Developed a framework to assess bridges with the extremely smart folks at @SocketDotTech.
Finally pressed publish on it.

It explores what bridges are optimising for today and where the opportunity lies in the future. Take a look.

ETC - WTF

Confused what @ethereum token standards are and why they matter? Interested in knowing which tokens are for what purpose? Want to understand the big picture?

This is the thread for you!

OK, devs did something, your days of wondering if this new sexy bridge is "trustless" or not are now gone.

Together with @bkiepuszewski from @l2beat we at @SocketDotTech have created a "Bridge Risk Framework"

Part 1 of our efforts, Part 2 soon 👀

Having survived two previous market resets (2001, 2009), people frequently ask me how this 2022 market reset is different and how it is the same. The obvious similarity is that valuation multiples have collapsed. We went from a "glass very full" mindset to one with many concerns.

THE CELSIUS BLOWUP, EXPLAINED.

Huge sectors of crypto are imploding, and crypto unicorns might be coming down with it.

Luna was first, but now $10b giant Celsius is facing insolvency and even bankruptcy.

Let's dive in:

[rob @robcrt]

ETH’s switch to PoS has brought about unforeseen problems regarding decentralization.

Distributed validator technology (DVTs) is what we’re looking for.

This tech will play a critical role in maintaining the longterm decentralization & integrity of Eth2.

Let’s dive in..

[Jon Charbonneau 🇺🇸 @jon_charb]

Anyone looking for a solution ala TheGraph for StarkNet?

Please do not kill yourselves. I know it feels like the world is ending and you're at rock bottom if you lost all your money from Luna/UST and maybe you even lost some of your friends or families money, investors, whatever. I don't know who has to see this but it will be okay.
