Why DeFi > Banks for Borrowing Against Assets

Approval Process
- Borrowing against stocks: Apply & wait for approval
- Borrowing against crypto: 2 clicks

Borrow More 
- Stocks: 50% LTV max. $10,000 in stocks → borrow $5,000 max
- Crypto (ETH): Up to 80% LTV. $10,000 in ETH → borrow $8,000 max

Interest Rates
- Stocks: 11.375%-12.825% (Schwab), compounds daily
Crypto: 1.71% (cbBTC) 2.43% (ETH) 5.54% (USDC) (Aave/Base), compounds continuously

Flexibility
- Stocks: Rules on what you can & can't do with borrowed funds
- Crypto: No restrictions. Borrow for anything

Global Access
- Stocks: Limited to certain regions. Only 9-5
- Crypto: Available 24/7, anywhere in the world

This is it, and once you experience that in practice (via Aave), you will never look back

I couldn't find a way to DM you, so I'm making a post and hoping you see it.

I’ve been working on a Nextjs boilerplate that offers traditional authentication with embedded crypto wallets—something like a free, self-hosted Privy alternative. It is preconfigured with Base Sepolia and offers a fiat on/off ramp with improved UX.

Can you please connect me with builders and people inside Base so they can test it and give feedback?

Here’s the repo: https://github.com/nickolastazes/auth-by-watchen-preview

One part of L2 scaling is Ethereum increasing its blob capacity. The other part is rollups becoming more data-efficient. Good to see Starknet rising to the challenge.

Would love to see more EVM rollups increasing data efficiency too (see https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/10/17/futures2.html#3 )

Demand for Ethereum blobs is steadily increasing, surpassing the target blob rate.

We've introduced our first solution to this challenge: Starknet v0.13.3!

Blob gas on Starknet is now 5x cheaper; already live on Testnet and expected to go live on Mainnet this week. https://t.co/EUeyTrjcnv
