The first static Website hosted & served on Cardano....
This is a successful proof of concept test I have carried out utilising IAGON decentralised storage. 👀
Just replicated my theory of Decentralised Static Website Hosting on top of IAGON decentralised storage infrastructure. 🔥
This will be the FIRST EVER website served from decentralised storage on Cardano to my knowledge (maybe the first across all blockchains I don't know) Of course this will open up further options and is just a proof of concept around possibilities. 👍🚀
What I did... I replicated and cloned the IAGON Website as a static website (had to tweak as didn't have source code for this & it uses the Next.js framework), I uploaded & hosted this up to the Iagon storage dashboard meaning this was now hosted on decentralised Infrastructure that is offered by individual storage providers. 🚀 I then took this a step further and added javascript dependencies to prove also a Next.js framework website can be used & functional.
Big thanks to the IAGON team, for assisting & doing the development work required to facilitate a prove this is achievable on their platform, it's a testament to the team on achieving this in just a few weeks whilst pushing for mainnet milestones, really pushing the boundaries of whats possible. 🩵

What is @loopringorg?
🔹 $LRC is an open-source Layer 2 protocol for building DeFi protocols on the Ethereum blockchain.
🔸It utilizes a cryptographic technique called "zero-knowledge rollups" (zkRollups) to increase transaction speed and decrease costs.

Block Trade by Loopring is here + I believe this could be a major inflection point for onboarding the world to self-custody - by introducing CEX users to a more secure way of trading
TLDR; - STOP giving your funds to CEX's + exposing yourself to this custody risk when you can now access the same CEX liquidity directly from a secure self-custody wallet!
At @loopringorg it is our mission to help onboard the world to self-custody, so users can strip themselves of the risks that come with entrusting their hard earned funds/assets to centralized third parties + take back control of their finances to truly become their own bank💙
We’ve all seen the doom and gloom headlines around crypto over the past years. Centralized exchanges going bankrupt, centralized lending platforms failing, all with customer funds at risk of total loss. Why does this have to happen? Why do we have to give our worldly assets (and trust) to others just to transact?
It doesn't have to be this way. These failures were not failures of crypto, these were centralization failures. True crypto is just getting started, and at it’s foundation is self-custody.
It’s clear that DeFi, with users taking full control of their own funds with their own self-custody wallets is the future - but the reality is that this will be a transition over time, as a majority of the liquidity and users in crypto are still on CEXs.
Why? Because for the most part, thats where the best price execution is. Nobody wants to pay more than they have to for any of their transactions.
I think this will change over time as users learn about self-custody and as it becomes more and more safe to use with innovations like smart wallets (Loopring Smart Wallet) with social recovery that eliminate the single point of failure that scares most people from wanting to try out self custody.
But what if you didn’t have to compromise on liquidity and low fees in order to move over to the new + more secure world of self-custody? This is what we are offering to the world to help make this transition happen faster.
On Loopring L2, users can now get the best of both worlds, by executing transactions from the same, top liquidity pools, from the comfort of your self-custody wallet directly on Ethereum's second layer. Oh, and on L2 it's all gas-free!
Right now we are launching with the following trading pairs, with more pairs to be added over time:
✅ $ETH / $USDC
✅ $LRC / $USDC
When you use the new 'Block Trade' swap feature on Loopring L2, it will match your order with a market maker who is giving you the best price execution available on the same pair on Binance.
Loopring L2 matches your buy/sell order with the market makers opposite side buy/sell order and then just like any other L2 transaction, the swap takes place on L2 and gets ZK 'rolled' up and put into a block to be finalized on Ethereum L1
This all happens on chain and your funds never leave your self-custody wallet, they are simply swapped when the order is matched just like any other order on L2. The market makers do the dirty work so you don't have to!
Long story short, users are getting all the benefits of CEX liquidity, low slippage and low fees, but *without* having to give up control (and ownership) of your assets to this same CEX.
We think this could be an important inflection point for self-custody. Block Trade is currently set up to pull liquidity from CEX's like Binance, but it is dynamic and could theoretically pull liquidity from wherever the best liquidity is in crypto, whether it's another CEX or another DEX on another chain.
Think of it as the ultimate liquidity aggregator. Giving Loopring L2 users liquidity on demand from the best liquidity sources available in crypto🔥
All from the comfort and ultimate security of their own self-custody wallet (preferably a Smart Wallet w/ social recovery for the best protection😎)

You just can't make this up
Rep. Dan Goldman (D) timed selling $PACW perfectly
He sold on 3/6, avoiding the not only the initial drop in $PACW but also the 50% drop after hours today
And guess which district he represents? Wall Street
