The Future of Decentralized Exchanges and Centralized Exchanges

Mon 25th Mar 2024
According to the news content, the future of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) lies in a few major protocols adopting a divide and conquer approach to liquidity and blockchain networks. These protocols will aggregate and route across each other from major wallets. The future of centralized exchanges (CEXs) is to wrap and run nodes from this 'meta protocol'. The news mentions that TC works with Chainflip, Maya_Protocol, and soon SeraiDEX, stating that it will be impossible to ignore and shut down. The ecosystem being built around TC, Chainflip, Maya, and application layer projects is described as the DEX play, with no other alternative for those wanting DEXs to surpass CEXs.

Decentralized vs Centralized Custodians for Bitcoin Borrowing

Thu 28th Mar 2024
The tweet discusses the risks involved when borrowing against Bitcoin. Users can choose between a centralized custodian, which carries the risk of asset seizure, or a decentralized custodian, which has protocol risk. The tweet argues that the decentralized option, being open and auditable, is easier to reason about compared to the unpredictable nature of potential asset seizures by centralized custodians. It expresses surprise that Bitcoin maximalists would prefer centralized custodians over decentralized ones, given these risks.

THORChain's TOR Mechanism Maintains Stable Peg for Nearly a Year

Mon 25th Mar 2024
THORChain, a decentralized liquidity protocol, has announced that its TOR (Treasury Overcollateralized Reserver) mechanism has successfully maintained a stable peg for its native asset against its liquidity pool for almost a year.

This achievement demonstrates the robustness and reliability of THORChain's innovative approach to maintaining price stability.
