Slowly at first, then all at once: no points to farm and no rebalancing to worry about yourself. We do those parts. 7d APY: 2.15%

Risk isn't just about numbers: it's about understanding what breaks first. @carsonmbrown breaks down how risk really works in DeFi and why liquidity concentration is more dangerous than people think. On the latest episode of Blueprints, Carson sits down with @roth_edgar of @symbioticfi to discuss the evolution of shared security, institutional risk appetite, and how stablecoins are reshaping the space. Topics discussed in this episode: - 00:00 Introduction - 03:35 Rapid Fire Q&A - 05:05 Carson's Path into Crypto - 09:03 Inside Gauntlet's Restaking Team - 16:27 The Overlooked Risk Metric - 24:34 Would TVL Survive Without Incentives? - 27:26 Evolution of Shared Security - 37:07 Stablecoin Staking Insights - 46:10 Balancing Growth and Trust Watch the latest episode of Blueprints:

Vaults “mean that you don’t need to think about yield while being safe” Some vaults (@gauntlet_xyz) watch and immediately respond Others love the DAO Choose carefully!
Replying to @zhusu
People def don't understand what isolated vs cross means but I think it's also misunderstood that isolated margin likely *saved* people money. In particular the bigger shorts...if you're short 7 figs, a 3x is likely getting you liq'd for your full account balance on cross.

Restaking isn’t risk-free. Slashing penalties can wreck rewards. How should protocols price slashing risk? Can we predict and manage these events before they happen? @MingXDynasty from @gauntlet_xyz lays out the math at Restaking Circle. 🇺🇸 RSVP: lu.ma/restaking_denver

new ℝestaking ℝesearch! we formulate restaking as helping PoS networks find the cheapest combination of collaterals to achieve their target level of economic security we think stablecoins would be an expensive but secure option for economic security, and we showed there's a way for networks to optimize security cost with a multi-staking portfolio
1/ As restaking platforms expand support for ERC-20s, stablecoins have increasingly become viable and attractive staking collateral. In a new research blog, we examine how stablecoins, like USDC, can provide premium cryptoeconomic security.

.@aerafinance has quietly hit $120M in TVL 🤯. It's also on a category of its own. Want to shape the future of treasury management and write a ton of Solidity? We're looking for a Protocol Engineer to join the Aera team.

This in a while loop is lowkey what I do @gauntlet_xyz
Study a field in which you can apply mathematics and have the conclusions validated or refuted by contact with free markets or physical reality.
