What is Concentrated Liquidity?
Blog iconGreg Patenaude
Jan 5
Uniswap V3 introduced the concept of concentrated liquidity in order to create capital efficient markets. Concentrated liquidity allows LPs to set the price range in which they would provide liquidity, so rather than their capital being spread thin across the entire constant price formula curve, it can be directed to a narrower range of prices where there is more market activity. Concentrated liquidity also makes capital more efficient by providing more fees to LPs as well as increasing marke...

Regenerative Dharma Network Whitepaper
IntroductionThis is a whitepaper for creating a regenerative Dharma network (DharmaDAO) that supports the flourishing of the Dharma in our world, with the primary positive externality being a decentralized network of conscious, global citizens working together to restore human dignity and build a culture of awakening. In this paper, first we explore the lessons of Buddhist history to locate ourselves in the present, developing a sense of where we have come from, and having a sense of the dire...

Ethereum Roadmap: The Verge
Designing for DecentralizationThe goal of the Ethereum Roadmap is to increase the scalability of the Ethereum network without sacrificing decentralization. While some parts of the roadmap like the Surge focus on scalability without sacrificing security, the Verge focuses on allowing more people and more nodes to participate in validating the blockchain. The Verge implements two technical upgrades: 1. Optimizing data storage by introducing Verkle trees 2. Extending decentralization through sta...

Layer Zero: Building the Global Economy of Blockchains
Layer Zero is an omni-chain interoperability protocol that is going to create a global crypto economy built on an interconnected web of blockchains. That seems like a bold statement. Let me share with you why I think this will be true. Our Current StateImagine a world where if you lived in New York City and wanted to buy the new BMW i4 eDrive40, you would need to fly to Germany, purchase the vehicle, and then you would have to ship it back to where you lived and worked. Nobody would do that. ...

Updating the DAO Operating System
This article was originally posted on BanklessDAO State of the DAOs newsletter on May 4, 2022.Your DAO Already Has an Operating SystemWe are all familiar with a computer operating system (OS), which is the interface between the user and the computer. A buggy or poorly designed operating system makes for a miserable user experience and renders an otherwise very powerful tool useless. Organizations have operating systems too. The organizational OS determines the way people work together within ...

Diving into Liquidity Pools
Liquidity pools are one of the core building blocks of decentralized finance. In order to work efficiently, exchanges need a pool of assets (liquidity) that facilitate trading two assets. Traditionally, this liquidity is provided by centralized exchanges using the order book model and a trusted intermediary. Decentralized exchanges (DEX) replace the order book model by using automated market makers (AMMs) which operate using smart contracts. Rather than executing trades by finding a trading p...

Building Regenerative Systems on Crypto Rails
Last week I introduced regenerative design and some of the key principles for building regenerative networks, protocols, and economies. https://twitter.com/0xSiddhearta/status/1549401388941299712?s=20&t=loWZZVzEBFnoTxIE0k2EEg This week, I want to explore how crypto values and Web3 tech can drive the adoption of regenerative systems. Right now we have a systems problem. As a society we are fighting the inertia of big business and the status quo of how things work. In order to change these syst...

You Are Not Sufficiently Bullish on BanklessDAO
This article was originally posted on BanklessDAO Weekly Rollup newsletter on May 6, 2022. BanklessDAO started one year ago with the gift of a spark. The gift was a fair launch distribution of BANK to the Bankless community; it sparked a movement around bankless values. The bankless movement is a collection of explorers and wayfinders, creators and builders, punks and misfits, on a shared journey of freedom and discovery. We are pilgrims with a purpose, with boots on the ground building a nat...

Crypto x Regenerative Design
Talk about regenerative cryptoeconomics is all the rage lately. Spend of few minutes scrolling through crypto Twitter and you will likely come across hashtags for #regen, #solarpunk, and a host of beautifully designed futuristic cityscapes. While the promise of a better, more sustainable future with happy humans and a healthy environment is a great motivator, if we want to create this future we need to start thinking about and designing systems that will enable this future. This starts with u...

Letter to a Young Practitioner.
Dear friend, It is a great joy and pleasure to see you so eagerly engage in the practice and the curiosity with which you inquire about the path. I implore you to never temper this curiosity and to always ask questions of your teachers and other Dharma practitioners whom you hold in high regard. I have little advice to offer save this- search inside yourself. Everyone around you is looking outwards, building up their image and their status. Our culture revolves around gain and loss. Our cultu...

Honoring Your Potential
What is your potential?Our culture views potential as a measure of excellence. It is something to live up to, reach or achieve. Our cultural view of potential is wrapped up in concepts of success, fame, power, and wealth. It is very goal or results oriented. The soft underbelly of viewing your potential in this way is that it is built on a subtle, and often unnoticed poverty mentality. Right now, you are not good enough, you can do more, you can do better. Our true value, our fulfilled value,...

Finding Freedom and Agency in DAOs
How Decentralizing Power Catalyzes Personal AutonomyThis article was originally posted on BanklessDAO State of the DAOs newsletter on March 23, 2022. Power dynamics are an implicit part of every organization and they affect the way we work together. Since the beginning of time, organizations have formed to create new products and solve interesting problems, but coordination is hard. Early organizations often used power coercively to control and manipulate others. Often, a central figure or sm...
