@degenRobot wyr?

FYI i decided to leave @risechain at the end of Q1. haven't posted about it as i was completely burnt out after 18 months there & needed to touch grass. was the first time i’d been that cooked w terrible sleep patterns, bunch of weight gained & lost all excitement for work. re health, got bloods done after leaving. turns out i had very low Vitamin D, been making sure to spend at least 30 mins out in the sun a day which has made a huge difference. also start jabbing various 中国 peptides & down ~15kg w the fat still melting off w some other benefits. outside of health things also been going down the AI rabbit hole. one fun project has been building an org-wide agentic harness for a 40 person startup. a few people in their team were already flying with their own agentic setups with custom skills/automations. others were still using vanilla Claude set up & not getting much value from AI. at an org level personal agents are great individually but they don’t scale & nothing compounds across the org. to help solve this we build one shared harness, users can interact via Slack or MCP & get access to deep context, tools & agents. rolling out to their team now, and it’s already saving days on a number of cross-team workflows. (will post case study soon) been keeping an eye on RISE, awesome to see how far they’ve come. with RISEx ( & some of the things I helped build) doing over $6B cumulative perp volume and roughly $90M a day. s/o @sam_battenally @hai_rise & team for smashing it. still think native CLOBs on the EVM are extremely bullish as the potential unlock a new wave of money legos is huge. currently still unemployed but in no rush to commit to anything & somewhat tempted to run back 2021, go founder mode & start something new. if you've got interesting ideas in DeFi or AI, down to chat.

The vision I have for RISE is a thriving financial hub with RISEx as the core engine. The trading engine with a symboitic relationship with the ecosystem apps. RISEx brings the users, lending markets make porfolio margin and spot market making possible, AMMs offer the liquidation backstop for lending, structured basis products attract LPs and stabilise funding rates, while builder codes bring flow and leverage liquidity. That’s where we’re headed. Today marks the MVP launch for the first wave of RISE apps. These apps have been quietly building in the background and are ready to welcome their first users. Please jump in, test them out and give them feedback. They’re all great builders eager to build something special. You’re a DeFi enthusiast eager to explore? Here's what you can do: 1. Bridge in through the RISE Portal 2. Jump into @Icarus_Fi and @heliosdottrade, LP in to ETH/USDC, XLP/USDR, USDC/USDR, etc 3. Check out RISEx, deploy in to XLP, trade some perps 4. Basis trade: Buy ETH on @Icarus_Fi, Short ETH on RISEx 5. Let @ShiftProtocol_ do the heavy lifting for you with their basis vault. 6.

ngl the org harness thingy could be a good play would love to hear more about it

Announcing Centaur 2.0! Centaur is frontier, agentic infrastructure that you own. Centaur is like Claude Tag, but open source and on steroids. Centaur 2.0 can connect to everything you have access to, and can reason over it next to where you work, either in Slack, Discord, Teams or in your local Codex or Claude Code via an MCP. But context isn't useful if it can be accessed by anyone, so we rebuilt Centaur from the ground up for security. Centaur obviously doesn't have access to secrets because we're leveraging egress proxies. Centaur 2.0 takes that a step further enabling administrators to configure who can access what from where. This means that Centaur can have access to private information that you normally wouldn't feel comfortable giving it access to (e.g. DMs or sensitive channels and docs) but only expose it to authorized principals. It also means you can add Centaur to external channels and leverage it as a virtual colleague that doesn't live only in your Slack, for example, but also your Slack Connect channels! This is extremely powerful as we start moving to a world where agents cross organizational boundaries. Also in case anyone's wondering, yes we rewrote it in Rust! Centaur is now way way more stable at durably executing threads, and its workflow engine is now based on Absurd. We have been operating Centaur since January, officially launched and Open Sourced it in May, and now we're full speed towards making it the #1 open source agentic infrastructure. To succeed at that, I'm thrilled to welcome @mslipper to the @paradigm team who will be leading all our Applied AI work, while continuing to maintain and extend Iron Proxy as the leading secure secret access for agents. Welcome Matt, it's an honor after all these years of knowing you! Read the full blogpost below, and apply to join our team!

crazy to discover current founders also behind obscure protocols i used cycles ago this was OG fantom defi tech; thought this was dope as fuck leveraged pool2 yield farming where you only had to deposit 1 base asset. the secondary token would be borrowed from a lending protocol (C.R.E.A.M. if yall remember) if you remember RoboVault you're a ball knower and you have my respect @Ceazor7 had a video on them here: youtube.com/watch?v=Zv0eT5uy… (6k TVL at the time)
