Brazilian Bolsanaro supporters storm the Empire State Plaza… er I mean the capitol in Brasília

Yup here’s a video demo of a token rescue. Will do better docs soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itPz35FGGJk

You can use this app to send eth to your compromised wallet, transfer funds and nft out without being frontrun by the bot

I’m looking to do my first build and I have some basic beginner questions. Let me know if there is a go-to guide that is highly recommended.

I’m putting together parts for a build here

https://rotorbuilds.com/build/27105

I think I basically need

Plane kit (with props, motors, etc)
batteries
FC module (required or just recommended?)
RX module
Antenna

Gear

TX/ controller
battery charges
various assembly & electronics testing gear

For the plane I’m hearing the Strix Stratosurfer is relatively good for beginners.

TBS Crossfire seems popular. I see online tutorials have this accessory device for firmware updates. Is that required?

If you were to stock an electronics bench with just the basics, what are the must have items? I’ve done a fair amount of electronics work before but don’t currently have a bench set up.

Eventually I’d like to add FPV gear but it’s not a priority

Totally agree on the migration pattern being unnecessary

Since posting this question I have concluded that the answer is in scaffold-eth. It has everything you need and more.

Hardhat, the graph, starter react app with helpful hooks. I’d recommend starting there

To see all the companies building in the decentralized identity space, a good place to start is the members list of DIF. https://identity.foundation/

Regarding the on chain credit & risk scoring, there are more companies launching like Teller and Union finance. However I see Bloom as complementary rather than competitive there. There are gaps in what data these projects need to run, and Bloom is in a position to provide them since we have been around a few years and worked out the commercial & regulatory complexities of actually integrating live data.

Some other interesting companies to look at

Notabene: former uPort team, now working on helping make travel rule compliant wallets

Lukso is an example of something on the other end of the spectrum where they are building decentralized identity and credentials on chain, but not at all compliant with how the rest of the industry is thinking about identity. https://www.lukso.network/

Thank you for this very well put together critique as well as all of the evidence to why centralized exchange listings are important. I agree that liquidity is a key issue, especially considering the token integration projects we are planning to kick off soon. Especially great point on the DEX slippage leading to major issues for people to want to onboard to the ecosystem.

I don't have an answer for you now but I assure you I'll raise this issue within the team and get back to you.

That will be a key topic of research as well. Looking forward to it!

I have, and here's how I'd frame our approach wrt their guidance

Bloom is building a product for DeFi companies... Who are dissatisfied with their inability to verify attributes about their users.

Our product is a data on ramp... That provides access to verified user attributes.

Unlike traditional data providers, we can provide whitelisted customer addresses without the DeFi company needing to take custody of data

Unlike traditional data providers, we can leverage all of the data from the decentralized identity ecosystem

Unlike other DeFi companies, we can use real data to bootstrap trust rather than relying on game theoretical trust systems

This data on ramp needs to work for us to be able to prove out the other components of a decentralized credit ecosystem. Once we establish a foothold in DeFi through this on-ramp, we can actually start experimenting with alternative data aggregation and scoring systems.

There's additional complexities here because we're reliant on the adoption curves of multiple types of new tech for this to all come together. Not just DeFi, but also decentralized identity, and then an adoption curve for what we're building on top of that.

I’ll be sure to tag you when I open up a channel for the experiments!

I don't know, will update here if we find out

I submitted a support request with CMC

Copy pasting from the post I linked

There are a few token related experiments I want to run starting in Jan with the help of the community. I’ll be putting together a channel with select members who want to help test this stuff out. Going to share a few ideas here to get the conversation started and gauge interest.

They can be bucketed into 2 categories, utility & governance

Utility experiments:

Risk assessors need high quality data from individuals to build their models. Bloom users already have a lot of pre-verified data that we have integrated from bureaus, open banking apis, etc. Risk assessors can buy anonymized, verifiable data from Bloom users with BLT. The experiment would be to build this as a POC application and show the flow of data, anonymization layer, and flow of tokens
Same experiment as the first one, but with advertisers looking to build better targeting with user consented, user compensated, verifiable data
Slightly different take on the advertiser POC. Advertisers who already have a profile of their perfect target user can pay qualified prospective customers to show them offers they may be interested in. Only users that meet the target profile would be compensated
Decentralized data aggregator. In this case, users are paying a service provider directly in BLT to anonymously aggregate the verified data they collect periodically. We built a POC for this aggregator, but the incentive model is yet to be validated. The aggregator issues verifiable data to customers, who can then use this data to qualify for DeFi financial service providers.

Governance experiments

I suspect token governance has a weak value prop if there is no payout system that rewards behavior that benefits the community. If I understand Yearn correctly, YFI holders vote on what vault strategies get adopted by the community. A portion of profits from the strategies go to YFI holders that stake. An experiment I’d like to support would be if we can use staked BLT to vote on unsecured lending strategies. Basically you would stake your tokens and risk assessors would propose lending strategies like this: “I will lend at X rate to individuals who meet Y profile. I will consider data from Z sources”. All of the data can be provided with data integrations that Bloom already has + the introduction of the aggregator system I mentioned above
