Very insightful read on what's going on today with USDX. Must read for DeFi falks!
USDX, a $680m stablecoin by @stableslabs is undergoing a major depeg ⚠️ Let’s break down what is happening and the cascading ecosystem impact What is USDX? Stableslabs describes USDX as �� A delta-neutral synthetic stablecoin that offers: Delta-neutral stability with 100%

The xUSD depeg illustrates why transparent onchain risk markets are essential to scaling onchain finance. Cork introduces a new primitive for tokenized risk, serving as a programmable risk layer for onchain assets such as vault tokens, yield-bearing stablecoins, liquid

Was surprised to see a 4+ years old contract get hacked today. Turns out, two of the contracts involved were deployed 2 years ago by a factory contract that is also ~2 years old. Let's wait for the post mortem to understand what exactly happened there, which contract was
The protocol @Balancer appears to have been exploited — about $70.6M in assets was transferred out, including: 6,587 $WETH($24.46 M) 6,851 $osETH($26.86 M) 4,260 $wstETH(~$19.27 M) https://t.co/oH4OuWSSbR

this one is interesting, was digging into the Midas vaults last night as they offer some of the best yields in DeFi (25-35% APYs !?) and managed by top institutions. mHYPER, mMEV, mEDGE, mRe7, etc. + advertised as liquid yield tokens. which sounds great & is (kinda?) true Midas
Hey @MidasRWA and @hyperithm You are promoting mHYPER as a "liquid yield token". I would be very curious to see what happens if everyone tries to withdraw from this liquid yield token. Thank you.

Quick poll: How do you back up your crypto wallet? A) Seed phrase on paper B) Notes app C) Hardware wallet D) I... don't? 😅 We're building a better way: identity-based backup with your friends/family. No seed phrases. No apps for them to install. Works with ANY wallet.

Vaults advertise fast exits. But when the assets inside take 90 days to unlock, speed becomes a story of risk. Our first research piece with @serotonin_hq dives deep into what really happens under stress.

Duration risk is not a meme. It is the single most underestimated threat in DeFi. The Ethereum exit queue is the clearest example. It has tripled to 45 days. That is not just a line. It is systemic risk.
