Christensen Balances New Sky Governance With User Choice Amid Freeze Function Debate

Sky, the DeFi protocol formerly known as MakerDAO, is under pressure from its community after co-founder Rune Christensen confirmed last month the protocol’s upcoming USDS stablecoin could feature a freeze function sometime in the future.  Although the function will not be enabled at launch on Sept. 18, the idea of including the mechanism has sparked concern about the centralization of Sky’s ecosystem.

Over $80 Million Stolen in Orbit Chain Exploit, Assets 'Remain Unmoved'

Cross-chain bridge project Orbit Chain was hit by a "cyberattack" Monday, with over $80 million drained from its bridge. The project stated that following "unidentified access" on Orbit Bridge, an attacker had taken and was holding $84.5 million worth of assets across multiple wallet addresses. The stolen funds total 26,741.6 ETH held across five addresses (worth around $64.5 million at current prices), with just under $20 million worth of the stablecoin DAI held in another three addresses.

DAI Finds Its Spark With Spark Lend

Decrypting DeFi is Decrypt's DeFi email newsletter. (art: Grant Kempster) Last week a Maker DAO cluster launched a new lending market. Think Aave, because, well, it is actually using much of the same code. And the term cluster here is intentional; the group of developers who built what is now called Spark Protocol were quite literally called the “Crimson Cluster.” Now, they’re called Phoenix Labs, and they’re led by protocol engineer Sam MacPherson. He told Decrypt that the key motor behind the...

How To Use DAI Stablecoin: Beginner's Guide (2021)

There are plenty of stable digital currencies available, but only one can claim to be widely used, decentralized, and trustless. In this article, we find out why DAI stands out from the rest of the stablecoin pack. Crypto with steady value isn’t new or rare. Tether has been around for years and is by far the largest stablecoin available. We also have stablecoins such as USDC, PAX, Gemini Coin, and Facebook's upcoming Diem (formerly Libra) all competing to be the stable cryptocurrency of choice,...

Ethereum-based Origin Dollar Hacked for Estimated $7 Million

"The team is all-hands on deck attempting to figure out what vulnerability was exploited and how the hacker was able to access users’ deposits," he wrote. Though the exact exploit—some form of flash attack—isn't yet known, the Origin team estimated $7 million—a combination of ETH and DAI stablecoin—had been taken.

Argentina’s New Dollar Tax Is a Boon for Cryptocurrency

Some countries promote a culture of saving, but for Argentinians, that’s becoming a nightmare.  Argentines’ recent tendency to hoard US dollars because of high inflation of the local currency has led the central bank to hit back. Hoarding dollars could have starved the government of dollar reserves within a year. So, yesterday, the central bank hardened measures to avoid this practice by imposing a new 35% tax on purchases made in dollars. Argentines, however, have already countered by buying u...

DeFi Money Market Adds Yield Farming Atop Interest Rewards

Another DeFi project has joined the great yield farming experiment of 2020. DeFi Money Market (DMM) announced today the introduction of yield farming-style rewards in addition to the 6.25% yields it already provides on stablecoin deposits. Yield farming allows users that provide liquidity to a DeFi protocol to earn interest on deposited assets. That means DMM users can soon stake the stablecoin-pegged tokens they receive for being liquidity providers to other decentralized exchanges, such as Uni...

Why blacklisting stablecoins could undermine DeFi

When the decentralized stablecoin, DAI was on its last legs amid the mid-March coronavirus market crash, its community elected to have a chunk of its peg to the US dollar collateralized by the centralized US dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDC. Now, Centre, the company behind the centralized US dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDC, has blacklisted an Ethereum address holding $100,000 worth of the token.  Suddenly, MakerDAO’s DAI doesn’t seem so decentralized.  “Imagine if some of the USDC is sitting in a M...
