Uniswap fundamentally changed the crypto market by creating the infrastructure for DEXs. Thanks to Uniswap, anyone can spot trade any on-chain asset minutes after a token is launched and does not have to wait for a CEX to approve the asset first 🧵
1/ Imagine getting incentivized just for opening a long or short position on a fresh-launch memecoin 😱😱😱
That’s the core idea behind @Exponents_Fi — a new derivatives protocol on @berachain that introduces an incentives layer for speculation.
@Exponents_Fi is building a permissionless, oracle-free, liquidation-free perp system.
You can trade any asset — including tokens fresh off TGE — using leverage, without waiting for whitelisting, oracles, or listing approvals.
The entire system is designed for scale, flexibility, and capital efficiency.
Let’s break it down
@0xPaesan0 @Exponents_Fi 100% looking forward to exponents
list is not inclusive - exponents actually one of the first Berachain CT accounts I stumbled across late last year, beyond hyped for them to go live
Will be a day 1 user for sure
If the loud sale showed us one thing, it is all about incentivisation.
Incentivise the right people and you get the outcomes you desire.
That's why we are allowing companies to directly incentivise traders to long their token. You get paid to go long on an asset you already believe in.
Exponentio
Exponential morning
Monday goals:
- check in with dev team on product update
- place a trade on a decentralised perp dex (long bitcoin)
- say bm to all my fellow beras
- research exponential leverage so I am ready to trade on Exponents once live
I'd agree with you if there wasn't a degree of substance beneath these things and I suspect that's where we fundamentally disagree.
The concept of PoL is one that I believe in a lot, in saying that an L1s main export (block rewards) should be used to power its apps, not just incentivize stagnant capital to stake. And there's a host of novel applications building across DeFi and other sectors on Berachain, which I try to highlight frequently (@Exponents_Fi, @Hyperplex_xyz, @Ositofinance, are among some of the cooler net new DeFi things).
Berabaddies is a community initiative started by one of the first people in our discord 3+ years ago, and they've got a group of ~1k women in crypto and have helped get hundreds of them to start exploring an on-chain eco / Berachain, with 25% of their members working at leading crypto protocols. People love to hate on them with very little understanding of what they do / are.
The rest of this seems to be a soft attack on branding; if people ended up knowing us for our parties...sorry we threw good parties, or made jokes as eng timelines got delayed, which is one of the things I wish we could've improved.
I think you may have misunderstood the intention of my post. I think mindshare maxxing is somewhat inevitable unfortunately, but I think the space will mature around fundamentals.
My larger concern is converging so hard to lottery tickets that we lose a spirit of experimentation that could ultimately lead to more interesting outcomes.
whats the *funniest* thing you can build with PoL?
some ideas:
- BGT incentivized burning of a token (burn2earn). doubt it would get WLed tho
- BGT incentivized longing/shorting (wen @Exponents_Fi)
- incentives for people to submit yeeting videos (I am the oracle lol)
what else
