We’re excited to announce the launch of the savUSD | USDC market from @avantprotocol on Curvance! What was once simple dollar exposure can now become productive, yield-bearing collateral on @monad, without adding unnecessary complexity for users. What is savUSD? savUSD is the staked, yield-bearing version of avUSD, Avant Protocol's USD-denominated yield asset. It sits as the senior tranche of Avant's capital structure, protected by a Reserve Fund and the avUSDx junior tranche, which absorb losses first. By combining: - Actively managed yield strategies - Senior tranche protection - Daily value accrual savUSD turns stablecoin deposits into a more productive asset for DeFi. Avant generates yield through a diversified, multi-strategy framework designed to adapt across market conditions, including market-neutral strategies, lending rate arbitrage, yield trading, lending markets, and liquidity provisioning. The savUSD | USDC market brings new capital efficiency to stablecoin holders on Monad: → Lend USDC to earn yield → Use savUSD as productive collateral → Loop positions to amplify returns → Capture both base yield and Curvance Bytes Avant brings the yield-bearing infrastructure. Curvance makes it composable. Monad gets a productive stablecoin primitive on day one. Explore Avant: Deposit savUSD | USDC here:

BITCOIN RAILS #59#: Post-Quantum Bitcoin Signatures (+ their tradeoffs) | with BIP 360 co-author @Ethan_Heilman and @Blockstream Head of Research @n1ckler 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: According to BIP 360 co-author Ethan Heilman, Bitcoin needs a minimum of two soft forks to become quantum resistant: P2MR (or an output type that can safely execute PQ signatures) + a post-quantum checksig (signature scheme). Ethan and the BIP 360 team (including myself and @cryptoquick) introduced the P2MR part via a BIP 360 update late last year—but the question remains, what’s the most appropriate PQ signature scheme for Bitcoin? They all have substantive tradeoffs, but hash-based signatures seem to be leading technical discourse—likely due to recent optimizations by @n1ckler and the broader @Blockstream research team. It was an honor to sit down with both of these men - arguably the two most influential and productive cryptographers in Bitcoin quantum mitigation right now - for an in-depth review of the leading PQ signature schemes and a temperature check on Bitcoin’s post-quantum planning process. TBH, if you want to skip the noise and jump straight to the signal on quantum, this is the interview to watch. In this episode, we discuss: - What needs to happen at the soft fork, infra, and mitigation levels to fully quantum-harden Bitcoin - Recent updates to BIP 360 + breakdown of the leading hash-based signatures schemes for Bitcoin (SHRINCS + SHRIMPS) - Why we may actually get consensus around a stateful scheme for Bitcoin - Comparisons of hash-based signatures vs Lattice and Isogeny-based schemes - Assessing the risks of both waiting too long and acting too fast (and why quantum is a better threat to be facing than a potential classical attack) This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by my NEW sponsors: - LayerTwo Labs @LayerTwoLabs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) - Hashi on @SuiNetwork — a primitive for executing Bitcoin Defi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity - BitBox @BitBoxSwiss — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.
