@StaniKulechov are proceeds of defi united going to be used to help out other protocols affected? Compound, Euler and Morpho had exposure too. Albeit much less than 116k ETH

Past days has been extremely hardcore for our team and DeFi in general. DeFi went trough a substantial stress test and the consequences were felt. It definitely was the hardest couple of weeks that I experienced in my life and during the past decade building in the space. I am still writing this with couple of hours of sleep per day so bear with me. For me personally, the rsETH bridge incident was unfortunate as our team and community has put so much effort into securing the protocol and seeing the exploit happening outside of the protocol smart contracts, and affecting the markets is hard to watch even when the markets had (and still have) full backing like Mainnet Core. That being said, Aave has seen multiple market/credit cycles and always has been able to prove its resiliency. I have more confidence in DeFi today than ever, not because of the industry is stepping up and improving security practices, but because there is a true community behind DeFi that is willing to help and do whatever it takes to ensure our space has future. I want to say that during all this madness there were lot of people that were extremely supportive and proactive to mitigate any issues and contagion. At the first glance, from Aave's perspective we were positive that we would find a resolution and we had overall balance sheet, protocol revenue and external/public support to over come the issue from Aave's perspective but what we understood is that the issue was beyond Aave. It was about restoring the whole state of DeFi, avoid contagion and ensuring that the whole ecosystem overcome this incident not solely Aave. DeFi United started as an initiative from DeFi protocols that were affected but eventually became an industry wide movement to save DeFi and bring protocols together. I am grateful for all the contributions and support that everyone has been providing and can say that this wouldn't be possible without it. I'd hope that DeFi United becomes a permanent movement in some shape or form with the right form factor. DeFi United was executed at insane speed and other constraints but there could be a model that could continuously support the industry from the unexpected. I'd say during the past week lot of people stood up and I really don't have the space to mention everyone (you know who you are) but specifically I want to say that @MikeSilagadze deserves more respect from the space than anyone else atm, he went above and beyond and was willing to sacrifice a lot to solve what actually wasn't something cause by his efforts. Full respect. @LidoFinance team also deserve special credit, this team truly cares about DeFi and was extremely helpful along the way. They deserve full credit. @gdog97_ deserves credit as well, who helped to brainstorm various solutions and also stepping in with Ethena and helping on coordination. @arbitrum community for doing the right thing and rescuing the funds from the bridge contract that was a difficult but the right call. @Mantle_Official @Bybit_Official team for stepping up as well and showing strong support. The team has been supportive and truly cares about making the space safe. Last but not least lot of credit goes to @ethereumJoseph who really stepped in to help DeFi and the ecosystem. Joe cares about Ethereum, he cares about DeFi and understand the importance of DeFi for the future of Ethereum. We have truly good people within our community. These folks are true guardians of our space (among others on my long list) that really want DeFi to win. I feel very optimistic now about our space, it is true that events like these can be a setback but in reality it builds resiliency, which our space stands for, and over time that is hard to beat by legacy systems. The past week we had to operate in multiple different constraints from time, information, resources, governance and other. We had to move as fast as we could as time was against us. It was a large coordination effort that we haven't experienced so far. I'd like to give most of this credit to our team and community especially @Token_Logic and @LlamaRisk who went also above and beyond to find resolutions and coordinate. There has been some banter about right type of market structure for onchain lending between shared or isolated pools but the reality is that when capital moves, it moves at scale and market structures are less of a mitigating factor. These kinds of times require to find solutions fast and reestablish the trust in the markets and the technology, that's whats important. All this being said there are some great learnings from this indecent like from any incident and we as any other team involved will share a post mortem and steps to improve anti-fragility. I might be now less bullish on onchain lending as infrastructure and more leaning towards a model where the market structures need to be backed by strong balance sheets and risk transfers, however this is another discussion for the future as issues can stem outside of the protocol's control. Now as the markets on Ethereum mainnet Core are restoring, our team continues to execute the technical plan to restore rest all the markets. Thank you for everyone who has been supportive and we will keep you up to date as we progress. DeFi United.

@euler_mab are compound/euler/morpho getting a piece of the donations too? iirc aave wasnt the only one with potential bad debt, just the vast vast majority of it

The funny thing is that DeFi is anything but united behind the scenes. It’s ruthlessly anti-competitive.

@badcryptobitch A PhD in what field?

ngl, getting a PhD is increasingly becoming more and more appealing to me even though I've basically replicated a form of it without the NFT at the end What are the pros and cons of going back and getting a PhD in an AI world?

@tenbinlabs How many of these are allowed as collateral on Aave or Morpho?

What would looping FX carry trades look like on-chain with Tenbin's tokenized currency? The Strategy: 1. Collateralize the yield-bearing tokenized currency 2. Borrow USDC on Aave or Morpho 3. Acquire high-yielding currencies (like BRL, MXN) 4. Deposit as collateral 5. Loop We built a dashboard to find out this strategy's return across different currencies fxcarry.tenbinlabs.xyz

@jxmnop @karpathy id read this more generously. its clearly not disdain

@noampomsky less smoking, more sunscreen

It seems pretty undeniable that people in their 30s/40s today look way younger than people the same age did even 20 years ago. Why is this happening, is it just better cosmetic treatments? What are the second order social effects?

@blelbach @modal is there a free tier?

.@modal notebooks are fire for GPU development. 10x better than Google Colab on so many fronts.

@AgustinLebron3 Cuda

Anything missing? Between ~1996 and ~2022 nothing made the list? A 26 year period during which he wrote "Software is Eating the World" and was himself supposedly the greatest SaaS investor in said world? 🤯

@jbillinson Both could be much better

One of these looks much more authentic, and it’s not the one with the branded apron and overly shaky camera

Have a few new challenges in the theme of the AMM Challenge across a wider variety of domains and I'm looking for more beta testers If you have free time this weekend and want to try your hand at some fun new puzzles, shoot me a DM

@growing_daniel Not enough charisma, could never capitalize on his 60s of screen time in debates. Also could have used an adult on the team as well to filter some of his bad ideas

It is kinda amazing how early Andrew yang was

Is there a single chart in crypto that looks like this? Zero incentives, pure organic adoption

@psyop_reject @rocco_botte Dune 2

@rocco_botte Name one movie that has come out in the last 2 years thar is worth seeing in a theater. I will wait...

lol there is one specific singular problem that literally all my friends talk about that is THE major factor in avoiding theaters and these chains do nothing about it lmao

@cryptodavidw More useful if you're working on multiple branches (a few of your own, maybe you check out a branch of a teammate to do an deeper code review)

ok let's be honest, anybody uses this? is this really useful?
