Anecdotal, but btcJam was one of the first to the market of paying interest, and could offer 8% with significant reputation recourse.

Btcjam were making the market between miners buying more equipment and capital much earlier.

Eth staking was also in the plan this same time as FTX

Yup, i remember, I gave 3 loans of a few BTC there to three "AAA+++" borrowers, only one repaid the loan, partially :) Their "arbitration" decided in my favor, the catch was I needed to go find the debtors (with a fake Brazilian identity) myself :)

He was in "reputation accumulation" phase.
