1/ A brief preview of some @Uniswap v3 stats and analysis I've been looking at.
Does this qualify as "alpha leak"? (have yet to use that term in a tweet 😅)
As a researcher in crypto, the availability of data is 10x better than 3 years ago.
@DuneAnalytics for quick query->graph cycles
@flipsidecrypto for custom api endpoints on key projects
@graphprotocol for deep well of community built subgraphs
@nansen_ai for God Mode 🔍
The PVP-ness of the DeFi ecosystem has accelerated rapidly.
👑 @aave /@CurveFinance make stablecoins to go for the crown of primary issuer.
♻️ @MakerDAO launches a secondary lending protocol to stop giving free liquidity / yield to competitors.
🎯 Aave hard targets
Lot of folks think of price as a 1-dimensional variable, but time-scale, volume and distribution are critical.
In that spirit, I've created a new live-updating resource for viewing a breakdown of the @MakerDAO$Dai volume across exchange + price-range: dai.descipher.io
Markets are like musical chairs. Music going and everyone running around in a bull. In a bear, the music stops and everyone looking for a chair (product-market-fit). Anyone left without a chair will be sitting on the floor.
2022-23 the year of PMF.
💰Currently #DeFi replaces trust with massive overcollateralization.
💳 It will be very difficult to do away with this feature until we have a good, decentralized credit rating system.
🔒This would be accelerated by a widely proliferated, non-gameable identity solution.
Continually amazed by the momentum behind the #DeFi movement. @MakerDAO has been the tip of the spear pushing forward. ~$300M in loans issued to date and ~$235M since last May (~380% growth YoY). That's a real and measurable impact. What will the stats be in 2020?
