Chainlink x Swift
Successful test with more than a dozen of the largest financial institutions and market infrastructure providers.
Key results:
• Connected existing Swift infrastructure to multiple blockchains via CCIP
• Facilitated tokenized asset transfers between public and private blockchains
• Executed multiple token transfers across three use cases for on-chain assets

k so i keep making these little explainers for people but never save them anywhere and so I can't reference them later which means I have to keep re-making them.
to solve that, and to share knowledge, here's a thread of what various thefts look like on-chain.…

MakerDAO plans to explore forking the Solana codebase for their "NewChain". Cosmos stack also in consideration. At least 3 years away on their roadmap.

The last phase of Endgame is the launch of a native blockchain for Maker with the codename NewChain
It will make the ecosystem more secure and efficient
After some research, I believe the Solana codebase should be considered as the basis for NewChain

IanGPT Summary of the Overview of Cosmos by Sam Harts
Sovereign Interoperability:
• Core Concept: Cosmos focuses on "sovereign interoperability," allowing chains to operate independently while still interacting.
• Separation of Concerns: Validators and users are distinct, facilitating governance and community contributions.
• Third-party Verification: Enables transparency and accountability, supported by CometBFT's light client support.
Cosmos Stack Components:
• CometBFT (previously Tendermint): Widely deployed, well-specified, focuses on protocol correctness. Limitations include an inefficient P2P layer.
• Cosmos SDK: Highly flexible, application-specific blockchain framework. Future work focuses on performance and developer experience.
• IBC: Standard messaging protocol for cross-chain interactions. Mature but complex, lacking in dev tools.
• VMs: Include CosmWasm, Ethermint, and Polaris, each with different strengths and developer communities.
Cosmos’ Challenges:
• Documentation: Developer resources are inconsistent.
• Community Support: Difficult to find specialized help.
• Upgrades: Coordinating upgrades is complex in a decentralized ecosystem.
• Marketing: The ecosystem struggles with self-promotion.
Cosmos’ Strengths:
• Community: Active, engaged, and ideologically aligned.
• Specifications: High-quality, rigorous specs.
• Resilience: No single point of failure; ecosystem would survive even even if ICF and Cosmos are "obliterated".

My latest report just dropped on Blockcrunch:
Amongst the CEX-backed L2 solutions that have recently launched, a clear victor emerges (at least for the moment). Base captured attention recently by flipping both Arbitrum and Optimism in activity and fees generated, thanks to the OnChainSummer Campaign and Friend Tech.
The report covers:
⁍ Base's background & architecture
⁍ The OP Stack & Superchain
⁍ Base metrics
⁍ Friend Tech & its impact on Base
⁍ Top 3 proxies to a $BASE token

Aerodrome Finance launched just last week and is already dominating DeFi on Base - briefly reaching $200M TVL in its first 72 hours.
@AerodromeFi currently makes up almost 50% of global TVL on Base!
But what is Aerodrome? And who were the biggest farmers?
