I just stumbled across my origin story of how I started working on @DuneAnalytics and I think a lot of you degens can follow in my footsteps... A thread on starting to work in DeFi and on @DuneAnalytics

Our podcast posted this warning from @donnoh_eth on the DVN set up of LayerZero bridge risks 2 months ago The LayerZero Risk Explorer: sekuba.github.io/dvnstats/ex…

had a great convo with @donnoh_eth, Sheriff of the L2s about the future of L2s and the risks of bridges and interop. Super interesting learnings from someone that has been in the engine room for the layer2 ecosystem for the last couple years. Thanks for coming on @donnoh_eth

so this is why my 5 minute rambles in which I repeat the same thing in 3 different ways work so well
