Seeking Yield by Staked - Issue 40: 📈 100MM Dai Debt Ceiling Reached, 🖥️ Validating on Polkadot webinar, ✍️ Ethereum 2.0 Update #3, 📊 Current Yields, & More
This is the fortieth issue of Seeking Yield by Staked, a weekly update about the most interesting things happening in crypto asset staking and lending.
📈 100MM Dai Debt Ceiling Reached
Earlier this week, MakerDAO reached the current debt ceiling of 100 million Dai.
This feat comes nearly two years after the launch of the system and less than two weeks until the transition to Multi-Collateral Dai on November 18th.
Graph: Coin Metrics
As a result, the Maker Foundation Interim Risk Team placed an Executive Vote into the voting system, which enabled the community to vote for a new Debt Ceiling of 120 million Dai. The vote passed and the change was implemented earlier today.
Keep an eye on the MakerDAO debt ceiling moving forward! 👀

✍️ Ethereum 2.0 Update #3
Danny Ryan from the Ethereum Foundation recently published the third Ethereum 2.0 update, highlighting the latest as phase 0 becomes increasingly imminent.
A few key takeaways:
Fork choice defenses have been hardened in response to attack vectors raised to ensure that the network can remain stable even under adverse conditions, such as a large attacker, major network outage, etc.
A new challenges.ethereum.org has been released. This website is a central source for all of the current bounties hosted by the Ethereum Foundation and/or related to Ethereum R&D. Featured bounties span over a number of areas, including finding vulnerabilities in existing Ethereum infrastructure to finding collisions in new hash functions.
Shigeo Mitsunari has received a grant for the Herumi library for ultra-fast BLS signature operations. This grant is intended to bring the libraries up to speed with the new BLS standard, as well as to help accomplish some more practical items for eth2 usability.
Phase 0 is near. Onward!
