Not here to sell or entertain, but to write clearly about the systems that will define the next economy.
read the article by @getoro_xyz about the problem of "AI garbage" and degradation of neural networks (model collapse) is such a solution possible? --quality of prompts is very important precise instructions and strict limitations reduce the probability of getting "safe" but useless content --long-term: signal quality transition from passive collection of internet spam to training on structured human experience p\s - large LLM models are trained exactly this way (passive collection of internet spam) instead of imitating texts AI should learn through reinforcement learning (RL), relying on how people actually solve problems, correct mistakes and choose compromises -and the project is working on this solution
bros, tell me, are there feelings after 11 years? do they exist, is it possible? so you write "hi" as a joke and then you start communicating very closely i'm a very closed person, but i opened up to her, do you think she opened up to me? actually, i found MY PERSON! i don't care what happens next! some simple thoughts @Anastasia_dgtl
ai @getoro_xyz and security of your data oro does one thing that big tech fundamentally can't do: tries to separate ai training from your data leaks the idea is this: your accounts and digital footprints remain "locked" in a protected environment the project claims it uses zktls and tee to pull data privately and process it so that what goes out is not the raw material, but the result: improved model, features, context not your emails, not your dms, not your personal details - they remain locked for the user this looks fair: you give access to training on your data, but don't give away the data itself as a commodity and if this approach scales, a new market appears: people become not "raw material" for ai, but suppliers of value on their own terms @1BY1_UA

Big week 👀
will there be a truce between Russia and Ukraine in 2025 this is the event on @opinionlabsxyz i want to talk about today it is honestly the most relevant question of this year the media blew up a huge balloon around trumps peace plan which supposedly had 28 points i believe there is some plan im more than sure this plan was seen only by a limited group of people and the media are definitely not part of that group im sure this plan is the basis for long negotiations about a wider peace agreement let’s call it a starting point for ending the conflict in 2025 there will be no truce in the way we understand a ceasefire no full stop of hostilities the EU and Ukraine have no real desire to freeze the conflict plus the massive corruption scandal only makes it worse if you look at it from the perspective of the president of Ukraine as someone who truly wants to end the war this decision could have been made back in 2022 what do we have now in 2025 - complete retreat along the entire front and no willingness to meet the conditions of Russias president or address the root causes of the conflict summary this all clearly points to the possible start of negotiations but not to the end of hostilities or any real truce
Cookie can become the catalyst that makes Superform truly attractive? In spring, there was a lot of buzz around @superformxyz , but the release dragged on and the hype faded. Now, for the team, this is essentially the last chance to build TVL, regain attention, and launch with a strong valuation when they feel the timing is right. The Almanak experience shows that Cookie users, especially those who back their words with capital, can create a wave far louder than simple yapping. Shall we check the results in a month?
looks like a decent start to the week but sometimes i really want to talk about web2 and web3 together i support almost all web3 ideas that are connected with introducing or fully replacing web2 functions right now all of this moves slower than we want but even small progress is still progress one of the projects that sets the pace in web3 is @useTria when you make swaps you do not need this endless switching between networks this is important for people who are just getting into the crypto world this feature may look simple but it is important later i will talk more about small but very important functions
edgex has one feature that most users do not even notice it is not a "perp-dex" but an attempt to build a new format of onchain exchange where the real value is not in trading but in control over the execution engine if you look deeper the documentation reveals something more important @edgeX_exchange is building a layer where the market itself becomes the product 1. edgex solves a problem that defi ignored for a long timea market without guarantees is not a market amm models look nice in a whitepaper until they meet three conditions • high volatility • high trade frequency • aggressive strategies amm breaks in every one of these cases edgex openly admits this the market must be predictable at the moment of execution not at the moment of transaction broadcast that is why the engine is taken outside ethereum but all consequences are committed through a zk proof this is not just a "fast l2" this is an attempt to build a market where speed and fairness do not contradict each other and if they succeed it will be one of the first times an onchain market gets close to cex quality 2. the most important part of edgex is not 200k orders per second but the fact that the state cannot be rewritten they talk a lot about throughput but the real value is different the state cannot be adjusted after the fact this is what killed ftx undermines trust in binance and makes almost any cex opaque edgex uses the starkex model where • any balance change • any liquidation • any pnl must pass proof verification it means the exchange stops being the authority on "who owns what" this is a fundamental shift institutions value this not retail 3. from the documentation it is clear that edgex is not built for perps onlythey want to become a settlement engine for other products in several places in the gitbook there is a very important detail the matching engine and the settlement layer of edgex will be usable by external applications this is not a marketing line it means edgex can become a liquidity and execution provider for other protocols and then they turn from "another dex" into • an infrastructure layer • a source of price quotes • an execution service • a settlement node basically an operating system for onchain trading and if this happens perp trading becomes not a product but a demo example 4.the main risk of edgex is the centralized sequencerbut this risk is honestly described most projects hide this edgex does not the sequencer defines the order of execution yes there is forced exit but full decentralization is still far away however the documentation shows they are designing an architecture where the sequencer • can move to an avs model (like eigenlayer) • can be split into different roles • can become verifiable through zk mechanisms so edgex can become the first perp exchange with a verifiable execution order if that happens it will be a historic milestone 5. the strongest part of the project is not the technology but the philosophy of the team when reading the docs it is clear the team thinks like this the market must work even if we turn off this is rare most defi projects think about • how to collect tvl • how to run a campaign • how to package tokenomics edgex thinks differently • what happens to the user during market stress • what happens if all trades execute in 10 ms but the oracle breaks • what happens if the operator goes down • how to withdraw funds without trusting the exchange • how to commit everything with proofs not “server words” this is the difference between an exchange built by traders and one built by marketers 6. opinion edgex is one of the few projects that • solves real cex problems (manipulation, opacity) • solves real dex problems (low performance, unstable liquidations) • builds an architecture that could become an industry standard • does not create hype for hype but writes documentation like engineers if they finish the settlement layer concept edgex can repeat the path of dydx but at a deeper level not as an exchange but as a foundation of an ecosystem this is a project that hurts itself by not making enough noise about what it is really building
most DEXs are still stuck in "slow DeFi", where a swap takes longer than your risk management edgeX goes in a different direction an orderbook that actually behaves like a CEX, latency in milliseconds, and the feeling that you’re trading not through a smart contract but through a real matching engine hyperliquid proved that speed decides everything in the onchain market @edgeX_exchange is simply bringing that idea closer to the ethereum ecosystem
i don’t trade often, but when i do - it’s conservatively heard a few things about $UNI lately, mainly about their token burn system, and it seems whales (and not only them) started buying in also, if uniswap activates the fee distribution mechanism, we could see a very nice price move so i’m considering a long position soon interface matters a lot to me when trading, that’s why i’ve been using @edgeX_exchange more often lately simple, convenient - easily top 3 exchange for me
o, here’s where things stand for today 11/07/2025 @almanak moving in the wrong direction on the leaderboard. I’ll be adding more funds soon, not much time left. current TVL: $112.4M, looks like a good moment to me @vooi_io competition is growing. I’m not in a relaxed phase, quite the opposite. I’m watching closely and tomorrow I’ll decide what to do next. probably going back to VOLUME @useTria starting tomorrow or the day after to test their tech and see how it works with real money. I like what they’ve built. time for practice
Brooklyn at Indiana - who wins? I’m using @Kalshi for this one. The Indiana Pacers rank among the top offensive teams of the 2024–25 season: their Offensive Rating is around 116.5 points per 100 possessions, placing them among the league’s best. The Brooklyn Nets, on the other hand, have shown weaker results: Offensive Rating ≈ 108.5 (28th place) and Defensive Rating ≈ 115.8 (20th place). Based on this, Indiana has a stronger offense and an overall edge in efficiency, while Brooklyn has serious gaps on both ends - offense and defense. My opinion: Indiana is logically the favorite. But that doesn’t mean the win will be easy or by a large margin - the data shows an advantage, not complete dominance.
most protocols talk about sustainability and then print more tokens classic @velvet_capital flips this logic half of the fees go to buybacks, the rest to vevelvet stakers no inflation, no emission nonsense every buyback and burn is traceable on chain. clean, transparent, even boring - in a good way. defi does not need fireworks it needs math that actually works
Gm CTTTTTTTTT! Decisions in DeFi are often made behind closed multisigs. @Velvet_Capital does it through a DAO. Every proposal goes on chain, everything is public. If you hold $VELVET or veVELVET you can vote on fees, new vaults, integrations, and rewards. No councils, no hidden edits - only transparent voting with real impact. The longer you lock your $VELVET the greater your voting power. It does not look flashy. But it is governance that works - simple, visible, verifiable. And @wallchain pays attention to this kind of clarity, which is why such projects appear on their platform. People follow systems that prove fairness, not those that only promise it.
