Made an “awesome list" to track the ambitious projects behind Ethereum’s “open finance” narrative - from stablecoins (like @MakerDAO 's margin-enabling $DAI) to derivatives (like tokenized CDS from @CDx_Project ) to on-chain fund management (like @melonport )

But "open finance" is trading the opacity of Wall Street structured products with the complexity of (sometimes buggy) open source Solidity code. We need better tools to understand how these products interact to avoid unintended consequences.

Given the current OpenAI situation, GPTs’ longevity seems uncertain. But if they stick around, here are 2 tactics to ensure their accuracy and performance⚡: - Use APIs via Actions to retrieve actual data (like Spotify IDs) 🎵 - Use a proxy that simplifies API responses since
