July 17th, 2025 – Zug, Switzerland

Supra, the first vertically integrated Layer-1 blockchain built for Automatic DeFi (AutoFi), today announced its latest expansion in data offerings: native, real-time feeds for key economic indicators, including unemployment rates, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), bond yields, Federal Reserve rates, retail spending, and the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

This expansion enhances Supra’s expansive suite of native price feeds across crypto, FX, equities, ETFs, and commodities, cementing Supra’s role as the most comprehensive onchain data infrastructure for Web3 builders. Supra envisions these new price feeds will motivate developers to combine potentially causal macro factors with price-based analysis to develop compelling strategies.

For the first time, developers and traders on Supra can natively access critical macro-economic data, all cryptographically secured and delivered with the low latency and high reliability that Supra’s oracles are known for. This unlocks a powerful new category of smart contract logic and trading strategies that dynamically respond to both price action and macroeconomic conditions, all in a trustless, verifiable way.

“By adding native economic indicators to Supra’s data stack, we’re enabling dApps, DAOs, and DeFi traders to programmatically incorporate macro-economic variables into their onchain logic, eliminating dependency on centralized data providers or manual offchain integrations,” said Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra. “We’re excited to see what kinds of innovative algorithms and protocols developers will build with these new tools at their fingertips.”

Powering the Next Wave of Intelligent Trading Logic

Supra’s expanded data stack, combining native economic indicator feeds with high-fidelity price feeds and AutoFi capabilities, provides developers with a more robust foundation for developing advanced trading and investment strategies, such as:

  • Custom Indexing: Supra’s index generator allows developers to construct onchain indices that combine asset prices and macroeconomic indicators. This allows traders to benchmark or structure products that adjust weights based on economic health, for example, allocating more heavily to risk assets when GDP growth is strong or tilting defensively when macro signals deteriorate.
  • Macro-Informed Rebalancing: With native access to timely economic data such as unemployment rates, CPI, or bond yields, smart contracts can automatically rebalance positions to reflect shifts in the broader economy, such as increasing stablecoin allocations during high inflation or adjusting collateral ratios when interest rates move.
  • Compound Algorithms: Developers can design algorithms that merge short-term technical signals with macro-economic context, improving robustness across market regimes. For instance, a strategy might only execute momentum trades when macro conditions are supportive, or pause trading entirely when economic stress indicators exceed a certain threshold.
  • Event Driven Strategies: Protocols can implement onchain logic that reacts automatically to scheduled macro-economic releases, such as CPI prints, GDP updates, or central bank rate decisions, enabling strategies that hedge, rebalance, or shift exposure precisely when major economic data is published, without relying on manual intervention.
  • Dynamic Yield Adjustment: DApps can adjust their staking rewards, borrowing rates, or protocol fees in response to macro-economic conditions like inflation rates or changes in benchmark yields, allowing protocols to maintain stable incentives, protect peg stability, or align returns with real-world monetary trends.

Integrating macro-economic data directly into Supra’s native oracle network represents a significant advancement for decentralized finance, enabling developers to build applications and protocols that systematically adapt to changing economic conditions whilst maintaining trustless execution and verifiable data integrity.

A Future-Proof Data Layer for Web3

Supra’s vertically integrated stack, encompassing smart contracts, native oracle price feeds, verifiable randomness (VRF), automation, cross-chain messaging, and now macro-economic data, empowers developers with everything they need to build at scale without relying on fragmented third-party solutions. Supra can achieve this through its comprehensive, seamlessly integrated toolkit to build the next generation of DeFi, DAOs, and trading protocols.

“Supra is committed to delivering the most accurate, reliable, and comprehensive data infrastructure in Web3,” added Tobkin. “With native economic indicators, we’re giving developers the tools they need to build applications that are not just reactive, but proactive, capable of adapting to a fast-changing world.”

Supra invites developers and traders to explore these new capabilities, now available through Supra’s Developer Hub and API suite. For more information and to start building with Supra’s macro-economic data feeds, users can visit supra.com.

By passing through authentication data to the issuer, merchants in the U.S. using 3DS Flex™ from Worldpay can enhance payments security and shopper experience while improving approval rates.

“Fraud mitigation isn’t just an on or off switch; rather, it’s a balance that requires merchants to understand how security, authentication, authorization, fraud detection and the impact on the shopping experience work in harmony with one another,” said Cindy Turner, chief product officer at Worldpay. “For example, false positive declines of good faith purchases and additional steps in the checkout process present serious challenges to fraud mitigation strategies. This is why we partner with card networks like Visa to enhance authorizations – at the end of the day, it helps merchants achieve the highest standards of security while improving the overall customer experience.”

Worldpay research shows more than half (55%) of U.S. consumers abandon a transaction if it takes multiple tries to complete, demonstrating the importance of ensuring that a valid payment goes through on the first try. 3DS Flex boosts authorization rates and reduces extra authentication steps while maintaining heightened levels of security.

“With 3DS Flex, Worldpay is helping facilitate next-level collaboration between issuers and acquirers on the Visa network,” said Kirk Stuart, SVP and head of enablers, merchants and fintechs at Visa. “This game-changing innovation will help make transactions more secure and improve the customer experience – while also increasing merchant sales, or authorization rates. This is an exciting development for the payments ecosystem.”

The following is a guest post and opinion of Samuel Pearton, CMO at Polyhedra.

Reliability remains a mirage in the ever-expanding realm of AI models, affecting mainstream AI adoption in critical sectors like healthcare and finance. AI model audits are essential in restoring reliability within the AI industry, helping regulators, developers, and users enhance accountability and compliance.

But AI model audits can be unreliable since auditors have to independently review the pre-processing (training), in-processing (inference), and post-processing (model deployment) stages. A ‘trust, but verify’ approach improves reliability in audit processes and helps society rebuild trust in AI.

Traditional AI Model Audit Systems Are Unreliable

AI model audits are useful for understanding how an AI system works, its potential impact, and providing evidence-based reports for industry stakeholders.

For instance, companies use audit reports to acquire AI models based on due diligence, assessment, and comparative benefits between different vendor models. These reports further ensure developers have taken necessary precautions at all stages and that the model complies with existing regulatory frameworks.

But AI model audits are prone to reliability issues due to their inherent procedural functioning and human resource challenges.

According to the European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) AI auditing checklist, audits from a “controller’s implementation of the accountability principle” and “inspection/investigation carried out by a Supervisory Authority” could be different, creating confusion among enforcement agencies.

EDPB’s checklist covers implementation mechanisms, data verification, and impact on subjects through algorithmic audits. But the report also acknowledges audits are based on existing systems and don’t question “whether a system should exist in the first place.”

Besides these structural problems, auditor teams require updated domain knowledge of data sciences and machine learning. They also require complete training, testing, and production sampling data spread across multiple systems, creating complex workflows and interdependencies.

Any knowledge gap or error between coordinating team members can lead to a cascading effect and invalidate the entire audit process. As AI models become more complex, auditors will have additional responsibilities to independently verify and validate reports before aggregated conformity and remedial checks.

The AI industry’s progress is rapidly outpacing auditors’ capacity and capability to conduct forensic analysis and assess AI models. This leaves a void in audit methods, skill sets, and regulatory enforcement, deepening the trust crisis in AI model audits.

An auditor’s primary task is to enhance transparency by evaluating risks, governance, and underlying processes of AI models. When auditors lack the knowledge and tools to assess AI and its implementation within organizational environments, user trust is eroded.

A Deloitte report outlines the three lines of AI defense. In the first line, model owners and management have the main responsibility to manage risks. This is followed by the second line, where policy workers provide the needed oversight for risk mitigation.

The third line of defense is the most important, where auditors gauge the first and second lines to evaluate operational effectiveness. Subsequently, auditors submit a report to the Board of Directors, collating data on the AI model’s best practices and compliance.

To enhance reliability in AI model audits, the people and underlying tech must adopt a ‘trust but verify’ philosophy during audit proceedings.

A ‘Trust, But Verify’ Approach to AI Model Audits

‘Trust, but verify’ is a Russian proverb that U.S. President Ronald Reagan popularized during the United States–Soviet Union nuclear arms treaty. Reagan’s stance of “extensive verification procedures that would enable both sides to monitor compliance” is beneficial for reinstating reliability in AI model audits.

In a ‘trust but verify’ system, AI model audits require continuous evaluation and verification before trusting the audit results. In effect, this means there is no such thing as auditing an AI model, preparing a report, and assuming it to be correct.

So, despite stringent verification procedures and validation mechanisms of all key components, an AI model audit is never safe. In a research paper, Penn State engineer Phil Laplante and NIST Computer Security Division member Rick Kuhn have called this the ‘trust but verify continuously’ AI architecture.

The need for constant evaluation and continuous AI assurance by leveraging the ‘trust but verify continuously’ infrastructure is critical for AI model audits. For example, AI models often require re-auditing and post-event reevaluation since a system’s mission or context can change over its lifespan.

A ‘trust but verify’ method during audits helps determine model performance degradation through new fault detection techniques. Audit teams can deploy testing and mitigation strategies with continuous monitoring, empowering auditors to implement robust algorithms and improved monitoring facilities.

Per Laplante and Kuhn, “continuous monitoring of the AI system is an important part of the post-deployment assurance process model.” Such monitoring is possible through automatic AI audits where routine self-diagnostic tests are embedded into the AI system.

Since internal diagnosis may have trust issues, a trust elevator with a mix of human and machine systems can monitor AI. These systems offer stronger AI audits by facilitating post-mortem and black box recording analysis for retrospective context-based result verification.

An auditor’s primary role is to referee and prevent AI models from crossing trust threshold boundaries. A ‘trust but verify’ approach enables audit team members to verify trustworthiness explicitly at each step. This solves the lack of reliability in AI model audits by restoring confidence in AI systems through rigorous scrutiny and transparent decision-making.

]]> https://earlybirdsinvest.com/ai-model-audits-need-a-trust-but-verify-approach-to-enhance-reliability/feed/ 0 35471 Aave proposes major economic overhaul to enhance revenue and sustainability https://earlybirdsinvest.com/aave-proposes-major-economic-overhaul-to-enhance-revenue-and-sustainability/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/aave-proposes-major-economic-overhaul-to-enhance-revenue-and-sustainability/#respond Wed, 05 Mar 2025 06:39:59 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/aave-proposes-major-economic-overhaul-to-enhance-revenue-and-sustainability/

Aave has proposed a comprehensive update to its economic framework, focusing on revenue distribution, staking incentives, and liquidity management.

The proposal, introduced by Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) founder Marc Zeller on March 4, is considered a pivotal development in Aave’s evolution. He stated:

“We consider it the most important proposal in our history.”

According to the proposal, Aave has consistently expanded its market presence over the past two years, building a strong financial foundation.

Despite fluctuating market conditions, Aave continues to generate robust revenue, with the DeFi protocol’s liquid reserves surging by 115% to reach $115 million. This strong financial position enables Aave to proceed with its tokenomics upgrade while staying competitive.

A crucial aspect of the proposal is the establishment of the Aave Finance Committee (AFC), a governance-backed entity responsible for managing treasury funds and liquidity strategies.

The AFC will oversee financial allocations within Aave’s ecosystem, ensuring sustainable revenue distribution.

The initiative includes contributions from key stakeholders, including Chaos Labs, TokenLogic, Llamarisk, and ACI.

Buyback strategy

The AFC will manage a six-month AAVE buyback program to enhance token value and ecosystem sustainability, allocating $1 million weekly. Meanwhile, the program may expand based on Aave’s financial health, pending further governance approval.

The AFC can execute purchases directly or collaborate with market makers to acquire AAVE from secondary markets. These tokens will then be distributed to the ecosystem reserve.

TokenLogic, a financial services provider for Aave DAO, will structure buybacks based on the protocol’s overall budget. The goal is to eventually match—and surpass—all protocol expenditures related to AAVE while maintaining a cautious treasury approach.

With new revenue streams expected in 2025, the AFC may propose increasing the buyback budget. TokenLogic will determine which assets finance these purchases, adjusting strategies monthly based on Aave’s treasury composition.

Introducing ‘Umbrella’ for risk mitigation

Aave currently incurs significant liquidity costs, amounting to $27 million annually. To optimize capital efficiency, the proposal suggests consolidating staking and liquidity management under a new system called Umbrella.

This mechanism is designed to provide unmatched protection against bad debt—an area where competitors have largely retreated.

By offering this safeguard, Aave strengthens its position, particularly for institutional participants wary of on-chain risks.

Meanwhile, Umbrella would be integrated across multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum Mainnet (Core & Prime instances), Avalanche, Sonic, Arbitrum, Gnosis, and the Coinbase-backed Base network.

LEND deprecation

The proposal also seeks to finalize the transition from LEND, Aave’s original governance token, before the 2020 upgrade to AAVE.

The plan involves freezing the LEND migration contract to reclaim 320,000 AAVE tokens valued at approximately $65 million.

The proposal noted that the community had ample time to complete the transition and suggested closing the migration process.

Following this, the DeFi protocol’s governance could decide how to allocate these recovered funds—whether for growth initiatives, security enhancements, or token burns.

Anti-GHO

Aave also proposes launching Anti-GHO, a new rewards mechanism designed to improve incentives for GHO stablecoin holders. This feature would replace the current discount model with a non-transferable ERC20 token.

Anti-GHO would be distributed to AAVE and StkBPT stakers. Holders could burn the token at a 1:1 ratio against GHO debt or convert it into StkGHO.

The issuance of Anti-GHO would be directly linked to revenue generated from GHO. A governance-determined percentage of revenue from GHO facilitators would be allocated toward minting and distributing Anti-GHO.

This approach ensures that incentives remain sustainable and scale proportionally with Aave’s growth.

However, implementing Anti-GHO may require additional development and auditing. The feature could be introduced in a future Aavenomics Part Two proposal.

Ethereum has undergone a remarkable transformation since its inception, particularly with the shift from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This evolution has opened up new avenues for users to earn passive income through staking. As businesses and individuals explore ways to grow their crypto portfolios, understanding how to restake Ethereum becomes increasingly important. This blog will guide you through the process of staking and restaking Ethereum, providing practical tips for maximizing your earnings.

Understanding Ethereum Staking
Staking is the process of participating in the network’s operations by locking up a certain amount of cryptocurrency, specifically Ether (ETH). By doing so, you contribute to the security and efficiency of the Ethereum blockchain while earning rewards in return.

What is Staking?

In PoS networks like Ethereum 2.0, validators are chosen to create new blocks and verify transactions based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to “stake.” Unlike mining in PoW systems, staking does not require significant computational power; it relies on the quantity of ETH staked.

When you stake your ETH, you essentially lock it away for a certain period, during which you cannot access it. In return for this commitment, you receive rewards in the form of additional ETH. The more ETH you stake, the higher your chances of being selected as a validator, which directly influences your potential earnings.

The Transition to Ethereum 2.0

The transition to Ethereum 2.0 was initiated with the launch of its Beacon Chain in December 2020. This upgrade aims to improve scalability, security, and sustainability while reducing energy consumption significantly compared to its predecessor.

Ethereum 2.0 introduces several key features:

Proof-of-Stake (PoS): Validators replace miners in securing the network. This shift reduces energy consumption and allows for more efficient transaction processing.

Shard Chains: These will enable Ethereum to process multiple transactions simultaneously, enhancing scalability.

Beacon Chain: This is the backbone of Ethereum 2.0 that coordinates the network’s validators and manages staking.

With these advancements, users can stake their ETH and earn rewards without needing extensive technical knowledge or resources.

How to Stake Ethereum

To start staking Ethereum effectively, follow these comprehensive steps:

1. Set Up a Wallet

The first step in staking is selecting a compatible wallet that supports staking functionalities. Some popular options include:

MetaMask: A widely-used browser extension wallet that allows easy interaction with decentralized applications (dApps) and supports staking.

MyEtherWallet: A user-friendly interface for managing ETH and ERC-20 tokens that also facilitates staking.

Trust Wallet: A mobile wallet that supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and provides staking options.

Ensure that your chosen wallet can connect to the Ethereum network and supports staking functionalities. Security is paramount; consider wallets that offer two-factor authentication (2FA) or hardware wallets for added protection.

2. Acquire Ether

You will need ETH to stake. If you do not already own ETH, you can purchase it from various exchanges or platforms like Blocktrade, Coinbase, or Binance. When buying ETH:

Choose a Reputable Exchange: Select exchanges known for their security measures and user-friendly interfaces.

Consider Fees: Be aware of transaction fees associated with purchasing ETH, as they can vary significantly between platforms.

3. Choose Your Staking Method

You have two primary options for staking:

Solo Staking: This method requires a minimum of 32 ETH and involves running your own validator node. While this option offers higher rewards, it also demands technical expertise and ongoing maintenance.

Staking Pools: These allow you to combine your resources with other users’ stakes. This method is more accessible as it requires less ETH (often as little as 0.01 ETH) and eliminates the need for technical setup or maintenance.

4. Select a Staking Pool (if applicable)

If you opt for a staking pool, research different pools based on several criteria:

Reputation: Look for pools with positive reviews from users and established track records.

Fees: Understand how much each pool charges in terms of fees; lower fees can significantly impact your overall earnings.

Reward Structures: Different pools may offer varying reward rates or distribution methods; choose one that aligns with your investment goals.

Some popular staking pools include Rocket Pool, Lido Finance, and StakeWise.

5. Deposit Your ETH

Once you’ve selected your method — solo or pool — deposit your ETH into your wallet or the staking pool. Follow the instructions provided by your wallet or pool platform carefully:

For solo staking, you’ll need to set up your validator node using software like Prysm or Lighthouse.

For staking pools, navigate to their website and follow their deposit instructions, which usually involve connecting your wallet and confirming the transaction.

6. Start Earning Rewards

After depositing your ETH into your chosen method of staking, you will begin earning rewards based on your stake size and duration. Rewards are typically distributed regularly — daily or weekly — and can be viewed through your wallet or pool dashboard.

What is Restaking?

Restaking refers to the practice of taking your earned staking rewards and reinvesting them into the staking process. This strategy can significantly increase your overall returns over time due to compounding effects.

Why Consider Restaking?

Restaking can be beneficial for several reasons:

Increased Earnings: By reinvesting rewards back into staking, you increase your total stake amount over time, leading to higher future rewards.

Compounding Effect: Over time, compounding can result in substantial growth in your holdings as rewards generate additional rewards.

For example, if you earn 1 ETH per month from staking and restake it each month, by the end of the year, you’ll have earned rewards on both your initial stake and on every subsequent reward added back into the stake.

How to Restake Ethereum

Restaking Ethereum is straightforward but requires careful attention to detail. Here are the steps involved:

1. Monitor Your Rewards

Regularly check how much ETH you have earned from staking through your wallet or pool dashboard. Most platforms provide clear information about accrued rewards along with any pending distributions.

2. Withdraw Your Rewards

If your platform allows it, withdraw your staking rewards from your wallet or pool account:

Understand any fees associated with this process; some platforms may charge withdrawal fees.

Make sure you’re aware of any minimum withdrawal amounts if applicable.

3. Reinvest Your Rewards

Once you’ve withdrawn your rewards, deposit them back into the same staking method (solo or pool) to restake them:

For solo stakers: You may need to run additional commands on your validator node software to add more funds.

For pool participants: Simply follow their specific instructions for reinvesting; many pools allow easy reinvestment through their dashboard.

4. Set Up Automatic Restaking (if available)

Some platforms offer automatic restaking options where earned rewards are automatically reinvested into the staking process without manual intervention:

This feature can save time and ensure that you maximize potential earnings consistently without having to remember to manually restake each time.

Always review terms associated with automatic restaking; some platforms may have specific conditions attached.

Tips for Maximizing Staking Earnings

To make the most out of your Ethereum staking experience, consider these tips:

Choose Reliable Platforms

Ensure that you use reputable wallets and staking pools with strong security measures:

Research user reviews and expert opinions before committing funds.

Look for platforms that have been audited by third-party security firms.

Stay Informed

Keep up with developments in Ethereum’s ecosystem as changes may affect staking rewards or methods:

– Follow reputable news sources such as CoinDesk or CoinTelegraph for updates on protocol changes or upgrades.

– Engage with community forums like Reddit’s r/ethereum or Discord channels dedicated to Ethereum discussions.

Diversify Your Investments

While focusing on Ethereum is beneficial due to its strong market position, consider diversifying across other cryptocurrencies or investment opportunities for balanced risk management:

Explore other PoS cryptocurrencies such as Cardano (ADA), Polkadot (DOT), or Solana (SOL) that offer similar earning potentials through staking.

Consider investing in DeFi projects that provide yield farming opportunities alongside traditional crypto investments.

Understand Risks

Be aware of potential risks associated with staking such as liquidity issues and market volatility:

Recognize that while staking can provide steady returns, cryptocurrency markets are inherently volatile; prices can fluctuate dramatically.

Ensure you’re comfortable with locking up funds for extended periods as some platforms may impose penalties for early withdrawals.

Conclusion

Staking and restaking Ethereum present exciting opportunities for businesses and individuals looking to grow their crypto portfolios through passive income generation. By following these outlined steps and tips diligently, you can effectively participate in the Ethereum network while maximizing your earnings potential over time.
