Week 4 of sharing interesting web3 projects you probably never heard about: @3f_xyz 3F is building the infrastructure for leveraged exposure to tokenized real-world assets on top of the @Morpho stack. Most RWA products today are still passive. You buy a tokenized fund, deposit into a vault, or hold a credit product and wait. 3F is making these assets more useful inside DeFi by adding lending, leverage, rebalancing, bridge facilities, and liquidation infrastructure around them. Unlike ETH or USDC, RWAs do not always support instant entry or exit. Settlement can take time, liquidity can be fragmented, and redemptions are often constrained by the underlying asset. For these assets to become meaningful onchain collateral, users need more than tokenization. They need ways to borrow against them, lever them, manage risk, and access liquidity around slower-moving real-world assets. To solve this issue, 3F introduced 2 core concepts, Intents and Bridge Facilitators. Users deposit into an onchain Intent that defines the target leverage. A Bridge Facilitator provides short-term capital while the underlying RWA protocol settles, and smart contracts enforce repayment before users can withdraw. This is where RWAs start moving from passive products into actual DeFi primitives.

A full research mapping why onchain credit hasn't scaled. Then one of the author's solutions is to let people who actually know how to underwrite do it, build the rails around them, and let them compete. That's @zipcodenetwork on @bittensor

I was meditating on a high mountain last Summer in Cajamarca, Peru Away from all the various attention succubi of modern life Retaining my semen (of course) Achieving mild levitation and such When my cell phone buzzed It was my best friend, Salvatore "whassuppyyy" he began, I informed him that whatever had driven him to break my concentration and interrupt my disciplined spiritual alchemy had better be important, or else He said "do you think time exists outside of our experience of it? like we exist in the 3rd dimension, but surely time, which is in and of the 4th dimension, has sort of "always" existed in its entirety, if you will" I hung up and got back to my meditations A llama (or alpaca or whatever, I can never be bothered to learn the difference between these animals) approached me and slowly nudged my shoulder I looked at it and found it was carrying what seemed to be an ancient Incan bolas warrior He spoke to me in some long forgotten Andean language for a few moments I stood up and touched his arm to make sure he was indeed an ancient spirit, rather than a human, as I suspected He was, and my hand passed right through. Apparently I was meditating directly on top of some kind of burial ground Turned out it was the exact spot that Atahualpa was strangled with a garrote by conquistadors I assume I went back to my meditations, confident that a ghost could not hurl actual bolas at me After about two hours the ghost gave up trying to re-secure my attention and disappeared into the Patagonian wind But the alpaca was still there It was real enough, at least I briefly thought about carving a hole it its stomach like Luke Skywalker did to the TonTon on Hoth, but ultimately decided that the weather was too temperate, and the warmth of the alpaca's juicy innards wouldn't really add value to my life So I petted it It went "beehhhhh" Which is the sound they make Then it began its long journey back down the hill I took a swig of warm tap water from a styrofoam cup The sun was setting and now it was getting chilly I chuckled bitterly, thinking about how nice and warm those alpaca guts would be right about now I decided it was time to begin my long sojourn to civilizarion Even the most disciplined monk cannot remain away from civilization forever Mainly because of things like advanced temperature control and indoor plumbing

Here’s your daily reminder that liquidations on Euler usually cost a few bips whereas these Coinbase Morpho users lost over 4% of their collateral. Just use Euler.
~3k Coinbase Loans users were liquidated this week so far on Morpho, with $65M in Bitcoin collateral liquidated, making it the 2nd highest week by users liquidated and 3rd by value since the product launched. Liquidations are a normal and expected part of any DeFi lending product and the numbers here are not abnormal relative to the size of the book (around 4% of total collateral). In DeFi, users interacting with lending protocols generally understand the liquidation mechanic and have accepted it as part of the product design. Nevertheless, the dynamic is different in a consumer crypto lending app. A retail user who deposits cbBTC, borrows stablecoins against it, and gets liquidated during a price drawdown will likely not frame it as a risk they consciously accepted and in many cases, they simply won't come back. This is especially true when the product lacks mechanics that are more UX decisions than protocol ones: a push notification when approaching the liquidation threshold, an automatic collateral top-up option, or a clear in-app warning showing exactly how far the price can move before the position is at risk. For crypto lending to make a real dent in consumer finance, the core design challenge is building the UX/UI rails that adapt a protocol mechanic to what a normal consumer user expects from a financial product

Do you realize how impressive it is to have a $3800 average entry on $ETH for like 4.5% of total supply. We barely spent any time up there, it’s actually astounding, the execution is so bad it is impressive. You couldn’t get that bad of an entry with that size if you tried.

Tom Lee could publicly lose 11 figures on this one trade and eventually close it out at the stone lows, and I am confident that for some reason I will still have to suffer hearing his inane opinions decade after decade from mainstream news clips
