1/ Gm Time Travelers 🧑‍🚀

What time is it?
Time to borrow some cheap $ARB -- only on Timeswap!!!

We'll also explore different $ARB yield opportunities (ft. @Buffer_Finance @muxprotocol)

Here's a 🧵 to learn how to best use your $ARB! 👇 (1/10)

2/ For background, $ARB launched on March 23 and we saw:
- Intense volatility
- Massive trading volume
- Wild funding rates

But, things have now calmed down as the price has stabilised. 🕊️

This funding rate graph shows the gradual decline in the $ARB speculation frenzy.

3/ With massive inflows of $ARB into our lending pools, borrowing costs has gone way down. 📉

Currently, a mere ~3.46% APR! 😲

Plus, non-liquidatable loans mean you don't have to worry about pre-maturity price movements! ⚖️

A very fair offer for borrowers, what do you say?

4/ So why would you borrow $ARB in the first place?

Here are some simple strats for you to utilise your $ARB positions:

1) Shorting or hedging
2) Arb (no pun intended) b/w Timeswap and @SiloFinance
3) LPing on a DEX
4) @Buffer_Finance's aBLP pool
5) @muxprotocol's $MUXLP pools

5/ 1) Shorting or hedging

Borrow $ARB and sell it.

Take the cash and use it to open a long/short to hedge/double down on your position.

If it works out, you have made a tidy little profit with no risk of liquidation!

6/ 2) Arb (no pun intended) b/w Timeswap and @SiloFinance

1. Borrow $ARB from @SiloFinance at 1.4% APR
2. Lend $ARB into our pools at 3.46% APR
3. Interest rate arbitrage profit -> (3.46 - 1.4)% = 2.06%

Simple and reliable! 🔁

7/ 3) Providing liquidity on a DEX.

Because of the volatility and trading volume, being an LP is highly profitable.

Just look at those numbers! 👀

Just be sure to take IL into account!

8/ 4) @Buffer_Finance's $aBLP pool.

Their $aBLP pool is currently paying out 20.07% APR.

It's all in $ARB, so if you're bullish $ARB it's a solid choice to be an accumulatooor! 🐃

9/ 5) @muxprotocol's $MUXLP pools.

They are paying out a whopping 56.24% APR!

And, the rewards are all in $ETH so you can accumulate ultrasound money. 🦇 🔊

But, it depends on $MUXLP 's performance as $ARB is only a small percentage of it -- so take that into account!

10/ As always, be careful and DYOR before interacting with any protocols. 🦺
