Trust needs accountability.
And Overlap makes validators accountable.
Check our docs to learn how we keep validators accountable.

UMA whales are currently trying to resolve the May 31st market as NO on the basis that the sale wasn't announced until today, June 1st
When the rules clearly state the market will be resolved based on information from MSTR & on-chain data:
- Saylor announced 32 BTC were sold in the period ending 4pm on May 31st
- Sale price of $77,135 indicates a sale no later than May 26th
- There are even onchain transfers of $30M BTC from Strategy to Coinbase Prime on May 29th

Among all the drama and discourse, our validators still believe @aave is one of the pillars of DeFi!
With an average overall score of 85.6% and a 94% security rating, Aave has secured the top position in our Explorer.
Our validators are tackling two problems at once!
Theyโre evaluating both $AZTEC and $UNI.
What scores will they give them?
Will they lock in their rewards?

This week our validators evaluated $Aster across security, community, distribution, and tokenomics, earning it a 71.6% score.
This qualifies $Aster for an Overlap certificate and makes it the third token to join our verified list.

Our first #InfoFI campaign just ended and it was a success!
83 high quality posts in 10 day!
No spam or AI slop!
Only high quality informative content.
Congrats to the winners @hasithasubha , @dinethrhino , @supun_lakm for helping us build a strong community!
Been following @Overlapfi for a bit now and it genuinely feels different from most Web3 projects. Fair, performance driven, and built for real accountability, not just for big wallets.

Just finished checking out zama looked at tech, governance, and economics. @Overlapfi validators gave $ZAMA an average score of 65.4%. Honestly, thatโs pretty solid.
Itโs now live on Overlapfi Explorer: https://t.co/4daowGzXo5
Also, we minted a soulbound NFT to the $ZAMA smart contract. Kinda cool to have a permanent on chain proof that this evaluation happened.
Makes me wonder, which project should they evaluate next?

Vitalik gets it and we get it. Overlap is an "app-chain". You vote & elect your validator in Ethereum while all the complex tasks happen in Arbitrum. The protocol is not segregated. It is in a constant sync between 2 chains.
App-chains are the future and we are already there.
Have been following reactions to what I said about L2s about 1.5 days ago.
One important thing that I believe is: "make yet another EVM chain and add an optimistic bridge to Ethereum with a 1 week delay" is to infra what forking Compound is to governance - something we've done far too much for far too long, because we got comfortable, and which has sapped our imagination and put us in a dead end.
If you make an EVM chain *without* an optimistic bridge to Ethereum (aka an alt L1), that's even worse. We don't friggin need more copypasta EVM chains, and we definitely don't need even more L1s. L1 is scaling and is going to bring lots of EVM blockspace - not infinite (AIs in particular will need both more blockspace and lower latency than even a greatly scaled L1 can offer), but lots.
Build something that brings something new to the table. I gave a few examples: privacy, app-specific efficiency, ultra-low latency, but my list is surely very incomplete.
A second important thing that I believe is: regarding "connection to Ethereum", vibes need to match substance.
I personally am a fan of many of the things that can be called "app chains". For example I think there's a large chance that the optimal architecture for prediction markets is something like: the market gets issued and resolved on L1, user accounts are on L1, but trading happens on some based rollup or other L2-like system, where the execution reads the L1 to verify signatures and markets. I like architectures where deep connection to L1 is first-class, and not an afterthought ("we're pretty much a separate chain, but oh yeah, we have a bridge, and ok fine let's put 1-2 devs to get it to stage 1 so the l2beat people will put a green checkmark on it so vitalik likes us").
The other extreme of "app chain", eg. the version where you convince some government registry, or social media platform, or gaming thing, to start putting merkle roots of its database, with STARKs that prove every update was authorized and signed and executed according to a pre-committed algorithm, onchain, is also reasonable - this is what makes the most sense to me in terms of "institutional L2s". It's obviously not Ethereum, not credibly neutral and not trustless - the operator can always just choose to say "we're switching to a different version with different rules now". But it would enable verifiable algorithmic transparency, a property that many of us would love to see in government, social media algorithms or wherever else, and it may enable economic activity that would otherwise not be possible.
I think if you're the first thing, it's valid and great to call yourself an Ethereum application - it can't survive without Ethereum even technologically, it maximizes interoperability and composability with other Ethereum applications.
If you're the second thing, then you're not Ethereum, but you are (i) bringing humanity more algorithmic transparency and trust minimization, so you're pursuing a similar vision, and (ii) depending on details probably synergistic with Ethereum. So you should just say those things directly!
Basically:
1. Do something that brings something actually new to the table.
2. Vibes should match substance - the degree of connection to Ethereum in your public image should reflect the degree of connection to Ethereum that your thing has in reality.
Our campaign carries on!
@hasithasubha with a strong lead,
@supun_lakm and @xedred01 in the top 3!
Who will fight for their spots?
Just a few more days left!
