0/ I'm often asked: how do you keep up with DeFi when it moves so fast? My response: if you focus on learning a handful of core concepts, you'll be 80% there with 20% of the effort. 🧵The first 5 concepts you should learn in DeFi 🧵

0/ Many successful heists in DeFi and Web3 have nothing to do with bugs in the code. If you want to be safe, you need to understand all the ways in which a protocol can be attacked. 🧵Here are 9 attack patterns in DeFi that everyone should know

I did some more math. ETH has better economic SoV properties that gold. Annual net supply increase is way lower (0.05% vs 1.34%) Annual % consumed is higher (0.63% vs 0.16%) ETH is already better than gold. The people just need to know.

If ETH becomes a digital store of value, it could reach 2T-20T like silver or gold. If ETH becomes oil, it could reach 4T like oil reserves held today. If ETH becomes money, it could reach 20T like USD M1 supply. If ETH becomes all these things at once, then who knows.

Trends in DeFi I'm paying attention to: 1) Convergence of lending markets: @aave, @MorphoLabs, @SiloFinance, @eulerfinance, @kamino, Fraxlend, etc. Feature sets are converging. Looping is everywhere. Going forward its about use cases, partnerships, and ecosystems. 2)

People talking like Ethereum died or something but really not sure what they're freaked out about. Since the cycle bottom, Eth has picked up ~50B in TVL which is three entire Solanas of TVL and 14 Bases. Ethereum also dominates in stablecoin issuance. Yes maybe the EF can
