Iโ€™m beyond excited for Mike Seavers to succeed me as CTO at Yuga Labs. I have complete confidence in Mike and believe he is the right person to scale the Yuga engineering org to deliver on our ever-growing ambitions as a company. It has been an immense privilege to watch Yuga grow from the four person team that it once was into the Web3 juggernaut that it is today, and I cannot wait to see where we go from here ๐Ÿ…

It hasnโ€™t affected us. We never used FTX.com though some of our partners did. We had some money on FTX.us but we moved it out earlier in the week. Heart goes out to anyone who has been hurt by this insanity.

@CryptoGarga @GordonGoner how badly has the FTX debacle hit the @yugalabs ecosystem? Any comments?

In the model weโ€™re proposing, creators can add any smart contract address to the allowlist that they choose, including addresses for lending protocols, vaults, etc.
yeah reading through it again and getting thoughts from people much smarter than me this would impact a core component of NFTs and slow down innovation

It's a footnote in the blog post, but we also propose allowlisting code hashes for common implementations of things like smart contract wallets โ€” this could also apply to things like escrow contracts and other tools

This actually enhances security, since compatibility will be limited to contracts that are known to be secure / battle tested

Under this model, creators have full control over which contracts are added to their allowlists. They can choose to use an allowlist maintained by a DAO or some other governing body, one that is entirely their own, or a combination of both.

This is really dangerous imo. It would create a gatekeeping governing body which would eventually be riddled with internal politics and stifle innovation on the marketplace front as a result. Imo governance is still unsolved so converting this to a gov problem is a regression.

The central, "governed" allowlist would serve as a trusted set of contracts that creators can use as the jumping off point for their own allowlists.

Something weird going on with the @OthersideMeta twitter account. Insane that I have to say this, but don't trust anything coming from that account for the time being.
