Eggg yolk, what is cracking with the army
in the Chico barracks, but if you're new around
[12]
these parts, youâre just a viewer of the
tube.
[15]
My name is Tyler, and welcome to the crypto
channel that won't trick you when itâs time
[19]
to serve you up some content, unlike this
cat owner.
[22]
Donât you
be sad, cuz itâs time for Chico Crypto!
[36]
DeFi, decentralized finance.
[39]
The buzzword of the bull run.
[41]
Crypto tokens which cater to this blossoming
sector are the ones pulling a majority of
[46]
the crypto gains.
[47]
Iâve seen it, Iâm sure youâve seen it.
[49]
But just like I called DeFi popping of the
next bull run long before it happened, I would
[54]
like to make a prediction of the sectors which
will secure the next wave of the gains, and
[59]
continue the DeFi run, as each sector pushes
decentralized finance into itâs next more
[65]
evolved form, which means its usable by millions
of people & integrates with the non-blockchain
[71]
world.
[72]
So to begin, letâs just get it out there.
[73]
The two sector, I believe are going to secure
eyes of people far & wide...include scaling
[78]
solutions, layer 2 & NFTs, non fungible tokens.
[82]
If you watched my video on Friday, I went
over the reddit scaling bake off, which included
[87]
many of the scaling coins and solutions.
[89]
My prediction pick for the winner?
[92]
Itâs xdai and their stablechain.
[94]
And that leads me right into something.
[96]
Like I said, this is what evolves defi into
itâs next more advanced form.
[101]
Scaling DeFi, and thus Ethereum is the biggest
issue I see in the markets.
[106]
And some projects know this, and are already
building on a scaling solution...with some
[111]
ready to launch.
[112]
One Iâm getting excited for is Powerpool...as
they are building the layer2, fast and scalable
[118]
DeFi pooling governance protocol.
[120]
Their token, the powerpool CVP token, is a
meta DeFi governance token, which means it
[126]
pools and integrates the power and varying
governance mechanics of various protocols
[130]
into one ecosystem.
[133]
Like Compound, Maker, Synthetic, Aave, Compound,
Akropolis, YFi & Balancer.
[139]
The CVP tokens most essential function is
to define how to use the utility functions
[144]
and voting powers of the tokens, accumulated
in the PowerPools.
[148]
You can almost think of it, as the compound
of governance tokens...as if you go to their
[153]
alpha, which is in test mode right now, itâs
a place to borrow, lend, and thus pool your
[158]
governance tokensâŠ.but as you can see, by
default it takes us to a certain blockchainâŠ.xdai
[164]
Now, if we click into the other networks they
are building with...we can see itâs two...of
[170]
course Ethereum, but also Matic, the number
2 runner up I had for the scaling competition.
[175]
Now, if we go back in time, the power pool
team had an AMA just 2 weeks ago, August 17th.
[181]
They were asked âWhy not choose an xDai
or any other network?â
[185]
They responded âThatâs a good question.
[187]
Matic is the perfect network for the start:
very similar to Ethereum, its capitalization
[192]
is 5â7 times bigger than xDai, good amount
of support from their side.
[197]
PowerPool is a community-driven project, if
our community votes to migrate to any other
[201]
sidechain in future, it wouldnât be a problemâ
[204]
So, they were going fully with Matic back
then, as just 3 days before this August 14th,
[209]
a partnership announcement was made...well
August 26th, just 6 days ago they put out
[216]
an article explaining the future of powerpool,
and the longterm vision...in it they said
[221]
this âOur vision for tech implementation
of the protocol serving as a Meta-governance
[226]
level for the ecosystem is the following:
the protocol will operate on a set of networks
[231]
(Ethereum mainnet, xDAI, Matic, Binance Chain)
offering services for the different target
[237]
groups of customers.
[238]
For example, Matic and xDAI were chosen to
solve the gas problem for the minority token
[243]
holders which are one of our target groups
of usersâ
[246]
So, xdai is now in the mix, when just 2.5
weeks ago it wasnât, and was only Matic
[252]
they were using.
[253]
And lower in the article they said this about
the beta test round âIn the coming days,
[258]
we will launch the Beta round of the testnet.
[261]
During the Beta round, all basic protocol
functions will be tested by 100 selected participants
[266]
in the xDAI chainâ
[269]
Alpha to Beta, itâs being tested with xDai...which
is further reinforced from their Beta testing
[274]
article, it says âThe task for Beta testers
will be to examine our protocol thatâs been
[280]
launched on top of the xDAI second-layer network,
using real ERC20 tokens from the Ethereum
[286]
mainnet which includes testing of the mediator
smart contracts, their parameters and UI/UX
[291]
for transferring tokens between the Ethereum
mainnet and xDAI network.
[296]
And then just last friday, the powerpool twitter
retweeted this âxDAI working its magic with
[302]
@powerpoolcvpâ...which was someone retweeting
their tweet.
[307]
What was powerpools tweet.
[308]
It was about the performance of the test on
xdai.
[312]
Powerpool said âCrazy gas costs?
[314]
Never heard of that #PowerPool Layer 2 DeFi.
[318]
50 testers saved about $2,500.
[321]
How much will 100k users save?
[323]
And they ended it with âTwo steps away from
the mainnetâ
[327]
So CVP, the token of powerpool is layer 2
DeFi, and that layer being fully tested, and
[332]
prepared for the mainnet, is the xdai stablechain.
[337]
And projects far and wide, are looking to
xdai for help and that actually leads me into
[342]
the next Sector...NFTs.
[345]
Now the gaming sector, is where you 1st think
of NFTs right?
[349]
Gaming collectibles, wearables, Skins & more?
[352]
Well one of the leaders, in the virtual space
Cryptovoxels, tweeted this, on August 22nd.
[358]
Hey fam, our wearables are trapped on the
mainnet due to extreme gas situation.
[364]
Please send help.
[365]
Can someone magic us up a XDAI gateway where
we can send lots of wearables (eg 30 issues
[370]
of wearable #123) to the XDAI network with
one Eth txn?
[376]
Nice to see that, in the gaming and virtual
land sector, but NFTs are not going to be
[380]
limited to items in the digital world, they
will become digital representations of physical
[386]
items too.
[387]
Now, I need you guys to realize something.
[391]
Just like when I called DeFi being the next
bubbling, buzzword which will surge markets
[395]
next...it took about a year for the markets
to catch on & for it to happen.
[399]
I donât see it taking as long with NFTs,
but we are still some time out.
[404]
I brought up a project, who is on the forefront
of this, in a scalable form, with full Ethereum
[410]
compatibility.
[411]
That is Lukso, from Fabian Vogesteller, the
creator of the erc20 token standardâŠ.his
[421]
project is attempting to bridge the gap of
NFTs and physical items, with a custom scalable
[426]
blockchain & robust application layer, which
allows funding of creator projects, tracing
[431]
of creators items, management of those items,
ownership of both physical and digital items,
[438]
and thus collecting apps, participating app,
share apps, trade apps & co creation
[442]
Now, we are focusing on the bridge of physical
items into the NFT world...and diving into
[450]
Luksoâs whitepaper, they call this phygital
ownership.
[453]
From the whitepaper âWe achieve unique authentication
through passive NFC chips that are implanted
[459]
or sewn into products.
[461]
And these are built out in the wild as we
speak.
[464]
And actually being implemented...so, at Berlin
Fashion week, Lukso showed off one of the
[469]
first t-shirts, with the entire batch of technology
baked in and then some.
[475]
Berlin Fashion week covered it with an article
titled âLUKSO BRINGS "PHYGITAL" T-SHIRTS
[480]
TO BERLIN FASHION WEEKâ
[481]
The article states âREDEFINITION THANKS
TO BLOCKCHAINâ The Ăko Nomi T-shirt collection,
[487]
limited to 50 items, is also absolutely forgery-proof
thanks to blockÂchain.
[493]
This is made possible by RFID chips based
on cryptographic processes with which they
[498]
can be authenticatedâ
[499]
So, Berlin Fashion week covering it is a good
sign, but seeing it put on in the wild, by
[504]
multiple models being introduced to blockchain
for the 1st time, is an even better sign.
[510]
Now you notice how the shirt is glowing and
all that?
[513]
Well that is because the shirts also implement
AR, where different designs are seen when
[518]
looking through a phone's camera.
[519]
Now, the thing I would like to point out,
is Luksoâs blockchain explorer...for their
[524]
L14 testnet, does it look similar to someone
elses...xdais?
[529]
That is because itâs from blockscout, AKA
xdai and the POA team.
[534]
Now if we go to the LUKSO, FAQ, on their consensus
algorithm, they say this âLUKSO is planned
[540]
to use a HoneyBadger Byzantine Fault Tolerant
(HBBFT) consensus algorithm with a delegated
[546]
Proof of Stake consensus running in smart
contracts (PosDAO).
[549]
Now is that similar to someone?
[553]
Well xdai, created the posDAO algorithm, the
whitepaper written by the team is on the xdai
[559]
gitbook & it says âxDai will transition
to public POSDAO in the coming months, where
[565]
community members can become validator candidates
as well as delegate STAKE to candidates and
[569]
validators.
[570]
HmmmmâŠ.what about HoneyBadger BFT?
[574]
Well xdai is working on that too, as we can
see itâs also listed on their gitbook, and
[580]
they say âThe xDai team is currently working
on a working implementation of HoneyBadger
[585]
BFT consensus.
[587]
This may be implemented on the xDai chain
(determined through the governance process)
[591]
and explored in Phase 3 of the POSDAO staking
roadmapâ
[594]
So obviously, the two are connected on a level
that does deeper than what you see on the
[599]
surface.
[600]
Which if you go to their roadmap, the last
thing they have listed is phase 3 of posDAO
[604]
with a target date launch of q2 2021... and
as we can see they say this âA chain created
[610]
specifically to leverage POSDAO, HoneyBadger
BFT and Multi-Collateral DAI.
[616]
This network will be designed from the ground
up with our collaborative partners LUKSO and
[620]
ARTIS to leverage STAKE tokens and HBBFT consensus.
[624]
So, leverage Stake tokens, Lukso & artis?
[628]
What does this mean?
[630]
Well it goes back to xdaiâs feature, of
multichain staking which means xdaiâs STAKE
[635]
token can be used to secure and earn rewards
for ANY side-chain under POSDAO & It can also
[642]
be staked on other blockchains like Lukso...but
it can also, right now be staked on Ethereum.
[647]
Igor of the team said this back in June of
this year âyou are right, staking tokens
[652]
is intended to be used on sidechains with
posDAO for horizontal scalability, but practically
[658]
it can be staked on networks with other consensuses
too.
[662]
Example, a work in progress for staking on
Ethereum.
[667]
And that WIP, is complete.
[670]
You can Stake your Stake right now on Ethereum,
itâs called easy staking...it built & on
[676]
the mainnet.
[677]
All you have to do is connect to the staking
application, have some xdai stake and ethereum
[683]
in your wallet for fees, and your good to
go.
[686]
Once connected, to stake just enter the amount
you wanât to commit, we will be doing 100.
[691]
Click depositâŠ.wait for the transaction,
to confirm.
[695]
Once confirmed, you will see your stake on
the dashboard, and can dive into the details
[699]
of it, including real updates of your rewards
accrued, and you have the option for free
[704]
scheduled withdrawals, or instant withdrawal
form staking with fee.
[708]
So, whaddaya gonna go?
[710]
Well just like Ferris Buellers Day, off...Stake
it up baby now, stake it up babyâŠ.cheers
[715]
viewers Iâll see you next time!
