Thanks to @0xBreadguy  for the opportunity to chat about @megaeth, an upcoming Ethereum L2 that is one of the first to have a parallel sequencer and lighting fast finality. I think MegaETH's speed will be a game changer in the ETH L2 space as it will bring superior user experience wether you're a trader, gamer or developer looking to create an entirely new dapp without the bounds of the current data speeds that limit current applications.

@DeFi_Dad @materkel @edge_pod @Nomaticcap You and @Nomaticcap are the real deal! Great work rain or shine!

Over my 10 years in crypto, it has been difficult at times to double-down on the unsexy work that is researching and covering new DeFi on The @Edge_Pod. But during the last crypto bear cycle (2022-2023), that work paid off greatly and led @Nomaticcap and me to cover some of the most successful names today in DeFi. Below are just a handful of teams where we saw enormous opportunity early on, in what they were building, long before it was considered mainstream DeFi. + @ethena at $40M TVL (now $5.5B) + @ether_fi at $20M TVL (now $4.8B) + @0xfluid at pre-launch (now $4B) + @pendle_fi at $100M TVL (now $1.6B) + @Kinetiq_xyz at pre-launch (now $1.13B) + @VelodromeFi in July 2023, before @AerodromeFi Since DeFi Summer, I've been told over and over, DeFi has reached a ceiling, and we ought to chase other narratives, trends, especially daily price talks: - "NFTs, not DeFi" - "Web3 gaming, not DeFi" - "Memecoins, not DeFi" - "Web3 social, not DeFi" - "AI, not DeFi" It's becoming clearer every day, DeFi is the most meaningful long term value-add for this industry. And DeFi is still in its infancy compared to where we're headed. Stablecoins alone are destined to grow to tens of trillions onchain, and that ignores all other promising DeFi primitives that will only complement and amplify stablecoin adoption. Plus we have RWAs coming onchain rapidly, ready to soon eclipse the trading volume of crypto-native assets with stocks and commodities. This is why I just dgaf about covering the day to day PnD of small cap crypto that dominates the airwaves for crypto Youtubers/podcasters. It seems it's what the larger majority of viewers want according to my experience with the algorithms: tell us where the price is going and what to buy next. Now, maybe it's not obvious to you, but you won't get rich watching amateur investors with a ring light discuss why their undisclosed bags are going to moon. In fact, it takes hard, boring work to learn about what's new, what's misunderstood, what's promising, and what's not priced in yet. That's why we often (and @Nomaticcap can swear by this) invite guests to The @Edge_Pod mainly because they are building important (some might even call boring) primitives that we believe will lead to long term growth and upside in DeFi. All this to say, we specifically launched 2 new sub-series on The @Edge_Pod this year. 1⃣ DeFi Frontier is a dedicated series for covering new DeFi protocols, based on our research as onchain investors and power-users looking for new ideas and strategies to stay invested onchain, growing our portfolios. I would like to think during last bear market, we should have branded these episodes above (ie Ethena, etherfi, Pendle, Fluid) under our current DeFi Frontier series. Watch the DeFi Frontier Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=… 2⃣ Revenue Meta spotlights more mature DeFi protocols, with established customers and PMF, that actually generate cashflows and return value to tokenholders. Our goal is to do due diligence on whether or not these tokens backing major DeFi teams will accrue value. Teams like: @ether_fi, @maplefinance, @sparkdotfi, @pendle_fi and next up: @JupiterExchange. Watch the Revenue Meta Playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=… So if you are seeking to double-down on DeFi like us, if you're here to actually live out the bankless ethos vs watch your favorite KoLs talk about their bags on air, we invite you to join us on The @Edge_Pod and The Edge Newsletter. We're optimizing for growing your knowledge, not just our clicks and views. Also, our content is FREE, thanks to the generous support of The Edge Podcast sponsors, all of which happen to be real DeFi builders: @kpk_io @noon_capital @Main_St_Finance @alturax @apyx_fi @Mantle_Official @katana @GearboxProtocol @puffer_unifi All of this was written by me--no AI. I still believe it's important to own my own words and the meaning behind them.

@blickygotstiff @base @peerxyz I use Grok to check the data points listed by the consumer apps. Otherwise, if you get a soft ban for transferring to much at a time, wait 48h before trying again. Algos reset.

@AllThingsETH @base @peerxyz Would love some data points if any

Making crazy yield off-ramping USDC on @base via @peerxyz 🤫

@mxmnci @peerxyz as long as you have Venmo, CashApp, Wise, or PayPal in the US. (Other currencies and consumer apps like Revolut available) Buy USDC on Base with ZK proofs so transactions are private as well. Best rates, Near instant settlement. Peer to Peer anon USD to USDC 💪

who is working on the best white labeled / headless onboarding experience in crypto? apple pay -> crypto, no BS in between

@amzbaia29 @base @peerxyz You need to have a Venmo, CashApp, PayPal, Wise, or Revolut account which all require KYC, but PEER uses ZK proofs which keeps your wallet from being linked with your transactions off chain.

@AllThingsETH @base @peerxyz Is there any kind of KYC?

@KryptoKortise @base @peerxyz @TopazDex Ooh! Need to look into farming it!

@AllThingsETH @base @peerxyz Hey Aaron, have you seen new dex on BNB chain @TopazDex 10 million TVL in first week from launch

@ec265 I eat frozen berries every morning with greek yogurt, protein powder and creatine. However, the best berries come from backyard gardens. Can't believe we filled that entire basket full of strawberries! 2 4x8ft raised beds. We'll probably fill another basket later this week!

@AllThingsETH I am a berry maxi x.com/ec265/status/2…

Non-crypto post: Strawberries are in season!

@blickygotstiff @base @peerxyz The key is patience and understanding transfer limits.

@AllThingsETH @base @peerxyz bro we need the video with your tips! specifically avoiding account bans

USD > USDC onramp @RobinhoodApp Debit Card Transfers Fee: Free Time: Instant - Limit $1000 (I'm told limits grow with use) ACH Fee: Free Time: 3-4 days with $1000 instant if deposit is $1000+ Notes USDC Transfer to Base is Free + network fee ($.0012) No Limits on Crypto Transfers Did not work with CashApp Debit Card. Was able to connect my Venmo Debit Card. Will try adding PayPal Debit as well. Round Tripping from USD to USDC and back with @peerxyz plus PayPal, Venmo and CashApp is a great yield source, but not exactly passive.

@afelipexyz As long as they are competitive, why limit?

At what point do we admit we have enough neobanks?

@RedShouldHawk @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay @peerxyz @spritzfinance My withdrawal was done in under 1m to my base wallet.

@AllThingsETH @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay @peerxyz @spritzfinance etherfi seems decent for onramp, .2% ach, but I don't like that they auto stake your usdc which can delay withdrawals

USD to USDC on-ramping fees and wait times: ✔️ @coinbase - ACH/Wire Fee: Free Time: 0-6 days ✔️ @RampNetwork - Card Fee: 2.43% Time: Instant ✔️ @AlchemyPay - Card Fee: 4% Time: Instant ✔️ @peerxyz - PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, etc... Fee: 0% (depending on liquidity) Time: Instant

@heyneel @ether_fi @fluidkey Ooh! 👀

@AllThingsETH @ether_fi @fluidkey has $20k per month ACH/Wire on-ramp with 0% fee

Trying out @ether_fi's ACH to on-ramp USDC from Fiat. Sent $4000 from my bank on Friday. Received $3991.50 in Ether_FI vault this morning the 19th. Fees: .21% Time: 4 days (over the weekend) Not a bad alternative to Coinbase. ACH was easy to setup, but not as easy as linking a bank in CEX apps. This is one of the lower fees I've seen for on-ramping, but need to test during the week to see if 4 days is normal or just because of the weekend. On the look out for the fastest and cheapest on-ramps to round trip my @peerxyz liquidity. What are you all using?

@minipay @ether_fi Nice, who is your virtual account provider?

@AllThingsETH @ether_fi Try the Virtual USD account in MiniPay. Personalized ACH details to on-ramp to USDC anytime. Fees are much lower than this too

@RedShouldHawk @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay @peerxyz @spritzfinance Have liked Spritz, but @peerxyz is the best offramp as you can charge 1-4% depending on platform you offramp to. Any onramp recommends? Spritz is expensive for onramp.

@AllThingsETH @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay @peerxyz @spritzfinance .5% to offramp, good speed. Instant tier is more $$

@Shaggyz5150 @coinbase 😑

@AllThingsETH @coinbase Metamask card does not work 😕

@neverliquidated @peerxyz @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay 💯 if you can be patient! 🎯

@AllThingsETH @peerxyz @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay peer can be negative apr too if you don't mind waiting

@KeanZkp2p @peerxyz @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay Got to snipe it!

@AllThingsETH @peerxyz @coinbase @RampNetwork @AlchemyPay Fee sometimes negative if you time it right 👀
