Re:Show HN: Kaibex, a Uniswap clone that saves on gas
on Tuesday March 22, 2022 @12:29PM (#30768162)
Hello, HN lurker, OP, and creator of Kaibex here.
This project started as a pet project of mine to get more comfortable with swap mechanisms and to make a clone of Uniswap that wasn't so bloated. While developing, I noticed that Uniswap does too much stuff when trading tokens and you could save on gas by simply using the core functions of the RouterV2 contract. Savings go from 2-5$ up to 100$ in high gas moments(500+). It's still young and more features are coming(limit orders, swaps through our internal chain, cross-chain compatibility). If you want to know more about our goals, you can check our homepage(kaibadefi.com). Any type of question or feedback is appreciated!

Having a rough idea of how portfolio management works would be a good start.
Logically, having all of your money in one bank(or asset, or whatever you are used to) is not a good idea since you're exposing yourself to a single point of failure(if that one asset/bank fails, you're screwed). You could have for example, 50% of your capital in one bank, 25% in another, 25% in cryptocurrency stables(currencies that keep an almost fixed value) and in this way you're reducing your risk on one side and raising it in other assets.
There are entire books about how to manage money and risk that explain in detail some common patterns and things to avoid when managing money.
Of course this is not financial advice, we all know that finance is a dangerous world and copying what someone else is doing may not bring you the same results.

With the same type of reasoning, we could plot whatever output our brain gives and there will be some type of neural network that can predict what we'll think/see/feel in the future.
What you said and the thing i just said were both ideas i had when starting learning how ai works, sadly it's something we can still not reach.at least for now

I went from building dummy projects in vue2 to production ready apps in react(next actually) because of the giant community it has, in particular in the web3 world. Boring or not, if it has better support/resources it's a logical better choice

Yeah scams.
No one obliges you to enter and be one of the people that get scammed.
But good luck finding a non web3 platform that gives you a 20% apy on ust, a stablecoin.

In general, you store the keys of your coins, not the coins themselves. Everything is inside the blockchain and the blockchain makes possibile to be sure that you have what you should have, thanks to consensus.
