I’ve spent the past 2 months redesigning and improving UX for DeFi protocols — from DEXs to staking and lending apps.
Each case study focuses on solving real user pain points + showing how small front-end changes can improve DeFi adoption.
Here’s my full public build journey
Bullish for:
RWA tokenization
- @OndoFinance: Already issuing tokenized Treasuries
- @centrifuge: The rails other protocols use to bring RWAs onchain
- @afiprotocol_xyz: Proof-of-Reserve infra for RWAs
Equity perp DEXs
- @tradexyz: $45B in equity perp vol last 30 days running on Hyperliquid
- @Ostium: purpose-built for RWA perps
- @edgeX_exchange: $1.4B 30d equity vol
- @Lighter_xyz: $1.2B 30d equity vol across 35 stock pairs
- @extendedapp:$718M 30d equity vol
Base lending (tokenized stocks as collateral)
- @Morpho: $2.86B on Base already, Tokenized stocks as collateral will create more vaults.
- @aave: likely adds Coinbase tokenized stocks as supported collateral
- @MoonwellDeFi: Already Base-native, positioned to move faster than Aave on new Base assets.
Base DEX liquidity
- @aerodromefi: Tokenized stock/USDC pairs will almost certainly bootstrap liquidity here first.
Possibly?
- @grovedotfinance:Sky ecosystem allocator, already deploying into tokenized RWAs
Stocks are the largest asset class in the world and Coinbase just validated the entire thesis.
The first real, 1:1 backed tokenized stocks are coming.
→ Own actual tokenized shares of U.S. companies
→ Trade, hold, and redeem - all onchain
→ Automatically receive dividends
No derivatives, no IOUs.
Welcome to the future of stocks.
Coinbase is about to enter the tokenized equity game
@coinbase is launching tokenized U.S. stocks backed 1:1 by actual shares, with automatic on-chain dividend distribution. The exchange says it's real equity, not derivatives or IOUs.

Forget long talk, the true test of an ultra-rich man is the net worth of his lowest employee. King Solomon's boys rejected silver because their level of wealth in the palace was different. Elon Musk has shown that again
FIFA world cup is starting today ⚽
If you have positions on @Polymarket and @Outcomexyz stop refreshing.
Otomato alerts you when your market resolves, your order fills, or odds move significantly.
Set it for free. Watch the game.
Buying SpaceX or Dangote is akin to purchasing Messi for $1 billion—that's with a "B."
Is $1 billion expensive? It depends.
If Messi generates $400 million a year in revenue for five years, then $1 billion is a bargain. That would yield a 100% return, or 20% per year.
However, if Messi only brings in $100 per year, that results in a 50% loss.
The price I pay for Messi is important, but the crucial factor is how much he contributes to my club by helping us win trophies.
In the case of SpaceX or Dangote Refinery, the key metric to consider is future earnings.
So your job is to ask 'where will revenues come from and how realistic are the assumptions'?
Everything works to my favor. Even in moments of uncertainty, I know the universe is guiding me toward the best possible outcomes.
Every delay, every detour, every challenge is a setup for something greater.
I attract blessings, opportunities and breakthroughs effortlessly.
What is meant for me will always find me and I trust that all things both seen and unseen are aligning perfectly for my success, peace and abundance.
I affirm.
Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.
Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.
During volatile times like these we get few questions about the position swap features on Aave interface and what you can do
1. Collateral swap
This allows users to swap their collateral to another collateral while borrowing without needing the capital to repay their loan. Very useful for reducing volatile collateral into stable collateral. Essentially allowing to trade with the collateral.
2. Repay with collateral
Enables users on Aave to repay their debt without capital by using their collateral. Useful when borrowed funds are spent or locked somewhere else.
3. Debt swap
Allows users to change their debt asset from one to another without needing the funds to repay the loan in between. Useful to shop around a better rate within Aave.
4. Withdraw and swap
Allows to withdraw another asset that is in the protocol. Less popular feature but useful when you need another asset than you deposited.
These are supported in Aave V3, coming for Aave V4 as well including moving funds between hubs.
JPMorgan CEO invited Elon Musk for a private talk with 3,500 of his top investors - everyone applauded at the end
- he bet his last money on SpaceX in 2008 - now if the company goes public he will become the world's first trillionaire
18-min workshop from an absolute genius sitting next to the greatest banker
he answered:
• How does he use AI in a $350B company?
• Why is SpaceX going public now?
• How will SpaceX make cargo to space cheaper than a transatlantic flight?

NEW: @Polymarket is now on @otomato_xyz
Imagine getting alerted the second your market resolves, knowing your exact P&L.
- Getting pinged when odds move 10+ points on your position.
- Seeing breaking news that impacts your bet before the price reacts.
- Knowing when your limit order fills.
That's Otomato
The concerns being raised about DeFi security are worth taking seriously. Security risk in onchain finance is real, and the industry has to do better.
Sky Protocol is the oldest DeFi protocol on @ethereum, founded over 11 years ago as MakerDAO.
• 8.5+ years operating stablecoins with zero losses to holders.
• 6+ years without a major security incident across any part of the protocol.
• Reaching a total supply of~$11B USDS.
That record reflects over a decade of putting security first in every governance decision, every market cycle, and every new agent onboarded.
Protecting users' funds is Sky Protocol's primary commitment. Above all else.
The work continues.
