Currently running through Vitalik's blog posts. I am always in awe regarding the quality of his writing and his ability to really break down complex concepts for the layperson. Personally, my role model for future technical writing pieces Otherwise focused on learning: * Differences between ZK-SNARKS and Fraud Proofs * Differences between L2 Scaling Technologies (benefits, limitations, feature sets) * Data availability (Celestia, EIP-4844, data compression) Another interesting learning was understanding the deconstruction of decentralized social media. Using roll-ups for important features such as user name registration, whereas, more off-chain/centralized servers could be used for lower value activities for likes, posts, etc. This will be a common "trade-off" gaming and social media projects may undertake. Trading off security and decentralization for high TPS, especially for lower-value activities (e.g. likes)
Completely agree with this statement. Predictions markets have worked great for large, wide-spread events that capture tons of eyeballs. Unfortunately for niches but equally important events there's not enough eyeballs/spectators for prediction markets to remain fruitful
Has anyone thought about whats a cost that would mitigate spam? X cost of spam is in few cents (need email, some bot running or manually spending own time to spam). Blue checkmark spam would be 8 USD per month. Polygon and L2s have decent amount of spam NFTs, costing also few cents. What would be a cost that would mitigate spam efficiently?

PREPARING FOR $STRK 🐺 Time sensitive post, 8 hours left ⏰ @argentHQ wallet is doing a "Xplorer Campaign" - something similar to the Arbitrum Odyssey that got the $ARB airdrop to many users. There are 8 NFTs to collect. Deadline for the 1st is today Airdrop Strategy 🪂: 1/xx Similar to Arbitrum Odyssey, Argent is: • Launching one campaign per week • Rewarding 1 NFT per week after each campaign • Helping users get to know the Starknet ecosystem • Helping protocols get discovered 2/9 $STRK: remember that the token has already been confirmed and deployed. Not currently trading: 0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766 There is no information about a retroactive airdrop for Starknet users yet, but there is 8.1% of "Unallocated" supply. 3/9 $STRK: In the other hand, StarkEX users (dYdX, Immutable, etc) are indeed getting an airdrop. Stay tuned for more news on this front - we will probably get some updates when the token becomes tradable. 4/9 This campaign is a good way to generate organic activity on-chain and to get to know Starknet protocols. Argent will be giving 8 NFTs for 8 weeks, 1 per week. First week was until May 9. However, since the network was slow, they extended the deadline to today 23:59 🚨 5/9 WEEK 1 To get the first NFT: 1. Install Argent X extension: 🔗 chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/argent-x/dlcobpjiigpikoobohmabehhmhfoodbb 2. Bridge ETH to Starknet: 🔗 starkgate.starknet.io (or use Orbiter) 3. Make (1) transaction on Starknet Mainnet using Argent X (make a swap @10KSwap, use @Orbiter_Finance, etc) 6/9 WEEK 1 Argent extended the deadline so users can get the first NFT if they interact today. There's still time - deadline is Thursday 11 May 23:59 UTC. https://twitter.com/argenthq/status/1656597368316231681 7/9 WEEK 2 Starting yesterday, there is time until May 16 23:59 UTC to also complete week 2. To get the second NFT: 1. Play the game in: 🔗 starkfighter.xyz 2. Get a .stark domain for free here: 🔗 xplorer.starknet.id 3. Submit your score (tweet required) 8/9 NFTs cannot be minted yet. They will share a link for users to mint the NFT after the snapshots are taken, so stay tuned. Once there's news about the mint page, or week 3 tasks, I will update. These tasks are not capital-intensive, it's a great opportunity to interact. 9/9 🏛️ You can delegate your future $STRK tokens to olimpio.eth in advance: 🔗 https://delegate.starknet.io/profile/olimpio.eth#statement (ETH Mainnet txn required) I was chosen to be one of the recipients of the Starknet Foundation's voting power ⚡️ I'll update ⚡️

Gmmmmm!
TLDR: The use of swap lines between the Fed and major central banks like the ECB essentially creates new money. This is because when the ECB takes treasuries from EU banks and gives them dollars, the EU banks now have more dollars than they did before. These dollars are then available to lend out, which increases the money supply. In addition, the swap line balances balloon on the Fed's balance sheet, which can also contribute to an increase in the money supply. This increase in the money supply can lead to inflationary pressure and is often referred to as "money printing".
Fed's Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) is a clever way to accomplish unlimited buying of government bonds without actually having to buy them. Bottom line, savers get REKT'd with diminishing purchasing power

**TLDR: Silver Gate $SI** Silvergate Capital's shares have **dropped over 45%** after informing the SEC that it will **miss its annual report deadline**, and that it is evaluating its ability to remain in business. The bank incurred a $**1 billion loss in Q4** after **FTX** collapsed and is now at the center of a fraud investigation. Silvergate sold additional debt securities in January and February and **expects to record further losses** than previously disclosed, which could affect its ability to continue as a "going concern." It anticipates its **regulatory capital ratios will be adversely impacted**, making it "less than well-capitalized." The bank's shares have collapsed over the last year due to its **involvement with several crypto firms and bankruptcies** in the digital asset industry
Wondering if I'll look back at Lenster and Phi next bull market and be happy for participating early on! #Yasai
Lens mobile apps could support Paid Collects by adding the fee that Apple wants to charge. Lot of folks would love to collect on mobile as well (including me) and really don't mind to pay slightly higher collect fee. Its difficult to fight Apple now, and better to deal with it later (need decentralized app store and hardware down the line).
A New @lensprotocol @lenster.lens Quest was added! Pond of Phi - Create a land with "lens.[your ens].eth" (e.g. lens.vitalik.eth) & Set the Lenster Baseplate.

Hello, lens community!
Stumbled on Phi during my daily newsletter recap after discovering they received $2M in seed funding. Anywho, began exploring their platform and starting collecting a ton of EXP and rewards from Quests! Much of these I was already eligible for - pretty cool experience collecting and reviewing my history on this wallet. Anywho, here's to another adventure on Lenster! #Yasai #Yasai
$LENS Airdrop Strategy 🌿 There have been rumours that @LensProtocol's token is close. Coinbase had the LENS price page for one day before taking it down. Thread: • How to get a Lens Profile • Complete the new Lens quests and get a reward ⚡️ 🧵 1/11 ✅ $LENS info On Feb 1, @stani.lens, Lens' Founder, published a tweet with Ξ16460695 ETH block. That block was mined in Jan 22. Could it be a snapshot? 🔗 https://etherscan.io/block/16460695 https://twitter.com/stanikulechov/status/1620802163843928064 2/11 ✅ $LENS info Stani spoke about governance in a Podcast in May 2022 TLDR: It's a progressive approach. Lens in-protocol fee collection is 0 atm, but if switched "on", they could go to a community owned treasury I tweeted about this in Jun 2022 👇 https://twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1533846684480024581 3/11 ✅ $LENS info There is no official info yet, this is all speculation, however it's natural for a protocol to eventually pursue decentralization via token governance. So let's stay tuned and see how this evolves, we are early 4/11 ✅ How to get a Lens handle? Many people doesn't know that Lens profiles are NFTs and can be purchased in Polygon Opensea: https://opensea.io/collection/lens-protocol-profiles Floor price has been slowly inceasing, right now it costs 86 USDC to get one that's already minted. 5/11 If you buy a Lens handle in Opensea, you can start using it immediately. However you can't pick up the @ handle, since it was already minted by someone. Also, floor price will probably dump hard when Lens Profiles are unlimitedly open to the public. No ETA on that. 6/11 ✅ How to get a Lens handle? The other way to get a handle is mint it yourself, but right now minting is closed, and they open it for some users from time to time. Latest way to get whitelisted is to have +700 DegenScore and mint via Phaver App 👇 https://twitter.com/StaniKulechov/status/1625134666867933185 7/11 ✅ Lens Quests in Phi Lens launched a series of Quests in @philand.lens on Feb 7.

Some takeaways from @bankless.lens recent interview with Blur's Pacman: **TLDR: Blur was able to capitalize on this virtuous cycle** **Deep Liquidity --> Better Trading Experience --> Attracted Traders --> Deeper Liquidity** Notes: Liquidity refers to the ability to buy or sell an NFT without significantly affecting its price. High liquidity allows for efficient trading and price discovery, while low liquidity can result in significant price swings and make it difficult to enter or exit a trade at a fair price. Volume, which is the total number of NFTs traded, is not necessarily a reliable indicator of liquidity or the ease of trading. Volume is often a vanity metric that can be artificially inflated by wash traders. There can also be high volume, yet wide bid-ask spreads leading to poor trading experiences.
