    Smoke is Shutting Down Yep. It’s been several months since I stopped working on Smoke. I thought I’d get back into it naturally if it pulled me back, but I don’t think I want to anymore. A few weeks ago the domain quietly expired, and that was proof enough. Time to take it

    Broad Daylight Robberies on Berachain, Abstract, and more ft. Stargate Hydra
    Stargate Hydra is facilitating one of DeFi’s riskiest and least transparent forms of collateral reuse. Users are unknowingly locking up liquidity without compensation, while Stargate and Hydra chains...

    Being a founder is a lonely road - we were all told so, but the reality is harsher than I expected. This is the reason why there's so little experimentation in the space. It's truly a ghost town out here. Especially in the bootstrapping phase. How do I get more people rooting

    LayerZero is more than just a contract interface. LZ has: 1. messaging standards, 2. relayer infra, 3. LayerZeroScan, 4. super extensibility by offering basic DVNs for new chains (before such routes become popular),

    There’s a lot of doublespeak on OFTs, LZ, and hydra. When people worry about security, LZ says it’s just a contract interface. But when people actually set these up, they use LZ’s DVN. There is obviously no billion dollar business in building basic contract interfaces.

    Battle of Bridges: Across vs Stargate It is easier to start wars, but harder to end them. I'd like to be known as the peacemaker who ended this battle early, the sandbag that prevented the flood. Building Dune dashboards isn't my main thing, but I'd happily build a 1000

    Perfect. A Dune dashboard that compares Across vs Stargate on these routes: 1. Base -> Arbitrum 2. Arbitrum -> Ethereum Any more routes? Sizes: $50 (Median) $100 (Mean) $1000 $10000+ We will have two things: 1. Comparing costs using BPS 2. 31st will be used as the

    Did you know that ETH had 5 million ETH issued every year for the past 8 years? In the last 2 years it was almost $1B worth of ETH issued EVERY MONTH and dumped on the market by the miners.

    Solver Competition: Present and Future Right now, solvers (or bridges) compete on bridge aggregators like @lifiprotocol and @SOCKETProtocol to provide the best price. This is great for users, but integrating with LIFI or Socket isn’t always straightforward. For example,

    Across is not comparable to LayerZero. One is a token bridge another is a modular messaging protocol. LayerZero is like an aggregator of messaging bridges. They do run their own messaging bridge which is a trusted system. But LayerZero's architecture enables you to be
