Solves earning yield while making prediction markets, btw
Let’s say you want to make markets on BTC price + NBA finals + currency exchange rates.
AMM-style design would make you split and lock your funds across the 3 separate markets.
@yielddev used Aqua to work more efficiently ⬇️

Aqua isn’t just swap strategies.
Here’s more fuel for your imagination: a full-blown prediction market. Bet on sports, crypto prices, elections… anything.
One pool of capital. Dozens of markets at once.
This one was invented by @yielddev - and won the 1st place @1inch bounty @ETHGlobal.
Let’s go ⬇️
It's a valid point, I could abstract the fact they users are bridging to sonic when they deposit. However, I need to be able to generate yield but defi tvl is ded, under 100 million and dropping
I really would like to build a new project on @SonicLabs, the ux of sub second TTF would be perfect for my use case.
However, there are no users, no DeFi TVL and no builder grants. As history has shown, there is more to sustaining network effects than just superior tech.
Someone convince me. Are there compelling reasons to build on sonic $S ?
I will solve transparent tokenized vaults shortly. If anyone is interested
This isn’t a verdict against tokenized vaults - it’s a verdict against opacity. The fix is transparency and guardrails. That’s exactly what @YuzuMoneyX is building.

Crazy how most of "DeFi" is just a bunch of no timelock multisigs.
The level of research you need to do to find out is also pretty insane. Knowing which is which, and acting accordingly, can literally save you all your money.
Created a list, will keep private bc that's alpha.

Most crypto neobanks promise the same trifecta:
> Yield.
> Custody.
> Availability.
But here’s the truth: you can only pick two.
Not three.
Want high on-chain yield + self-custody?
Try @Plasma One. But fiat ramps are limited.
Want a global card access and high APYs?
Use @cryptocom. But you give up your keys.
Want to hold your own assets + swipe Visa anywhere?
There’s @gnosisdao Pay. But don’t expect DeFi returns.
So far, no one nails all three.
(Mantle @UR_global might come closest, but it’s still early days.)
Every neobank lives on one edge.
→ Builders must decide what not to optimize.
→ Users must know what they’re sacrificing.
Self-custody, stablecoin yield, and spending power can coexist, but until then, not at full strength.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
The triangle may shrink.
But for now: the trilemma holds.
Accept your tradeoff.
Choose wisely.
ADL creates the bottom, it didn’t kick in at the bottom, as forced buyers become liquidity providers of last resort.
TLDR; ADL IS A GREAT CRYPTO INNOVATION !!!!
ADL acts effectively as a circuit breaker.
It’s actually a very good system for a no-recourse counterparty like a crypto perp dex.
It’s a trade off of the market. No recourse in excess of your collateral when you lose, but ADL circuit breakers force you to provide liquidity when required.
The other option to ensure the dexes solvency would be socialized losses but ADL at least has the added benefit of stabilizing the market in a market based way (Making the Market)
Insurance fund also makes this exceedingly rare, only in the lowest liquidity environment does it make a difference.
ADL is an amazing market innovation!!!
Perp dexes have designed an unregulated market without the need for circuit breakers and without recourse between the counterparties !!!!!
Using crypto and defi has trade off you must understand.
This is just an insane amount of glazing.
$STRC is great financial engineering, and a brilliant method for Saylor to source leverage.
This does Not create a "pegged, yield-bearing, Bitcoin-backed stablecoin"
The fact is it is not backed by bitcoin it is backed by MSTR where it is 3rd in seniority in the capital structure.
$MSTR does not generate yields on it's holding therefore, $MSTR equity holders pay for this yield (of course, they benefit from the leverage it generates as well).
Using the Euler operator pattern we can delegate the authority of the portfolio's Euler account to a bespoke smart contract which implements our portfolio's construction parameters and has the authority to buy/sell and withdraw/borrow only in so far as the execution of these transactions rebalance our portfolio according to the assigned parameters.
🚀 Unlock secure on-chain bots with @eulerfinance's Account Operator feature:
Build a keeper for an actively managed strategy
Securely execute rebalancing trades via a server while access to funds stays with a secure wallet.
Define the risk parameters and rebalancing trades in a smart contract.
Approve it as an operator for the sub account.
The hot key held on the server can only execute transactions that rebalance the strategy.
