TradiFi (Traditional Finance) having Liquid Restake Protocol, a different form of Liquid Restake Tokens in DeFi (Decentralized Finance), would give such TradiFi institutions an edge over most other conventional commercial banks across the globe.
LRT is a new kid on the block in DeFi and requires some level of technical navigation and fundamental understanding of DeFi (if you need a quick call on DeFi to catch up, look up Adrian Pape)
✨ Benefits of LRTs
1. Capital Efficiency: Users earn rewards from multiple protocols with the same capital.
2. Enhanced Security: It allows new protocols to tap into Ethereum's existing security layer (right now, via EigenLayer) .
✨ Risks of LRTs
1. Centralization Risk: Potential for systemic risk to Ethereum if too many stakers move to EigenLayer.
2. Yield Risk: High yield competition among protocols could dilute staking rewards.
Restaking offers a way to maximize staking rewards and protocol security, but it comes with its own set of risks, particularly around yield and centralization.
NB: The acronym LRP, I coined, for TradiFi, for conveyance of the same idea as it runs, starting with DeFi.
In the next post, I'll talk more about LRT and what it entails. In anticipation, give a like and share this post like doughnut 🍩 is shared with frens 😉!
Those who will celebrate in the bullrun are already positioning now. Many people are in fear now, and would have more reasons to fear pre-bullrun. You only have one assignment - to take position and ignore the noise.
1/ Do you want to make a lot of money in Crypto? Everyone wants to make a lot of money in crypto!
But to make a lot of money, you need just one thing, and it is very important: lot of money!
'lot of money' is relative, however, people come across the money they invest into crypto via several means. The most common is - Jobs.
1) These jobs can be conventional
2) The other is via crypto/web3 related jobs. This may include services rendered for crypto projects. You get paid for your freelance.
3) Gifts: you could get gifts from 'frens' & families to start your crypto investment. When & if this comes to play, be sure you're given a long leash. Success isn't overnight. Okay, back up. Success can come overnight, however you can't bank on being the next outlier.
How to Avoid Falling Victim to a Crypto Rugpull During this Bear
1. Research: Thoroughly research the project, its team, and its goals. Look for transparency, a clear use case, and genuine community engagement.
2. Team Information: Verify the team's identities and backgrounds. Check if they have experience in relevant industries.
3. Whitepaper: Read the project's whitepaper to understand its purpose, technology, and goals. Ensure it's well-written and comprehensive.
4. Transparency: Ensure the project provides regular updates, communicates openly, and shares progress reports.
5. Community Engagement: Active and genuine community engagement on social media platforms can be a positive sign.
6. Audit and Code: Check if the project's smart contracts have been audited by reputable firms. Review the code on public repositories if available.
7. Token Distribution: Be wary of projects where a significant portion of tokens are held by a small group, as this could lead to manipulation.
8. Liquidity Lock: Look for proof that the project's liquidity is locked, reducing the risk of a sudden price crash.
9. Gradual Development: Be cautious of projects that promise rapid and unrealistic development or returns.
10. Scarcity of Information: If there's a lack of information about the project or its team, it's a red flag.
11. Too Good to Be True: If an investment opportunity seems too good to be true, it probably is. Avoid projects that promise guaranteed profits.
12. Community Feedback: Seek opinions from the broader crypto community. Online forums can provide valuable insights.
13. Start Small: Invest a small amount initially to minimize potential losses.
14. Trust Your Instincts: If something doesn't feel right, it's better to step back and reconsider.
No investment is entirely risk-free, especially in the volatile world of cryptocurrencies. Stay vigilant and informed to reduce the likelihood of falling victim to a rugpull.
