We chose to build on mainnet at @DefiMaseer - Institutions "just" started to trust Bitcoin 2 years ago, and they're finally dipping their toes into Ethereum. - Mainnet is where the liquidity is. - L1 really is decentralized. - L1 is the hub, L2 spokes are just a bridge away.
You can just build on L1.

Being a crypto OG is wild because half the time I look like this and half the time I look like my pinned tweet.

The excitement at @EFDevcon doesn’t stop! 🇦🇷 We are revealing the next token at @AzosFinance, a regulated carbon credit instrument that combines measurable environmental impact with financial stability. Find out more about $CANA from @DefiMaseer at https://t.co/T1FwxmPmMT!

This is your ‘oh… ohhhh’ moment.
Everyone’s chasing AI stocks. Meanwhile, every megawatt feeding those GPUs in California has to be covered by a carbon allowance by law. California Carbon Allowances are the quiet “picks & shovels” commodity play on the AI boom.

A fully permissionless Real World Asset on Base. No gates, no allowlists, contracts issue an RWA in your wallet, 1:1 with Compliance Carbon Credits from the 4th biggest economy in the world, California. Bridged to Base and tradable on Aerodrome. Pension-grade assets meet DeFi.

Steady lads.
✅ Off-chain CCA-USD pricing ✅ Morpho-compatible oracle (no DEX spoofing) ✅ 24/7 mint/redeem at real-world NAV (+ fee) That’s how we keep carbon collateral robust.

Fully compatible with DeFi. Sit on it. Borrow against it. LP it. Get rekt on a 50x perp of it. Whatever.
USDT holders get a wrapped dollar. WBTC holders get a wrapped bitcoin. CANA holders get a wrapped California Carbon Allowance with a statutory floor rising at CPI+5% and trading near historic lows.

CANA from @DefiMaseer is stableish and ticking up by design. @ajnafi is up 100% for the week. Both sides of my barbell are heavy.
Markets in free fall. CANA printed +0.4% NAV. Glitch in the matrix.

The hardest part of building a Compliance Carbon RWA is explaining why it's not like any other Carbon RWA.
CANA in one sentence: A token you can hold or use in DeFi, backed 1:1 by real California Carbon Allowances (CCAs)—government “permission slips” to emit CO₂—with a price floor that rises each year by CPI + 5%. ELI5 🧵👇

I do love @ajnafi . This is a project that built an immutable protocol and then dissolved the foundation that built it. While they've been hurting in BizDev as a result of that decision, the protocol has been building lindy for a year and has been deployed on a dozen chains.
Hey asset issuers! Tired of waiting months (or getting rejected) for lending market listings on major protocols? What if I told you there's a way to launch your own lending market in a few hours and keep it running safely without hiring a whole risk team? 👀 🧵/13

Stablecoins are giving you 1:1 of a depreciating dollar. CANA gives you 1:1 of an underlying asset with a government-backed floor price rising at CPI+5% Choose wisely, anon.
Good post on evolving stablecoin market structure. I would extend it further: yes, I think that stablecoin issuers are going to have to share yield with others, but this is just one instance. Everyone is going to have to share yield. Today, the average interest on US savings

Not enough people are talking about fully DeFi-compatible RWAs that can be minted and redeemed on-chain.
The first on-chain redemption of CANA was processed last night, completing an end-to-end cycle of minting and redeeming a RWA token entirely on-chain.

Gradually, then suddenly...
Big news: Maseer works with @KraneShares to bring $950B compliance carbon market on-chain through CANA token. First is California, with a regulatory floor of CPI plus 5%, a fully permissionless ERC-20 with CPI+5% regulatory floor now live.

There's no such thing as blockchain spam. If a transaction pays the market rate for block space, it's not spam.
