Bitcoin-backed loans are here. Borrow USDC against bitcoin, without selling it. Rolling out to US users (ex. NY) starting now. More collateral assets and regions to come. Powered by @MorphoLabs and built on @Base. The future of finance is onchain. Learn more: coinbase.com/blog/now-get-a…

I wanted to share a protocol I built for @EmpireDao last year. While our goals for the project did not pan out as we hoped, we build some really cool stuff!! The Proof-of-In-Real-Life protocol is now open source: github.com/Empire-DAO/poi… This protocol uses @arxresearch NFC tags that contain a cryptographic keypair to prove that a human being is interacting with a tag at a given local in real time. This is as powerful of an anti-sybil strategy as I've seen. The protocol itself does not have any bells and whistles but at a fundamental level it enables projects to securely engage with people in the physical world. There are near infinite use cases for this technology. A few obvious ones are as follows: - Scavenger hunts - Event check-ins - IRL token distribution There is a lot of noise on other chains surrounding the idea of IRL integrated protocols, so it is only right we show off our stuff on @Solana!! See it live in the linked tweet below. Our good friend @Austin_Federa proves on-chain that he is at the Solana office in NYC using the protocol. It was an absolutely pleasure to work on this protocol with @MikeFraietta and @GeorgeBonan0.
