@AndrewCapasso_@VitalikButerin@0xstrobe@llamaonthebrink Gaming, cross border transfers, RWAs are legit use cases. Let's not say that they don't require Defi. All these use cases will require Defi. If you think ETH network only has speculative use cases, you need to be bearish on ETH
@VitalikButerin@0xstrobe@llamaonthebrink Lending, borrowing, insurance, betting are part of any financial ecosystem because they fulfill inherent needs. Excess of anything is bad, whether excess goods manufactured or excess leverage. I don't think the creators should not favoring one type of use case over others
@VitalikButerin@0xstrobe@llamaonthebrink Isn't that how traditional finance also works? People trying to earn more than the rate at which they borrow. Fulfils the capital requirement for those who don't have the capital. Those who don't have capital get access to it, that's Defi. We should separate Ponzinomics from Defi
@pydono@PrimordialAA Same here. Main report got en-masse targeted by sybils and seems like the team's effort was diverted and they ended up focusing on poor reports with low acceptance rate. Laughable if you say that only 10 M sybils were found out of 85 or 95 M. Waste of effort
@omeragoldberg@chaoslabs Totally agree, incentive mechanisms have to catch up. While figuring out Layerzero sybils, I found ~100K sybils. I would say that 60-80% of users are not real. Outsized returns on airdrops causes this and is a problem the industry has to solve.
