Given the increase in $NFTX interest and other forms of NFT securitization, check out our investment thesis from last month โ€” we strongly believe these mechanisms will pave the path forward for increased retail adoption (And don't forget to follow @alexgausman and @0xChop !)

One of the main issues with NFTs is access to liquidity. Many people would love exposure to NFTs but donโ€™t know how to get from start to finish in building a portfolio Successes such as @OnRallyRd and @StockX show that securitized solutions to this problem can be powerful

Rather than being a single provably scarce image or video file, each LOOT is a collection of 8 items, with smart-contract readable properties. The collection is expressed as text, similar to a JSON array that contains rich properties & metadata.
@rleshner

@scottjenson @worm_emoji @zoink @lootproject Most NFTs are an โ€œimageโ€. What sets LOOT apart is that there are smart-contract readable parameters for each of the inventory slots, so that games and experiences can be built on top. Imagine logging into World of Warcraft with your LOOTโ€”which is different from everyone elseโ€™s.

An ideal NFT index, like a well-constructed hedge fund, adeptly balances LP liquidity needs with the capital reqs. of the highest earning assets. While this model will first be tested with art & other Veblen goods, it is applicable to legacy financial instruments (e.g. mortgages)

What seems like fun and games right now with NFTs could evolve into a series of stronger financial mechanisms for illiquid asset productivity. As Uniswap illustrated, servicing the long-tail of assets can be a net positive for all parties. But what about the long-tail of funds?

Stats, images, and other functionality are intentionally omitted for others to interpret. This allows LOOT to be an open, composable building block in whatever ecosystem the community decides to build; like Ethereum, while most NFTs look like #Bitcoin .

This is a brilliant idea, and nails the spirit of composability. A successful ecosystem likely requires way more bags (maybe 100k-1M), but hopefully this serves as a meta verse proof of concept โš”๏ธ

Currently: NFTs only work for Veblen goods โ€” goods whose demand increases with price (e.g. Supreme) โ€” this is a function of the auction mechanisms used by NFT sellers. Most people donโ€™t want the hassle of exposure via auctions, which requires research and market monitoring ๐Ÿ‘€

In โ€˜17-โ€™18, we were promised real world assets on-chain, yet most of what we saw was disappointing. This was because there was nothing you could do with a security token that you couldnโ€™t do with an equity instrument. Has this changed in 2020?

Most Americans currently have a fundamentally flawed banking experience: ~no interest, no rewards, and a terrible user experience. We're proud to be investors in @patrickmro_ and the Point team-they're going to change that.

While this paper lays out a model for enhanced light client participation (our rebrand of intersubjective staking ๐Ÿ˜…), there is a lot of work to be done on the implementation and security of such a system โ€” if you're interested, @eigenfoundation and @eigenlayer are hiring!

One of the hardest things in such systems is adequately incentivizing participants who are not actively participating (as node operators) across inherently heterogeneous state machines to ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฎ

Light client participation within fault tolerance is a goal of everything from data availability sampling (where light clients help verify input data and participate in reconstructing a chain after a malicious fork) to user-submitted fraud proofs and watchtower networks

EIGEN: System for incentivizing light client participation to ensure the security invariants of restaking (i.e. corruption cost โ‰ฅ profit of corruption) and can be viewed as an evolution of previous designs such as Fisherman Q: When/why do we need light client participation?

Restaking is often more complex than a standard consensus protocol โ€” one needs to cohere many different forms of state that have differing temporal value (e.g. state that is only valid for a time window, like DA, or perpetual state like a ZKP) How do you tie these together?

Goal for such applications: Allow non-consensus users to provide input on non-attributable faults (state machine cannot verify fault itself โ€” e.g. bad oracle update) while minimizing the resources required for light clients to participate โ†’ corruption cost ๐Ÿ“ˆ while profit ๐Ÿ“‰

Many networks and protocols have been created in the past to reconcile inequivalent consensus across multiple state machines, with the closest analog to restaking lying within the Fisherman of Polkadot, who ensure fault tolerance among node operators of multiple parachains
