protocol-v2 VS metamask-extension

The real services, and counter to his points are Ethereum/DAI, aave.com, and gmx.io. All legitimate (non-confidence) services that I have used for years without issue. All services rely on smart contracts as counter parties so you don't need to worry about some dude running off with your money (that is tradfi problems that crypto is fixing)

I love defi and what it stands for. I love the fact that I can lend my capital through a fully decentralized protocol like AAVE or Compound and earn money on it.

Strength in numbers. The collectivised savings deposits of bond holders earn interest on Aave. Aave is the leading non-custodial liquidity provider in decentralised finance (DeFi). Once a week interest accrued by the collective is distributed to Prize Bond holders by lottery with additional draws held at the end of each quarter. Prize draws are provably fair through the integration of Chainlink VRF.

and official website is aave.com and the app launcher is app.aave.com

Digital currency (Aave), is a cryptocurrency that strives to provide comprehensive services to its users by creating a transparent and open-source infrastructure with the aim of lending and borrowing from tokens. (Aave) is a decentralized financial protocol. May the system function in such a way that the lenders deposit their assets and digital funds in the liquidity network (Aave) and thus make a profit for themselves. On the other hand, borrowers of the network (Aave) also receive loans from this system and network and put their cryptocurrency as collateral.

The Real Yield DeFi can divide into two types: 1. Fee - such as Borrowing Fee, Trading Fee, Transaction Fee or Insurance Fee (COMP, AAVE, FORW, GMX, ETH) 2. Reinvestment - such as reinvestment in the Real Yield from 1. or reinvestment in the physical products in the real world. (GFI)

A good way to be wary of tokens that you receive in airdrops, is that when there is a URL in the name of the token, it is most likely a scam. This token has a website name, that is not the official AAVE website. The official AAVE website is here: https://aave.com/

Have an Ethereum wallet, preferably Metamask installed.

A  Metamask Account.

Plenty of projects are source-available, but not open source, and get tons of issues, and even contributions (https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension off the top of my head)

You can create an attestation based on an existing schema or create your own. Schemas define the format in which attestations will be made, and in this case, we will use the Is Human schema to attest that the owner of a certain address is human. For this example, you only need to connect your Metamask wallet (or any wallet) to Scroll Sepolia, then enter the address you want to attest and click Make attestation. You can choose whether you want the off-chain attestation, i.e., free, obtained only by signing a transaction. Alternatively, you can choose to make it on-chain and pay for the transaction to make it public and connect it to smart contract logic. In this case, you will need to obtain funds in Scroll Sepolia through a Scroll Sepolia Faucet.

Metamask (9000 GitHub Stars) https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension

For this tutorial you will need Metamask or other wallet of your choice, with Scroll Sepolia funds that you can get from a Sepolia faucet and then bridge them to L2 using the Scroll Sepolia bridge. Alternatively, you can use a Scroll Sepolia Faucet to get funds directly on L2.

16) Open Metamask app. In this instruction we will use Metamask extension for Chrome browser.

> I get a 3-5 sec lag on launch [0] as it prepares the browser to block ads.

uBO is typically ready in a fraction of second, so "3-5 sec" is not normal. In Firefox all extensions sit in the same process, so it's possible another extension is preventing uBO to be ready in a timely manner, this has happened[1].
