Where Do DeFi’s High Yields Come From? Understanding the Differences Between Liquidity Mining, Lending, and Staking

In the Web3 world, DeFi projects often advertise enticing yields. But high yields don’t come from nowhere. Understanding where the returns come from is more important than simply watching the APY.

First, a share of trading fees. On decentralized exchanges, liquidity providers deposit assets into pools to help users trade, and earn a portion of the fees according to the protocol’s rules. But if trading volume falls, fee income may also decline.

Second, liquidity mining rewards.

I just read a deep-dive analysis of the energy storage industry by LatePost.
Although the article is about energy storage, the more I read, the more it felt like it was describing the AI industry today...
Energy storage is clearly one of the industries with the most certain demand over the next few years, yet many companies in the sector are finding it harder and harder to make money as their businesses grow.
Global shipments of energy storage batteries were only around 130 GWh in 2022, but had grown to about 600 GWh by 2025 and are expected to exceed 1,000 GWh in 2026.

#MicrosoftEndsOracleLeaseExits3Sites $MSFT $ORCL
Microsoft not renewing an Oracle AI lease and stepping back from some Nscale projects is being read as “AI spending is slowing”. I read it differently. Microsoft is still committed to more than $80 billion of rented compute, so this looks like a company becoming choosy, not one that is leaving. The useful question is who gets hurt first, and for that I’d split suppliers into three types.

What actually happened

Microsoft let a 2023 Oracle capacity lease lapse. It was originally signed to power AI features in Bing, and it ran on older Nvidia ch

How Can DAOs Drive the Future of Web3 Through Community Governance? Understand Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, from Proposal Voting to On-Chain Execution

In traditional organizations, major decisions are usually made by management, a board of directors, or designated leaders.

In the Web3 world, a different kind of organization is taking shape: the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).

DAOs seek to coordinate the decisions and actions of different participants through public governance rules, community proposals, voting mechanisms, and smart contracts.

This is a practical use for RWAs.
Tokenized gold can now be used to borrow dollars without selling the gold.
Anchorage made this available to institutional clients holding Tether Gold (XAU₮).
The service is live, although we don't know how much borrowing is actually happening yet.
Would be good to see more real financial activity like this.

Why might the real competitive moat for payment systems be liquidity, rather than blockchain?

In the Web3 payments space, many projects emphasize faster transaction speeds, lower fees, and more advanced blockchain technology.

These capabilities do matter.

But if a business needs to pay an overseas supplier, or a user needs to convert stablecoins into local currency, what truly determines the payment experience may not be whether the transaction is completed in seconds, but whether the funds can be converted smoothly at a reasonable price.

This brings us to a key concept: liquidity.

I say DeepSeek is a dumbass—who disagrees?

What risks are hidden in smart contract upgrade permissions? Does code become immutable just because it is on-chain?

In the Web3 world, smart contracts are often described as programs that execute automatically. Deployed on a blockchain, they can process transactions, manage assets, or execute protocol logic according to predefined rules.

As a result, many people intuitively assume that once code is on-chain, its rules can no longer be changed by anyone.

But that is not necessarily true.

Some smart contracts cannot have their code directly modified after deployment. Others use proxy contra
