L2 NFT Marketplaces Winding Down

Stratos (💙,🧡) - Arbitrum NFT Marketplace @stratosnft

A huge thank you to everyone in the Arbitrum and Stratos community. Our sister marketplace, Quix, is winding down, and we are as well. Quix will be open-sourcing their code, which also powers Stratos.

Quix 🔴✨ - Optimism NFT Marketplace @qx_app

We’re so grateful for the community support and adoption we’ve seen over the past year. We’re proud of what we built and how it’s grown. Today we’re announcing that Quix as a company is winding down; now we turn to the Optimism Collective to usher Quix into its next phase.

Quix and Stratos are sister NFT marketplaces on Optimism and Arbitrum. Both are winding down as the infrastructure costs are exceeding protocol revenue. Quix will open-source the code and user transitions will be directed onto OpenSea.

Vote to Close dYdX SSM

Xenophon Labs @XenophonLabs

Why dYdX should eliminate its safety staking module.

mirror.xyzdYdX Safety Staking Module ReviewdYdX Safety Staking Module - what it is and why it needs to go

dYdX’s Safety Staking Module is a pool of funds to cover shortfall events. The community is voting to wind down SSM as it uses DYDX as its insurance asset which could lose value due to potential market contagion and lack of liquidity.
