@kmets_ @cyrille_briere @ConvexFinance *I’ve noticed cyrille trying and failing

[arqus @arqus]

@kmets_ @cyrille_briere @ConvexFinance I think I’ve noticed trying (and failing?) to join the convex server several times in the last few weeks. I will dm you in discord

If you were one of the THREE people who deposited in the original Unofficial RSUP staker, cooldowns are available this week. Newly earned RSUP that were not synced before this epoch will have to wait.

To make up for this, you have received 1500 $RSUP directly into your wallets.

[Tommy Genesis @0xTommyGenesis]

If you're interested in staking Resupply's $RSUP, boost your earnings with compounding, savings, or a mix of both. Retain your governance power through pass-through voting. No protocol fees, only a small MEV call fee to ensure timely harvests. 🧑‍🌾

Thanks to @arqus for the video!

BUILT ON CONVEX

Convex became infrastructure and these protocols use it as a core building block — aggregating its yields, integrating its pools, or building products that depend on Convex being there.

[Convex Finance @ConvexFinance]

TWO SYSTEMS, ONE TOKEN

Convex runs two engines that look similar but do completely different things:

$cvxCRV → earns boosted yield (passive & automatic)
vlCVX → steers $CRV emissions across Curve pools (active via biweekly votes)

One pays you to sit still. The other pays you to participate by voting.

Understanding this difference is understanding why Convex sits at the center of Curve. Let's break it all down.

[banteg @banteg]

argot was spun out of ethereum foundation with a mandate to maintain ethereum's core programming languages and developer tooling.

then it immediately begins to launder research as if it was core infrastructure maintenance.

if you read their blog, they spend a lot of resources on fe, a language that has been "emerging" for over 5 years. they have long plans for fe, while the language itself has seen zero adoption and zero production use. their long term goal is "non-trivial contracts in production-like setting".

meanwhile vyper is actual production infrastructure. it secures real protocols, with real users and tvl, and real audit surface. curve, lido, yearn, frax, velodrome all use vyper.

yet vyper lives grant-to-grant, while argot started with a $16.6m check, about as much as ethereum started with.

argot doesn't disclose how much time and energy it spends on the fe fantasy versus solidity, sourcify, hevm, or other genuinely core tooling. but clearly this pet project abuses and stretches the mandate. even though it's a programming language, by no serious measure it's "core". it should spin out and try to survive and prove demand independently.

production compiler maintenance should get baseline funding before speculative language incubation gets considererd.

vyper is in good shape today despite the ecosystem, not because of it. and it still does not sit right with me that resources keep getting misallocated away from the compiler people actually use.

ethereum keeps saying "public goods", then funds the toy compiler like infrastructure and makes the production compiler pass the hat. that is not stewardship.

3 protocols have now earned a perfect 5-green chart on https://t.co/LyCTx07M40:

@Uniswap's uniswap-v4
@CurveFinance's curve-dex
@liquity's liquity-v1

Honorable mention to @tethergold: the first one to earn a perfect 5-red chart (I'm sure there will be many more to come🙃)
