Follow Contango: @ContangoDigital [https://twitter.com/ContangoDigital] Follow Mike: @MikeGrantis [https://twitter.com/mikegrantis] Follow Don: @DonNorbury [https://x.com/DonNorbury] Follow Shrapnel: @playShrapnel [https://x.com/playSHRAPNEL] Shrapnel is the world's first blockchain based triple A first person shooter game. It's built on avalanche and represents really a step change in quality from anything we've seen in the blockchain gaming space today. The team behind shrapnel has led productions on games like Call of Duty, BioShock, Halo, Star Wars and much more. The team is also building an equally interesting infrastructure that makes games like shrapnel possible. It's currently codenamed Game Bridge, but by the sounds of it, it may drive some monumental shifts in our ability to produce composable and upgradable blockchain games. The shrapnel token trap just went live on a number of exchanges, and by the looks of it, the community engagement thus far has been just crazy.

#19 | Ethena: Creating a New Era in Stablecoin with USDe

Follow Contango: @ContangoDigital [https://twitter.com/ContangoDigital] Follow Mike: @MikeGrantis [https://twitter.com/mikegrantis] Follow Ethena: @Ethena_Labs [https://twitter.com/ethena_labs] Follow Conor: @ConorRyder [https://twitter.com/ConorRyder] Hey, everyone. I'm excited to share with you my conversation with Connor Ryder, head of research at Ethena Labs. Ethena is solving one of the most pressing issues in Defi right now. They're developing a decentralized yield bearing stablecoin backed by Ethereum liquid staking token derivatives. Unlike Fiat backed stablecoins like USDC and USDT with opaque reserves, 0% yield sharing and unhedged regulatory and censorship risk. USDe has 100% on chain auditable reserves with no inherent confiscation risk unlike over collateralized crypto native stablecoins like FRAX and DAI, USDe is capital efficient and offers yield from both Ethereum staking derivatives and exchange based arbitrage. The STABLECOIN is minted by opening up delta neutral positions through onboarding long lost reserves and shorting Ethereum Perpetuals with 1X leverage. This creates a fixed price asset with added benefits of Ethereum staking yields alongside short arbitrage yield. The emergence of this digitally native decentralized dollar unlocks the power of the Internet bond, creating a yield curve that can be used to create permissionless on-chain savings products. The project has just raised a 6.5 million seed round led by Dragonfly Capital
