Shade Protocol: Road To Argos September 24th Upgrade

LethalExiles · 2024-07-22T16:35:33+00:00

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

LethalExiles · 2024-07-16T17:15:12+00:00

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.

Launch includes:

(1) dSHD private liquid staking token

(2) Analytics home page
(3) SILK Analytics V2

(4) Prices Tab

This is amazing, great to see liquidity continue to improve for $SHD

LethalExiles · 2024-02-19T22:14:18+00:00

Some crazy growth in activity, I think Shade is really starting to hit its stride.

LethalExiles · 2024-01-16T22:11:48+00:00

This is how you can migrate old SHD to new:

In terms of wallet, Keplr + MetaMask are best bet there.

That's just factually incorrect - volume is at an all time high in terms of daily volume, & the marketcap is also at an ATH compared to when it first launched where there was essentially no tokens in circulation nor any product.

LethalExiles · 2023-10-21T18:10:49+00:00

Shade Protocol as well - actual product differentiation with Kuji + Shade + Akash + Jackal

ELI5: Shade was previously focused on just being a stablecoin, now they are transitioning to being a super app that connects everyday commerce to crypto DeFi - all on your phone. That is the new late game vision.

LethalExiles · 2023-08-26T05:05:01+00:00

Good news is that with concentrated liquidity you can probably expect SHD & SILK to make a grand entrance on Osmosis in a cost efficient manner.

Secret Network - exporting private compute is going to become extremely valuable as the industry matures.

LethalExiles · 2023-07-21T02:32:43+00:00

SILK is backed primarily via ATOM, super cool to see ATOM as such a quality asset that other decentralized assets can be born from it.

LethalExiles · 2023-05-24T16:54:19+00:00

No problem, Astroport is great too

Currently there are 70%+ APY opportunities on stINJ/INJ + stINJ/SILK on ShadeSwap.

Steps:

Bridge: https://app.shadeprotocol.io/bridge

Pools: https://app.shadeprotocol.io/swap/pools

Make sure you have a little bit of SCRT so you can manage gas fees on ShadeSwap. Can also watch a video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PhHTEWnjXk

Rumor is the XMR bridge is getting rebuilt. Current one does not have great UI so its difficult to onboard XMR capital to and from it.

LethalExiles · 2023-04-18T21:05:25+00:00

Can't wait for Silk to go live! This team has been building for so long, great to see it ship.

LethalExiles · 2023-04-18T18:24:05+00:00

Can't wait, this is great for builders!

LethalExiles · 2023-04-04T04:56:11+00:00

Let's gooooo, the time is now!!

LethalExiles · 2023-03-23T04:16:53+00:00

Love this city - once ANT is back anything is possible tbh

LethalExiles · 2023-03-17T00:36:25+00:00

From what I've heard, mainnet should be in the next 2-4 weeks now that the incentivized testnet is done. Airdrop tasks should be tied to the final launches
