Decentralized finance or DeFi are those financial services that are provided through decentralized platforms, i.e. not controlled or managed by any single entity, but by a public and open IT protocol. DeFi platform proves to be a promising revolution in the blockchain space that can ultimately lead towards wider adoption.

DeFi is to finances what cryptocurrencies are to money. It brings…

Relayer Report #13 — Interview with Augur’s Joey Krug and Governance Experiments

The latest updates from the 0x ecosystem: November 2nd, 2018

Sign up for Relayer Report  and how they’ll go down over time. Of the fees you mention in the article (fiat onramp, gas, volatility, market creator), which ones do you think will be the easiest to fix? Hardest?

J: On-ramp + volatility + creator fees will be the easiest, all fixable within the year. Gas costs and slowness of blockchains in general will take the longest.

R: What are you looking forward to in Augur V2?

J: Dai support mainly! As well as better UX that involves not needing to sync an app for hours haha.

Governance, Governance, Governance

Will and Peter presented “Building Self-Sustaining Ecosystems Through Governance” at DevCon. Our first governance experiment will be an elected committee of ZRX stakeholders who can decide where to allocate community funds. It’s important to note two things:

This is an experiment (on a highly experimental technology that is built on top of another piece of highly experimental technology)

The end goal is to decentralize power in the network and give ZRX stakeholders influence over how the protocol upgrades over time

Reading through this deck I was reminded of a picture from Chris Dixon’s article “Why Decentralization Matters”:

This S-curve has been the standard mode of operation for tech companies, but the 0x vision is to invert this, giving more and more power to stakeholders over time.

Ecosystem

LedgerDex (Matt):

We have started supporting the EIP712 standard for typed message signing. Now when users use MetaMask to sign a new order, they will see the order details showing up on MetaMask

To prepare for MetaMask’s upcoming security upgrade (which will stop automatic injecting of Web3), we have updated our web app so that users can still use MetaMask smoothly after the change happens

We broke our record in daily trading volume: traded token value equivalent to USD $59,000 in a single day

DDEX (Diane):

Wallet connect feature in development: connecting desktop DDEX to mobile Wallets using end-to-end encryption by scanning a QR code

DDEX Wallet (iOS, Android) selective test for recovery words feature in development

DDEX assists in the launch of WBTC (Wrapped Bitcoin Tokens) for bringing Bitcoin to Ethereum

Radar Relay (Beatrice):

sETH has arrived Radar Relay, read more about it on our educational site http://shorttokens.io

DNN token is now on Radar Relay

The market order handler has been updated and is now denominated in the quote token rather than the base token, take a look before you place your next order

STAR BIT (James):

STAR BIT EX 3.0 version and new homepage released with UI/UX renovated: STAR BIT EX

Support EIP-712 and we could check order detail before signature

STAR BIT EX 3.0 is able to set the trading pair based on different token or coin, such as SBT, DAI, TUSD

Bamboo Relay (Josh):

Completed 0x v2 Standard Relayer API integration

Worked on a draft implementation of bZx Standard Relayer API — you can now programmatically lend and borrow ERC20 assets

Added logos, project details and links to each token pair with the view to enhance this further

Instex (Tim):

Completing implementation of the SRA v2

Testing relayer before beta launch

Paradex (Katie):

Our team is busy at Devcon4 this week in Prague!

Veil (Paul):

Revamped our data feeds infrastructure to automatically report on Augur markets and created a webpage to list and explore Veil supported data feeds

Launched the first version of a leaderboard and user profiles, including an activity feed and stats (see @pfhas an example). We think of this as an important first step towards social markets

Opened up Veil’s alpha, so users not using a web3 wallet can still view the product without having to first log in. We also opened up registration — now anyone can use Veil on Kovan

OpenRelay (Greg):

We introduced OpenRelay in October 2017, and between from Flings(!) to MBGN Airdrops, and what a Massive first year it’s been

What is an Instrument Token? Find out the surprising answer in Greg’s debut post on our official blog

OpenRelay’s LitElement Widget Framework is now LIVE! (Follow the really long link to check out the interactive docs)

The Ocean (Monica):

We’re hard at work revamping all things The Ocean! If you’d like to help provide feedback or contribute to our developer portal, reach out to us at [email protected]

Our CEO, John, joined the Wyre team for their Wyre Talks podcast. Give it a listen to learn more about the infrastructural risk inherent in traditional finance and how cryptocurrency can be the solution

Gluon Plasma: A Plasma Variant for Non-custodial Exchanges (Bharath Rao):

A company called Leverj, dubbed the decentralized leverage exchange, released their white paper recently, with the idea of using plasma sidechains for a high speed, low latency decentralized exchange.

Dex Research (Gnosis):

This Gnosis spec goes over a new kind of DEX design that involves batch transactions and STARKS.

WBTC: A Community Effort to Bring Bitcoin to Ethereum (Loi Luu):

Introducing Wrapped BTC, a collaborative effort by Kyber, BitGo, and Republic (with DDEX and Radar Relay as launch partners, among others.) All WBTC is fully collateralized by BTC, with atomic swapping between WBTC and BTC. While still very early, great to see more experiments on the cross-chain side of things.

Cute Cats Power Serious $15 Million Funding for CryptoKitties Creators (CoinDesk):

Dapper Labs (creators of CryptoKitties) raised another $15 million in funding, bringing its total to nearly $30 million. These are some phat cats. dYdX also raised a $10 million Series A with some of the best investors in the space.

How I Learned to Start Analyzing and Stop Building Inscrutability (Philip Daian):

Philip from IC3 tears apart security in decentralized exchanges (among other things), pointing out problems in front running, cancellations, and gas costs.

Fun Stuff

I read a really interesting interview with early free software pioneer Richard Stallman.

If you know anything about you me, you know I love watching documentaries on YouTube. Check out Nosebleed about the world of high stakes poker, and The Smash Brothers about the competitive gaming scene of Super Smash Bros Melee.

A tale of car companies and short sellers getting squeezed — Elon would love this.

Much love,

Rahul
