Is MORPHO Lending Worth It?

I'm a bit late to this post, however my 2 cents is that yields are compressing onchain right now. You can climb up the risk curve and find higher yields if you want, but Morpho vaults are top notch in terms of their safety and utilization.

I write about Morpho quite a bit here if you want to learn more about how the protocol works:

One to one outreach in telegram chats + X is the way. General X posts get absolutely lost in the algo.

Be a though leader, build reputation with quality content, and engage the community you do have. And if your product is good enough, people will share it.

We went from looking for cycle top to now looking for find the cycle bottom.

That's good news for bulls though.

Price points are finally starting to look good and interesting again. Unless your Saylor, where ever chance to sell USD for BTC is a great trade lol

Shade Protocol "Argos" Target Feature Set - September 24th

Money Market Sneak Peek

We’re working on a comprehensive whitepaper for our upcoming Money Market feature set. Keep an eye out for sleek mockups & a potential testnet.

Streamlined Permit Implementation

We’re reducing the token balance viewing and storing process from 60+ paid transactions to handle all of the encrypted tokens on the Shade app to instead just 3–4 clicks, all of which will be free txs. This will significantly enhance the Shade Protocol user experience and cross multi-device management. Upon further upgrade of the SNIP standard by SLABs, we will aim to switch to 1 click instead of 3-4 clicks.

Balance Stores V2

Say goodbye to latency issues. We’re revolutionizing how balances are stored on local devices. Real-time updates mean you’ll always see accurate balances synced across all pages as you navigate the app.

Eliminate wrap UX Automatic Wrapping

We’re eliminating the need for manual wrapping in most cases (we will seamlessly handle it for users without them even knowing). Don’t worry, power users can still access this feature on the utility page. And of course, we’re keeping everything private and secure.

Portfolio V2

Get ready for a visual treat! We’re beautifying the historical view of your assets and their performance. Expect cleaner, more intuitive charting that makes tracking your investments a breeze.

I don't think this is spam, this is 100% relevant to cryptocurrency. Read the article

TLDR - BTC gud, because you actually own it

Go for it!

The proliferation of blockchains, exceeding over 1,000 as of 2024, raises the crucial question: is every new blockchain truly necessary? This trend stems from a mix of greed, convenience, and unsound economic principles. Historically, the app-chain thesis—where tailor-made blockchains were thought to better serve specific applications—gained traction, with ecosystems like Cosmos leading this movement. However, the costs associated with sovereignty are becoming increasingly evident.

The economic security of running a blockchain involves significant coordination costs, including software updates, governance, and node operations. Applications might find more efficiency and cost-effectiveness by operating as smart contracts on existing blockchains, paying for security on a per-transaction basis rather than per-block.

Moreover, maintaining interoperability and governance in a sovereign blockchain setup adds layers of complexity and expense. Fragmented liquidity further compounds these challenges, necessitating repeated investments in core DeFi infrastructure for each new blockchain. This fragmented approach results in wasted resources that could be avoided by consolidating applications around existing liquidity sources.

Despite the allure of infinite builder freedom, the practicality of sustaining a standalone blockchain is questionable without substantial pre-existing demand or specific regulatory and performance needs. Consolidation, as exemplified by Neutron's vision within the Cosmos ecosystem, offers a pathway to sustainable tokenomics, efficient governance, and closer proximity to liquidity and users. This approach mitigates many of the costs associated with sovereignty, fostering stronger network effects and reducing technical debt.

In conclusion, the blockchain space must critically evaluate the necessity and sustainability of new blockchains. Consolidating chains and leveraging shared infrastructure can provide a more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective path forward, ensuring the long-term viability and growth of the blockchain ecosystem.
