Building index-tracking assets on top of options instead of debt

https://t.co/gFNEvCbHct

What if the use options as the base of defi, instead of CDPs and liquidations? So instead of extreme price movements creating a sharp and global "you get liquidated" effect, instead your exposure to the index diverges quadratically from your preferred exposure in a smoother way?

A key benefit is getting rid of the need for instant oracles, and instead making everything work on top of "slow oracles" (ie. the type that prediction markets use)

This design has a significant downside - the need to do regular rebalancing - and an open question of whether and how this rebalancing can be made slippage-resistant enough. But it's worth considering and trying IMO. I would feel much safer holding algostables inside something like this, than in something that depends on an oracle that has to give real-time answers (and therefore could be tricked into giving wrong real-time answers with no time for human recourse).

New writeup: Resilient Disbursement Rails.

Aid organizations' beneficiary databases are an operational security risk. IPTF's PoC shows how to run a disbursement program where no participant, at any step, holds a complete list of recipients.

One of the biggest usecase in crypto - payments - is surprisingly challenging, and usually involves many small issues that compound into a poor UX.

This is especially annoying since crypto is supposed to make payments EASIER.

Hence Omnichain VA. The first erc8211 application!

We worked closely with @ethereumfndn , @barnabemonnot and the wider community to make sure we deliver for the benefit of the whole ecosystem.

Dear every website: instead of blocking bots, please just request $0.01 x402 payment

Thanks

@codephobic @usd8_fi l quite like the idea of baking insurance in at the currency layer

[ori shimony @orishim]

@boogaav @binji_x @pblvrt this is a great idea. we'll let you know when we add this!

[ori shimony @orishim]

@kennyistyping @binji_x would love to see that. feel free to create a PR :)

@no__________end which early ethereum ideas that were too early are you most interested in seeing revived?

@AnInternetter @SimpleFi_tech @HooCrypto great demo 👏

While the debate rages on whether crypto solves real problems or stays stuck in speculation, BlockchainGov’s latest report offers concrete evidence of a better path.

Today we release our latest report(!)
Drawing from the Argentina Onchain Residency (Nov 1–14, 2025, San Martín de los Andes at @JoinEdgeCity), the report details a participatory methodology that:

* Begins with concrete coordination failures identified by local public, private, and civil society actors.
* Co-designs with non-crypto stakeholders to ensure solutions are practical and accessible.
* Evaluates blockchain not as a silver bullet, but for real fit in context.

Outcome: Adoption-ready prototypes that embed decentralization into organizations and institutions - directly addressing the UX, incentive, and accessibility barriers that keep crypto from wider use.

This work builds on Argentina’s existing crypto momentum and offers a replicable framework for governments, cities, and organizations worldwide.
