RT Ignas | DeFi (@DefiIgnas)Five crypto things I want to figure out:- Is Nexo exposed to private credit, or are all their loans overcollateralized? Their rates feel too good for pure overcollateralized lending.- If I use privacy protocols, do my wallets get flagged by Chainalysis? This matters because Source of Funds and Proof of Wealth audits usually rely on Chainalysis data. If flagged, I won't use them.- Will Polymarket & Kalshi launch tokens, or go the IPO route?

⚡️ LATEST: Vitalik calls for rethinking democratic tools like DAOs and ZK-based voting amid a global "authoritarian wave", arguing AI can now make them more effective than ever. https://t.co/N41zn99h6E ...

One thing that it is worth re-thinking is our perspective on when, and how, it makes sense to build "democratic things". This includes:* DAOs and voting mechanisms in DAOs* Quadratic and other funding gadgets* ZKpassport voting use cases, incl freedomtool type stuff, incl attempts to deploy it for local governance, etc* Voting systems inside social media* Attempts at "let's build and push for a brighter and freer political system for my country"Lately I am getting the feeling that there is less enthusiasm a ...

Vitalik Buterin published a post stating that the core issue of current decentralized governance (such as DAOs) lies in the scarcity of human attention, while traditional mechanisms tend to lead to the concentration of power. To this end, he proposed utilizing personal Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve this problem. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of privacy in these mechanisms. https://t.co/tzhtzcFJK2 ...

"AI becomes the government" is dystopian: it leads to slop when AI is weak, and is doom-maximizing once AI becomes strong. But AI used well can be empowering, and push the frontier of democratic / decentralized modes of governance.The core problem with democratic / decentralized modes of governance (including DAOs on ethereum) is limits to human attention: there are many thousands of decisions to make, involving many domains of expertise, and most people don't have the time or skill to be experts in even on ...

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested enhancing creator coins by combining prediction markets with DAOs. In the model, markets bet on creator coins joining themed DAOs capped at 200 members, with anonymous voting and partial revenue used for token burns. The approach shifts value from celebrity-driven speculation to DAO-based curation, using prediction markets for discovery and DAOs for intrinsic incentives. https://t.co/qF36ZHmqRw ...
