The next step in the rsETH technical recovery plan has been completed with the restoration of WETH LTVs to their pre-incident levels across all affected networks. Users can now once again borrow against WETH on Aave, including through collateral and debt swaps.

Turnkey has a top-notch team and an ambitious vision for verifiable compute If you are looking for TEEs and other verifiable compute primitives, they are a leader on it and have developed the state of the art Excited for this milestone for them!

The latest market structure bill markup just dropped, and I want to highlight how important it is for DeFi. The Clarity Act is fundamental to giving DeFi developers the confidence to build in the US, backed by strong developer protections. If the US wants to lead in DeFi, the framework must preserve the ability to build and maintain decentralized protocols without imposing unworkable obligations on DeFi developers that are better suited for centralized models. If US succeeds, rest of the world will follow. The question of yield has always been largely irrelevant, in my humble opinion. Passage of the Clarity Act could create a similar tailwind for DeFi as the Genius Act did for stablecoins. That’s far more important than anything else: giving developers the clarity and confidence to build the future financial rails the world will rely on. I appreciate all the work the Senate Banking Committee members have done throughout this long process, and I encourage members to vote in favor of a bipartisan framework that developers can rely on. DeFi will win.

I'm hiring for a new associate role who will be working with me directly. If you are passionate about crypto and lending, work more than live and want an opportunity to massively accelerate your career, apply! Heads up: it won't be easy and NYC is preferred
