I stopped using Coingecko or Tradingview alerts to track ETH price pumps Now I just watch my automed carry trade lever up🤓 whenever it pings me on Slack or TG, I know ETH went up another 5% 🔥 (Yes, this is in-house KPK automation, for a vault to auto-compound your ETH LST of choice @ >5% APY)

Every allocation starts with the same question: What happens if we need to exit tomorrow? That’s the standard every asset has to meet before entering our book. Read the full case study with @ether_fi ↓
.@kpk_io has $200 million+ under management Here's why one of DeFi's most risk-averse allocators picked EtherFi for staking ↓ ether.fi/blog/why-kpk-made-w… Security is not a feature. It's the product.

We’re excited to announce that our proposal to establish a new @dYdX Treasury subDAO has passed on Mintscan! By aligning fees with growth, managing over $1B in non-custodial AUM and the total value of our partner treasuries exceeding $2.1B, and staking 40M DYDX to generate 4.8M USDC annually, we aim to diversify and solidify dYdX's treasury, setting a strong foundation for long-term sustainability and ecosystem expansion. Thank you to everyone in the dYdX community that supported our proposal—stay tuned for our next steps!

The dYdX treasury subDAO is a decisive win for the growth of the OG leader in perpetuals. It also further solidifies karpatkey’s position as the leader in on-chain financial services. Thank you, @dydxfoundation and the validators community, for your support and trust!

Great insights from last week’s discussion between the team at @LlamaRisk and our very own @sisyphos7919! 1️⃣ karpatkey, working closely with our partners, has been instrumental in driving GHO’s liquidity to $150M, not only by maintaining peg stability but also by incentivizing liquidity across various pools (e.g., Notional, Gearbox). Key efforts include managing GHO integrations, the coordination layer and de-risking through initiatives like stkGHO and GHO-stkGHO liquidity with @GnosisDAO. 2️⃣ The GHO credit line for GnosisDAO is a key upcoming initiative, which will further drive growth and efficiency for @Aave’s ecosystem. 3️⃣ karpatkey’s work goes beyond traditional asset management—we are deeply involved in shaping Aave’s long-term growth strategy, risk management, and ecosystem innovation.

We worked with @CoWSwap and @gnosischain to design and implement an incentive program for external solvers. After 24 weeks, what are the results? 🐮 The program has distributed 130k xDAI, 72% of the total budget 🐮 The total swap aggregation market on Gnosis Chain is above 65%, up from 50% when we started 🐮 External solvers' market share increased from 10% to over 80%, greatly increasing decentralisation Users now enjoy better prices & more efficient swaps. 🙌 Metrics based on @DuneAnalytics and @DefiLlama data.
