I usually don't repost soundbites from myself but I think this is important enough that everyone should hear it.

Today, we're launching the latest Security Alliance initiative, and it's going to change crypto security forever. It's called SEAL-ISAC, and this is why we need it

One small step for Ants, a giant leap for #DeFi

Tired of spending hours evaluating the ruggability of yet another protocol - who, like every other - pretends to care about decentralization?

You're not alone. This burns out the whole space, and most people cannot tell the…

🚨 Possum Labs is now entering Growth SZN 🚨

After alts got flushed, we´re finally getting ready for altseason.

That is, if Iran and Israel don´t start dropping nukes on everyone first.

Flight to safety in these times is real, BTC holding strong.

Holding that thought for more than 10 seconds gives profound insights to many things.

Value is a social construct.

Most protocols are not economically designed to align holders and users.

If a token extracts value from users, like most tokens do, it creates conflict of interest. Add governance and you'll get a centralisation nightmare / oligarchy.

As the launch of Portals v2 approaches, prepare for the big reveal of the first Possum Partner.

Any guesses? 🔍

💡 Hint: Their name hints at a famous Russian alcohol.

ENA is not a DeFi token. It’s a CeFi token of an unregulated Hedge Fund doing basis arbitrage.

As a basis arbitrager myself I am biased and am not happy about a a new 2 billion and growing competitor but here is my take:

Good examples why value extraction leads to misaligned incentives eventually.

It is mandatory to separate profit from protocol because value extraction is a centralizing factor that leads to more value extraction & control.

-> Conflict of interest between insiders and users.

The capital comes from everyday people, but money managers control it.

🔍 Interesting Fact: Managers profit from management fees regardless of asset performance.

This highlights the need for a better financial ecosystem.

In anticipation of our upcoming launch, it´s always good to check where we are and where we planned to be.

Conclusion: Ahead of schedule

Portals V2 is just a few weeks away with upfront yield for USDC, ETH, WBTC, ARB, LINK and better UX via Adapters!🚀

What many don´t understand about Ethena, is that the opposite can happen too.

Decentralisation, censorship resistance and immutability are not important.

...until they are.

Projects like Ethena Labs are centralised to their core. Your money can be gone in a heartbeat, or you need kyc to withdraw.

Tldr, they got you by the balls.

🎯 Community-centric DeFi = Positive Sum DeFi

Possum Labs was founded with a vision to establish a value-additive system that is net positive for DeFi. And for each of the people using the system.

Read more about our community-driven approach in this week's blog.

That's why we build immutable protocols. 🫡
