If you’re a DeFi OG, you might remember what happened on November 26, 2020. Lenders on Compound got liquidated for a staggering $86 million after the Coinbase oracle was exploited, driving DAI price to $1.30. Old news? Think again. According to Chainanalysis, in 2022, DeFi protocols lost $403.2 million in 41 separate oracle manipulation attacks. Massive, right? Looking to mitigate oracle-related risks, more and more protocols are exploring oracle-free alternatives. Let’s dig in, shall we? But...

We are thrilled to announce that PWN has deployed to the Cronos blockchain! PWN deployment on Cronos brings a new use case to all projects that have so far lacked a lending protocol with the possibility of using Cronos-native NFTs as collateral. The entire network thus unlocks more volumes & total value locked for the ecosystem through the PWN platform. We are pumped to announce that our lending protocol expands use cases with its integration to Cronos and brings additional utility to the net...

PWN is chugging along on its multi-chain* journey and has just added Optimism, one of the fastest and most innovation-forward L2, to its network list. Permissionless, token-agnostic, and oracle-free, the PWN app is spearheading a new approach to peer-to-peer borrowing and lending. Joining the 190+ protocols already live on Optimism, PWN brings a whole new meaning to composability, opening new liquidity avenues for DeFi participants. And it comes with a flurry of perks:0 auto liquidation risk:...

The PWN app is now live on the Mantle Network, bringing the first oracle-free, multi-purpose P2P lending protocol to this fast growing ecosystem. As PWN is moving towards becoming a universal lending protocol, expanding to its 6th blockchain is a logical step to bring more DeFi possibilities to cryptonatives across the whole ecosystem.Why MantleMantle Network is a high-performance EVM and the first DAO-initiated L2 blockchain. The network is pioneering a vision of a decentralized, more collab...

And just like that… Another summer is almost gone. Was this one a good one for PWN? Well, it was indeed an onchain summer. What milestones has PWN accomplished during the last three months? Let's delve in. Bonding with the team June started just great, with a meeting in our beloved Prague. Did you know that it is just a little over a year since the team saw each other for the first time? And what is a better way to celebrate this little milestone than to close the team into a small room ...

The PWN app is now live on the Base blockchain, bringing a new era of accessibility and efficiency to the world of digital lending. This makes PWN accessible to more users with 5 deployed blockchains including Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Goerli testnet, Cronos, and now Base. Base is a secure, low-cost (10x cheaper than Ethereum), builder-friendly Ethereum L2 built to bring the next billion users onchain. PWN is joining the Base ecosystem as one of the few DeFi lending platforms. Why PWN deploy...

PintSwap carved a niche in the DEX landscape by introducing OTC and peer-to-peer trading mechanisms. Staying true to their positioning, they harnessed the power of PWN to provide new liquidity options for their community. Let’s discover how. The big picture For their TGE, PintSwap opted for NFTs: 1000, redeemable for 10% of the $PINT supply, were sold, netting the project 270 ETH. Off to a good start! Rather than hoarding their treasury, the team decided to put it to good use, helping their c...

AbstractThis report looks into the structure of user paid onchain fees including blockchain protocols such as Ethereum, BNB-Chain, Bitcoin and dApps or onchain protocols such as AAVE, OpenSea, etc. The goal of this report is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the economic demand for such services within this nascent and growing parallel economy we tend to call the Cryptonative economy. Importantly, the effort here seeks to uncover the true patterns of onchain service usage and real reve...

We sat down with Lefteris Karapetsas, a leading figure in the crypto space and creator of rotki, a privacy-focused portfolio tracker. Our discussion covered challenges for cryptonatives, his early involvement with Ethereum, the inception of rotki, views on privacy, and excitement for the future of DeFi and broad crypto adoption. PWN: Lefteris, could you share your perspective on what it means to be a cryptonative? LK: Cryptonative is a relatively new term. It defines individuals who deeply al...
