Building an Open Financial System with High Standards
summary
Claims that Kyber still handles 150–200M daily volume, that OptimX is a non-custodial Bitcoin↔Ethereum bridge, and a goal to unlock $1.6 trillion TVL on Bitcoin. Practical frameworks include on‑chain auditability, continuous audits plus bug bounties, no admin keys, and avoiding unsustainable token inflation. Examples: WBTC history, Polymarket resolution manipulation via UMA, capital‑efficiency focus for modern DeFi, and unresolved token launchpad design tradeoffs between investor protection and project funding.
