@hedge__x Agree, but unifying the existing tiny capital base of liquidity isn’t going to scale this industry 99.3% of the world’s capital is afraid to deploy onchain due to application and UX risk Need to make blockspace safe to actually scale anything here, @UseFirewall

@pumatheuma ZK is endgame, but the UX downside of optimistic is greatly reduced by fast bridges, etc. Still impractical as it requires support and liquidity, but worth acknowledging

Exciting evolution! Dai is the fourth asset, and Dai Savings Rate is the fourth opportunity @RoboForYield supports. Note, Sai support continues in RAY. The RAY bridge is for users looking to convert Sai -> Dai on their own accord.

The @RoboForYield now supports Dai and the @MakerDAO Dai Savings Rate. 🎉✅ Intended to save users gas costs, time, and effort, a bridge that lets users convert Sai RAYs to Dai RAYs is available. Learn more about the release and upgrading:

@bucknasty20141 @trent_vanepps A liquidity crunch wouldn’t inhibit the network’s users. ETH has 18 decimals. At current prices we’re used to denominating gas price in Gwei (9) - still many magnitudes left. If ETH/USD rose substantially, smaller units would be used as the norm for txn payment (ie. 0.01 Gwei)

It costs teams obscene amounts of money, time, agility, and exposes them to unnecessary brand risk early in their search for product-market fit. By leveraging the Progressive Irreversibility model through Pilot's L2, teams can find product-market fit faster, cheaper, and safer.

I view Progressive Irreversibility as the crucial missing aspect to @jessewldn 's spot-on concept of Progressive Decentralization from 2020 This existing concept doesn't remove the security risk associated with new products or features, which has many negative downstream effects

Staked was successfully acquired by @krakenfx in late 2021. It gives me great pride and honour to have been a tiny part of that story. It’s with a sense of melancholy that I bid farewell to this chapter of my professional life, but I’m beyond excited for the next stages (🔜)!

@0xDeFiDevin @monad_xyz Agreed, speed is commoditized. Firewall builds safe blocks because that’s what DeFi needs to bring liquidity onchain Checkout my pod clip with @therollupco below. Speed x Security for all Btw love monad, they’re a great team, build real innovation and kicked off the speed games

LM! I’ve joined the @CelestineSloth movement. Why? @UseFirewall is building safe blockspace for the modular expansion. Our Safe Sequencer filters out exploits, and makes sure 🦥's can stay lazy and carefree. See my clip with @therollupco , and why the future is speed X security

@rushimanche Yep, ton of nuance - and @UseFirewall sequencer/EVM and wider system are built to be non-custodial, provable, and game-theory aligned to only censor exploits We marry core values of crypto with user safety. Redefine consensus so that exploits are invalid

@ayyyeandy The issue is infra to-date is over-focused on a subset of issues, the application layer is hardly considered outside of speed Berachain is the best example for what it looks like when the protocol layer considers its application layer

@adityabajaj23 @beast_ico rollups can @UseFirewall to differentiate and enhance their block-space, protect user funds, and attract liquidity easier rollups are commoditized, relative to each other there's no difference in txn fees or speed. When all else normalizes, assets flow to the safest place for

Extending my gratitude and best wishes to my colleagues, mentors, and friends at Staked (past and current) that have made these 4+ years a true joy. The lessons learned, experience gained, and people met during this phase of my life are invaluable.

Welcoming all feedback, thoughts, and criticism! This is only one piece of Pilot's solution to the industry, and please reach out with any questions, etc. At @Pilot_HQ we're excited to build the solution to onchain security by challenging some fundamentally accepted concepts.
