Hi folks โ we built a new product at @coinbase that lets you borrow USDC against Bitcoin, fully onchain and dead simple to use. We call this the DeFi mullet. CeFi in the front and DeFi in the back. This was a year long project with first principles thinking. โก๏ธ Doing an AMA through the weekend. Fire away questions or thoughts.

All onchain financial services out there, both in DeFi and otherwise. Think Lend, Trading, NFTs, Prediction Markets, etc. Canโt comment on whatโs next but you can imagine whatever useful and exciting innovation is happening, we are closely looking.

Good ser! We should chat soon ๐ https://warpcast.com/kdaniels.eth/0xf4dd6f5a Teller did $40m last year borrow side only, lending was hard to use, now lending is going to be traditional pools and defaults go to auction As a company we have been leaning into @base and ideally would drive the majority of our volume there. Mainnet is brutal for cost. Our full lending pools feature will be live next month and we would love to chat about how we could work together.

Itโs basically what ETHlend was before they pivoted to variable interest. We actually compliment all price oracle markets. Our biggest returning users are people with gigantic longs on Aave or compound, when the market dips they are in the @teller app within 10 mins using their alts to borrow usdc to save their long positions. Then when the market rebounds they repay and reborrow with variable. You cannot be liquidated on teller based on price volatility. The only way a borrower can default is if they do not repay their loan on time. Like options kind of. We have a widget integration for the borrow side and talking with @defisaver and and few others to hopefully implement
