OK, WHO DID THIS???🤣🤣🤣

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

yes, asian and african rivers produce 95% of ocean plastic but nobody asks where the plastic comes from.

plastic recycling is a scam. always has been.
the industry knew since 1974 it “cant be justified economically”

they funded the recycling campaigns anyway because the alternative was banning plastic.

only 5-6% of US plastic actually gets recycled and europe isnt better.
the EU exports 1.1 million tonnes of plastic waste per year, 3 million kg leaving every single day.
31% goes to turkey, 16% to malaysia, 13% to indonesia, all labeled “recyclable”

most plastics cant even be recycled to begin with (thousands of types, different chemical properties). and for the few that can, the output is lower quality and more toxic than virgin plastic.
you literally degrade the material each cycle until its worthless.

so what happens to the other 95%?
western countries ship it to southeast asia and africa under the label “recycling exports” with the receiving countries promising to recycle it in their stead for a price, but those countries dont have facilities either. so they burn it or dump it in rivers.

every 20 minutes, a 10-tonne truckload of plastic enters the ocean in indonesia alone.
it may look like indonesians pollute more but that’s because we ship them our garbage and they have no infrastructure to handle it.

china used to absorb it all. when they banned imports in 2018, the west just redirected to countries with weaker regulations. malaysia, vietnam, philippines. the map below shows the result.

you sort your trash so you feel like youre helping, the plastic goes on a boat, gets burned in a village without emissions controls, poisons their air and water, flows into their rivers, enters the ocean, and in your food and water.
you feel good about the plastic you recycled and never think about it again but you end up eating it anyway.

then we ban straws and plastic bags and call it environmentalism

OEV Rewards for October are in 🧾

Total rewards have climbed to ~$363K, up from $295K, representing nearly $70K in value returned to dApps reclaiming their OEV this month.

November is also already off to a strong start 🔥

[Chris Littlewood @chrislittlewoo8]

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.

I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.

They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.

We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.

Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.

Criminals will work around it.

Honest citizens will pay the price.

It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One breach and your life is exposed.

Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.

Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.

If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

Our first OEV-Boosted @MorphoLabs Vault just passed $10M in deposits.
Together with @yearnfi, we recapture OEV and put it back where it belongs.

Expect more markets.
Expect more chains.
Expect high, sustainable yield.

The @OEVNetwork just passed DeFi’s biggest stress test—and the numbers don’t lie.

▲ $2.6M liquidated on @growcompound (Mantle) → $150K recaptured
▲ $370K liquidated on @YeiFinance (Sei) → $42K recaptured
▲ $190K liquidated on @lendlexyz (Mantle) → $16K recaptured

This is the first proven, scalable OEV solution.

The best time to upgrade your oracle was BEFORE a liquidation event.

The next best time, is NOW.

Lending protocols leak a TON of value during liquidation events.

But not @YeiFinance.

As the largest lending protocol on @SeiNetwork, Yei is turning volatility into revenue with @OEVNetwork—recapturing MEV that would otherwise be lost.

Here’s how they did it. 🧵👇

5/
Yesterday was a milestone and the most successful day of our OEV journey:

▲ $3,000,000+ in liquidations processed
▲ $200,000+ in OEV Rewards recaptured for our partners
▲ 90%+ of available OEV successfully recaptured

[Api3 @Api3DAO]

🔊 It's time to separate the signal from the noise.

In their comprehensive report on the State of OEV, @DelphiDigital takes a look at emerging solutions & gives a full analysis on how the @OEVNetwork stacks up.

TL;DR: We're bullish. 🔥

[André Ogle @andre_ogle]

After months of work from many members of @API3DAO, the @OEVNetwork is finally live! OEV helps lending protocols reclaim lost value by creating a market for efficient oracle updates, saving millions in lost revenue.

Proud to have played a small role in getting this to prod #API3

[Api3 @Api3DAO]

The solution to oracle extractable value is here! 🎉

🚀 @OEVNetwork is officially live and integrated with the API3 Oracle Stack.

Every lending protocol, on every API3 supported chain, now has a built-in solution to recapture protocol MEV.

It pays to upgrade your oracle. 🪙

[Api3 @Api3DAO]

We just blasted off to $1 BILLION TVS. 🎉

That's 10x in less than 100 days.

API3 is redefining the oracle landscape with our developer-first approach.

Our first-party oracle architecture is built for a rollup-centric future, with swift horizontal expansion to new chains fueling the vertical growth of new ecosystems.

The API3 oracle stack is designed around the developer's needs:

▲ Simple tools
▲ Permissionless access
▲ No code changes
▲ No extra infrastructure

The API3 Market is quickly becoming the go-to destination for onchain data.

Developers can simply read any data feed and start building.

Here's to building the future of onchain finance, together. 🥂

Are you aware how much MEV is being leaked by lending protocols❓

We've built a tool just for that.

Introducing the OEV Watchtower.

Assess your favorite protocol's efficiency & figure out how much value could be recaptured by the upcoming @OEVNetwork.

We are excited to share that @OrbitLending is using dAPIs to power their decentralized liquidity protocol on @Blast_L2 💥

Orbit leverages Blast’s native yield to enhance lending and borrowing, generating more competitive yields for Blast assets. dAPIs will be fully integrated with @OEVNetwork to recapture protocol MEV for optimal protocol performance.

Orbit Lending is revolutionizing onchain finance on Blast:

⚙️ Fully code-driven lending, no middlemen
🔁 Automated rate adjustments
📈 Higher utilization = higher interest rates
🌊 Ensures steady liquidity for a safer experience

You don’t need to be an astronaut to navigate DeFi. Orbit Lending makes lending & borrowing simple and accessible for everyone on Blast.

TVS is considered the holy grail of metrics for oracle projects. This is a thread I've been wanting to make for a while about TVS and oracles 🧵⤵️
