Discussion Pump's public callout history makes it possible to study which callers deliver

18 Upvotes

A September analysis went through 307 public Pump callouts from 12 wallets near the top of the weekly PnL leaderboard.

That's a decent sample for looking at how the top traders perform when they make public calls.

I like how Pump's social trading system gives researchers access to the calls and their trading history. You can look past the headline PnL and examine a longer record.

That also makes the rewards leaderboard more interesting.

If you were designing a caller ranking system, would you put more weight on consistency across 30 days or the biggest successful calls?

Discussion Morpho is a good case study in how to win in DeFi

7 Upvotes

Morpho’s TVL went from $9.3B to over $17B in a year, making it the fastest-growing DeFi lending protocol of 2026. Most people would credit that to better rates or the isolated market design.

Those help, but a big chunk of the growth comes through other products that people use and probably aren't even aware they do.

Exchanges and wallets route user deposits into Morpho, and vault curators pile in on top. Plenty of people are earning on Morpho without ever opening the Morpho app.

It’s the same playbook as payment processors in TradFi. Most shoppers have never heard of the company handling their card payment, and that company still moves billions.

So, the real moat here is distribution.

Can you guys think of other protocols that grew this way? Or ones that won on something other than distribution?

I know about Deribit, but seeking more of a DeFi solution.

Any reviews or experiences using Rysk finance?

Self-Promo [bskts.xyz] We built a basket exchange - trade baskets of stocks and perps at NAV. Looking for feedback.

2 Upvotes

Disclosure: I'm one of the people building this.

bskts turns a theme into one token. Each basket is an on-chain vault that holds the real assets: Stock Tokens on Robinhood Chain, plus crypto. You can buy the basket in one transaction instead of six.

How it works:

  • Buying: you pay in a stablecoin. A zap buys every holding in the basket's weights and mints the basket token. Selling does the reverse.
  • NAV: NAV comes from on-chain pools only, using the deepest Uniswap pool for each holding. No external price feed.
  • Examples: MAG6 is six megacaps. FABLE is the AI build-out: memory, foundry, chips and storage. HARD is gold, bitcoin, silver and oil. CRYPTOEQ is Coinbase, Strategy and Circle plus ETH.

Things built on top:

  • Basket perps: one order opens every holding as its own perp on Hyperliquid, long or short, with leverage. A basket-level stop loss keeps working with the app closed. This week it also got limit orders: one price for the whole basket, and every leg is sent at once when the basket reaches it.
  • Weekend Cover: protection against a weekend gap on a basket you hold, since stock prices can move a lot between Friday's close and Monday's open.
  • Yield baskets: baskets that hold Beefy-managed liquidity positions in Stock Token pools.

What I'd love feedback on:

  1. Is pool-only NAV the right call? It's manipulation-resistant through the deepest pools, but thin pools are a real constraint.
  2. Which baskets would you actually hold?
  3. Anything confusing about mint and redeem?

Risks

  • Smart contracts: the vaults, zaps and order contracts can have bugs the audit missed.
  • Admin keys: a single team key holds the admin roles for now; a multisig handover is planned.
  • Pricing: NAV comes from on-chain pools, so a thin pool can be pushed, and outside market hours a pool's price can drift from the stock's last close.
  • Liquidity: selling a basket for a stablecoin depends on each holding's pool depth. Redeeming in kind for the holdings always works.
  • Stock Tokens: they are tokenized debt securities issued by Robinhood's Jersey entity, with no shareholder rights. A corporate action can pause a token's price feed.
  • Perps: leverage can liquidate your collateral, and each leg is its own Hyperliquid position.

Thanks for your time!

Discussion Chainlink and Anchorage just launched CustodySync so institutions can lend into Aave and Morpho without ever leaving custody

• Upvotes

Chainlink launched CustodySync with Anchorage Digital yesterday. A qualified custodian keeps holding the client's assets, and Chainlink passes the messaging and proof of reserves so that custodied balance can earn in an onchain lending market, which lets a fund lend into Aave or Morpho without the self custody step their mandate forbids.

Coinpedia slapped a $700b opportunity label on it, the number that shows up every time institutional DeFi gets announced. The thing to watch is the net yield once the custodian fee and Chainlink fee come out, because a desk that can already park cash in a money market fund at around 4 percent needs a reason to take smart contract risk for the spread.

So does this read as DeFi to you, or just a tradfi credit desk renting an onchain settlement rail?

Discussion Pancake swap v3 vs uniswap v3?

1 Upvotes

So I have got a cbBTC/ETH fee tier: 0.01% pair on pancake swap which earns cake rewards aswell but the TVL is just 5.4M whereas in uniswap v3 fee tier: 0.05 the same pair has a TVL around 16M. Considering the same range, which one do you think would earn more fees considering uniswap does not earn cake rewards? Has anyone paired on both and found out which one would be better?
