Welcome to the alpha please newsletter. I curate five alpha tweets every Friday; that’s it, that’s the newsletter.
Another week, another bridge hack. We also had a major blockchain pause itself for the first time (muh decentralised). What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger… r-right?
1. Why IBC?

You can use DefiLlama’s lending optimiser dashboard to find borrowing routes for stables. 0xngmi drops the alpha.
