Excited to share that we’ve received $1,000 from the @SharkPoolOrg University Program!

Grateful for the support toward student-led blockchain infrastructure projects. Looking forward to growing our Solana validator with SharkLabs.

✨ Ethereum Issuance Grants Results ✨
We are excited to announce results of the first two MVI Grants:

1. Staking data analysis, by A. Eloranta, S. Helminen (@antsae_, @0xSanteri).

The key findings of this empirical study are:
‣ Large staking pools have 12% higher mean returns compared to compared to single-validator stakers / solo stakers
‣ Ethereum Issuance can exacerbate the above dynamic
‣ Elasticity analysis shows strong correlation between solo stakers' deposits and relative staking yield compared to staking services
‣ Positive events result in higher inflows to large staking pools, compared to small ones

2. Discovery & profiling staking actors, by members of FranklinDAO: V. Zhu, O. Korinek, A. Duckworth (@vivzhuu, @OtakarKorinek, @0xDuckworth).

13 interviews were conducted in this study, uncovering interesting information, preferences and opinions of various actors within the staking economy:
‣ Investors that stake ETH
‣ Solo stakers
‣ Centralized Exchanges
‣ Centralized Staking Providers
‣ Decentralized Staking Middleware pools
‣ DVT service providers
‣ Retail investors
‣ Institutions

The links to both papers are in the second tweet. Stay tuned for further updates!

🚀 Proposal from Maggie ( @mschwier17 ): 3 ETH investment in $AERO with a stop loss of $0.90🌐
With innovative mechanics and strong alignment to Base’s success, Aerodrome Finance is becoming a leader in DeFi on Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem. Let’s break it down 🧵👇

[FranklinDAO @franklin_dao]

6/ Risks ⚠️
• Inflationary Tokenomics: High emissions could pressure token value, though auto-max locks and re-investment mitigate this.
• Repeat of Curve Wars: VeCRV voters could allocate emissions to unproductive and low-volume pools.
