.com/careers

@marcov_91 @Dune that seems odd, did I misunderstand and you need the price of the LP-token?

@0xBoxer @Dune @0xBoxer actually i dont see any coverage of the univ2 pools in prices. day for the pairs included here?

Added a first price coverage for UniswapV2 Pair tokens based on the Uniswap TVL dataset on @Dune. This should cover the biggest pairs, but coverage for all tokenpairs will be hard. 🔗dune.com/Marcov/uniswap…

@marcov_91 @Dune prices.day should have pretty extensive coverage, but will only work on pairs that are/were actively traded

@Dune Unless someone points me to a UniswapV2 Token pair price table 👀

Our team has quietly been building the best solana datasets, used by many builders, hedgefunds and financial institutions. We have: - the best dex.trades dataset - the most complete+accurate token transfer model - all gas fee calculations in a convenient format - thousands of IDL-decoded tables that offer unparalleled access to building solana datasets Keen to chat how our data can solve your problems! DM me to coordinate meeting

Meet the onchain data legends @hildobby and @0xBoxer at #DuneCon2025 today

All in with the @Dune team at the @Uniswap Cup ⚽️

@0xCheeezzyyyy @Lombard_Finance this is chart art, well done

On Distributive Cementing Leverage: The recent acquisition of $BTC.b by @Lombard_Finance marks a defining moment → not just as a dominance takeover, but as a signal of structural maturity for BTC-Fi. Why is this significant? $BTC.b has long been the canonical BTC asset within the @avax ecosystem w/ $580M TVL & more importantly, deep integrations across blue-chip protocols like @aave @GMX_IO @BenqiFinance etc. With an exceptionally high DeFi utilisation rate of 76.2%, this asset complements $LBTC's 73.6% utility across other ecosystem. Rather than deploying a new $LBTC standard + competing for dominance, Lombard executed the most efficient path to consolidation via acquiring $BTC.b outright. This move instantly transfers BTC-Fi dominance under the Lombard umbrella, merging distribution power with established market credibility. And leveraging on this takeover, Lombard is now set to expand $BTC.b beyond its native Avax ecosystem with embedding upgrades: 1️⃣ Security Reinforcement: Migration to a multi-layered validation consortium of institutional participants, strengthening decentralised assurance and operational resilience. 2️⃣ Multi-Chain Expansion: $BTC.b will gain native presence across mainnet, @katana @megaeth & @solana, positioning it as the de facto BTC-Fi standard with composable utility across ecosystems. 3️⃣ Accessibility Upgrade: Permissionless direct minting from native BTC via Lombard (alongside $LBTC) enabling seamless access + higher capital velocity. ----------- On Broader Implications: This consolidation expands Lombard’s footprint across multiple ecosystems where it already commands significant traction: 🔸MegaETH: Exclusive BTC-Fi issuer and primary liquidity rail. 🔸Solana: Surpassing $WBTC performance with $85.2M TVL on the biggest SVM ecosystem 🔸Katana: Matching $WBTC parity in pre-mainnet deposits. 🔸@SuiNetwork: Largest BTC-Fi asset with $113.2M TVL, accounting for 8.75% on @suilendprotocol (larger than $WBTC's 7.25%) 🔸@StoryProtocol: Integration of $LBTC as a payments and royalties medium within the IP economy. This move pretty much further cements first phase of Lombard’s Bitcoin Capital Markets vision that seeks to unify liquidity, interoperability & institutional credibility under a single BTC-Fi standard. Multi-ecosystem dominance here is key to establishing a one Bitcoin economy as it only make sense for a dominant money backbone infra to power BTC-Fi to leverage on existing DeFi inter-forces + cross-ecosystem dynamics. This move further cements the first phase of Lombard’s Bitcoin Capital Markets vision: one that seeks to unify liquidity, interoperability & institutional credibility under a single BTC-Fi standard. Multi-ecosystem dominance is the cornerstone of building a one-Bitcoin economy, where a unified monetary backbone powers seamless liquidity + utility across chains. It’s simply just the logical evolution for BTC-Fi: leveraging the existing depth of DeFi infrastructures + cross-ecosystem interoperability to max out on productivity and inter-network inclusion. This is the foundation for a new, cross-chain capital layer imo.
