So, first I want to preface this by saying my experience with DeFi in general is pretty limited. I haven’t used any of the major platforms like Uniswap or Sushiswap or any of these liquidity pool / token etc systems. And I don’t really have any desire to, mostly out of a lack of trust….

1mojo.trade is one man’s decentralized journey to riches
Chia Explorer developer Freddie has started a really incredible journey, and website called 1mojo.trade, reminiscent of the craigslist barter phenomenon that took off a couple decades ago with the paper clip to a house story. What he is trying to do is turn 1 mojo into 1 Million USDS (1 million dollars). This is a…
Peer to peer trades and USDS stablecoin coming to Chia
In a late night release, CoinDesk has let the CAT out of the bag as it relates to the new feature being announced today by Chia Network. It looks like the announcement will leverage offer files, as I and many others guessed, and will definitely involve Hashgreen as discussed yesterday. But there is also a…
Hashgreen gets a Chia Cultivation Grant
The developers at Hashgreen, the Chia development studio behind Mojodice and the Hashgreen DeX have announced that they have received a Chia Cultivation Grant for their work on the Hashgreen DeX (I presume). This is exciting news for the community. In a post on their website, one of the project co-founders, made this statement “The…
I made a Chia Asset Token using the Chives tools
This morning, with the help of Chives’ excellent instructions and a little bit of coffee, I minted my very own Chia Asset Token, or CAT. It was super easy, and I am very impressed that they were able to get this built and working as well it does as quickly as they did. Lets take…
A rebuttal to my Chia light wallet rant
Dan Perry and Roy Natian of Chia Network have just published a blog post on the official Chia blog explaining some of the issues I identified in my rant about the Chia light wallet, and detailing out their roadmap to fix others. It is worth the read if that rant resonated with you. I still don’t think…
Chia begins sending out Chia Holiday 2021 CATs
Just now on Keybase Chia Network has confirmed that the script that they are running to send out the Chia Holiday 2021 tokens that were promised to farmers who had won blocks last year is currently running. There have been a lot of questions about when these would go out, which is unfair. This all…
Arbor Wallet seems to have stopped working and disappeared
In what will probably end up as a warning bell to trusting centralized services in the Chia space, Arbor Wallet seems to have stopped connecting to the Digital Farming Initiative (DFI) central nodes. What this means is that for users who have the app installed, it does not do much. And for users who would…
HDDCoin is going live with the HODL program
A few weeks ago before the Christmas break HDDCoin began beta-testing their HODL lockup program. It performed really well, and seemed to be technically most done from my perspective. Well, then came holidays which I’m sure did not help their timelines, but now the program is ready to launch. They have fully documented the process…
There is a working Chia NFT marketplace on testnet – xch.gallery
Because of how slowly some of the projects we have all gotten excited about, as a Chia community, have taken to launch I have held this one close to my chest. But hot on the heels of the rest of the DeFi based announcements that have been coming xch.gallery has finally released their public roadmap…
