I spent the week in Austin at #consensus2024 meeting with founders, attending events, and listening to industry leaders discuss the future of blockchain. I left with a handful of key insights, high convictions on the direction of the industry, and about 5 pounds heavier 😅 Let’s dig in: 1. AI is inescapable. We all might be a little tired of being bombarded with ‘AI this’ and ‘AI that’ but it’s not going anywhere. The key here is defensibility. How will your business model hold up in a world where AI is going to improve exponentially? Does the acceleration of AI improve your competitiveness? 2. Big money is getting interested in BTC, ETH, and Tokenization. I would say the former 2 moreso than the latter for now, but the writing is on the wall. Institutions move at a snail’s pace but Chainlink and Securitize are leading the pack infrastructure-wise. The best sales team will win the RWA game, not the best engineering team. 3. VCs are still excited about web3 gaming. We’ve seen gamified systems like Pump Fun, Friend Tech, and Fantasy Top show that they can pull in massive amounts of revenue even with sub-par user experiences and relatively low DAUs - harnessing these economic drivers in more scalable packages like mobile games could prove hugely profitable. 4. Infrastructure is a losing game right now, with OSS being better positioned for adoption than highly monetized alternatives. It can still be a pretty safe play at VC scale but the tides are finally shifting more toward the application layer. As performance and competitiveness of the infra space goes up, value will accrue more and more to applications. 5. There is still a lot of gas in the tank. VCs were desperate to allocate early in the year but most have regained their discipline. Competition is fierce and there are some really great businesses being born right now - the industry is showing some serious signs of maturity. I expect to see a lot of new funds being raised in the near future. Our team also debuted @Cod3xOrg during Pitchfest, and chatted with a lot of founders and investors about it. Here's some of the high level insight: 1. We left especially bullish on Cod3x because every improvement to AI infrastructure significantly improves our service. We believe that there is no moat in training AI models or building new LLMs due to the strength of the OSS community, and Cod3x is going to be the absolute best place to access the LLM x DeFi intersection at the application level. 2. Our work on vertical integration positions us with a really compelling business-case by significantly reducing our cost per user. Because Cod3x doesn’t rely heavily on TVL or Volume as key performance indicators, we can optimize to bring net-new users into the DeFi universe. 3. A lot of investors are still hesitant to touch DeFi. Whether it be the liability associated with hacks or exploits or the regulatory risk, direct exposure is difficult for a lot of funds to justify. Cod3x can give these people a vehicle for arms-length exposure & operate without expensive liquidity provision agreements or direct exposure to the protocol layer. Overall, I think Consensus was a huge success for the organizers and teams attending. You could tell there were a lot of people brand new to crypto there and the sleek look, tight organization, and diverse roster of speakers left everyone more bullish than they arrived. Cheers to a great event!

Another beautiful start to the week! We’re still hard at work bringing you the latest and greatest innovations in DeFi on Optimism! There’s a lot to be excited about in these next coming weeks!

So happy to share this news with you all! Stay tuned for more details and announcements soon.

Crypto is overwhelming. High yields are appealing but you’ll need two wallets, three bridges and 15 transactions to secure them. Assuming you can even source those yields. It can be as as stressful and time intensive as a full-time job. At least, it used to be. Introducing Cod3x. The solution to all the friction points for user-blockchain interaction.

Sonne Exploit and Impacts on OATH Products Last night, our team was notified of an ongoing inflation attack against Sonne.Finance after they added the VELO token to their markets. We immediately began emergency response procedures, performing withdrawals of as much collateral as possible from the Sonne platform. Ethos Reserve Firstly, Ethos Reserve was largely unaffected. A small number of tokens were exposed to Yearn on the v2.1 platform and were successfully withdrawn. On the deprecated Ethos V1 platform, less than half of the BTC vault was allocated to Sonne, amounting to a just over 1 $BTC in exposure. $ERN remains fully collateralized and its reserves healthy. We continue to monitor Sonne’s BTC reserves as users repay their loans. Reaper Reaper’s Sonne strategies and multi-strategies experienced significant but not complete losses. Current Sonne exposure: ~$367k in WBTC ~$207k in WETH ~$204k in USDT ~$174k in USDC.e ~$49k in wstETH ~$66k in sUSD We will continue to attempt withdrawals. This exposure may be reduced over time as users repay debts. Current tally of recovered funds: ~$135k in OP ~$55.5k in USDC ~$35k in SNX ~$110.6k in DAI ~$110k in WETH During our emergency response operations we were able to rescue close to $500k in assets. We will continue to work on recovery efforts and will provide updates as they arrive. Chapters No OATH Chapters or Granary Silos were impacted by the Sonne exploit. All rehypothecated assets on Chapters/Silos are done so locally to integrated lending markets and have no exposure to Sonne or any other externally-managed protocols. Next Steps We are working with the Sonne team, law enforcement, forensics resources, and @_SEAL_Org in an effort to recover as many funds as possible. Due to the sensitive nature of an active operation we can not share additional information until the investigation is complete. External white-hat operations were also able to rescue a significant amount of funds. We are not including these in this brief as we await final numbers. Conclusion This incident has validated a number of our recent decisions regarding dependency-minimization, asset allocation and rehypothecation. We have decided to accelerate the integration of native lending markets into our products so we can eliminate the need for external yield dependencies. We will continue to monitor Sonne markets for opportunities to recover more funds. We thank the @_SEAL_Org and @chainalysis teams for their rapid response and support in recovering funds. We will publish a more detailed breakdown of numbers once this investigation concludes. Thank you.

Big time yield opportunities on Optimism via Reaper Farm check it out 👇

Time for a reintroduction.. The name is Ethos Reserve—a decentralized lending protocol on the Optimism network. With Ethos Reserve you can leverage your Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) or wrapped staked ETH (wstETH) for interest-free loans. Loans paid in Ethos Reserve Notes (ERN), a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. That’s right interest free, so what’s the catch? When you take out a zero interest loan on Ethos Reserve you’ll be charged a 0.5% fee which up front. Additionally, you’ll need to maintain a minimum amount in collateral to cover the debt. These collateral ratios can be as low as 110% for wBTC, 108% for wETH, and 110% for wsETH. The collateral backing ERN is used to generate passive yield, which is rewarded to users who deposit in the Stability pool. These depositors secure the protocol against unhealthy collateral by funding the liquidation of unhealthy positions within the system with their deposited ERN. So why does Ethos Reserve exist? Ethos Reserve was designed to create a decentralized source of yield that is self sustaining and highly stable. So what can you do with Ethos? Borrow at 0% Interest! Take capital efficient loans Deposit ERN into the stability pool to receive rewards Redeem ERN for underlying assets if it falls below peg And more is on the way! How do you use Ethos Reserve? How can we make Ethos better? Let us know down below or on our Discord!

What is happening with Ethos Reserve? We aren’t going anywhere! We’ve been hard at work on developing V3 of Ethos Reserve for the @Optimism network! We are preparing for the merge but work still continues.. What do you want to see in our next version of our protocol? Let us know! 👇 Discord: discord.com/invite/oathdefi

Did someone say Interest Free Loans? With Ethos Reserve, you can say hello to interest-free loans using your wBTC, wETH, or wstETH! Ditch those high-interest rates and head over to ethos.finance to get started!
