Some of you may or may not know me, so let me introduce myself. I'm Pizza, Malaysian 🇲🇾, and yes I love to eat pizza + all kinds of nice food! I have many thoughts & ideas that I like to share, but sometimes I also shitpost for fun. Cardano is my home chain, been a using it since 2020. So far Cardano has been serving me well & keeping me safe for many years without worrying about smart contract hacks. I like staking natively without locking or need to mint a Liquid Staking Token (LST) to achieve this. While some chains have this feature, Cardano is currently the largest chain to implement it. Yes, I do DeFi on Cardano: - I trade assets with @MinswapDEX & @SteelSwap most of the time. - I lend assets to @liqwidfinance & @flowdefi - I also lend $ADA to @FluidTokens for borrowers to boost their stake. - I stake with @OptimFi & hold $sOADA because I'm bullish on automated yield strategies with $ADA - I buy & sell NFTs on @jpgstoreNFT - I stake $WMT, $IAG & $NVL to support DePIN projects on Cardano And many more that I don't have enough characters to list here At the same time, I have also experienced trying out DeFi on other blockchain ecosystems, such as $ETH, $SOL, $AVAX, $ARB, $SUI, $ALGO, $NEAR, $XRD, $ATOM, $VET, $HBAR, $CKB, $ERG, $ONE, $EGLD, $MINA, $TRX, $BSC, $ZIL, $WAN, $LUNA These experiences really made me a better Blockchain tech learner & investor, and I believed that we all can appreciate the cool things that are done on other ecosystems, and also be critical of their flaws to spur their improvement. I'm also a dRep for Cardano. I don't have time to read all proposals but I'll try my best to read & give rationales to the ones I think are very important! I tend to be unbiased (I hope I am), and if I'm critical, I'll try to give solutions on the best way forward. My intro is up. Now, off you go, lads. We have work to do💪

Wow, what have we got here? 👀 @OptimFi @zygomeb

Something to also take note to new users is that when you lend tokens on @FluidTokens , it doesn't guarantee to earn interest on Day 1. You need borrowers utilizing your tokens and then pay those interests before you can start earning them. So your tokens may sit in the lending pool for days, weeks or months until the borrower starts utilizing them and borrows for DeFi activities. Already tried it myself by putting some amount of ADA in the lending pool for a week. If you check your lending stats, you'll see 0% utilization and you don't actually earn any interest for that whole week as long as it stays zero. Only when the utilization % starts to go up then you'll start accruing interests.

Finally found a very useful reason for using the autopark feature😂

Even a small local blockchain has more stablecoin liquidity backing than Cardano 🥲 @JustJobe @AbaGengGeng @mushisenpai

I've said it from Day 1. $NIGHT exists as a multichain token, not just ONLY a Cardano Native Token that many people I've seen that made those claims. You can't set up a glacier drop to multiple ecosystems, ask users to connect their BTC, ETH or SOL wallets to register their claim, and then force users to create Cardano wallets and claim those tokens like they only exist in Cardano. There needs to be evidence that the claim is for the rightful owner. If a SOL user wants to claim NIGHT using their SOL wallets address, then they should get their NIGHT token in an SPL token format. Same goes to an ETH user with an ERC-20 token. As for staking and validating the Midnight chain, I can finally see now why the existence with multiple token policy IDs is useful with Minotaur. You can have both Cardano SPOs and Solana validators validate the same Midnight block, and then split the NIGHT token rewards 50 / 50 to Cardano and Solana validators and users using both CNT and SPL token formats, without needing to wrap and unwrap them. I think that's genius design IMO. We can even set up native cross-chain swaps with NIGHT in this case.

Can anyone tell me what's the point of an Info Action and a CC if a Treasury Withdrawal can proceed without the approval of the CC during the Info Action stage? At this point, do we even need an Info Action?🙄

Bring out the Dumbledore + Grindelwald gay romance😌

Curious on the behind the scenes. Does @OptimFi use the OADA from the sOADA contract and lend it to @FluidTokens to enable this time-based loans? This also means potentially higher yields for sOADA holders if the loans are being utilized? @zygomeb @elraulito

I'm trying to understand what are the Institutional Digital Asset Custodies and Wallet Infra companies that we plan to integrate with, that the current Cardano Wallet Infra (Lace, NuFi, Begin, Tokeo, etc) don't have?

Yo @cardanoneko , your favourite memecoin is about to drop some big things in DeFi😃

Wen Midgard ser?!!😍
