Have enjoyed the Aztec CCA sale. Bid a bit high I think, but didn't really understand the mechanism at first. Thought clearing would be linear, not 40% in the last day or whatever. This was not super clear to me.

Things I'd immediately change about TBA if I were building it: - Add notifications for posts (this engagement trigger is why I keep going back to Farcaster) - Allow me to turn off default "anyone can trade this worthless post" setting - Reduce the swap fee (I'm not gonna use this as a wallet if not) - Fix deep links (they never open my app when I click them) - Let me change my default wallet (every action requires me to unlock my password manager and then do two biometric actions for some reason)

Great research and explainer from the Alea team on how Size Credit works to offer capital efficient fixed-rate liquidity to DeFi.

The future is fixed. Fixed income, fixed cost of capital, term premiums, maturity-based products. Get familiar with this space.

This year I launched @rheo on @base.base.eth, a novel fixed-rate credit marketplace that lets anyone borrow/lend/trade credit for *any* maturity, while keeping liquidity unified. After launching ETH/USDC, cbBTC/USDC, cbETH/USDC, and VIRTUAL/USDC with @virtualsprotocol.eth, we are around $1 million in total available liquidity! I was inspired with the design by time spent thinking about yield curves, and wondering "why not build an order book lending protocol where every offer is expressed like a yield curve". I'm thankful to the Size team and the Base/Warpcast community for making this experiment a reality, and can't wait to see where things go in 2025! (have been working on some other Base projects as well but this is the major accomplishment of the year!).
