PWN DAOCryptonatives: Jarrad Hope
When’s the last time that a conversation truly blew your mind? For us, it was the recent chat that we had with Jarrad Hope, Co-Founder and CEO of Status. Status is self-described as a tool that “brings the power of Ethereum into your pocket by combining a messenger, crypto-wallet, and Web3 browser”. Not only is there so much packed into its functionality, but there’s also a deeper purpose behind why Status was founded — it’s on a mission to protect individuals’ privacy, combat mass surveillan...
PWN DAOReputation Scores Are Coming to PWN: A Native Way to Know Your Peers
Forget KYC! PWN DAO is bringing you something better: rep! In today's DeFi world, you often only know a wallet address when leveraging the power of smart contracts to transact. But in peer-to-peer lending, understanding who your counterparty is can help you land better terms on both sides. Knowing that your peer has been active and maintains a solid on-chain history increases the likelihood of them staying true to their rep, like always repaying on time. That’s why we’ve created a reputa...
PWN DAO10 Years, Zero Downtime. Will we be there in the next 10?
So we’ve made it. Or have we? For the first time in human history, a technology has run non-stop for an entire decade. No resets. No scheduled maintenance. No single stall in 315,360,000 seconds of operation. That technology wasn’t a nuclear power plant. It wasn’t the banking system. It wasn’t Bitcoin either. It was Ethereum. Once again, Ethereum has redefined what’s possible. Of course, one can argue it’s easier to ensure uptime if "uptime" merely means at least one computer in the entire ne...

GM PWN Community!
We kicked off 2022 in the best way imaginable. The dust is still settling after we’ve launched the PWN platform on Ethereum mainnet last November, but I’m already seeing strong synergies within the PWN team as well as the amazing energy of our community and that is making me confident that we are headed towards building a true killer DeFi product. Here are some of the key highlights of the past month.
The homepage is now much more useful when it comes to discovering new investment and borrowing opportunities
We’ve introduced an overhauled notification system to help users stay on top what’s going on with their lending / borrowing positions
We’ve also made many more smaller changes based on the insights we gathered from our users, all designed to make the lending / borrowing experience the smoothest in all of DeFi
Our waitlist has grown to nearly 400 people with upwards of $2.5 million of assets ready to get deployed on the PWN lending markets
Go check the changes now! (If you don’t have the access key yet, then make sure you join the waitlist — we’re dropping new keys every week!)
Our R&D team continues in the direction of releasing our next version of contracts Soon™ (more on that here)
V1 PWN contracts will make the overall lending-borrowing journey infinitely smoother and — most importantly — even more gas-efficient
We’re going to talk more in detail about the features introduced through the V1 contracts as we get closer to the release
Why are we currently using the term ‘V1’, you ask? Even though we’re fully audited and successfully deployed on Ethereum mainnet, we still operate in a beta mode. Once we exit the beta and the PWN platform becomes fully open to the public, we’ll start using the 1.* version number.
We have hired two backend engineers with very unique skill sets who are going to be working on big things that we aim to introduce in Q2 2022. To say that I can’t wait to see the results of their work out in the wild would be a brutal understatement.
We also finally managed to bring Victor on board, who’s been advising us from the very beginning, as a full-time Operations Lead. Welcome to the party!
Make sure you stop by our next community call (Wednesday, January 9, 2022) on our Discord, in which you’ll get to meet all of them in person.
We’re currently raising funds to further extend the team (currently 19 strong) and to speed up the development of key features. If you’re an investor interested in learning more, feel free to reach out to me at steve@pwn.finance
Life hack of the month: Find out what your dragon name is (Stolen from last week's Morning Brew)
Last two letters of your first name
Middle two letters of your last name (if your last name has odd number of letters just pick whatever 2 letters you feel like are the middle ones)
First two letters of your mother’s first name
Last one letter of your father’s first name
And finally, please let us know what we can include in our community digests moving forward. Feel free to reach out to us on Twitter and/or Discord with suggestions, praise, questions, or anything else you have on your mind.
Have a fantastic February, everyone!
