Wildcat, a lending protocol that has recently landed on Ethereum mainnet, wants to make undercollateralized lending more ‘hands-off.’ The promise of uncollateralized lending is to enable credit and money expansion while remaining decentralized. In an X post revealing its mainnet launch, the Wildcat Protocol notes that existing processes around Web3 undercollateralized lending are too ‘hands-on’ with various responsibilities falling into the hands of protocols themselves. Laurence Day, the founder of Wildcat, told Blockworks that often in DeFi, people talk about “don’t trust, verify” writ large and insist that all on-chain agreements must be overcollateralized for safety when the counterparty is…

November 2023 proved to be a pivotal month for NFTs, with total sales skyrocketing to a staggering $915 million. Interestingly, this figure nearly tripled the preceding month’s return and hit an eight-month high since March 2023.

In February, sales reached a peak, amassing a whopping $1.2 billion. However, the euphoria was short-lived, leading to a steady decline…
Square Enix’s first blockchain game project, Symbiogenesis, has released its first batch of Ethereum NFT heroes—and the characters’ names are undeniably curious, to say the least. But they’re selling. Someone dropped over $1,200 worth of ETH for an NFT character named “Egg,” while another spent over $500 for a hero named “Starvation.” Neither Egg nor Starvation bear any physical resemblance to their names’ respective meanings, so it feels a bit like the names could have been spat out of an AI name generator, or are the beginning of someone’s crypto wallet seed phrase. “Kennel” looks like she’s much more ready…
Rising tides lift all ships—apparently even those of the battered, beleaguered, and oft-eulogized NFT market. As top altcoins including Ethereum and Solana continue to steadily pump, largely on the winds of Bitcoin’s tremendously persistent, now weeks-long price rally, NFT collections associated with those blockchain networks now appear to be along for the ride. Pudgy Penguins, for example, an Ethereum NFT collection and longtime bear market favorite, has jumped 74% in USD floor price in the last week alone, according to NFT Price Floor. Floor price refers to the lowest listed price for a single NFT in any given collection. Trading…
