Tokenization? more like token printing machine.

Why is Ethereum the center of DeFi? Security and composability as apps build on top of protocols (that proved B$ security) which build on top of cutting-edge protocols (aggregators).

what's the worst onchain KPI? wrong answers only

crypto runs on a public database but investors invest on vibes.

DeFi renaissance is happening now because people aren't talking about it anymore to push a narrative & price but there's new products that enable new innovation & fun experiences. Economies & new apps are building around DEXs, Lending, Social on Ethereum, ETH L2s and Farcaster.

Billions in liquidations, no interruption, no hickups.
Aave fine. Maker/Sky fine. Curve fine. Liquity fine. Morpho fine. Compound fine. : All blue chip Defi is fine, and so far I haven't heard of anything else breaking. Nice work all. πŸ’ͺ

Subscription- , Transaction-, Ad-business models rule the world. Will tokens change it? Tokens should have equity-like characteristics and be valued according to revenues but there's additional demand/growth drivers in the form of utility that can lead to a premium

As Eth drives down costs via cheaper & faster l2 blockspace solutions, $ETH revenues on the l1 may go down but $ETH growth drivers, $ETH as money, on 100s of L2s, their DeFi & app ecos will go up. > Study all of the growth drivers of this economy! vitalik.eth.limo/general/202…

Ethereum DeFi is going permissionless, increasing access & opportunity for everyone. Lido's dual governance, community staking module and yield-bearing stETH integration across Defi, Ethereum L1 L2s show the way for safe DeFi (yields) growth.

Aave - the liquidity backbone for DeFi: Borrow whenever you want handpicked assets in size.
3 Feb 2025
Today, @aave experienced over $200 million in liquidations within just 24 hours – the largest event since August 2024. This represents roughly 30% of all liquidations since Aave’s inception, and even more impressively, bad debt has actually decreased. This suggests that our DeFi ecosystem is built on a strong foundation, which includes: -> Rigorous collateral selection and management through governance -> Efficient protocol design for liquidations -> Thick liquidity pools in ecosystem Moreover, considering that Aave v3.3, v4, and the umbrella updates haven't been implemented yet, the future of DeFi looks exceptionally promising. I express my gratitude to those who designed and managed this robust infrastructure, including @StaniKulechov, @marczeller, @eboadom, and @omeragoldberg. Just use Aave. DeFi will win.

Any other lending protocols competing for TVL and users with great developments or unique strategy?

Gmx seems dominant when we just look only at fees. When we take a look at token incentives we see that Pendle is paying a lot & Gmx also has huge incentives. Ultimately looking at earnings: Dydx is leading.

This overall trend doesn't look bad. Did you look under the hood which protocols & behaviors drive the trend?

indeed amazing that this seemingly "once-a-time one-trick pony" can keep up these numbers. maybe they'll be able to turn it into a seasonal revenue generator such as Uniswap. Can't see it becoming a consistent revenue generator unlike aave, mkr, ldo.

it's kind of insane to me that pump can keep these #'s up because pump's revenue is money *directly* leaving the system. it's a tax on memecoin gambling which you would think has some finite cap (ppl run out of money). yet it keeps printing $1m/day in fees...
