A lot of the core market logic infrastructure for Cade has moved offchain. This is something that the team has been working on for the last few months, and something we believe can 100x Cade, with respect to performance, experience, and reach. We slowly introduced elements of this to our tech stack during Meme Madness, the last tournament that we ran. During that tournament, you may have noticed that predictions were not actually moving testnet tokens from your wallet to the protocol. This tournament used a credit system. This was our first step towards testing the methodology that we planned on moving towards long term. Deposits and withdrawals will remain onchain for the foreseeable future however. The escrow provides 100% transparency into the Cade TVL, inflows & outflows, and value engine as detailed in our tokenomics. There's more to this that we will share soon in a more technical focused post, but we wanted to provide you with a few benefits for this approach: 1. Less dependencies and attack surfaces. We've seen billions of dollars enter the hands of the wrong people over the last few months. Much of what we do doesn't actually require funds to be rapidly moving between wallets and programs. The less exposed funds, the better. 2. A wider geographic launch for Cade. More users from more locations means more volume in the ecosystem and value engine. 3. A much more realtime experience for users. Offchain can move faster than onchain. This means many platform actions are processed near instantly. Cade on.
