NERI is here!

Tomorrow Nerite will start a new Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool with our partner, @balancer, for 72 hours.

This is the last chance to earn Shell points too.

The decentralization review of @aave by @defiscan_info went live last week and was discussed in @DeFi_FR

@marczeller chipped in 4 times, never tackling the report, but instead attacked its publishers: a classic deflection attempt

Why? Let me dive into what he wants to bury

Aave's review is simply the biggest one ever produced for @DeFiscan_info. Because of Aave's codebase's size and relative complexity, we are talking about months of effort. Every finding was verified several times, and experts on the codebase, like @The3D_, were consulted before publication.

The decentralization analysis concluded that Aave is a Stage 0 protocol, just like Compound, and for similar reasons.

The main lack here lies in three dimensions of the analysis: autonomy, exit window, and upgradability.

The autonomy dimension assesses the protocol's critical dependencies, which could seriously affect its users if they were to fail. For a lending product like Aave, the star culprit is the oracle(s) used—ChainLink.

"The protocol does currently have limited validation on asset prices provided by Chainlink. These checks include upper caps for stablecoins and LSTs and a sanity check that the price is above 0 for all assets. If the reported price by the price feed was below 0, a fallback oracle would be queried.

Aave has currently no fallback oracle price feeds instantiated. As a consequence if the price was equal to or below 0, user actions on the Pool contract that require a price would revert."

==> Aave uses ChainLink data with barely any validation and no fallback mechanism ===> It inherits all Chainlink-related risk (an upgradeable system without decentralized ownership over those permissions.)

For the two other dimensions, I'll keep it simple and let you read the report, because today, I'd like to highlight @marczeller's manipulation tactics as well.

Aave gets a High Risk on the Upgradability and Exit Window dimensions because some emergency features are without a timelock (such as pausing markets), enabling potential manipulations, and several multisigs do not adhere to the security council criteria:

The report, of course, does not fail to highlight what is worthy of praise in Aave's current model, such as their redundant and fault-tolerant implementation of cross-chain governance with a.DI.

A precise list of what needs to be done to reach the next stage is also provided for each item at fault.

---

Now, let's take a minute to analyse @marczeller reactions to this report:

In order:

1. Marc: "The two people at the end of the room who still care about this kind of stuff are shocked"

↪ Plenty of actors care about contextualized information, including savvy degens, institutionals, etc.
A classical fallacy: you are not popular, and thus you are wrong.

2. Marc: "@bluechip_org gave A rating to LUSD and D to GHO, and still look at their market cap."

↪ @bluechip_org evaluates the economic model of stablecoins, not their potential for growth. This is a classic case of pretended confusion (Marc knows this) to discredit the report altogether without even discussing it.
Another classic: don't like something? Discredit it by misinterpreting its goals on purpose.

3. Marc: "BOLD was supposed to kill GHO? It was so superior as a concept"

↪ It is. GHO is a caveman stablecoin with no redemption, a manually managed interest rate, and uber-centralized peg maintenance. No matter how many millions Aave splurges on GHO, BOLD will eventually prevail. However, growth/market cap is not the topic here; we discussed decentralization.

Seeing Marc dance on the grave of BOLD's first iteration as the relaunch was announced was surprising, to say the least. I assumed he was pro builders and DeFi. The reality is that he is pro-Aave, and if he has to damage the DeFi ecosystem to grow Aave further, I am now convinced that he would do it without hesitation.

4. I mentioned that "Emilio from BGD double-checked the review", Marc attacked again on the fact that it is now Avara and not BGD.

↪ You're starting to see the pattern? Argue, discuss, and attack everything around so that the core (the review) is ignored, discredited, and most importantly, never addressed.

Marc has commented 4 times about the @defiscan_info review in @DeFi_FR, but still hasn't said anything about the content itself, apart from calling it a "brain fart". It's a usual tactic of Marc that when faced with a topic he dislikes, he will tackle everything around it and resort to personal attacks on the poster and attacks on the reputation of his projects.

It was exactly the same when @bluechip_org published the $GHO review, again with the exact same twisted argument that the Bluechip rating (which assesses economic safety) is not correlated with the stablecoin market cap.

I'm simply at a loss that such behavior can be tolerated and even supported in our industry, and I wanted to share it with you. Those are classic bully tactics seen in many profiles in our space, and the only way to eventually improve is to call them out.

I have the luxury of not caring a second about my "employability", allowing me to stand my ground and my values even if that could be deemed risky for my career. Indeed,

I realize this is an exception rather than the norm, and that's one reason I wrote this post and led the charge today. Indeed, Marc is an investor in many projects, which could explain why many are shy to denounce his abusive behaviour.

Marc and I obviously have a history, as I am one of the few people in the space willing to tell him when he's out of place, which happens often. Since I started doing this, he's relentlessly attacking my character on random occasions, as if he were spreading poison as an insurance policy to protect his past, present, and future abuses.

I remain baffled by his behavior, which often exhibits adolescent characteristics. During one of our last altercations, he literally flexed that "he has a girlfriend, and thus is not available to answer, unlike me, the ugly, lonely nerd" (and as often with Marc, he assessed this without any knowledge of my situation).

This behavior is net damage for the whole DeFi space, as Marc is not a random person but someone with influence that many still look up to. It's up to us to hold our champions to the highest standards, so here I am, doing exactly that.

I spoke with @ChainLeftist about his generative on-chain film Crimson Echo, compressed and stored all on Ethereum, exploring how stories emerge through permanent acts of individual and collective conscience.

Episode below🔽

Be sure to be a part of the on-chain history being made to show that you did not support the ongoing genocide in Gaza. By taking part in the mint, you are supported ETH Evacuations and the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

@TokenBrice perahaps, in world without money it would be possible

[Luchamon @PlayLuchamon]

☕️gm Luchadores! As eagerly awaited by our most dedicated players, leveling is now available, with 444 piñatas to be won!

How does XP work?
All Luchadores start at level 1 with 0/250 experience points. XP is specific to each Luchador and exponentially more XP is required as you progress to the max level of 20.

How do you earn XP?
Luchadores earn XP from battles (up to 7 per week). Note: XP can only be earned through ranked matches, not duels (where you manually input the opponent's ID).

In ranked matches (you initiate the fight):
- Win: +100 XP
- Loss: +20 X

In idle mode (you are attacked in rank mode):
- Win: +25 XP
- Loss: +5 XP

What is XP used for?
Leveling reflects the dedication of each Luchador, and by extension, the player to the game. Our goal is to ensure that player rewards align with their commitment to the game (whether economic, competitive or through collecting...). Over time, these metrics will contribute to a unique score that increases your $LUCHA rewards for every match played in Lucha Fight Club.

Special Rewards
🏆The first players to reach certain milestones will share 444 piñatas

- Level 5: +1🪅 for the first 100 Luchadores
- Level 10: +2🪅 for the first 50 Luchadores
- Level 15: +4🪅 for the first 25 Luchadores
