👀 From the Beak
Warbler Labs contributed an analysis for the latest edition of the popular crypto newsletter OurNetwork, which covers undercollateralized lending and credit protocols (remember—all loans on Goldfinch are currently fully collateralized, but with off-chain assets instead of crypto). The analysis covers the protocol’s monthly revenue surpassing $200k, along with its borrowing volume and APYs holding steady despite the recent downturn, showcasing the long-term stability of bringing real-world lending to DeFi. Read it here.
Warbler Labs CEO and Goldfinch Co-Founder Mike Sall was featured on a panel at this week’s Graph Day, the annual conference hosted by The Graph network. The panel, which also featured speakers from Uniswap, Livepeer, The Defiant, Audius, and Connext Network, was focused on the topic of how protocols are reshaping the internet. You can watch the panel recording here at 5:42:52.
The recording is now live for the panel Warbler Labs Senior Credit Manager participated in early this year at Celo Connect, “The Future of Financial Credit.” You can now listen to Aaron discuss accessing sustainable liquidity for Borrowers, how DeFi can revolutionize Financial Credit, and more, on Celo’s YouTube.
📰 Goldfinch in the Media
Independent DeFi security ratings agency DeFiSafety, who last week updated their ratings to provide Goldfinch with an industry-leading score of 93%, published an overview of their new review on the protocol this week.
The thread notes Goldfinch’s explanation of how the protocol’s contracts operate via detailed software function documentation, and states that “Goldfinch has also set the industry standard for front running mitigation and flashloan attack counter-measure documentation… For such an ambitious mission, we're over the moon that is in such clearly capable hands.”
The new rating was a result of the new and improved Developer Documentation published last week. Read the full DeFiSafety Process Quality Review on their site, and check out the thread covering their analysis here.
