The recording of my talk on Oracle-free DeFi at EthereumZuri.ch is out now!

I highlight the fundamental problems with using Oracles and use Frankencoin and Ajna as examples on how we could have lending without them.

In 1944 the CIA wrote a manual on how to sabotage organizations

Unironically this is exactly what the Arbitrum DAO experience feels like lmao

Oisín Kyne | Obol Network Imo the staked value is already so high that it's not reasonable to assume an attacker would buy coins to attack Ethereum.

The only realistic scenarios are those where entities that already have a large stake are compelled to attack/censor (e.g. through seizure or regulation).

arixon.eth 🦇🔊 Centralized sequencer rollup will always be cheaper than a based sequencer rollup.

So I think the ideal stack is based sequencer L2 with centralized sequencer L3.

If the L3 sequencer fails you can force-exit on the L2 at reasonable price.

L1 force-exits are expensive.

E.g. 7% staking rewards on a coin with 6% annual inflation = 1% taxed as income.

The inflation is like a stock split.

This is very cool 👍👍
