- Development.
- Substrate, blockchain framework: https://substrate.dev/. Create chain, runtime, contracts, etc.
- Infura, another dev framework for eth: https://infura.io/.
- Alchemy is another. Node, api, observability tools, dev tools, monitoring. Supports more than just eth tho, covers layer 2s as well (polygon, optimism, arbitrum…). https://www.alchemy.com/
- And browser IDE for eth dev, remix: https://remix.ethereum.org/.
- Tinyman is an algorand dex: https://tinyman.org/.
- https://www.lootproject.com/. NFT bags of equipment. Gamey.
- Utility NFTs (non-art, non collectible) subdivide into 2 primaries: games and access. https://opensea.io/collection/utility.
- DexLab another very popular solana dex.
- Remember that running a sol validator means that you submit a vote to confirm every block. That vote/confirmation is a transaction. This can cost ~1 sol per day.
- Decent size (single-cost) hw requirements as well: https://docs.solana.com/running-validator/validator-reqs.
- Docker “not recommended and generally not supported” !
- Biconomy for transaction APIs: https://www.biconomy.io/.
- Chainlink is the most popular oracle network: https://chain.link/.
- Brave.
- Downloaded on windows and linux and mobile. Will evaluate for a week.
- Earn BAT (eth token) by allowing ads that brave curates. BAT = Basic Attention Token. 1 BAT is currently worth $0.82.
- You can also contribute/tip back to commonly used sites.
- Chromium based. (…)
- It can sync across devices.
- Offers a Brave wallet, but you must create it. If you have metamask/phantom/whatever, this doesn’t extend any new functionality. I didn’t create one.
- Even without a brave wallet, you automatically get an address that the BAT rewards are deposited to. But I don’t believe you can withdraw them until you link a Gemini account.
- Tested this e2e, worked. The gemini account allows you to aggregate rewards across devices, rather than accumulate separately. iOS is NOT supported right now, only desktop and android.
- Synced the usuals: bookmarks, search engines, settings, saved addresses/cards, extensions.
- Casting works fine; just enable Media Routing in brave.
- Right now Gemini has 8% APY on USDC (and UST).
- Plaid is the tool used to connect banks to exchanges like gemini/coinbase.
- Cleaned a few obsolete extensions (on all browsers).
- Upgraded expressvpn on all devices.
- Bought a mihigh infrared sauna blanket. Equinox only has a steam room and I don’t have the space to install a sauna at home.
- Been tracking individual shipments across ups/usps/fedex/amzn/etc apps, but the Shop app is a decent aggregator so far.
- I should probably create a faucet for Brian Coin: https://solscan.io/token/6hUBekzJqUybbKuBWKirjQuSvWTAb3LxxuAQVNVVnXJi.
- Cyberdice: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~fms27/papers/2008-StajanoCla-cyberdice.pdf.
- Markets (mostly prediction markets).
- Polymarket: https://polymarket.com/. Mostly binary, or a group of binaries (eg “by this date, by that date, by third date”). On polygon. Payout is linear by the market-set line.
- https://polymarket.com/blog/how-it-works.
- If the current line is $0.66 (66%), and you put $100 down, you get $150 if you hit the Yes and $300 if you hit the No. It’s twice as likely to hit the yes, since the current market is 66%. Just divide your total wager by the current line to get your winnings.
- These sorts of market-set validations provide a source of data onchain. Oracles bring trusted data from outside, but it’s enabling for truth to exist onchain already (and dynamically, as things change).
- Auger was the original (2018) prediction market on eth: https://www.augur.net/.
- https://medium.com/veil-blog/a-guide-to-augur-market-economics-16c66d956b6c.
- Many geographical regions ban prediction markets as betting, of course.
- Typically called “shares” for the output of your wagers. They’re tokens. They come in pairs and mint together. If you order a Miss for 30 cents, your order will not fill until another order is placed for a 70 cent Beat. Then when the binary market closes, the correct token is redeemable for usdc/eth/wbtc/whatever.
- Scalar markets when betting on a number scale instead of a binary. Usually just linear payout between an upper and a lower bound, rewarding closeness (difference between price and bounds, inverting if long or short).

- Remember Serum provides the order book, Raydium is the AMM on top of that: https://raydium.io/Raydium-Litepaper.pdf.
- Uniswap uses a constant-product formula, where Ra*Rb=k, reserves for the tokens being swapped.
- Serum plans to be cross-chain (although raydium isn’t yet).
- A difference between uniswap v3 and the priors: concentrated liquidity along that Ra*Rb=k curve. You don’t have to go 0 to inf, full range. You can provide liquidity in a finite price range of your choice.
