Eigenlayer now allows restaking of any ERC-20 token. This is a game changer for stablecoins
You can restake your USDT, that'll serve as a security to AVSes. If you mint a liquid token (LRT), it can be used as liquidity in that AVS
This effect unifies the security and liquidity.
Big news from my home country Slovakia!

Polkadot and its projects are having probably the least exposure to FTX situation (and LUNA/UST too). Most of Polkadot's investors too.
It's not like we predicted this, we're just looking elsewhere where it makes sense and build stuff
Blockchains in crypto should consider moving to
@Polkadot
ecosystem and integrate it.
You don't need to build a chain from scratch, take the existing chain, build XCM compatibility and join the relay chain.
You will get interoperability and security guarantees.
The killer app of crypto will be Polkadot's bridge hub. The logic of bridges is deployed onto a single parachain.
Imagine bridging from ETH to Solana, and the bridge is using finality of Polkadot
Now add all other blockchains and you have a meta-app that is powering multichain
Snowbridge - native Polkadot<>ETH bridge will be the most secure bridge out there, because it's secured by the relaychain.
Any attack on the bridge is an attack on the Polkadot itself, and that won't work.
Few understand this, but Polkadot will build very robust bridge tech
Polkadot needs 3 things to start the rocket:
- parachains on Polkadot
- cross-chain messaging protocol (xcmp)
- Ethereum bridge parachain
All three are far in the progress. After the completion, we're ready to go 🚀
This might surprise some, but Polkadot will be the first to have significant traction on the multichain thesis.
Cosmos and ETH L2s will lag behind because of incoherent governance and lack of working interoperability standards
Why Cosmos is more popular than Polkadot?
3 points:
1. Cosmos is easier to grasp: you have chains, and then you connect them. And you make them communicate with each other. End of story.
Polkadot introduced new mental models, parachains, shared security. They are unintuitive,
After months of research, we’re proud to release:

Polkadot should speak more about how it's different from ETH L2s, Cosmos, Avalanche and other layered approaches. Crypto has always been about attracting technical minds first.
-> content around multichain, interoperability, DA, execution layers, cross-chain standards
Polygon Avail is being built on Substrate, potentially a future parachain.
It confirms the thesis that parachains' logic may run the middleware of crypto. A sort of meta-app layer that will secure all other crypto networks
The possibilities are endless

While Polkadot has a strong roadmap on how shared security should look like, Cosmos is just searching for a standard.
It's a tradeoff, Cosmos might find better standard, but Polkadot should be faster in delivery.
Delivery is usually what counts, so I'm betting on Polkadot.
@Cryptocito
@osmosiszone
Me too, but I think Meshsecurity is a bit oversold.
We have Interchain Security, Meshsecurity & evven Luna is doing shared security.
Babylon brings security.
Celestia is sharing security.
At this point, I already feel pretty secure 😂
Narratives usually don't last more than 3-6 months, and it seems the cycles are getting faster
E.g. I remember research blogs about shared sequencing with conclusion we will see a major infrastructure winner for shared sequencing. It was an investment proposition
Today, we have

In this thread we explore how Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is detrimental for capital efficiency and how Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL) can fix it. 🧵
This is the main point of Polkadot.
Parachain buys the blockspace from relaychain, then sells it to users via custom economic model. So many possibilities.
Parachain tokenomics bears the risks, users enjoy better UX and lower costs.
Nice example of more user-friendly blockspace allocation. Mangata X just buys blockspace from Kusama, and chooses to allocate it to users however they like - even without fees.
Polkadot can decentralize all kinds of supporting app layers of other ecosystems.
Think Chainlink or Pokt Network as a parachain, that would inherit the security of the Polkadot relaychain
@dimahledba
why? the decentralized sequencer set could inherit the security of Polkadot relaychain, thus provide better guarantees.
On top, they would get interoperability with all other chains, you could have ETH L2 interoperable with other parachains
this is possible only because Polkadot separated app logic from the finality, so you can make customized parachains.
You can do this only under shared security umbrella, and there is less complexity and smaller attack surface, compared to typical bridge tech
Even though this message might seem negative for Polkadot, it's quite the contrary. Cosmos might have a crisis of narrative and delivery coming soon, dark times ahead.
Polkadot has done its homework in the early days, now mostly good times ahead.
yes
We've delivered 100% on our core blockchain roadmap in Polkadot, now help us please to expand to Ethereum.
This is a unique positioning where Polkadot technology will be used in ETH L2 stack

The killer app of crypto will be Mangata's multirollup. Swapping logic of L2s is deployed onto a single parachain
Imagine swapping between ETH and Solana, and those swaps are finalized by the Polkadot
Now add all other L2s and you have a meta-app that is powering multichain
Mangata can host dozens of cross-chain trading pairs. If you're a Polkadot project but you still have some assets on Ethereum, there's a way to establish a cross-chain AMM pair
e.g. $trac(ETH) / $trac(DOT)
OMG this would solve a big problem the
@origin_trail
and

ecosystem have. Origintrail is a 2 token ecosystem, there is $OTP the gas token for the parachain and $trac the main token for the DKG.
The StateSwap DEX debate continues
I'm in favour of DOT incentives. Our job is to attract liquidity from the outside and there's no other attractive option for Polkadot outsiders
Parachains' won't grow without the growth of DOT, we have to do this
I see this new wave of ETH maximalism around, that there will never be another L1. Just ETH and its L2s.
That's essentially saying that what ETH brought to the world in 2014 is all that can be done. It's just another angle of conservatism at best.
I'm not doubting ETH will be

Gas-free swap model on Mangata:
Instead of paying gas, users lock native MGA tokens and pay only fixed fee 0.3%

Mangata X just enabled one of the most expected features in the whole ecosystem: GASLESS SWAPS 🔥
Applies to transactions of whitelisted token pairs, and trade value above 10k $MGX. For those below,50 $MGX per transaction are locked for 24 hours to secure the network against spam
without exaggerating, it is a paradigm shift in bridge technology, because every other bridge is basically a middleware in between 2 blockchains. Adding too much complexity.
Polkadot native bridges are like one blockchain connecting directly to another, without middleware
The multichain future is inevitable. Interoperability is a natural evolution of blockchains and it will bring massive economic benefits.
The reason why I got into Polkadot is that it's a lead in this paradigm and closest to implementation.

I think it's mostly because Ukraine is recogniseably weaker. The world likes to help the weak in 21st century.

Without a shared security model, there is no ❌ trustless cross-chain composability.
❌You can’t add this feature later, you would need to rebuild from the first line of code.
❌You can’t achieve this with instant finality consensus, finality now means no dispute fixes later.

@0xOnlySimps
yes, but this is the case with traditional bridges too
The difference here is that you don't need new customized standalone bridge for every chain, you can have only one, that is on top inheriting security from Polkadot relaychain.
Much safer and less complex solution
Eigenlayer has potential to absorb or destroy 90% of L1s out there. Why?
Imagine you can fork Solana and build it on top of ETH restake.
ETH stake is higher quality than your own bootstrapped security and you have other perks like L2 interop, ETH alignment, plethora of other
I think the OP stack is good, I'm proud of my part in it, and I'm happy it's as successful as it is.
But let's stay honest: it's not very modular besides swapping the execution engine, and modularity wasn't a big design goal during my time at OP.
Uniswap X is a separate protocol from Uniswap V4. It's expected that settlement for filler network will be done mostly on native UniV4, but not neccesarily. It's a bold move to go cross-chain and I like to see that.
Here's a position where Mangata should be cemented:
UniX swaps
Mangata is great because LPs and traders can both make more money compared to other DeFi venues
How?
Let's say when you trade on ETH on Uniswap, you always pay 0.3% of AMM commission + MEV & gas (unpredictable). The value leakage goes to validators or hackers extracting MEV.
Gasp is now getting 1k organic follows daily on X and same for discord. Our web analytics shows 30% conversion rate, which is...quite okay
I don't even know why, it's just coming
Blockchain without MEV minimization will be dominated only by a handful of sophisticated players.
This will drive gas prices crazy high and will outcompete normal users. What we see now is just a glimpse.
Rollup that is an L2 on Ethereum and simultaneously L3 to other L2s. Additionally, it can be an L2 for other L1s, like Bitcoin.
Launching mainnet in 2 months, testnet is running. We are working on this for some time, so I'm glad this idea sparked in the mindshare
my timeline is getting more lively around MEV again. So it's good to remind Mangata has MEV minimization system in place.
While not ideal, it does help to minimize certain MEV attack vectors. Internally we have an upgraded version

In Polkadot terminology - sequencers=collators, the nodes which create parachain blocks. Most rollups have 1 node, controlled by the team, creating blocks. All top parachains have staking and decentralized collator selection.
Sorry to say this but most of CT influencers are lost. They're one-cycle wonders mostly.

@lex_node
you've started a movement 🙂
Restaked rollups on Eigenlayer is an alignment we need for L2s and ETH
L2s are taking away execution fees from L1, but that's only because they're not decentralized and they're not paying anything for it.
If rollups opt into a high quality stake, they will pay for it, and fees
Appchain DEX model is the only way forward. The chain controls the fees and provides much better profits to traders and LPs.
Dapps like Uniswap have no ability to influence gas fees and MEV. Users pay unnecessary costs and have uncertainty of execution.
Go appchain!
Being a crypto OG is becoming a burden rather than advantage.
Many truths of the past seems not hold strong anymore, they're subject of change.
The most apparent is the decline of BTC maximalism and the rise of ordinals, L2s, BitVM, Babylonchain. Scalability is a hyperfocus,
Examples:
1. Cosmos is following Polkadot and is considering shared security model.
2. ETH 2.0 is following Polkadot too, and is considering app-specific shards.
Both examples shows that Polkadot is the most cutting edge in interoperability.
Gasp is the first DEX based on Eigenlayer.
I’m looking fwd to see the interplay between TVL / economic security / cross-chain revenue flows / token value

Why Eigenlayer?
I was perplexed at first, but it has the potential to kill 90% of L1s out there.
It exposes the vanilla ETH stake without the burden of EVM and layers of Ethereum, and you can rebuild any consensus, p2p, MEV, DA, validity-verification proofs stack out there.
Idea for Gasp rollup is quite simple

Yes, it can!

What's the difference between a bridge and Rollup-Parachain ?
The withdrawal guarantee. If you bridge through trad bridge, e.g. Snowbridge, and the bridge nodes goes down or collude, user funds aren't withdrawable.
In a rollup design, user can always recreate the state and is
