Trouble in Defi Paradise: Compound-Issued DAI Surpasses DAI in Circulation

A number of cryptocurrency proponents have been discussing the stablecoin DAI this week, as the DAI allegedly held on the Compound platform is much larger than what is recorded in circulation.

At press time, Compound statistics show there’s $523 million worth of DAI held in reserves, while the web portal daistats.com shows there’s only 160 million DAI in circulation.

There seems to be another mystery in the world of decentralized finance (defi) again as the crypto community is now discussing the stablecoin DAI and the algorithmic money market protocol Compound.

Essentially, the Compound platform allows users to earn interest or borrow assets against collateral by leveraging a myriad of crypto assets. The platform is a well known tool and the stablecoin DAI is the most popular asset on the market today.

According to stats on the compound. finance markets detail page, there is $523 million worth of DAI held in reserves. In fact, the market overview of the compound.finance total supply is $1.3 billion to-date. That specific data metric includes all the tokens that are leveraged on the Compound platform.

However, looking at the website daistats.com shows there is only 160 million DAI in circulation. This has caused many defi proponents and the crypto community, in general, to start theorizing on why there is more DAI allegedly held in reserves on Compound, than what’s ostensibly minted in the real world.

A number of people on Twitter started making fun of defi projects and specifically criticized Compound, DAI, and Maker proponents. In the official Maker Chat governance channel, one individual said: “This whole thing is just a little frustrating — Compound is not being a good actor right now.”

Other’s discussed whether or not there is a major issue with farmers, farming yields, and market makers. Just recently, the Compound project introduced a new governance proposal that affected “yield farming.”

On Twitter, some people discussed an ostensible issuance loophole that could grow the DAI held on Compound infinitely, while others didn’t believe it was possible. “This doesn’t seem [like a] possible/error. I don’t believe you can borrow DAI against a collateral of DAI…can you?” an individual asked.

One person responded: “Yeah you can, check out Instadapp. You can do it easily via the [Compound Finance] UI if you buy cToken of w/e too.” Another person confirmed the fact that it is entirely possible to borrow DAI against a collateral of DAI.

Whatever the case may be, in the defi world there is trouble in paradise once again. In the Maker governance chat, some people thought that simply changing the interest rate lower on another stablecoin like USDC would solve the issues Compound is dealing with at the moment.

However, some people thought that a decision like that would be tricky and cause yield farmers to move to other assets. “I mean what is a few hundred million DAI backed by a few hundred million worth of cDAI between friends,” another individual discussing the DAI/Compound situation remarked.

A concerned individual on Twitter wrote: “DAI will skyrocket above peg – that means the debt value will increase accordingly, [and] that’s dangerous for my collateralization. Many farmers will get rekt on Compound.”

Have mymonero some problems ?

Hello, this is user pandher from BTCtalk. I have been a follower and holder of Monero since 2014 when the first bitmonero thread appeared on BTCtalk. Since that thread i knew Monero was the only one worth following. The professionalism and honesty of the dev team was a rare sight in that shitcoin madness. Checking the Monero reddit page and speculation thread had become a morning habit with me. I rarely missed reading both of these in these 2 years. I saw the community grow from a few hundred to a few thousand. It was so good to watch, to witness. Although i was mostly non vocal i felt myself as a part of this community. Reading AP's posts about the new world domination were exciting. But today i bid farewell to this wonderful community. All my Monero have been stolen Since zhalox posted about his lost Monero, i woke up from my slumber and created a cold wallet using GingerAle's paranoid method. Only to find out all my 4 MyMonero accounts were wiped on 3 september 2016. I...

Dove le molecole smettono di Urtarsi: viaggio nella coerenza Quantistica della Vita

C’era un momento, nella storia della biologia, in cui la vita veniva immaginata come un enorme tavolo da biliardo. Molecole che si urtano. Collisioni casuali. Reazioni che accadono perché, semplicemente, qualcosa colpisce qualcos’altro nel modo giusto. Funzionava. Più o meno. Poi, lentamente, qualcosa ha iniziato a incrinarsi. Non perché quella visione fosse sbagliata, ma perché era incompleta. Troppo rumorosa. Troppo cieca. Troppo… inefficiente per spiegare ciò che osservavamo davvero. Perché dentro le cellule accadevano cose strane. Troppo veloci. Troppo precise. Troppo coordinate. Come se, invece di urtarsi alla cieca, le particelle… sapessero. Immagina di entrare dentro una cellula. Non troverai caos. Non troverai disordine. Troverai elettroni che scorrono come una valuta invisibile, scambiata con una precisione che sfida l’intuizione. Non saltano semplicemente da una molecola all’altra: a volte attraversano barriere che, secondo la fisica classica, non dovrebbero poter...

Ingegneria del contesto per l'intelligenza artificiale avanzata

Quando si parla di IA generativa, il dibattito pubblico si concentra spesso su due aspetti: la potenza del modello e la qualità dei prompt. Tuttavia, tra questi due poli si trova un'area meno discussa ma cruciale: il contesto . Non stiamo parlando solo di "informazioni extra" per il modello, ma dell'architettura logica e operativa che determina il modo in cui l'intelligenza artificiale interpreta, collega e utilizza i dati per fornire risultati accurati e coerenti. È qui che entra in gioco l'ingegneria del contesto : l'arte (e la scienza) di progettare, organizzare e ottimizzare il contesto di un Large Language Model (LLM) per guidarlo verso risposte più affidabili, precise e utili. Perché l'ingegneria del contesto è importante Un LLM non "capisce" il mondo come gli esseri umani. Elabora modelli statistici in base agli input che riceve e ai dati di training. Il contesto è la combinazione di istruzioni, esempi, dati di supporto e rifer...
