DeFi market stumbles despite major advances in scaling ETH



More and more scaling solutions for Ethereum (ETH) want to secure part of the market for Decentralized Finance (DeFi). In addition to Polygon (MATIC), Arbitrum in particular has attracted attention in the past few days - which projects are using the scaling solution?

The DeFi market had to bleed again in the past few days. Compared to the previous week , Total Value Locked (TVL) fell from $ 113.28 billion to $ 104.41 billion at the time of going to press.

This means that the capital managed by DeFi protocols has shrunk by a total of 7.83 percent in the last seven days. In addition, the “ETF token” DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) has also lost 21.11 percent of its value this week. At press time, DPI is trading at $ 359.34.

Despite the poor price development of many DeFi tokens, a lot has happened this week. Especially projects dealing with Ethereum scaling solutions have made great strides.

Star investor Mark Cuban relies on Polygon (MATIC)

The Ethereum scaling solution polygon has achieved continuous growth in recent weeks and has also in strong price growth of MATIC reflected. In addition, DeFi heavyweights such as SushiSwap (SUSHI), Aave (AAVE), and Curve (CRV) rely on the scaling solution from Polygon. This allowed Polygon's TVL to jump from under $ 4 billion to $ 6.71 billion in the past 30 days.

But not only the DeFi projects seem to recognize the potential of the scaling solution, the billion-dollar US investor Mark Cuban has also been relying on Polygon since this week.


But despite the prominent supporter, Polygon is not yet perfect. After the ETH scaling solution team announced a new SDK developer kit on May 26th, a technical malfunction occurred a short time later. The Matic Bridge, which enables tokens to be transferred from the Ethereum blockchain to the Polygon sidechain, was impassable for a short time.

As a result, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal made it clear on Twitter that the problem was a software bug that was quickly fixed with a “hotfix”.

Another ETH scaling solution enters the DeFi market

Arbitrum is another scaling solution that could shake up the DeFi space in the next few months. In contrast to Polygon, the scaling does not rely on sidechains, but on so-called optimistic rollups. On May 28th, Arbitrum announced that it had opened its mainnet to developers. This meant that developers on Arbitrum's whitelist can now use the scaling solution. One of the names on the Wishlist is the decentralized exchange UniSwap (UNI).

Arbitrum appeared to appear overnight, but the project is already enjoying great popularity in the UniSwap community. An overwhelming majority of UNI-holders voted in a Governace decision that the decentralized market Arbitrum i in its V3 protocol should. In response to the vote, UniSwap inventor Hayden Adams also expressed his satisfaction on Twitter and announced that work was already being done to integrate Arbitrum into the V3 protocol of DEX. However, not only UniSwap relies on Arbitrum, the decentralized exchanges Bancor and SushiSwap are also planning an integration.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
