@fiege_max @0xcarlisle @grok Very cool. Thanks.

@g_dip @0xcarlisle @grok It’s for HIP-3 (ie typically not crypto) and is presented as such because a given deployer opts into offering the promotional rate or not.

I've been making this point for a while. Until perps exchanges are competitive on fees, they are a non-starter. And they are very, very far from being competitive on fees.

For crypto or just commodities? I feel like I've definitely paid higher for crypto pairs. Since you're probably in the know: why is this presented as a promotion? Why not just make the fees on par with tradfi alternatives and grow market share? Also is there a case study on market depth/spread vs CME for the WTI contract?

@g_dip @0xcarlisle @grok This has been the case since November

@0xcarlisle @grok Good catch, looks like they lowered the fees to incentivize trading. If they make these permanent I would happily start to shift activity onchain.

@g_dip @grok I tested this for the sake of science but who knows maybe im still doing something wrong. Market bought 1000, limit order sell 1000

@0xcarlisle @grok explain the fee breakdown and order size in my original post

@g_dip Whats the order size?

✨Decentralization review update The accessibility centralization score of @ajnafi has been upgraded from Medium to Low Hence, Ajna V2 scores low centralization scores on all criteria, making it the first money market to reach Stage 2, the highest decentralization stage possible according to the framework. Thanks @brianmcmichael for the update!

Real alpha isn't loud.

We're partnering with @M0 to bring enterprise-grade stablecoin rails to USDat. Shared infrastructure with M0 ensures digital credit goes global with Saturn.

.@Exodus has launched XO Cash ($XO), a USD-backed stablecoin built on M0’s stablecoin platform and issued by @MoonPay.

The Ajna ARK Vault! 🏺 We’re standardizing how users allocate liquidity to Ajna pools with our new ERC-4626 tokenized vault repository. This release simplifies integration for the entire ecosystem. Dive into the code: [github.com/ajna-finance/4…](github.com/ajna-finance/4…)

Imagine if every gas station used a different pump? Cars would be useless. Standards fix that. Stablecoins aren't fragmented by nature, they're fragmented by missing interoperability. That's what M0 is building. Better interop.

Automating the Ajna ARK Vault! 🤖 We’re excited to release the Ajna Vault Keeper repo—the dedicated off-chain agent that maintains the efficiency and liquidity of our new ERC-4626 vaults. 🏺⚡️(1/10) Check it out: [github.com/ajna-finance/4…](github.com/ajna-finance/4…)

Developers can now deploy PYUSD-backed stablecoin solutions in a matter of days. Built on a powerful foundation, designed to help you scale with confidence and speed.

Introducing PYUSDx. A new offering from M0, @MoonPay and @PayPal that lets teams launch custom stablecoins backed by PayPal USD.

Partner by partner, the M0 protocol is progressing towards being a requirement for brands to future proof them against the growing fragmentation & interoperability problems of a multi-stablecoin world

Introducing RainUSD. Our own dollar, built on @m0's digital money operating system, also powering MetaMask USD and USDai. Our AI agents bet for you -> Wins settle in RainUSD -> Rewards compound on top automatically. This is what autonomous banking looks like. RainUSD also powers the NEO card so you can spend profits while still earning on your balance. Neobanks hold your money. We put it to work. Coming soon.

@mhluongo @Sir_Damilare Funny enough I became acquainted with Charlie's work from the Keep whitepaper. Where I believe you were citing his high school science project.

@Sir_Damilare Dude is an extraordinary outlier anywhere in the world

General Partner at one of the world's largest blockchain VC firms at 27-years. How can Africans get this sort of opportunities, man? These are the thoughts that run through my mind.

What you see is what you get..when it comes to risk. DeFi's risk appetite is shifting accelerated by 10/10, stream finance and the increase of institutional assets coming onchain. Risk rating services like Credora and Particula have emerged but here’s the limitation: 
Backwards -looking data can’t tell you whether a tokenized asset is actually backed right now. For money-market products, private credit or any tokenized fund, the core question isn’t “what did past behavior imply?” It’s: Do the underlying reserves exist today, in the amounts and composition they claim? Liquidity, op-sec, and compliance risks can be evaluated by shrewd risk curator teams (hello @SteakhouseFi ). What they can’t as easily confirm is real time reserve existence and valuation. That requires more than ratings or issuer reporting. It requires: direct, neutral verification of asset-level holdings. This is the gap @ChronicleLabs Proof of Asset (POA) fills..real-time NAV, real-time reserve verification, and direct connections to the source of truth where the assets are held. Risk ratings can complement this.
But without verifiable proof of backing, they can’t offer complete risk guarantees for tokenized assets. DeFi’s “growing up” moment is when both layers exist and when there are more than 1 ratings agencies. evaluation of risk + verification of reality.
