Key Benefits of Extended and Starknet DeFi Integration - Enhanced capital efficiency allows users to earn yield while trading and holding perp positions [2] - Migration of idle USDC from exchanges to Extended vaults is expected, leading to increased liquidity and improved execution [2] - Attracts traders from other perpetual exchanges due to the LP and trade integration [2] Extended Vault Mechanics - Users deposit USDC into the Extended vault, which employs advanced market-making strategies [1] - Vault generates fees, with an all-time APR of approximately 14% for LPs [1] - In return for USDC deposits, users receive XVS, a tokenized share of the vault [1] - XVS can be used as collateral to trade perpetuals [1] Flywheel Effect and Future Potential - Increased capital efficiency leads to more liquidity in the vault [4] - More liquidity results in better pricing for traders [4] - Better pricing attracts more traders [4] - More traders lead to better APR for LPs, further increasing liquidity [4] - Delta-neutral farmers are expected to increase deployment into Extended strategies, adding more liquidity and efficiency [3] - Potential for structures like 'Ethena 20' built around XVS collateral for delta-neutral strategies [3] - Integration of XVS across Starknet DeFi is anticipated [3]

Technology & Security Concerns - Centralized fraud detection systems are perceived as surveillance engines due to their reliance on hoarding user data for judgment [1] - The current system operates on a "guilty until proven innocent" premise, raising privacy concerns [1] - Existing systems are seen as invasive "dragnets" rather than mathematically valid systems [3] Proposed Solution: STARKs & Decentralization - STARKs offer an alternative where users run checks locally instead of shipping data to a centralized entity [2] - The inference pipeline shifts to the client, and the alerting service becomes a verifier [3] - Users generate a proof of compliance instead of submitting the actual data [4] - The proposed system aims to make centralized data storage obsolete [1] Benefits of the Proposed System - Validity is ensured mathematically, reducing the need for invasive data collection [3] - User privacy is enhanced as data is not shared with a central authority [4]
