Ethereum scaling! 🧗‍♂️

That's right, a way to make an amazing blockchain even better. ⛓️

What's it all about? Fly on over to today's blog post and check it out!
https://medium.com/@Magpieprotocol/scaling-ethereum-magpies-expedition-to-new-heights-c5ab3fca526f

So what is it and why do we need it?

Well, we all want transactions to be faster and not cost as much in gas, right? 💸

That's what scaling Ethereum is when you get down to it. Creating ways to make it better.


This is done usually with layer 2 solutions:

➡️ Things like Optimism, Polygon, Arbitrum, zkSync.

🔧 All of which we either have integrated or are currently working on integrating.

Magpie is here to make sure you have an easy time in DeFi!

📣 Come join us as our founder Dr. Ali Raheman sits down to chat with Anjan Vinod, ParaFi Capital VP.

GM Magpies!

It's #WednesdayWisdom time, so what's on the agenda for this week? 📒

We're talking about Magpies nests, or you could say, where we're building. 🏗️

We want our protocol to be used all over DeFi, just as Magpies are found all over the world. 🌏

2/
For our Alpha test, we support cross-chain and on-chain swaps for #Ethereum, #Polygon, #BSC / #BNBChain, and #Avalanche. 🔗

That makes for four of the top 6 chains in DeFi on which you can swap any asset you'd like for any other, in just a few clicks.

3/
With nests built on each of these chains, you can come visit or test them out without the need to figure out where to bridge or which DEX to use.

Magpie does it all for you, and you'll get the best price. 💰

So where are we headed next? After all, there's more to explore!

4/
⏭️ We plan on integrating #zkSync, #Arbitrum, and #Optimism for our official public alpha, so be sure to follow us here and join our Discord & Telegram to stay up to date.

Want a few more? Poke that beak around our website and you can find a few more we're working on as well!

Hey Magpies!

What can DeFi do for you? Find out in todays #WednesdayWisdom where we cover how DeFi can become the worlds default payment service.

Currently, we've got Fiat (not the car) 💵

It's out of date & using it hasn't been improved in decades, and you have to give it to a bank to hold on to it for you until you want to use it. 🏦


So why crypto over fiat?

👉First things first: Decentralization!

👉Secondly, transactions are verified by the blockchain, not banks & credit card companies.

👉Third, DeFi is faster and cheaper already.


📈 Crypto as a payment service has increased over 50% year over year, so it's working, but still needs improved.

📚 Want to learn more?

Check out today's blog post, it'll just take 10 minutes and you can share with your friends & family how crypto is the future of finance!

What's up Magpies? 👋
📣 Today we've got a different type of treat for you all, our next integration announcement, and it's quite exciting! #hashflow!

📖 Check out today's blog post

https://medium.com/@Magpieprotocol/hashflow-magpie-a-match-made-for-defi-2df279f59941

Check out below to learn more about them🧵

2/
Hashflow is a decentralized exchange designed for interoperability, zero slippage, and MEV-protected (that means no frontrunning or sandwich attacks) trades.

On Hashflow, what you see is what you get, meaning that all quotes are executed at their displayed price. ✔️

3/
🤔 How do they do this?

Rather than AMMs, they use a RFQ model in which professional MMs source liquidity and price assets using off-chain pricing functions, backed by cryptographic signatures.

This makes frontrunning impossible & trades are executed at the displayed price.

4/
Using this method, market makers can use more advanced pricing strategies compared to
AMMs, factoring in off-chain data such as volatility, historic asset prices, and more.
📈 But what does that all mean for you, the trader?

5/
💰 It means that you get better prices and guaranteed quotes.You also get zero slippage swaps that are never subject to sandwich attacks or frontrunning,
meaning you don't have to worry about getting less than you see when you click swap.

6/
Additionally, you're able to swap your stablecoins and many of the top tokens cross-chain,
benefiting from zero slippage, no front-running, as well as being much faster than bridging.
It's a great protocol and we're excited to be linking up with them. 🤝

7/
So how will this affect Magpie? 🐦
We're integrating them right into our already amazing order routing algorithm.
So you get the best of both worlds!

8/
For one, by using Magpie on top of Hashflow you can swap using ANY asset, to any chain.
You're not limited to stablecoins and major tokens.
With Magpie, you're free to fly with whatever you want. 😉

9/
Enjoy slippage free and sandwich (attack of course) resistant swaps when routed through
Hashflow.
🚄 When you swap, we'll instantly calculate the best route possible to get you the best price,
no matter what it takes!

10/
In the meantime, head over to #hashflow, show them some love, and let them know Magpie
sent you! 💜

Fun Facts Fridays, is that a thing? No, well, then we've got some stats for you. 📈
